The next day, as agreed, Liam and Nora met in the library of the regular building.
They sat opposite each other on the table, doing their respective works.Nora immersed herself completely in the project. <Two hours later, Nora was finally done with the reports. As it was late, they had moved to the special building. Stretching out her hands, she packed her stuff and placed the reports on the table. Meanwhile, Liam was also done playing on his phone. He did not look at the file and placed it inside the drawer. “I’ll check it out tomorrow.” “Suit yourself” she grabbed her bag and walked out of the office. Liam followed behind in unhurried steps. As they neared the elevator, Nora halted in her tracks and asked over her shoulders. “Why are you following me?” Liam felt the urge to roll his eyes at her. Stretching out his legs, he bumped into her shoulders. “Please.” He entered the elevator. Nora stood on her spot, her eyes moving to the man inside the elevator. “In or not?”Liam asked when he saw her standing still in her place. Nora snorted and s
Turning to her side, Nora opened her eyes groggily when Jessica’s face enlarged in her vision. She sat up with a start and placed her hand on her chest. “What are you doing? Trying to kill me?” Jessica sat up lazily beside her and replied, “That’s what I want to ask you. What exactly have you been up to?” “Hold on a sec, what am I doing at your place?” The last thing she remembered, she was trapped inside the elevator with Liam. “You don’t remember anything?” Jessica asked in disbelief. Nora shook her head. “My memories stop when I was stuck in the elevator and I feel too lazy to use my brain.” Jessica’s mouth twitched. She inhaled sharply and started explaining. “You passed out outside the elevator and some students passing by informed Jackson about it, and he further informed me.” Nora nodded and asked hesitatingly. “What about Liam?” “Liam? I didn’t see him.” “Oh!” Nora’s eyes dimmed in disappointment, but she quickly brushed it away and plastered a smile on he
God knew how much he had to restrain himself from pulling her into his arms. Were the heavens finally noticing his efforts? Liam was, in fact, aware of everything. The way she was striking a conversation with him and doing errors to make him talk to her. Actually, he didn’t mean to ignore her, but now that he thought about it, it was absolutely worth it. And the girl was so fucking adorably cute. Although she was trying her best to hide the obviousness, her eyes terribly gave her away. She didn’t know, but his attention was always on her. And when Nancy arrived, he wasn’t oblivious to the hostility she showed towards her. It was the same he had whenever she was with her boy toy. That only made him further happy, and his eye crinkled into a smile that even he wasn’t aware of. He never had the intention to leave her alone or push the workload on her. Therefore, when Nancy proposed for lunch, he stalled her. It was a rare opportunity for them to be together, and he wasn’t stupid t
Nora’s POV I withdrew my books from the locker and searched for my AirPods. I had this weird habit of losing them every time. As I rummaged through my stuff, I heard someone call out my name. “Nora?” I turned around to find a guy I wasn’t familiar with standing behind me. He was tall, incredibly pale, and had a pair of enchanting blue eyes that I had never seen before. “That’s me.” I nodded. “I finally met you. I’m Alex. I’ve heard about you a lot and you can consider me as your biggest fan.It would be great if we could get to know each other. Mind if you have some free time?” he said, all in a breath. Here goes another one! As a person always in the front line who bullied the bullies, it was normal for me to receive all kinds of treatment. That said, I had many admirers too. Therefore, when he popped out of nowhere, I wasn’t the least bit surprised.&nb
Nora’s POV My words caught up in my throat as I did not expect to come across him. As I stared at him blankly, he cleared his throat, snapping me back to reality. I nodded at him. “It is.” This was not good. I couldn’t be seen with him. I really have to give it to him, though. Ever since I met him near the locker room, he was resolute on going out with me. His repeated attempts annoyed me thoroughly. Although I ignored him on the campus in every way, he was like a disaster that couldn’t be avoided. I started thinking of a way to get rid of him. But he didn’t look like he had any intention to leave soon. Picking a random book from the shelf, he asked, flipping through the pages. “You love to read novels?” “I do,” I mum
Nora’s POV I arrived at Jessica’s house and layon her bed, staring at the ceiling. Both her parents workedand hence Jessica and her younger sister would have the house to themselves. “What? Miss me already?” Jessica teased while coming out of the bathroom. “I met him,” I confessed. “Who?” “Alex Rivera.” “What?” she asked, stunned. “I said I met Alex Rivera,” I repeated. She threw her towel on a nearby chairand snapped. “Are you crazy, Nora? Didn’t I-“ “Dude, relax,” I cut her off. “He came to me while I was in the library, not the other way round okay.” She took a deep breath. “What did you guys talk about?” I recalledthe entire thing that happened. “He seems persistent. Still, are you sure you didn’t give him any hints because he’s handsome?” she asked suspiciously. I rolled my eyesat her. Well,
On the second floor. With every move she took, she stirred the hearts of all the people present. Nora was not a professional dancer or someone who danced frequently, but her moves were clear and graceful.Maybe it was the wine that took control over her, or maybe because she was in a good mood, she found herself completely lost in the rhythm.As her body moved, the men in the room were all eyeing at her with shrewd gazes, about to pounce on her any moment. Suddenly, a hand snaked around her waist from behind and was spun around. Turning around, Nora met those dark grey eyes that stared at her dangerously. The familiar smell filled her nostrils. As she was tipsy, she didn’t push him away. Instead, she put her arms around his neck and moved her body along to the music. Liam held her soft waist, and they started dancing. Several people were on the dance floor, and their bodies were pres
Liam stood there quietly in the silent night. The nights in Kingstown were always cold. Added to that, they were now standing at the top, Nora was hit with the chilly breeze. Holding her trembling body, Liam hurriedly got down from the railings and pulled her down. When they reached the car, Nora suddenly pounced on him from behind.She hugged his strong waist, refusing to let him go. Liam stiffened before turning around and held her. “What’s wrong?” “It’s cold.” Nora hugged him tightly. Liam let her hug him and opened the car door and sat inside before pulling Nora on his laps. Snuggling into his embrace, she tried to absorb as much warmth as she could from his body. Liam turned on the heater and pulled the seat behind so they could sit comfortably. Putting her small hands in his broad palm, he rubbed them. Tonight, she wore a s
