Eve's POV
    I don't know where this courage came from all of a sudden or maybe I understand the true meaning of 'dating' now.
  I was free to do whatever I wanted to do with him since we were distance away from the company...Liam on the other hand, do not just care if any of colleagues sees us together.
We had lunch together, took some lovely pictures. We had alot of fun.
    
    Later, he suggested that it was time to drive back to the office but he drove pass the office instead.
   "Where are we going to Liam?" I asked him.
 "My place" He replied..
"But...but.."
 "They can take care of themselves at the office. I'm the CEO afterall" He said with his hand over my neck and the other turning the steering.
    "Just say you are taking me to your place, so that I can work for you?" I asked him, sarcastically.
    "What Eve no, so that we can have some time together before you go back to that man's place" He said.. referring to his father as that man.
    "I know right"  I sighed then relaxed on his shoulder.
    
When we arrived in front of his apartment.
    "Wait. Hold on here" He said then quickly came out of the car. 
 At first, I thought something was wrong..not until he came to the other side to open the car door for me and I smiled.
    "Thank you" I told him as I got off.
    Then we went into his apartment together.

   "Feels so good to be back here again" I said; admiring the place like it's new to me.
  "Do you miss my place?" He said; wrapping his hands around my waist again. I think he is now find of it or is my pretty shape so charming.
    "Uhm kind of" I answered him and he smiled then kissed me on my neck slowly. 
  I moaned slowly. I don't know why I suddenly became so sensitive to his touch and his sweet frangrace. (Just like unexpectedly Mr Maya almost charmed me with his touch but I make sure it's never gonna happen again). I guess I'm feeling this way again with Liam because I actual love him so much. I continued to moan slowly as he kissed my neck, and I was even the one who pulled him tighter to me then I slid my hand slowly on his back but then he stopped immediately and looked at me.
   "I'm sorry Eve" He said slowly disengaging from me.
 "It..it's fine. What was I thinking?" I stammered, feeling a little bit disappointed.
"We only started this relationship and it's.." I interrupted him.
  "I just didn't want your father to finally have his way" I told him.
 "Oh" He smiled abit.
    
"Should I cook for you?" I changed the topic so as to brighten up the calm serene.
    "We just had lunch plus I don't want you to work for me". He said..
 "Jeez I was only teasing you when I mentioned that" I said pinching his cheeks. "Or are you turning down my offer?" I pretended to sad.
    "Oh no.. you can prepare the dinner now if you insist then. He said kissing me on the cheeks.
  "Right away. Then I'll back in few minutes to spend some time with you" I said.. he paved the way for me to go into the kitchen.
    
    I had only started rinsing my hands in the sink when he grabbed me by my waist. I didn't even know when he came in.
  "You can as well spend some time with me here in the kitchen" He said. I smiled as I turned around to face him .. He already pulled off his shirts...and I saw those abs and six packs again.
    "Do you wanna cook with me or you want me to teach you how to cook?" I asked placing my palm on his hot chest.
    "Uhmm.."
   His phone rang from the living room; cutting him off.
  "I'll be right back" He said as he rushed to get it. 
    I blushed then continue what I was doing.
  I could only hear his distant conversation, I didn't really hear what he was saying to the caller.
    
    Soon he came back.
 "Guess who just called me now" He asked me.
  "I don't want to but I already trust you too well that I know it's not a side chick" I said.
    "Sidechick? Haha"  He giggled.
    I also know he has none because I haven't seen him with another girl aside from Clara and they are over now.
  "That was Mrs Pitts" He told me.
 "Mrs Pitts?" I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.
   "Why? What happened? Another meeting?" I asked.
   "Uhm, not yet. She only asked if I have contacted her daughter"
  "Oh Janet"
  "And you know that I only got her number on your behalf " He added and I nodded. "Have you spoken with Janet?"
    "No" I shook my head.." I was gonna do that before the Dad's illness came up. I'll call her soon" I said.
   "But why is Mrs Pitt worried that you haven't contacted her daughter?"
   "I don't know" He blunted.
    "Uhm" I looked at him and smirked..then somehow,my glance stopped at his really hot six packs. I touched it; "Gosh" I rolled my eyes and stopped immediately... then stirred the meal I was cooking.
    "Wait, did you fall for me because of this?" He came closer to me.
  "What on earth?" I blurted.
  "Oh let me rephrase the question then. Did you fall for me after seeing this?" He pointed at packs below his navel then I spotted the little hairs then I began to drool again..
    He came behind me, packed my hair to the back as he held me my waist with his hand and lean a little on me.
  "Are you almost done cooking?" He asked me in my ear.
    "Almost " I responded.
  He continued to stay that way but he slid his hand slowly on my hipline. Gosh... I'm so attracted to his touch but I tried to resist the urge.
    
    There was a sudden knock on the door.
   "Are you expecting a visitor?" I asked him.
 "Not at all" He said as he slowly disengaged from me then left the kitchen.
   "Hey" that was Mark's voice.
 "Mark? What a surprise visit, what are you doing here?" I heard Liam asked him.
    Gosh Mark? What will I do?
    There's no way I can escape without going out of the kitchen, which means that Mark will definitely see me.
  
  "I came to see you of course, because I..uhm miss a big brother" Mark said; "I have been to the office.."
  "Oh you have. I left the office earlier today" Liam told him.
 "What about Eve, I didn't see her also" He said.
  "Uh? Oh Eve.. I uhm she must have gone out" Liam stammered.
 "Oh I see" Mark remarked..:" What's that smell?" He began to sniff his nose.
    "What ...what smell?"
    
  "I can perceive a delicious sauce" Mark said.
    Ah!
 "Are you cooking?" Mark asked him.
  "Yes..yes I am" He responded.
 "You can't even cook? Let me see what it is?" Mark said .. that's how he bumped in into the kitchen.
    I was just right there ~ shocked to even say the least.
   Liam came over.
    "Ah.. Hi Mark" I said nervously.
"Uhmm... Mark, she actually came to help me with the cooking. You know I don't enjoying eating out" Liam tried to explain to hum but Mark bursted into laugh.
    "He ...he is right" I stammered.
  "Yes he is right" Mark said then looked at his brother and I suspiciously.
 "Is there anything going on between the two of you?" He asked.. we didn't say anything.
  "Gosh the food" A slight burnt aroma passed through my nostrils. I quickly turned of the gas.
    
    "What..what are you talking about Mark?" Liam said to him.
  "Hmmn" He folded one hand and placed the other under his jaw, stilling looking at us suspciously.
   "There's nothing between us Mark" I tried not to stammered then I looked at Liam and said ... "I'm done with the cooking. I'll take my leave now" I bowed my head.
    "Oh that's right. Okay. Thanks for helping me out" Liam played along.
   And I wanted to pass by them to leave the kitchen.
   "Wait Eve" Mark stopped me.
 I stopped walking and looked at him. 
  He turned to Liam..and said; "Why was I even asking if there's anything going on between the both of you. Of course I know there's something going on" Mark said and my eyes almost bulged out of the socket.
    
    "What, Mark..." His brother exclaimed.
 "Don't even try to deny it, I heard her speaking to you last night" He said and I opened my mouth in awe.
   He turned to me and said; "Eve does this ring a bell - 'I love you Liam?'" He mimicked my voice and I was dumbfounded.
   I glared at Liam who pulled his hair to the back... probably meaning that we should quit lying and just tell him the truth. Since he already found out.
