Chapter 7

 Evening time, Liam got back from work. He was really exhausted, his tie was halfway loosed, his shirt was wet from sweats. He barely entered the house when he fell on a couch, "Bring me a glass of water", he asked one of the maids.

 He was given the water, and he finished it in a gulp. "I'm going up to sleep, I'm really exhausted", he said to Aurora.

 "Shower before you sleep, okay?"

 "Sure, I will", he answered.

 He went up and showered. He was laying on his bed, about to sleep, when Aurora knocked on his door.

 "Come in, the door is unlocked", he said

 She came in and he looked surprised.

 "Do you need anything??", he asked.

 "No, not really", she replied.

 "Okay", he said, yawning.

 "Can I spend the night in your room??", she asked.

 "Huh??", Liam asked, surprisingly.

 "What??", she asked.

 "Nothing, it's just surprising that you want to spend the night here"

 "I don't know, it's kinda lonely in my room, so I thought of staying in your room", she replied. "Or do you mind??", she asked.

"No, I don't", he answered.

He adjusted and made space for her on his bed. She laid on the bed and faced Liam, asking him some questions.

"So, how was work today??"

"It was exhausting", he replied. "Nothing really, just office works"

"Oh, nothing fun happened", she asked.

"Nah", he replied. "Why are you so interested about my day??", he asked.

"I already told you, I was bored, and I actually want us to be friends", she answered

"Hm"

"You seem uninterested, I'll just sleep", she said.

She turned over, facing the wall while her back was facing Liam. Liam sensed that she was annoyed, he placed his hands on her waist, she didn't move.

"You mad at me??", he asked.

"No"

He gently runs his hand up and down her waist. She blushed, but he didn't notice.

She fell asleep, while Liam was still rubbing her waist.

"Are you asleep??", he asked but got no response. "Aurora??", she mumbled a yes.

He fell asleep no longer after that.

The next morning, Aurora had already gotten up early. She had made breakfast for Liam before he goes to work. She sat on a couch in his room and waited for him to be awake.

Liam yawned, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Good morning", Aurora said to him with a wide smile

"Good morning", he said, raising an eyebrow.

"Stand up and shower. I'd already make breakfast for you. It's in the dining room", she replied, maintaining the smile.

"You made me breakfast??", he asked.

"Yes", she replied.

He got up and went to have his bath. He came out with a towel around his waist and water dripping from his hair. Aurora kept staring at his defined abs and well-structured biceps.

"What are you staring at??", he asked.

"No...nothing. Get dressed and meet me downstairs", she replied as she walked out of his room.

He dressed up and went to eat his breakfast. "Thank you", he said.

"For what??", she asked.

"The breakfast of course?"

"Oh, it's nothing", she replied.

He cleared up his plate and got up to go to work. He called out one of the servants to bring his suitcase. He took his suitcase and left the house, kissing Aurora on her forehead. She smiled and walked up the stairs.
