Chapter 95: Quirkiness

"I need to use my first wish…"

Lana froze in her seat and gulped, hearing those words from Liam all of a sudden.

Her expressions had a big question mark covering her face.

"You mean now?" Lana burst with rounded eyes.

Liam nodded and sat on the chair in front of Lana.

"I have a problem that suddenly popped up in my life and as much as possible I don't want to be disturbed because of the sensitive cases I'm handling. And you're aware of it, right?" Liam started.

Lana nodded but her eyebrows collided as she said, "Can you just get straight to the point Liam?"

"I want to live with you while Gracy is staying in our house?" Liam straightforwardly mentioned.

"What?! Are you nuts!?" Lana burst in great terror.

"Not really. I'm perfectly sane, Lana. And my first wish is to live with you while Gracy is staying in my house." Liam deliberated.

"So what if Gracy is staying in your house? It's not like she will crawl to you and eat you up in your own house… Aren't you overreacting too much and besides, she's your childhood sweetheart, why do you have so many problems with her now? Didn't you like her a lot in your college days!?" Lana mumbled.

Liam's face frowned while he sternly said, "I told you already Lana, I hate women, especially those women who play games and are selfish. I don't want any such woman, even if she was my childhood crush, to play tricks with me, to get into any relationship with me.

Also, I am too engrossed in establishing myself and don't want anyone in my life right now, so I'm acting in advance. Since she is my childhood sweetheart, I definitely know she's up to something. That is why she has asked to stay in our house. She must be having a goal to win me back and woo my father to help her in this as well."

Liam wanted to hit himself for spurting all those nonsense just to convince Lana. But half of it was close to reality. Gracy gave him a subtle hint during the funeral by her actions. Or maybe Lana was right that he was thinking ahead? However, he wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Lana and have himself imprinted in her life little by little?

Liam knew his ways were cunning, but what else could a man in love with a woman, who hates men, do? He needed to melt her heart a step each day and blend in with Lana's personality. Adjust his approach according to her tempo to capture her love? One wrong move and she would kick him out of her life, and that he could not let happen even in his dreams.

He was thinking if he should say something more to convince her and contemplated his pool of words. He tilted up his head, and he saw Lana in deep thought, looking away from him. He was astounded by the simple cuteness she could have, even when she sat quietly pondering over something.

'Ah!!! Liam… are you sure you would be able to abide by your promise of staying away from her when she would be so close to you?' Liam questioned himself, as he felt that he was more and more mesmerised by her beauty every passing day. All he wanted whenever he saw her was to hold her tightly in his embrace and kiss her madly.

As Liam kept looking at Lana like a lovesick fool, her eyes shifted towards the ceiling and she gave some serious thoughts to certain things. Finally she exhaled loudly in front of him, waking him up, showing how she was struggling to grant his wish.

"Don't you trust me enough, Lana? You have always answered me with a yes, I trust you, but how come you often hesitate in believing in my words. It's not like I will bring any harm to you. I will behave like a very tamed housemate in your house and I will follow whatever rules you make inside the house, so please be at ease and agree to my request, okay?

You see, it's a good thing that Gracy will know I'm staying in your house. She will think I have a very serious relationship with you and I'm sure she will leave our house soon." Liam tried to convince Lana further.

Lana pursed her lips and defended, "But living under one roof together could be uncomfortable!"

"Didn't you experience the same in the military? I heard it's the worst there, since you have to sleep with many people, both men and women in one room. While we will sleep in separate rooms but I don't mind even sleeping in the same room with you, since I'm confident about my gentlemanly behaviour.

But I'm not sure about you... or... are you afraid that you will lose control with me around you or misbehave with me around?" Liam added as he drawled his last sentence in a low voice.

Lana's eyes squinted when she heard that because of Liam's tone, as if he was trying to convey that between the two of them it was her who was the improperly behaved person. He was obviously challenging her!

"Fine! I will have a few house rules and if you break any of those rules, you leave me alone!" Lana barked with gritted teeth. She hated it whenever she was challenged like that.

'Let's see then who misbehaves and gets kicked out in no time!' Lana inwardly hissed.

Liam tried his best not to grin and show off his happiness, seeing Lana's flaring nostrils. Somehow he had managed to get an upper hand on how to handle Lana's quirkiness.

Liam's lips lifted up while the corners of his eyes crinkled.

"Sure… Tell me the rules and I will comply with them and live accordingly." he said before he rose up from his seat. He extended his hand to Lana for a handshake and said.

"It's a deal then? One wish granted. I will move to your place tonight." Liam commented.

Lana's intercom buzzed, and it was Dona.

"Lana is Sir Liam in your room? Miss Gracy is here to see him." Dona informed Lana.
