The Transfer novel Chapter 52

Liam licked his lips as he dunked the plate into the soapy dish water. He scrubbed the plate and then handed it to me. I use the dish towel to dry the plate and then placed it back in the cupboard. Jenny was humming a song from the dining table. She was reading over the human newspaper whilst Ezra was playing a puzzle game on his iPad.

I took another plate from Liam and dried it before putting it away. Liam flickered his eyes to me again and then held my gaze when I looked back at him. I raised my eyebrows at him and he winked.

"The bedroom is ours after this," Liam told me hotly. I widened my eyes at him and felt a tingling sensation in my belly.

"Then hurry up," I told him cheekily. Liam smirked and continued washing the dishes. We worked a little faster and then wiped down the bench.

"Liam, have you found out when that meeting is yet?" Ezra asked as we were about to leave. I held back a groan. I just wanted to spend some time alone with Liam while I had the chance.

Cass and Leon had apparently been messing around with each other all day so Liam's room would be perfect, because that meant no one would want to go past Leon's room. Especially Lucas.

"Yeah, two days from now. We'll be heading up to Terialta for the day. I organised with Beckett for us to stay the night also," Liam replied. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"You spoke to Beckett?" I asked him, shocked. Liam nodded at me. "Was he nice to you?"

Liam laughed and nodded at me. I frowned at him. That was strange. I would have expected Beckett to be somewhat difficult.

"He was, but none of the others were," Liam replied. Ezra and I both nodded at this. That sounded better.

"Well, that's good. Can't wait," Ezra said. He eyed Liam and I carefully. "You two going somewhere?"

I smiled at him and nodded. Liam tensed a little. "We're going to go hang out with Lila, Brayleigh and the others. They're all back at their cabin."

Lying to Ezra was easy, but making it convincing was hard. I hoped that Ezra forgot about Cass and Leon being occupied with each other. He would know for sure that we'd all avoid the house if they were busy with each other.

Little did he know.

Ezra looked to Jenny who had a subtle smirk on her lips. She didn't look up at Liam and I and it was obvious she knew what we were up to.

"Alright. Have fun. Be back for dinner if you're staying late," Jenny said, still not looking up. Her smirk only grew as I grinned at her and then turned with Liam.

We raced out the house before they could call us back. I giggled with Liam as he slung an arm around my waist.

"I've been waiting to get a moment alone with you all day," Liam mumbled to me as we walked. I smirked and nodded as I leant into him. His chest rumbled.

"Me too. It kind of sucks having nowhere private to go, huh?" I said to him, my cheeks heating up at my own words. I sounded like I was talking about us doing something other than us making out.

Liam rumbled and pulled me closer. "You're too good, sugar."

We neared the cabin and stepped inside. Lila was asleep in the living room as we passed. No one else was around and I knew that Lucas was out with Quo and Kade, more than likely getting up to trouble.

We were good to go for a while.

I felt giddy as Liam tugged me down the hallway. We passed Leon's room and I heard giggles. I smirked and shook my head as we walked into Liam's room.

"I cleaned my room just for you," Liam told me as he shut the door. I giggled and nodded at him.

"I can't say the same. My bedroom is a damn mess," I told him as I laughed. Liam rolled his eyes playfully as he walked over to the window and shut the blinds.

I opened my mouth to speak but words didn't come out. I realised that it was a little awkward. I said nothing and rubbed my neck as I looked at the ground. What next?

I looked at Liam, who's eyes were darting around the room. It got even more awkward when we started to hear light bumps coming from Leon's room. I widened my eyes slightly and looked away from Liam fast.

The bumps were frequent and I knew exactly what it was. Leon and Cass.

I looked at Liam again and we made eye contact. I awkwardly sucked in a deep breath and looked away fast again. There was a louder thump this time and then I heard faint giggles and deep laughter.

"They do that a lot, don't they?" I asked Liam. He laughed awkwardly and nodded.

I had no idea why I was so awkward. Talking about it moments ago was fine.

Liam came forwards suddenly. I was finally ready for him to kiss me. I had missed him and his touch over the past week. I was sure he felt the same.

Liam got to me and as I went to kiss him, he tried to hug me. He head butted me hard in the nose.

I yelped loudly and jumped away from him, laughing nervously as I held my nose. Liam's eyes widened as he gaped at me. "I'm s—sorry! I was trying to hug you!"

I laughed some more as I felt his embarrassment. That was the biggest miscommunication I had ever witnessed.

"I was trying to kiss you!" I laughed out. Liam started laughing too and then motioned for me to come forwards.
