The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window (22 page)

We walked out of my bedroom a little after seven
thirty. Liam pushed me onto one of the kitchen stools, grinning to
himself like the cat that got the cream. “Hey, I get to make you
breakfast without getting shouted at today,” he chirped.

I laughed and
watched
as he made me a bowl of cereal;
he smiled and put it in front of me, before making some toast for
himself. “You don’t eat cereal?” I asked, watching him scoff four
slices of toast.

He shook his
head
, turning his nose up. “I don’t like
cereal; it’s gross and all soggy.” He faked a shudder, pretending
to gag.

I laughed
again
. “You really are weird, Liam,” I
teased, smiling at him.

He grinned.
“You know, it’s kind of weird, you being all nice to me over
breakfast.”

“
I could be
mean to you if you want,” I offered,
shrugging.

He laughed
and shook his head. “No. I’ll get used to it eventually.” He walked
over to my side. I turned to look at him and he brushed my hair
behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my cheek, making me blush.
“You really are the most beautiful thing in the world,” he
murmured. My heart skipped a beat at the honesty in his voice, his
blue eyes were burning into mine, making me feel like the only girl
in the world.

“
Cut that
crap out! I might have given my blessing but I don’t need it shoved
in my face over breakfast
,” Jake growled
as he walked into the kitchen to make some cereal. He slapped Liam
on the back of the head on the way past as usual.

We all
laughed and Liam stepped behind me
,
wrapping his arms around my waist, leaning his head on my shoulder.
“Thanks, Jake. I know you said stay away but…” Liam trailed off,
looking at my brother gratefully.

“
Whatever,
Liam. We’re fine. Just don’t make us have a problem, OK,” Jake
replied, smiling a friendly smile.

Liam’s arms
tightened around me. “I won’t.” He kissed my shoulder lightly and
Jake fake gagged, making me laugh.

“
Well
, come on then, lovebirds, I
suppose you need to get to school a little earlier so that you can
announce you’re together,” Jake stated, rolling his
eyes.

Li
am grinned and nodded. I gasped
and shook my head fiercely. “No way! We can’t do that,” I said,
looking at Liam. He looked really hurt for some reason.

“
Why not?” he
asked, taking my hand
, and looking a
little confused.

I glanced at
Jake;
he really wasn't going to like
this. “Er, well, I sort of have a bet going on. The next one to
sleep with you will win the pot. I could really use that money.” I
looked at Liam uncomfortably, but he just started to laugh
hysterically.

Jake almost
choked on his drink. “No way! You can’t do that!” he cried, shaking
his head violently. “I don’t want to know that you two are having
sex. I don’t!”

I laughed at
his annoyed and disgusted face. “Jake, we’re not having sex.” I
shrugged, making his face relax a little. “But when we do, I
definitely want to win the pot. I won’t if people know I’m his
girlfriend already.” I looked at Liam, unsure if he would go along
with this or not.

“
Angel, I
don’t want you to want to be with me for some bet.” He
frowned,
looking a little
hurt.

I smiled
seductively at him. “You think that’s the reason I’m going to want
to have sex with you? Trust me, lover boy; it won’t be to do with
the money, that’ll just a perk.”

He
le
ant in and put his mouth to my ear. “So
what will be the reason?” he breathed, sending a shiver down my
spine.

I bit my lip.
“Hmm, I’m not sure but it’ll have something to do with you begging
me on your knees,” I teased, smirking at him.

He laughed
and kissed me, pulling me close to his body, sending ripples of
desir
e racing through my bloodstream. He
pulled away to look at me, lust written clear across his face. “I’d
happily beg you right now you know.”

I patted his
chest and stepped away before I dragged him back to my bedroom and
ripped his sexy ass jeans and black button down shirt off his
flawless
body. “Oh I know, lover boy.” I
laughed, trying to catch my breath.

I glanced at
Jake who was staring at us eyes wide, his mo
uth hanging open in shock. “Guys, I seriously can’t take
these PDA’s,” he said, grimacing and shaking his head.

“
It’s OK, the
PDA’s done. I just think we should keep this quiet for a little
while. Why not make a little money for doing something that would
happen eventually anyway? That’s how I look at it,” I said,
shrugging.

Liam
and Jake looked at each other. “I guess. But
will you be able to win? I mean, was the bet to make me break up
with my girlfriend or something?” Liam asked, frowning.

I giggled and
shook my head
. “Nope, I made sure of
that. It’s definitely just the next one to
nail
you, as they so
eloquently put it.”

Liam shook his head, looking a little
disgusted. “I can’t believe girls do that sort of thing.”

Jake laughed.
“You know what? I think I might announce that I’ve got a girlfriend
next. Then I can just pick someone and we can split the money,” he
said brightly, as if he was serious.

Liam grabbed
my hand
and pulled me towards the door.
“Come on, let’s get to school before you brother has any other
bright ideas.” He laughed, shaking his head at Jake.

Liam winked
at me in the mirror as we pulled into the parking
lot
. There were more girls than usual
waiting for them. They all made a beeline for Liam as soon as his
door opened. Jessica, as usual, was at the front.

I
laughed
. “Good luck, boyfriend,” I
teased, winking at him as I walked off, swaying my ass on purpose.
I knew he was watching me. When I got to the door I glanced back
over my shoulder to see him pulling a girl’s arms off of him, a
distasteful expression on his face. He must have had about
twenty-five girls round him, he looked extremely pissed off. I
laughed and went to find my friends; as usual, they were hanging
out by our lockers.

“
Hey
, guys,” I chirped, as I got
up to them.

“
Wow,
someone’s in a good mood today! Any particular reason?” Sean
asked,
looking confused at my happy
face.

