The Law of Attraction
chapter-89

"Please come in and take a seat . I'll just change and come back quickly." Lana informed him.

She served him a glass of water and a drink before running towards her room for a quick bath.

Liam comfortably sat on Lana's couch, with the can of drink in his hands. Sipping it slowly, he started assessing how he reacted just a while ago.

He knew he went a little overboard by the way he hit that man into a pulp, but what else could he do to save Lana?

He kept the unfinished drink on the table and heaved a long-frustrated sigh. He put his head on the headrest of the couch. He was very tired, to be honest, and was lacking sleep because of Sean's wake.

Without his knowing, he unconsciously dozed off to sleep in a sitting position.

When Lana came back, she noticed Liam fell asleep, so she immediately grabbed a pillow and a comforter and came back to the couch.

"Look at him? He probably did not sleep well because of the wake," Lana whispered, seeing how uncomfortable Liam's position was on her couch.

She put the pillow for Liam's head. He was sleeping so soundly that he didn't even make any move or open his eyes when Lana gently pushed him a little into a comfortable sleeping position. She also removed his shoes and loosened his tie a little, so he could straighten his legs on the couch and doesn't choke. Then she put the comforter on him and covered him properly to make him cozy.

She paused for a while and sat on the center table in her living room to have a proper and closer look at him. She gazed at Liam's sleeping face and was amazed at how handsome he looked even while sleeping, despite the weariness he had on his face at that moment.

Her hand unconsciously raised up and was about to touch Liam's face… However, she retracted her hand at the last moment and landed it on her cheek instead...

*Pak *Pak

'Lana, wake up!' she scolded herself. She added small slaps on her left and right cheeks to wake herself up from such silly thoughts.

She couldn't help but admit that Liam was so manly a while ago saying such cheesy lines in front of everyone. .

He said, 'my woman' repeatedly without any reservations. She smiled, recalling that scene. His attitude had touched her somewhere deep in her heart.

"What a protective boyfriend," she whispered.

'For a fake relationship.' her inner self added further, keeping her at the right track not to deduct unnecessary meanings out of Liam's words and actions.

It was for her own good as well. She should never expect anything from anyone. That way she would remain in her safe haven.

She immediately stood up to walk into the kitchen and cook something to Liam's taste, instead of thinking unnecessary things during broad daylight and taking her thoughts overboard.

Lana prepared a lot of special dishes for Liam, making it extra special somehow. When she finished cooking and preparing the table, she walked to the living room to check on Liam.

She sighed deeply, seeing Liam was still sleeping. She went close to him to wake him up but looking at that exquisite face, as if God had sculpted his features himself, with a high nose, thin lips and beautiful almond shaped eyes she fell into a daze.

She squatted down near him and thought of what she had read somewhere, people with almond shaped eyes were mostly calm and composed, so true to his personality. She was reminded how composed Liam usually kept himself and how elegantly he did everything, yet how he reacted when she was in danger...

That moment was a real shock for her, never had she imagined to see that form of Liam. She sat there and stared at Liam for quite some time, thinking about various things and contemplating whether she should wake him up or let him rest.

be told she actually enjoyed staring at that handsome well sculpted face like that. Another loud exhale escaped from her mouth as she stared at Liam's lips that she had kissed several times and they really felt nice. She snapped out of her thoughts realising she was going astray.

She looked at the wall clock. It was past six in the evening. Maybe she would let Liam sleep and rest a little more, with that thought she stood up and was about to leave when she felt Liam held her wrist.

"Am I too handsome?" Lana heard Liam whisper while he straightened up to sit properly on the couch.

"Huh?" Lana naively breathed.

Liam smirked then tilted his head up to meet Lana's eyes. "I know I am handsome, but a gorgeous woman like you admiring my beauty gives me more confidence."

"Stop talking rubbish." Lana retorted.

"Why? You've been staring at me for so long that I had to open my eyes or else I felt like I would melt by those admiring stares right away." Liam teased her in his heavy sleepy voice.

Lana abruptly coughed and cut her tongue out.

Instead, she mumbled, "Stop that nonsense and get up and freshen up. Dinner is ready. Follow me in the kitchen."

She gently removed Liam's hand from her wrist, but Liam held it more tightly and pulled her on the couch to sit beside him.

"How long did I sleep? And why did you only keep staring and did not wake me up?" Liam asked, looking at Lana closely.

"I was not staring at you, okay!" Lana defended.

"Yes, you were." Liam insisted.

"No… I was just looking, thinking if I should wake you up or not, so don't give any extra meaning to it…" Lana mumbled with pursed lips, keeping her act together not to look guilty on Liam's accusation.

Liam narrowed his eyes. He did not look convinced.

"You know that I've been a lawyer long enough to see through people's expressions, making it easier for me to almost become a mind reader. I know when someone lied to me or not. Since you insisted with your alibi, then I will spare you this time. You're lucky that my stomach has started to grumble���" Liam commented and loosened up her wrist.

"What alibi… Let me tell you that sometimes you still go wrong in assessing other people's expressions… Anyway, follow me and eat dinner so you can finally go back home and take proper rest. You are really very tired." Lana irritatingly whimpered.

"Go back home? You want me to go back without finishing things here? We still need to discuss your punishments if you remember. I think we need to put everything in paper just to make sure you will comply with it. Anyway, let's first go eat now and discuss this afterwards." Liam added before going up to walk to her dining area.

"Put in paper? Is he serious? What is it that we have to put it on paper?" Lana mumbled and quickly stood up to follow Liam in her dining room.
