The Law of Attraction
chapter-44

Clyde turned and looked at Lana, who was still busy watching a reality show.

"Lan… look at me," he said firmly, turning down the volume of the television.

"Hmm? Why? You wanna go out?" Lana asked.

Clyde looked closely,

"You said you are just acting as Liam's girlfriend, and there is nothing serious in either of your minds, right? And you are doing this all to eliminate all the women who pester him and for his father to be in peace and not send him on any more blind dates and furthermore you also believe that this is being done to kill the rumor of him being gay?" he asked in a row.

Lana heard his statements with seriousness so she smiled then nodded in agreement.

"And you're comfortable in his presence and even when he is close to you because you believe he is a gay like me, and can not develop any kind of romantic feelings for you that can hurt you in a longer run?" Clyde asked next.

Lana was swept by his questions and gazed at him as she couldn't understand why he was asking her all such things.

"Of course. Why are you asking these questions again to me, Clyde? Didn't I already tell you the same?" Lana mumbled and diverted her attention again towards the television while eating her ch.i.p.s.

But Clyde was frustrated by her nonchalance and on not getting a proper response from her, he turned off the power button of the television.

"Clyde!" Lana exclaimed and threw a narrowed glare at Clyde. It was her favorite show that she got time to watch after a whole many days, and he was hellbent on spoiling her fun.

'How dare this homo turn off her TV.'

"Do you want me to kick you out of my house huh right away?" Lana hissed. Clyde looked amused and ignored her. Instead, he keenly stared at Lana with questioning eyes.

"What's with that look?" Lana complained.

"Answer me first."

"What?"

"What if Liam is not a gay? Will you still help him and act as his girlfriend?" Clyde asked.

"Of course not!" Lana quickly answered.

"You have a debt to pay and if you don't agree to his terms, he will sue you and your internship too will be gone at such a well-respected firm?"

"Oh, yeah right. I will still have to agree to those terms. But even if I will act as his girlfriend, I will keep some distance from him and not get too touchy with him, perhaps. Like I will not dare be so free and easy in front of him and definitely no kissing or even if it's needed just a casual kiss, and certainly, if he is a straight guy then I will guard myself and my little heart well from him very strongly, like I always do. What's a kiss, anyway?" Lana defended.

Clyde rolled his eyes on such an easy explanation by Lana and couldn't understand if this was something called fate that an ever so agile woman was left with almost no brain and just trusted a few rumors about a man like Liam being a gay.

"Let's just wait and watch then. I think you're not being true to yourself. I just can't understand you when you lie like that." Clyde said with a grumpy face.

Lana laughed and wrapped her arms on Clyde's while she rested her head on his shoulder.

"You know me Clyde, I never get too close to any man, you and Drey are the two exceptions to this rule of my life. Well, I don't know why, but I have started including Liam also in this same space now. It's been a very short time since I had been around him, but I feel as if I have come to know his inner personality very well. He is a gentleman and I have no doubt about this. He is respectable, true and very gentle in his heart."

"Even then if someday I found out that he's a straight man and not gay… I will definitely make sure to keep distance from him and probably run away from Liam as well, and Clyde, God forbid, but if I started to have feelings that I shouldn't have towards him and you know why… then… you know I will do anything to escape from all that then." Lana murmured in a soft voice and sighed.

Clyde looked at Lana in awe, and at that moment things became very clear in his mind. Both he and Lana knew that she was not a woman who would gamble with her emotions for a man.

She had once vowed that she would never let herself experience the pain of being broken in love by any trash man and had decided that she would rather stay alone, all her life and live by herself than wasting her heart and emotions on any man. She knew how to be happy. She did not need any man beside her in this life.
