gestured for me to get in.
I sighed
and reluctantly climbed in. I didn’t
really mind spending time with Liam but it just depended which Liam
would be here with me, the night or the day one. Night Liam was
considerate, loving and thoughtful. Day Liam was a flirt, slut and
a jerk. However, both night and day Liam’s made me feel safe and
protected. I turned to look at him while he was driving; he had a
small smile on his face.
“ What’s up
with you?” I asked, a bit concerned this was going to
tur n into some sort of joke that would
end badly for me or embarrass me.
“ What do you
mean? I can’t be happy that we’re spending some time together?” he
asked, giving me a flirty wink. I rolled my eyes and groaned. Great, an hour with daytime Liam is my
worst nightmare.
I wasn’t paying attention to where we were going so I
was surprised when we pulled into the parking lot for the ice rink.
He grinned and got out; I followed him with a frown. “What are we
doing here?” I asked as he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
Maybe they had a good café inside or something, that was the only
reason I could think of for him to bring me here.
He ignored my
question. “Hi , two please,” he said to
the lady behind the counter, handing over the money. I gasped; we
were actually going to skate? I’d been skating a few times in my
life but I was completely terrible at it.
“ You need
skate hire?” the lady asked with a friendly grin
whil e her eyes roamed over Liam’s body
discreetly.
“ Yeah, an
eleven and a five please,” he replied, winking at me. I frowned as
he spoke, wondering how on earth he knew my shoe size.
She passed
him two sets of skates and he grinned again, grabbing my hand and
dragging me to the benches. I noticed that the lady didn’t stop
watching Liam as he walked away , and she
actually licked her lips at his ass. I laughed and rolled my eyes
at her, which made her blush and look away.
“ What’s so
funny?” Liam asked, looking at me weirdly.
“ You’ve got
another fan, ” I stated, nodding my head
towards the woman. “You just can’t help yourself, can you?” I
teased with a small smile.
“ Don’t worry,
I’m not interested in her ,” he replied,
looking at me as if trying to tell me something.
“ Worried?
Liam, I wasn’t worried,” I scoffed, as I rolled my eyes.
We
c hanged into our skates and walked
towards the ice. There was no one else on there, probably because
it was only just after nine in the morning. “Why are we doing this?
You know I can’t skate.” I winced, looking at the ice, starting to
panic.
He laughed
and pulled me onto the ice. “I know, I remember. Don’t worry, I’ll
help you.” Liam and my brother played Ice hockey for the school;
Jake was the goal keeper and Liam the striker. They had both been
skating for years, but I had never been able to do it. I loved to
watch people skate and always wished I could learn, but I literally
couldn’t stand up. He grabbed both of my hands as I slipped and
slid all over the place. He was skating backwards, facing me.
“You’re bending your ankles in slightly, Angel. Try to keep them
straight, that’s why you have no control,” he said, looking at my
feet.
I stood
straighter and felt my feet slide out from under me; instantly, he grabbed me around the waist and
leant backwards so that we both fell and I landed on top of him,
his body breaking my fall. He chuckled under me; I pushed myself up
to my knees so I was straddling him, then sat down next to him. I
couldn’t stand up so I waited for him to get up first.
“ OK, attempt
number two.” He smiled, pulling me to my feet easily. “Stand up
straight and keep your feet still, I’ll pull you around until you
can get your balance.” He kicked at my skates gently, nudging them
to get them closer together as he gripped my hands
tightly.
I managed to
sta y on my feet for a while before losing
my balance. Again, he grabbed me around the waist and
