Chapter 8

Liam "Liam!" Ethan called interrupting my thoughts. "What?" I said, getting up groggily. "Your mum is asking if we are spending the night here," he said. "No Ma, we aren't," I said, rolling over away from the light coming in from the windows. "Will you be coming tomorrow then?" My mum asked. "No Ma, we're leaving tomorrow morning," "Okay then," "You are joining me in New York City soon," I said and she nodded. "I know that," "Isabella!" I called and my sister came out from the kitchen "I'll send someone to help you guys pack, you should be in New York City in two weeks, okay?" "Okay bro," she said. "Alright, we are leaving now, take care of Ma," I said and she nodded, I kissed my mum on her cheek and she blessed us before we left. "Spit it," Ethan said the moment we entered the car. "Spit what?" I asked, confused. "Don't give me that Liam, you've been absent-minded throughout! Your body is here but your mind isn't, I had to call you more than once before you realized I was calling you, tell me, bro, what's going on?" "Nothing," I replied "Nothing?, It is not like you have a terminal illness do you? If you do, leave your properties to me I'll take care of your mum and your sister," he said and I glared at him. "Come on, this is not normal at all, tell me what is wrong so I can know what to do to help," he said and I shook my head. "Nothing is wrong Ethan and you can't help, now tell me, any news regarding The Divinity Garden project?" I asked and Ethan looked at me like I was delusional. "What?" "Liam!, You are telling me you are fine but I'm not sure you are, I told you this morning that they sent a mail saying they'd send representatives to New York City so that we can sign the contract," he said and I mouthed an 'oh', I could see him opening his mouth to probably ask me what is wrong so I spoke before he could. "That's good then, we just need to get Pablo's contract and the company would practically be untouchable," I said and I nodded, Pablo's company is the number one country in North America and a contract from his country is just what my company needs to be untouchable. I tried to focus but my thoughts left the company and moved back to Laura Davis, I'd been spacing out because of her, thinking of her, probably because I didn't get enough of her yesterday, I was intending on talking things through with her, maybe offer her something and then maybe she'd allow me to love her body once again this morning but then when I woke up, I woke up alone, she was not there, the only evidence she left was the blood-stained bedsheet. I went to the counter and tried to describe her but I was told the person on duty at that moment left and someone else took over the shift. Ever since then I'd been unable to get her out of my head, her brown eyes, her soft brown hair, and her full lips. I was convinced that I didn't get enough and I needed to get her back in bed for a rematch. That seemed a reasonable conclusion but it didn't help get her out of my thoughts. I went straight to my room when we got to the hotel ignoring Ethan's probing, I was not planning on telling him anything. I barely slept that night, I kept dreaming of how it felt to drown in her bright whiskey eyes. The next morning we flew out of Canada and we were back in New York City hours later, we had to go to the company to sort things out, and then together with Ethan I went to check the house I thought my mum and my sister would be the most comfortable in. After checking and confirming that everything would be to their liking, we left the house, on our way to my place I saw someone with brown hair and wearing a gown similar to the one I took off Laura Davis. I told the driver to stop the car immediately then I got out and ran after the lady. I got to her in no time and I grabbed her hand, the person turned around looking positively livid, but when she saw who it was her mouth dropped open in surprise, unfortunately, she was not the one I was hoping to see, her hair and dress only looked like Laura's but she looked nothing like her. I released her and turned quietly to walk away but she grabbed my hand. "You are Liam Miller, aren't you?" She asked and I removed my hand from hers trying to leave but she grabbed my hand again. "Sorry ma'am, you got the wrong person," Ethan said removing my hand from hers and I walked away, I could hear her insisting I was the one. I entered the car and waited for Ethan, he came back a few minutes later and the driver drove us to my house. "You best start talking," Ethan said the moment we entered the house. "About what?" I asked gruffly. "Liam!, What was that all about? Tell me the truth," he said glaring at me, I considered not telling him but I knew Ethan, after what happened earlier he would have my head if I don't tell him the truth. "What do you want to know?" I asked settling on the couch. "Why did you run after that lady? Why have you been spacing out?" He asked sitting on the couch too. "That night at the club, I met a lady, one thing led to another and we had a one night stand, I found out she is was still untouched and..." "Untouched?" Ethan asked cutting me off "Yeah, never been with a man that way," "Oh," he said, his eyebrows hitting the roof. "I was planning on talking things out with her in the morning, but when I woke up she was gone," "Good for you, you won't have to deal with talking to her and all," "Exactly!" I yelled. "It should be good for me, but you see Ethan, I can't get her out of my head, I need her back in that bed, I want to have her again! Look, different thoughts have been going through my head, why did she leave without talking? Didn't I satisfy her enough?, How can I get back in bed? That lady I grabbed earlier looked like her, I was thinking I saw someone I met in Canada here in New York City, can't you see!" "Um, so you are smitten?" He asked making me want to puke. "What? No!" "You sound like you are," "No!, What I want is to have her back in bed," "So you are planning on finding her?" "Yes, but how?" "Just text someone in Canada to find her for you, give them descriptions," he said shrugging "Wait! Why didn't I think of this?" "Um because you are dumb?" He said and I threw a pillow at him. I picked up my phone and I texted one of my associates, I gave him her name and her description knowing fully well he would find her and I would be having her again and again till I'm satisfied. "Maria!, Bring me a glass of juice!"
