Well here is another update! I wrote it after I posted yesterdays update and I thought I should update again since it took awhile for yesterdays update. I am going on vacation on Wednesday so I will probably update Tuesday and possibly during the next week. Well, I hope you like this chapter!
Liam nodded his head, "Come in."
Erin hesitated but she walked in behind Liam, and he began talking to her again, "There is only one bedroom, so you can take the bed and I'll take the couch."
"You don't have to do that…" Erin didn't want to owe him a favor.
He shrugged, "Look Erin, I may be an asshole, but I'm not a savage. Just take the bed."
Erin nodded and followed him into the bedroom, "What do you need to me to do in order to prove to you this is legit?" She wanted to get whatever it was over with.
Liam shrugged, "I don't know yet. I just like having you back. I missed you."
Erin nodded. In some weird way she missed him too, but she would never tell him that.
Liam sighed, "It's late. You're probably tired."
Erin looked at the clock on his bedside table, it was already 11 at night. She didn't think it was that late. Her adrenaline was running and she was ready to go.
"I'll just grab a blanket and go out to the couch. If I knew you were coming I would have put clean sheets in, I can just do that tomorrow, uh, well goodnight." Liam went to his closet to get a blanket. Erin knew she had to get on his good side.
"You can just sleep with me." Erin blurted out. She sounded nervous and unsure. She hoped Liam didn't notice.
"Erin-"
"Seriously. In a new place I have nightmares, you know that." She was playing on his emotions from the past. She thought back to the past for a minute. She and Liam were always together, this was after Charlie of course, but they were in love, but they were always on the run. She was running from Voight and he was running from…something. She never found out what Liam was running from. Whenever they went somewhere new she would have nightmares about something happening to them. Something bad, like Liam leaving her or Voight taking her away from Liam.
Liam nodded at her, "Alright, but only because you asked."
Erin nodded, "Where's your bathroom?"
"Down the hall to the left."
Erin nodded and took sweatpants out of her bag to change into. She also grabbed her work phone to bring with her. She needed to text Voight to let him know that she was okay. She walked down the hall. His apartment was pretty nice and there was no sign of drugs or anything illegal going on, but she knew that appearances weren't everything. She locked the door behind her and pulled her jeans off and put her sweatpants on. She quickly texted Voight that she was in and there wasn't anything illegal that she could tell yet, but she would keep looking. She flushed the toilet to make it seem like it was normal that she was taking so long. She washed her hands too, just to sell it. She walked out of the bathroom and down to the bedroom and Liam was on the phone in the room across the hall, what was that room? The door was slightly closed but she put her ear up to the door.
"I can't. I have someone here."
"Who? It doesn't concern you, so don't worry about it."
"No, not now."
"It isn't the time."
"I actually love this girl. Leave her alone or I will not hesitate to kill you."
Erin quickly went into Liam's bedroom and put her phone into her bag under all of her other things. She would have to buy new clothes soon because she only brought a weeks worth of stuff, and from the look of it she would be around a little longer.
Liam walked in a little while after and Erin was just sitting on the side of the bed; Liam let out a laugh, "You can get in the bed."
Erin smiled, "Right." Liam pulled down the covers and Erin got in after she saw Liam getting in.
"I can leave if you want me to." Liam began to get up.
Erin grabbed his arm, "Don't."
Liam laid back down and faced Erin. Erin could feel her heart pumping; she hoped Liam couldn't hear it. She got closer and closer to Liam until her lips touched his. She didn't think she would have kissed him, but all her old feelings were coming back. Liam pulled away almost immediately.
"No, Erin."
She shook her head, "Sorry…I just- why?"
"Why what?" Liam questioned her.
"Why wont you do this?"
He shrugged, "Because I don't want to take advantage of you."
"You wouldn't be taking advantage of me."
He nodded, "Yeah, I would be. Clearly something shitty must have happened and I haven't asked what yet, but I will. It must have been something bad if it made you come to me. What did Voight kick you out or something?"
Erin shook her head, "I will tell you. But I just need a distraction right now."
"I've been your distraction for three weeks."
"I know, why can't you do it now? You came over almost all the time, why is this so different?"
"We never went this far. You always talked about Voight and how much you loved him yet hated him. You told me everything, Erin. I am not going to take you down a bad path."
"Then why were you threatening me at the station? You were going to tell Voight everything."
He nodded, "I should."
Erin got out of the bed as fast as she could and ran down the hallway into the bathroom. She locked the door behind her and slid to the ground. She shook her head; she shouldn't have come here. She should have listened to Voight. She heard a knock at the bathroom door.
"Erin please, come out."
"No."
Liam knocked one more time. Erin moved away from the door as she heard Liam trying to unlock it. She stood up ready to make a run for it when Liam came in. Liam came in and before she could get away he wrapped one if his arms around her waist and cupped her face with his other hand and kissed her. Erin could get used to this.
