198 Stolen kisses

But Liam knew better than to kiss her. So he started a conversation with her in order to stop himself from doing something he would regret.

For the first time since she came home, Ying Sheng let her guard down completely and enjoyed a companionable moment with Liam.

They talked about things that did not really matter, yet she enjoyed the casual talk between them. 

They talked until late in the night, it wasn't until Ying Sheng said she was going to bed that Liam realized it was late. She stood up from his lap.

"Can you stay for a few minutes?" Liam pleaded.

He didn't know what came over him but he reached out and gently caressed her cheeks with the palm of his hand.

Ying Sheng stiffened and blinked. Why is she always receiving mix signals from this guy?

Did he like her? Or he was just treating her as a friend. 

"Stay a little longer." Liam said again gazing into her eyes.
