Chapter 50
âCool? Just that?â He teased, bumping her nose lightly with his thumb
She mumbled some incoherent words he couldnât quite make any sense of He closed the door behind him and laid her gently on the bed. Her eyes fluttered open immediately and she locked disoriented for a moment before her eyes settled on him
âWhen did you get back?â She asked softly
âMinutes ago of course, I couldnât leave you there app by yourself, could 17 He teased, winking at her.
She smiledHave you had dinner? He kissed her on the forehead.
*Not yet, but I know what I would like to have for dinner His tone was suggestive and Carla blushed at the realization of what he meant but chose to ignore it
âAre you hungry? âShe asked instead.
âVery He whispered, his eyes dancing in the lights.
*Then go make some sandwich, Iâm afraid I didnât cook, I was damn tired âShe said in an apologetic tone
He kissed the tip of her nose âItâs fine baby, I wonât die of hunger overnight so go on and sleepâ
âReally? She asked drowsily and slept off before he could think of a reply
She snored softly and there was a drool just below her lower lip. He smiled, finding the action cute. What a peculiar girl she was, he thought to himself Sighing, he pulled out of his clothes and got into bed beside her. Theyâve not had a deep, heart to heart talk recently and they needed to. Though they were enjoying this fake marriage life and their sex life was good, but the reason they had this agreement in the first place had not been sorted out, his baby. He would table the matter before her somehow soon. Well, he really needed to sleep now, tomorrow would sort out itself
âWhere are we going?â She asked, as she finished with the last touches of her makeover.
âYouâll see âLiam intoned and walked over to her. He pecked her on both cheeks and smiled âYou look impeccable and beautiful as always, Mrs Blakeâ
She blushed but managed a comment too âI would say the same thing about you, Mr Blake
âShall we go please?â He asked, his eyes were filled with mystery and suspense.
âDefinitely my Lord âShe teased and snaked her hand under his arm.
Together, they went out. He personally gave his driver the night off, saying he wanted to be alone with his woman. He drove them to the airport and she frowned. Were they travelling? Why didnât him inform her beforehand so she could prepare? She wondered. Then slowly, a jet came into her line of vision. and she saw the name imprinted boldly on it BLAKEâ.
Her mouth opened in awe and surprise âYou own this?!â She asked, marveled.
He nodded proudly âYupâ He replied, popping the âpâ. There was no pilot or flight attendants in sight so she turned to him.
âYouâre flying this?â She asked in wonder
He looked amused Thatâs why itâs called a private jet, I guess â
He opened the door for her and she hopped in immediately. Then he did her safety belts and when his hands brushed her stomach accidentally, she inhaled sharply.
He ignored her reaction No escaping nowâ He said softly and patted her hair. Then he said the speaker (Over the radio) July 1-2-2-4 Charlie Tango, ready to departâ
From the other end, a voice was heard Roger that, Charlie Tango, Your flight from Mexico to Houston is cleared *
Carla turned to him, shock written all over her face Houston? Thatâs where we are going?!â
Liam chuckled âYeahâ
Carla clasped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming âOh my God! I wasnât expecting this when you said weâre going on a date!â
She let the cool night air blow her face and smiled happily. This was the best surprise she had ever had in her life. He was so thoughtful, how had he known she was aching to see her mother? Wait, he brought her here on a date and not to see her mother, right? Even if he didnât bring her here for that. they could still go and see her, after all they were in Houston, she thought to herself and smiled, feeling her face stretched by the action.
Liam took a glance at her âA penny for your thoughts?â
She sighed contentedly âAre we going to see mother too?â Her eyes were wide with hope and Liam knew he couldnât ignore that and dashed her hope.
not even if he wanted to
*What do you think? Well Mrs Blake, I brought you out here on a date so you can do whatever you want, ask me anything âHe smiled
âWhat?!â She screamed in excitement When are we flying back?â
He smiledâ Anytime you would like, but we should fly back tomorrow, I have some meetings to attend on Mondayâ
âOkay itâs cool âShe said and turned to the window âLetâs do this baby!â She screamed and Liam laughed, feeling as though he could see the excitement emanating from her body
They landed landed in Houston earlier than she thought and Liam escorted her to one of his penthouse. Carla looked at him, question written in her eyes and Liam smirked.
âWhat?â He asked, his eyes twinkling
She blinked her eyes âWhat?â
âYouâre staring at me â He replied lightly and opened the entrance door for her. She mumbled her thanks and he stared at her, expecting her to say something else.
âNo Iâm not!â She finally replied.
âYes you are!â He laughed
