A/n: I just felt like putting up a quick chapter. Okay so, first of all kitaqboom! No! No! No! Liara will not get pregnant. Haha I like the idea but that would mess everything up, I would explain it to you but that involves major spoilers (like how someone's gonna die) just a heads up. And no, it's not Miranda so don't get happy. WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE MIRANDA?! Someone please tell me! Me? Personally? I feel like she's a very...elegant girl. Well I guess you have a reason in this chapter but she's nice. Really, she is. Enjoy!

Liars was a mistake. Yes, she was a mistake that Shepard had made. Was it all just in the heat of the moment? It felt real though, the emotion, the caring way they touched each other, the way they kissed so tenderly and sweetly. It felt unbelievably good to Shepard and she wanted more, but that's what worried Shepard. What if it was all just lust? Or puppy love? Sure, when she saw liaras face her heart beats fast and on an occasion or two Shepard would listen to liara and actually would just be hearing her soothing voice and not the actual words. But that really didn't mean anything, it just means maybe...Shepard didn't know. But she knew she didn't love liara. Well, she did love her, but as a friend.(a/n I know, I know. This is dreadful, huh?) how would Shepard break it to liara? After what she told her last night. What was that anyway? Why did she say that anyway? She didn't love her?

"That's some tough shit Lola, I don't know how to help you there."

Shepard made a face. Not because of all the sweaty guys around her smelled up the weight room, but because whenever she had a problem James was always there to help, and yeah there was garrus but he wasn't ever any help, he would usually just give shit advice and make a stupid ass joke about the situation. So Shepard didn't even ask him, even though he looked as if he had something to say. Shepard let out a groan as she lifted the three hundred barbell back on to the rack. She panted, resting on the bench, looking up at her two friends that spotted her.

The blonde grimaced when she saw the smirk on Garrus's face. "Blow me."

The turian laughed, unfolding his arms. "What? I was just gonna say nice job."

Shepard stood up and almost snatched her towel away from vega, she wasn't mad at him, he had just been in her way. "Fuck you varikain. That's not what you were thinking."

"Okay what the hell are you talking about, Shepard?" Vega said oblivious as always.

Shepard wiped her brow with the white towel. "I'm just waiting for garrus to make a smart ass comment." She slung the towel around his neck. "Like always."

Garrus held his hands up in surrender, "I didn't say anything."

Shepard rolled her eyes, "Yet, you still have that shit-eating grin on your face."

James crossed his arms, "He's smirking? How the hell can you tell?"

"Fuck you vega." Garrus turned his atten back to Shepard. "You wanna know what I think, Shepard?"

Shepard shrugged, "Go right ahead. You always put your dollar and five cents in anyways."

"Okay. first of all. What the in hell Shepard? Liara really?" Garrus said getting a little louder with every word.

Shepard threw her hands up, "What! Come on garrus. What the fuck was I suppose do? Liaras is a sexy ass asari! What what I gonna say? Oh, liara I don't think that I like sexy ass asaris, please don't kiss me? She's sexy dont'cha think vega?"

"Oh she's beyond sexy. For a nerd, ya know?" Vega answered.

Shepard narrowed her eyes, "Don't talk about her like that. She's just insanely smart."

"And insanely nerdy, yeah." Vega repeated.

"Oh like Ashley's any better, she's like a fucking bottle of penis repellent." Shepard snapped back.

"Alright! Anyways! That's not what I mean, I'm talking about why would you hook up with her and you're dating Miranda?" Garrus chimed.

"Oh 'bout that...we broke up, sorta."

Vega smiled, "Again? What a shocker."

"Vega shut your fucking mouth, before I put something in Ashley's." Shepard fired.

"Woah Lola chill. I was just kidding. Can't you take a joke?" James said.

Garrus sighed, "Could you please shut up vega and stop changing the damn subject? I'm trying to help our friend."

"Fine." Vega shrugged.

"Alright then," garrus continued. "Why did you and Miranda break up?"

"She...she uh this is funny but coincidentally she thought I was cheating. With liara." Shepard said leaning her hot body against the cooler wall.

"And she was right, we-"

"No no no. She was wrong. AND she made a huge fucking scene in the hallway about it." Shepard explained.

Vega scoffed, "Okay so you supposedly broke up with Miranda, because she was right that you and little blue were fucking on the low, but you weren't fucking her you were just treating her like she was your girlfriend. Then you went to liaras house confessed your so-called love for her then, correct me if I'm wrong, fucked her? Damn you're fucked bastard."

Shepard gulped down her water, "Who said I fucked her, dick head?"

Vega chuckled, "Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me you didn't hit that?"

