Aileen

As I stand beside Liam, he puts on his suit in a little bit of a hurry while engaged in conversation with me. It's not easy to pretend that everything's alright with me because he knows me so well but for now, I'll do what I can. "So, any word from Stephanie?" I ask. "You've barely mentioned her."

He gives me a half smile, pulling on the necktie hanging around his neck. "I didn't know you'd be interested."

I get closer and take over to complete his look.

"I know she hates me," I say to him. "How could I not want to know about someone like her?"

He sighs. "She and I have barely spoken. She's made a few attempts but it hasn't really worked out, only because I was on my honeymoon."

"Is she going on this business trip with you?"

"Yeah, Josh, too."

I roll my eyes, drop my hands and get away from him.

"Hey," he chuckles. "They're my friends and we've always been a team. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

His reassurance comes with another smile where he shows off his pearly whites and I nod in understanding.

"And what about Kate?"

He rolls his eyes, seemingly irritated by the mention of her name. "Don't even go there. I'm definitely so different from who I used to be and it's all because of you. I intend to keep things as they are, okay? Come here." He holds out his hand while standing in place and I shake my head, taking my time while approaching him.

Placing my hand in his before I'm close enough, I gasp when he suddenly pulls me closer, his hand firmly resting against my waist as he teases to lower it to my ass.

"Whoa! Easy, tiger." I giggle, placing my hand on his chest.

"I have to go now." His voice is quiet as he takes in the view of my face.

"You do realize that I'm going with you all the way outside, right?" I remind him.

"I know that, but I won't be able to do this, so let me. I should be back in a few days. We'll definitely make up for it." He suggestively licks his bottom lip.

I sigh, shaking my head at how soon this is happening and it's just the beginning. Deep down, I'm relieved that he's going away for a few days. I don't see myself being in the moment with him if he was to make love to me, not with everything on my mind. I first need to get
