True but Forbidden

Chapter 5- Job Troubles

Liam's POV

I am so going to be fired from this job if she's going to be here while I'm working.

In the first ten minutes that we started working together I messed up a coffee, broke a plate, spilled a coffee, and burned my hand.

As soon as I had burned it she immediately rushed over and turned on cold water to run over it.

She held my hand, running it under the cold water, while I winced at the sudden change in temperature.

She turned off the water and I looked down to see her looking up at me.

She looked into my eyes, and once again I wanted to swim inside of them, or at least keep looking into them forever.

She looked away and it was like I snapped out of a trance.

"Umm I think I'm just going to get some ice for your hand..." Emma muttered quickly, looking down.

"Uh yeah ok", I said a little awkwardly.

She came back a few minutes later with some ice and handed it to me.

The rest of work went by pretty quickly and soon enough I was heading home.

There was a party tonight, and I was mostly just going to it so I wouldn't have to think about my mom's wedding that was happening tomorrow.

I threw on some dark blue jeans and a tight-fitting black t-shirt. I ran a hand through my hair quickly, before heading towards the door.

Right as I was about to open the door, I heard footsteps stop behind me.

I turned around and saw my mother standing there looking very delicate and fragile.

"Where are you going?" She asked me.

"A party... I promise I won't stay out too late...ok?"

She took a deep breath before saying,"Ok."

I gave her a loose hug and a kiss on the top of her head.

I opened the door and, before I closed it, I heard her call out, "Have fun!"

I smiled and headed towards my car.

I stopped by Ryan's house to pick him up for the party, and then we were on our way to Paul's house, which was where the party was.

When we pulled up we could hear the music pumping from inside and outside.

Emma's POV

"Umm I think I'm just going to get some ice for your hand..." I muttered to him after just standing there awkwardly for a few seconds.

"Uh yeah ok," he said before I hurried to get some ice.

As I was just about the head back with a bag of ice, I felt my phone buzz.

I looked down to see that I had a text message from Caleb.

'Ill pick u up from ur house at 8. Be ready. Text me ur address.'

I hesitated and considered just not giving him my address, but I knew he would find a way to get it even if I didn't.

I pressed the reply button and quickly punched in my address.

I came back with the bag of ice and handed it to Liam before getting back to work.

Work passed relatively quickly after that.

I walked home and quietly slipped inside.

Even though my father wasn't supposed to be home yet, that didn't mean he wasn't.

I was just being extra careful until I knew that he wasn't here for sure.

I looked around and made sure he wasn't anywhere nearby before taking a quick shower.

I put on a little bit of mascara and that was it for make up.

I went to my closet and pulled out a pair of my favorite dark jeans and a cute top.

I started brushing my brown, slightly wet hair, while looking over at the clock to see that it was 7:50pm.

I quickly finished brushing my hair and pinned up a few pieces to make it look like I actually tried.

I checked again to make sure my dad didn't walk in while I was getting ready.

I knocked on Cain's door and I heard some rustling, before the door opened and he was standing in front of me.

"I'm going to a party tonight. There's some soup on the counter. Take it in your room and keep your door locked."

He nodded and I started heading towards the door while he headed towards the kitchen.

I was just walking outside when I saw Caleb's car pull up.