"It's..she's not like that." Shepard said pushing her bangs out of her face. Miranda was right she did need a hair cut. Her hair was almost passed shoulders, she wondered how short should she get it cut. she wondered would liara like it shorter, she noticed when they laid together last night she had an weird interest in it, she played in it, but it was too long to really do anything.

"Come on." Vega stepped closer with a smiled on his face, jabbing Shepard in stomach before she swatted him away. "The almighty Shepard just couldn't score with this one girl. Admit it."

"Score? What the hell do you mean score? Fuck off vega. She's not just a quick fuck, you know?" Shepard said.

James smiled, "Bam! I solved your problems. If she's not a quick fuck, you care about her, if you care about her you like her."

Shepard shook her head, opening her mouth to say something.

"He has a point Shepard." Garrus nodded.

"What? No. First, I can score so um fuck you. Secondly, I know I care about her, that's already been established."

Garrus mandibles twitched with humor, "If you can score why didn't you?" Years ago Shepard would've been surprised to hear him say "score" instead of have sex since then, he wasn't finials with human slang. Shepard obviously corrupted him.

"She didn't want to get pregnant." Shepard said nonchalantly.

Garrus smiled, "No. Asaris can control that. You're lying."

"Not if they're a virgin and don't know how jackass." Shepard said.

Vega held up his hands, "Hold the fuck up. She's a virgin and you still didn't fuck her?"

"Stop saying fuck her like she's just a damn dancer from omega." Shepard said, she was getting tired of vega really fast.

"Why not? That's where all asari end up anyway." James joked.

"You know you're really starting to piss me off." Shepard growled. "She's not a pussy. I...I don't just want to fuck her, okay?! I want to..."

"Chill Lola." James placed a hand on shepard's shoulder, "You love her. I was just trying to get you to see that, I didn't mean any of it."

Shepard sighed, "You're a real unorthodox fuck." Shepard smiled, "Thanks vega, it's just hard to understand how love can change so suddenly."

Garrus cleared his throat.

Shepard laughed, "You too garrus. Thanks. I mean it."

"Alright." Vega slapped Shepard slightly. "Cut the sappy shit. Let's get back to work."

Shepard hugged vega and waved to garrus. "Nah, I think we need to end this with a big, long, sweaty, group hug. Bring it in garrus."

"Lola. Get the hell off me."

Cloud nine. That's where liara had been for the past eleven hours, twenty-three minutes, thirty seconds and five nano seconds in counting. And she was definitely counting. Was it obsessive? Yeah, a little. But liara was an obsessive person. Everything was a finally going her way, she was happy. She skipped down the stairs when the door bell rung throughout the house. Maybe it was Shepard she hoped it was Shepard. Hopefully to ask her on date or somewhere romantic. Or they could just go on a car ride and talk or go camping, she didn't care what they were doing, as long as Shepard was there making her smile.

Liara passed by a mirror, backing up to make sure she looked alright. She make sure the skirt she had recently purchased for a special occasion, like for a party or... For something she would show Shepard in private. That is if she had the confidence. The black leather mini skirt had came with a top, it was like a tank to but opened at the navel and up to the middle of her stomach. Of course her mother would immediately tell her to change, but luckily she wasn't here. She checked her make up next, of course Shepard would say she didn't need it but tali suggested that maybe if she wore a little anyways Shepard would be even more attracted to her. And liara had to say the pure white lipstick she work did bring out her blue eyes.

The doorbell rung for a second time. Liara smiled when she remembered Shepard was here.

"Coming!" She yelled cheerfully.

She basically skipped towards the door, opening it with a big smile, but it had disappeared as soon as she recognized the face. She was met with a pair of icy blue eyes, that were staring daggers at her, but they quickly softened. Something about that didn't seem right, liara didn't know to shut the door and run or invite her in.

"Miranda, how unexpected." Liara began. "Is there something you need?"

"Is Shepard here?" She deadpanned.

"Um..no-"

"Liara, is it? I can trust you can't I?" Miranda said.

"I sup-"

"Great, so you will tell me if you and Shepard had sex." Miranda interrupted.

"What? No!" Liara exclaimed.

"Did you do anything romantic with her?" Miranda searched liaras face. "And don't lie, I'll know."

Okay. Worst case scenario, Miranda will try to fight her. But liara figured she could beat Miranda, sure Miranda was pretty powerful and was highly trained thanks to her father, but liara was way stronger than her even with her training.

"Well...yes. But you are broken up, are you not?" Liara admitted.

"I knew it! I knew she..." Miranda eyes filled with tears, but she blinked them away. "That's alright...Addison will never date you. Whatever she told you, she was lying. Really think about it why the hell would she want you?"

Liara wanted to cry, because half of her believed everything Miranda had said.

"F-Fuck you." Liara slammed the door in her face.
