What A Dinner

Silence floated in the air, the atmosphere was tense and awkward. Only the clacking of spoon on a plate was hearable.

One could have called this a comfortable and peaceful dinner but only one of them seemed comfortable and relaxed. While the other was holding back and stiff, discomfort and reluctance could be clearly seen in her actions.

"Why are you not eating?"

She was startled by the sound of his voice.

"Mmmm nothing." She mumbled in a low tone.

"Fine then eat up."

His words made her look up at him, her brows were raised in question. Her mind was wondering what on earth she was doing here and why he asked her to have dinner with him when his family are downstairs having theirs. She was starting to think the is something wrong with him somewhere, so to confirm her doubts.

"Young Master?" She called out.

He gave no reply but Vionna knew that he was listening, so she continued.

"Is the anything bothering you?" She asked after much hesitation.

Liam raised his gaze to her and held hers for some seconds before he replied. "And why did you ask that?"

"Don't get me wrong, it was just a question." She muttered waving her hands so he won't misunderstand her.

"Same as mine." He stated.

Vionna was choked in her words, now what is going to be the reason which she would tell him.

"Ermmmm Young Master.... it's. let's just forget about it." She said after trying hard to come up with excuses but ended up with futility.

Liam let it slide after giving her a long undecipherable stare. He continued his meal.

"Eat up, you won't like it when it gets cold." He told her while he ate his.

Now she was shocked, she was questioning herself. 'Is it me? or he is suddenly being caring towards me.' She shook her head roughly. 'No that Can't be, it isn't possible.' She instantly denied the thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Now it was his turn to ask her. But little did he know the question only brought more conflict to her already conflicted mind.

"Nothing, it was just a fly." She made up an excuse more faster this time.

He nodded.

The room instantly regained it's one sided comfortable silence—For Liam.

The untouched meal that was Infront of her made her feel hungry after all the thinking and thoughts. She slowly started eating but her mind was nowhere near her, it had long travelled away from her body.

The crumbs of food were skittered all over her lips, and it was to her ignorance and unawares. This was giving someone else a hard time.

Liam subconsciously licked his lower lip when his eyes got grazed with such sweet view. He felt something undescribable move in the pit of his stomach. His eyes were glued on her plumb sweetness, instinctively he felt like he wanted to wipe them off with his tongue, but he recalled he doesn't have a reason to do so, neither is he in a position to do such.

But to hell with everything. He slowly stood and stretched himself towards her.

Vionna was still caged up inside her almost thought swirling mind, thinking of who knows what. Suddenly she was interrupted when she saw a huge shadow. She took her gaze up and was startled to see the Young Master edging so close to her.

She instinctively started moving backwards, bit by bit. A step closer for him, is a step backwards for her.

When she reached the extreme of the seat, she paused with her heart in her throat, anticipating what his move is. 'I knew this was going to be a bad idea.' She said to herself.

"You...you..what are you doing?"

His only response was to inch closer and closer, till he finally came eyes to eyes with her and of course lips to lips too.

Vionna's breathing had long stopped even without her knowing, her eyes were widely stretched, more; she had nowhere to run to.

She was trapped by his hands on the chair and his body so Damn close to her, one move and she's gonna land right on him.

His face was dangerously close to hers that she was scared of breathing, then to talk of moving a muscle.

So she closed her eye tight, awaiting what ever want to happen to take place.

She waited with closed eyes. One second, two seconds, three seconds, but nothing happened. Just when she was about to pop her eyes open, she felt a light brush against her lips, she immediately flung her eyes open.

When she did, his gaze went to hers and were locked.