“
Nope, no
reason in particular. I just watc
hed Liam
getting hounded by like twenty-five girls. He looks really annoyed
about it, that was pretty funny,” I explained, grinning wildly.
Just then he walked past me with Jake. He had a girl flirting with
him on either side, and about another ten walking behind him. I
burst out laughing and he shot me a dark look, making me laugh
harder.

“
I’m not
surprised h
e has all those girls after
him. Do you know how much the pot is now?” Kate asked, smirking at
me.

I
nodded
. “Yeah I know, Sarah told me it’s
like eighteen hundred dollars or something. I can’t believe it.” I
shook my head disapprovingly, and tried not to imagine what it
would feel like to win that much money.

Kate, Sarah
and Sean exchanged a loo
k, before
bursting into laughter. “No, that was yesterday’s total. Today it’s
up to four thousand two hundred,” Kate said. I felt the colour
drain from my face as my heart sank. Holy crap! That’s like, oh God
I can’t even work it out! Like two hundred girls, all wanting to
sleep with
my
boyfriend!

“
Oh my God!
Really?” I asked
as I swallowed the lump
that was rapidly forming in my throat. The thought of all those
girls throwing themselves at my boy, literally made me feel a
little ill. Kate nodded and looked a little sympathetic; as if she
knew what I was thinking. Sarah and Sean just looked excited
because they obviously had no idea I was with Liam. Luckily, the
bell rang, so we all made our way to class.

At lunchtime I decided I would start making my play
for Liam. People needed to at least see that I was trying. I
couldn’t just announce that I had slept with him, so I needed
people to see me putting in the effort. I hadn’t talked it through
with Liam, but a little harmless flirting over lunch shouldn't be
too hard. As I carried my tray of food across the lunchroom to our
usual table, I turned to my friends.

“
Guys, I’m
going to go make my
play for Liam for the
bet. Let’s go sit with my brother today, OK?”

Kate gave me
a knowing look and winked at me and we all
walked over to the jock table. The jock table was almost
full of girls, all of them flirting shamelessly with Liam. I smiled
at his expression; he looked even more pissed off now than earlier.
I looked at the girl sitting next to Liam; she’d finished her lunch
and was staring at him intently, a flirty expression on her
face.

“
Hey, Sally.
I just heard that someone hit your car in the parking lot, was
there much damage?” I asked innocently.

She gasped
and jumped up
. “Shit! That’s my mom’s
car!” she cried, as she turned and ran off. I heard my friends
burst into laughter behind me as they took seats further down the
table.

“
Hi, Liam.” I
smiled at him as I plopped down in the chair next to
his
.

“
Hey,
Angel,
” he replied, grinning at me. I
looked around to see I was getting the death glares from all the
girls nearby, obviously because I had earned a smile already.
“Someone hit Sally’s car?” he asked, eating his tuna
sandwich.

I shrugged
and shook my head.
“Nah. I just said that
because I wanted to sit here.”

He burst into
laughter. “I knew you wanted me,” he teased, winking at
me.

“
Well
, who doesn’t,” I answered,
smirking and looking around the table at the girls who were all
trying to kill me with their eyes. I grabbed my bottle of water and
pretended to try to open it. “Liam, can you open this for me?” I
asked, pouting slightly.

“
Angel, if
you keep pouting, the wind will change and you’ll get stuck like
that,” he joked, grinning and taking my bottle from me. He opened
it easily and
passed it back.

“
Thanks.” I
smiled,
ignoring his remark. “Wow, I
never realised how strong you are. You must work out a lot, huh?” I
purred, trailing my finger down his bicep, biting on my lip
seductively. He looked at me lustfully, his eyes fixed on my mouth.
Just from the pained expression on his face, I could tell he wanted
to kiss me. He didn’t answer. “So? Do you work out a lot? Because
you must do, I mean, your body it's, mmm….” I trailed off, looking
him over slowly.

He gulped.
“Er, I guess, yeah a bit,” he muttered, still looking at me a
little shocked and bewildered.

I didn’t want
this to go too far, I was only setting the scene
for my victory at the moment. I broke eye contact and
started to eat my food, slowly, letting the fork linger in my mouth
longer than necessary. “Oh God,” I moaned, closing my eyes chewing
slowly. “This is so good,” I breathed. I heard him moan slightly
next to me and I knew my sex noises were getting to him. I looked
over at him. “Liam, you should try this,” I purred seductively. He
had a pained look across his face as he stared at me with his mouth
slightly open. He shook his head slightly, as if trying to push a
thought away and I swallowed my giggle. Oh crap, he is so going to
make me pay for this later.

“
Er, OK
yeah,” he said. I smiled and grabbed a forkful of my pasta and
guided it to his mouth to feed him.

A bit of the
pasta fell off the fork onto his jeans. “Oops, I’m so sorry!”
I
winced, looking at him
apologetically.

“
Don’t worry
about it, Angel.” He smiled and brushed it o
ff with his hand.

OK, I could
make this work to my advantage! I grabbed a napkin and wiped his
jeans with it. It was on his mid-thigh so I made sure to wipe just
a little higher, as I looked up at him through my eyelashes. I
heard him gulp noisily as a slight bulge started to appear in his
jeans which he quickly covered with his arm.

“
There. All
done,” I flirted.

“
Er….
thanks,” he muttered, closing his eyes and sighing.

I grinned
triumphantly. Hah! Take that, girls! I looked around the table to
see they were all staring at me. Either a shocked or angry
expression was plastered on every female face. I giggled, and
winked at Jessica who had turned red with annoyance.

“
I
’d better go. I’ve got to speak
to Mrs Francis about my science project,” I said, getting up and
smiling broadly.

Liam grabbed
my hand and pulled me back to the seat. “What was that about?” he
asked, looking slightly
confused.
