11 Chapter 11: Oh. My. God

Heinrich's Pov

I subtly glared at her as she picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth. I wished I wasn't in this position this moment, the smell of her perfume and her too long red painted artificial nails irritated me to the point of insanity, but I had to do this, just to win the damn contract with her father.

"Isn't this restaurant so beautiful" she said, her bright red lipstick coated lips stretching into a too huge smile which almost looked fake as she batted her eyelashes.

"Yeah right, I booked it specially for you" I replied as I tried hard enough to hide the irritation in my voice.

She twisted her head to the side as she looked at me with raised eyebrows. Shit, she has finally noticed my irritation.

"Ah I can see you aren't really comfortable here, want to go somewhere else?" Her supposedly sweet smile appeared again as she outstretched her hands towards mine, her fingers grazing mine repeatedly, she bit her lips seductively as she sized me up, I locked my jaws and quickly diverted my gaze towards the table not wanting to make eye contact with her. This is seriously the worst moment of my life, how could she not even notice how peeved I am, well thank God she's du-

"Are you ok?" her high pitched voice rung in my ears, interrupting my thoughts, I slowly looked up at her and forcefully smiled "Why won't I be?" I asked as I quickly retrieved my hands to fix my tie.

"You look so uneasy" she finally observed.

I forced out a chuckle "oh no, it's just I tend to be really nervous in front of pretty women" I successfully gave her a genuine grin for the first time tonight and also succeeded in having the urge to throw up with the cheeky line. I need a bucket

"Uh excuse me for a second, I want to use the toilet" I said as I stood up from my seat, I felt like I had been released from jail after a very long time and could finally breath, I really didn't like her.

I let out a breath of relief and walked into the toilet.

Brianna's POV

"This place is so...classy" I said as I took in my surroundings, the restaurant had soft lighting and peaceful music with a soothing and pleasant ambience, it was spacious and positively clean and with no doubt expensive. It is known for serving one of the best Italian foods which is no doubt very expensive.

"Could you please lead us to the reservation under the name Mrs Benson" Liam politely asked the pretty dark haired woman at the reservation desk.

"You're very welcome, please turn to the left" she gestured to the seat at the far end of the room where a brown skinned woman with dark curly hair sat.

Liam explained that his real mom died when he was really young leaving him with no memories of her, his dad got married to his step mom who had raised him since he was five years old so he saw her as his actual mom and loved her very much.

"Is that your mom?" I quietly asked Liam as we made our way to the woman who had her back to us.

"Nope, just someone I have come to see for no particular reason" he responded with an eye roll, I nudged his arm with my elbow and he whimpered in pain

He swiftly put his arm around my waist drawing me closer to him as he whispered closely into my ears,

"Remember my Mom is right here so behave"

"Will try my best" I gritted out, wishing I could punch him one last time before we get to him mom.

"Hi Mom" Liam greeted cheerfully immediately we got to the table,

Mrs Benson looked up from the menu she had in hand, a eye touching smile slowly reaching her lips as she looked up at us, her brown eyes were the prettiest pair I had ever seen with a pair of arched eyebrows looking down on sweeping eyelashes, her coils of midnight dark her tumbled over her shoulders, I envied her glossy skin which glowed under the light, she was really pretty.

"Hey son" she quipped as she stood up from her chair to give Liam a motherly hug, she looked right at me after she drew back from the embrace and smiled, a set of dazzling white teeth gleamed and I smiled back,

"You must be Liam's girlfriend" she said, a hint of excitement in her voice,

"Yh, that's right" I almost faltered but covered it up with a smile.

Her eyes brightened as he gave me a tight hug, I felt a pang of pain in my chest, Liam and I were lying to this very sweet woman.

"Are you okay?" Mrs Benson had already drawn back and was staring at me, her eyebrows quirked at me,

"Um, yh why wouldn't I be?" I chuckled nervously,

"Don't try to hide it dear" she said with a smile.

My eyes popped out of it's sockets, Oh no, shoot me now.

"You must be really nervous since you're meeting your boyfriend's mom" she asserted as she rubbed my arm with her palm comfortingly.

"Yh mom, she's a shy type" Liam inserted as he took me by the hands and led me to one of the chairs to take my seat.

Mrs Benson took her seat and smiled at me, she really loved smiling, "So Brianna, when did you both start dating?" she asked resting her cheeks on her fists as she gazed at me her eyes gleaming with interest.

