My mother's SON-IN-LAW

Chapter 14: MR WALKER OR MR CAMPBELL

....

In the cafe...

When Alicia walked into the cafe again, she could not ascertain the gaze Liam kept on her. She felt a little uncomfortable by the amount of attention he kept giving her without consent, not to mention the fact that Cyrus was still keeping an eye on their table.

"You know staring at someone is considered rude right?" asked Alicia the moment she took her seat, Liam just couldn't give her a break.

"You are a beautiful miss Adams, why do you have to bicker with me every time you lay your eyes on mine?" Liam answered with a smile. He enjoyed the way Alicia could banter with him at every chance she gets.

Alicia almost spilled her drink from his words as she looked him with a shocked expression and said, "That has to be thee worst compliment I've gotten in my entire life." Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

A smile then escaped her lips and she continued with, "But I agree with the notion that I bicker with you constantly. You have a very irritable face Mr Walker I can't help it."

Liam laughed audibly at Alicia's words and answered her with, "You might be right miss Adams, as the only woman who has a chance to comment on my face thus far."

He wanted to notice every change there were on Alicia's face knowing that his words might make her curious about him.

Yet Alicia smiled slightly and said, "It certainly is colder than most have had to chance to admire. Forgive me if I offend you Mr Liam."

Liam looked at her emotionless face with a blank face until he noticed the twinkle in her eyes every time she took a sip of her drink. She looked ecstatic every time she took one, it was both refreshing and weird for him to experience.

As if knowing the situation Cyrus looked up from the counter and his eyes locked at the sight of Alicia's eyes which had unrestrained happiness from her chocolate filled drink. It was good think that she had allowed herself to ONLY drink it once a week, specifically on Saturdays. It makes her very childish at times.

The moment Cyrus took his eyes off Alicia's image, he spotted the gaze Liam kept on Alicia as well. It was both alarming for him and annoying at the same time. Liam never picks easy targets to pick on, he gets easily bored of people who aren't at his level of smartness, yet Alicia can be both naive and a smart-ass when she intends too. One thing which Liam might not have noticed is how Alicia can both seek a man's attention and deviate such a man's attention as well.

It would be interesting to see where the relationship from them would lead them.
