Chapter 3
*~*~*~ Liam's POV
I jumped slightly as my phone vibrated in my pocket, my face almost split in two with a smile when I saw who it was from. I really liked talking with Aaron tonight. The guys couldn't resist a dig though. We all lived together in a small flat in the centre of Robblesfield. They made jokes about how they weren't expecting me home, about how I was like a lovesick puppy over a guy that I had just met. He told me he thought I was mysterious…yet after what he told me tonight, I'm thinking the other way around. There's something dark about him I guess. Something quite….sexy, really. I didn't want to text him back, he was probably asleep, I'd text him in the morning. I knew one thing was for sure, though, I wasn't sleeping tonight. I just couldn't get him out of my head. I couldn't stop thinking about him…I couldn't stop myself falling for him.
eeeeeee
*~*~*~ Aaron's POV
I groaned as a loud beeping sound filled my ears, my hangover was truly kicking in. I hadn't dreamt of anyone but Liam. I stretched over to grab my phone, the bright lights hurting my eyes in the darkness of my bedroom. I smiled when I saw the name on the screen and opened the message.
"Hey, It's Liam, Hope I haven't woke you up. I can't wait to see you either. I actually don't want to wait long. Bar West tonight 8pm? Xx"
I smiled again and text him back, agreeing to the meet. I was in a great mood, and knew I was going to get a hell of a lot of stick for it at work.
I got to work earlier than usual…first comment of the day, came from Ryan.
"Cain! Cain! You better come out here! You are going to freak when you see this! Aaron's actually on time for his shift!"
"Oh shut up!" I laughed, pulling on my overalls.
"AND he's in a good mood! You blatantly pulled last night, didn't you Livesy?" Ryan asked.
"Maybe." I grinned.
"Name, age, details…"
"Bloody hell Ryan! You don't miss a thing do you?" I sighed as he looked at me, begging for answers.. Sighing again, "His name's Liam, He's 21 and he's Australian. He was there last night as part of that "Unsigned Bands" gig. He looks like a blonde version of Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach. Happy?" I asked, not wanting to give away anything else. Actually, come to think of it, that was all I knew about him.
"What's his band called then?" Ryan asked, unconvinced
"Toxic Annihilation" I replied, working on a Nissan Micra
"Toxic what? No way Livesy, you're lying to me!" Ryan laughed "An Australian in Emmerdale?"
"Robblesfield, actually" I replied, flicking him the "V" sign.
"You're lying to me!"
"Oh yeah? Well I'm seeing him tonight, and I'll take his picture then we'll see who's lying, Grease Monkey!"
"You can get a picture from anywhere of a bloke looking like that!"
"I'm telling you he's real!" I laughed
"Yeah….Course he is!"
eeeee
~*~*~ Bar West
~*~*~* Liam's POV
I walked into the bar and instantly saw him. I made my way over and slipped into the seat next to him. "You been waiting long?" I asked
"No not long. I got you a drink. Here."
"How are you anyway?" I asked
"I'm ok. One of the lads I work with, Ryan, he kinda interrogated me this morning."
"How do you mean?"
"You wearing eyeliner?" he asked.
"Yeah, I always do. Why? Do you not like it?"
"I love it." he replied, seductively
"What were you saying about your friend?" I smiled, dipping my head so Aaron couldn't see the blush.
"Ok, basically, I was in a really good mood this morning, which is rarer than an eclipse, I will admit. He knew I came here last night, put two and two together and demanded details."
"Oh. Did you tell him?"
"Course I did. He thinks you're imaginary."
"Looks like I'll have to meet this Ryan bloke then doesn't it? If you're ok with that?"
"Yeah, That would be good. Certainly wipe the smirk off his face anyway"
A guy approached the table, standing behind Aaron, he looked at me and smiled. "Alright gorgeous, Need some help getting out of those wet clothes?" he winked
I looked at him in disbelief "My clothes aren't wet."
"That can be arranged, sweetheart." he smiled. I was about to tell him to get lost, when Aaron stood up and faced him. "Want some ice for that black eye?" he asked
The man looked at Aaron, and almost like a role reversal, he replied with "I haven't got a black eye"
"Yeah? Well that can be arranged, sweet cheeks. Do one." Aaron smiled, sitting down next to me. "Sorry" he smiled
"Don't be" I laughed. "You certainly showed him! I'll just nip to the loo. Wont be long" I smiled, planting a kiss on Aaron's cheek. He seemed stunned, kind of annoyed at what I did. I walked away to the toilets cursing myself. What the hell had I just done? Had I just ruined pretty much everything?