"Well, we've know each other for so long..." I trailed off as I smiled at Liam who sat right beside me as he expectantly stared at me. Oh my God, this is the most cringe moment of my life.

"We didn't realise we had feelings for each other at that time, but it all changed one Friday night when he oh so suddenly asked me out" I heaved a sigh and continued "A day I will never forget"

By the time I was done Liam had his palm over his mouth, his face was scarlett as he tried to stifle his laughter, the idiot had the audacity to laugh at this very crucial moment, I slowly turned to him a pseudo sweet smile etched on my lips as I tactfully glared at him,

He cleared his throat and smiled immediately he caught my glare, "yeah mom I have loved her for so long" he said with a toothy grin as he threw his arm over my shoulders. Ugh kill me now.

"Awe that's so sweet, I am so happy to know that he finally has someone he can rely on" Mrs Benson said heartily, thankfully she hadn't noticed the little drama happening.

"Hello, have you decided on what you're ordering yet?" a waitress thankfully interrupted, her now being the center of attention,

"I will order the stake with a glass of water" Mrs Benson told the waitress, flashing her a sweet smile.

I quickly glanced through the menu and ordered Tagliatelle al ragú, it was my favourite italian food.

"Will order the same and a bottle of wine for both of us" Liam said as he winked at me, I scoffed "so childish, I never said I wanted wine anyway" I muttered to him.

"Were you saying something" Liam's mom suddenly asked.

I quickly turned to her and chuckled nervously "oh it's nothing" I said as I slapped Liam's tighs causing him to hiss in pain.

Mrs Benson smiled at us and shook her head, "you're both cute"

...........

Dinner went on pretty well, and we thankfully weren't caught in our act even though we were on the brink of being caught. Mrs Benson left after a while since something really important came up, leaving Liam and I at the restaurant.

"God that was so exhausting, I need an Oscar award for my amazing act" I said smugly looking at Liam expectantly to agree with me.

"Eh, not really, you weren't the best and you also weren't that bad, I will give you a... five over ten"

"Whatever, who needs your opinion anyway"

"I for sure know that I was the bes-"

"Gotta use the washroom, bye" I cut him off as I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Annoying prick.

I never imagined this date will go on successfully, I mean I was about eighty-nine percent sure we were going to be caught, ah I guess my acting skills really paid off after all. Liam just sat there doing nothing like a sac of potatoes whilst I did all the jo-

"Hey babe, are you home?" my attention was immediately drawn to the whinny voice I will always recognize anywhere.

I looked directly towards the source of voice and my instinct wasn't wrong, she was in front of the ladies room door, one of her hands on the handle,

"Oh, then I will be there in a few minutes"

I don't know how it happened but a growl suddenly escaped my throat

Her attention was already on me before I could do anything like escape, she looked at me in bewilderment, the gears in her brain were moving as she eyed at me from head to toes, her eyes bulged after her one year's worth of realization. She's really slow.

"So we finally meet again" a smirk was evident on her lips as she walked towards me

"Honestly, I prayed I will never get to see you again, but here we are, I guess we were destined to meet" she was already a few inches away from me. What is the whore even saying.

"Well, I think we had the same prayer" I finally said folding my arms to look intimidating, she was about an inch shorter than me. I could literally stomp on this bitch.

"So since we both didn't get our prayers answered, why don't we hung out for a bit?" she said with an evil smile. She's even way childish than Liam.

"Look here little girl I really don't have the time for a chit chat, I came here to empty my bladder so will you excuse me" I said like the bigger person I was.

"Don't you want to know how Jax has been? " she taunted.

Balling my fist in anger, I paid no attention to her and continued to walk towards the toilet, before I could push the door open I felt a cold hand grab my wrist painfully

"Don't walk out on me bitch"

Buried rage surged through me and I immediately lost control and slammed my palms against her cheeks, it all happened in slow motion and she was already on the floor before I knew it.

I pushed open the door and rushed in

"How dare you fucking slap me" she screamed from the other side of the door, a second later she pushed open the door and I immediately slammed it close again effectively blocking her from entering, she pounded on the door like a mad woman and screamed out profanities.

"You're so crazy, I get why Jax dumped you now, have a very nice day hoe" she shouted for the last time before finally leaving.

I heaved out a sigh of relief and rested my back against the door, I slid down and sat on the cold tiled floors, burying my head into my hands.

"This is no doubt the worst day of my life" a commanding and velvety voice spoke out causing me to quickly look up.

I froze immediately our gazes locked.

Oh. my. God.
