Bored. Lonely. Those two terms I have become very familiar with. It is now Sunday morning exactly 5 days since I met Liam's parents, and 5 days of doing absolutely nothing by myself. I haven't seen Liam in those 5 days and it is starting to annoy me. I thought this weekend he would be here and maybe, just maybe we could 'bond' but apparently not.

For some reason right after my talk with his mother when I walked into the living room he was out of his seat ready to leave. I barely had time to say goodbye to his family before Liam was pushing me out the door and into the car. I tried asking why we were leaving so soon when I had just started to bond with them. All I got in reply was 'We are going home' or a grunt. The moment we got home around 4 o'clock Liam walked away from me down the hall and that was the last I have seen him. He's always gone before I got up in the morning and always getting home later when I'm already in bed.

I've heard him moving around late at night but haven't gotten the guts to get up and go talk to him. I was still confused on why we had to leave his parents and why he was still acting cold with me. You'd think he'd want to get to know me better or something but no. He's made himself scarce lately.

The last 5 days haven't been to unproductive though. On wednesday I called Candy talking to her for a few hours, I also went grocery shopping that afternoon with Garrett who is actually really great company. On thursday I met up with Sophia at the diner to get my last paycheck and catch up. We spent a good 3 hours just sitting there talking before she had to get back to work. Ever since I went shopping I've cooked from home, I even made extra's for Liam but he was never there. Although I did notice in the morning the leftovers would be gone so at least he was eating. On friday I had my first encounter with Liam's maid/housekeeper Martha.

I had just gotten out of the shower and was walking in just my towel to get a drink when I came across Martha in the kitchen. Both of us were surprised to say the least. Martha at first thought I was one of Liam's lady friends but after explaining to her that I wasn't without to much detail she realized I wasn't. Martha was a small slight woman in her mid 60's, with short white hair. She was what I thought a grandma would be like. Apparently she is suppose to come by and clean up the house twice a week but she was busy with her grandchildren so she couldn't come by.

We ended up spending a good portion of the morning talking and getting to know one another. I didn't tell her I was Liam's fake fiancé and she thankfully didn't ask. I kept my ring in my bedroom and Martha just thought I was a daughter of some friend of Liam. I had already told enough people out the deal that I didn't want to get in trouble telling anyone else.

Now Sunday morning I sat outside out in gazebo looking out at the flowers enjoying the nice weather. It was really nice out that I was even in shorts, I knew the nice weather wouldn't last much longer. With nothing else to do maybe I should take a swim. There wasn't much I haven't done inside the house. I've already finished 2 books in just a few days, I've cleaned the house although it didn't need it, I've walked around the backyard multiple times. I guess re-decorating will be on my to-do list this week.

Deciding to take advantage of the weather I headed inside to change into a bathing suit. I don't remember having one or even buying one but yesterday during my boredom I went through my clothes and found one. Lennon must have snuck it in while we were shopping. Coming into my room I stripped out of my current clothes and grabbed my new swim suit. Putting it on I couldn't help but love it.

The top was almost tie dye but with more white, it had stripes like a fringe hanging down the front, and the bottom were the same tie dye color. I normally don't like my body but looking in the mirror I smiled at myself turning in different poses. Grabbing my hair brush I quickly pulled my blonde hair into a messy bun on top of my head. With a towel hanging off my arm I headed back outside.

As I walked towards the pool I couldn't help but think of how bored and lonely I have been this week. Sure I've always been lonely but not ever really bored. Working 2 jobs everyday and until late at night didn't give me much time to be bored. And when I had a day off from both I was to busy catching up on sleep, cleaning my little apartment, or paying bills. Now that I have no jobs or anything to do for that matter I was very bored. I just wish Liam would give me something to do or let me get another job. I'm not good doing nothing because I will soon start thinking about things I shouldn't and that is not good. Someone like me has to be going.

With a sigh I set my towel on a bench next to the pool and made my way to the stair entrance. Dipping my toe in I shivered a little at the coldness. Deciding it would be better to just get in quickly I went to the end of the deep end, 10 ft., taking a deep breath. Before I could back out I was jumping into the water and letting it envelope me in a cocoon, my body sinking to the bottom. Once I hit the bottom I pushed off the floor and swam to the surface. My head breaking the water I gulped in air feeling the cool water against my skin.

I grinned moving my arms around me to stay afloat. It's been so long since I swam last that it felt amazing. Whenever I could I would walk to the rec-center and swim for a while before heading back home. I loved the feeling of water against my skin and how lifeless I felt floating on top of it. Turning to lay on my back I closed my eyes and floated, feeling my body let go. The feeling of being lifeless, free, and weightless was something that I treasured. It wasn't often I felt like that in my life, instead I felt weighed down, the whole weight of the world resting on my shoulders.

The sun shined bright down on me warming the skin that wasn't underwater, a slightly breeze tickling it. A few birds chirped and sang around me, talking to one another. A sense of calm washed over me and I grinned widely. Dunking my head back under I started swimming to the other side.

I swam from one end of the pool to the other multiple times before coming to a stop at the deep end and resting my arms on the edge. I didn't realize how big the pool was until I did a lap and my arms burned. After doing 3 laps my arms felt like noodles. Softly kicking my legs I rested my head on my arms and closed my eyes feeling the soft breeze against my face. Laying there I realized I could get use to this. A pool at my disposal was going to be nice when summer came around. I debated getting up and turning on some music but being to lazy and not wanting to get out I stayed where I was.

I lost track of time swimming around in the pool and occasionally getting out to try an get a little bit of a tan. I was now on my back floating again when a muffled voice reached my ears underwater. Opening my eyes I saw Liam standing there in his work clothes his hands in his pant pockets. He must have taken off his suit taken for he was only wearing a nice fitting light grey shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of black slacks, his tie loosened and hanging around his neck. His brown hair was tousled from his fingers and he had a nice 5 o'clock shadow across his jaw. So all in all he looked very sexy standing there watching me.

Surprised to see him home I swam towards him and stopped treading water looking up at him.

"Your home."

"What are you doing in the pool?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Swimming what else?" I asked sarcastically back.

"It is almost 6:30. Its going to be dark soon." Oh. It was 3 when I got in so I was in here for 3 1/2 hours!

"Shit." I muttered under my breath going to the edge and pulling myself out of the pool. I kicked my legs a little to help me and swung my leg onto the concrete. Liam took a small step back as I stood there dripping wet. I felt his blue eyes traveling my body that my bikini did little to cover up. With my cheeks red I quick brushed past him and grabbed my towel. The whole time I dried off my arms and legs I felt Liam's gaze on me and I tried not to squirm. I bent over to dry my legs and heard a quiet groan. Shooting back up I blushed even harder turning to his direction.

"Are you done yet?" He asked in a deep husky voice. I could see his hands balled into fists. I quickly wrapped my towel around myself as my stomach growled ready for dinner.

"Are you hungry?" I asked walking towards Liam trying to hid the fact my stomach loudly growled. All he did was nod looking down at me, his blue eyes darker than before. Swallowing I quickly walked past him and towards the house the whole time feeling his heated stare. Not knowing if he was following me I swiftly went to my room and threw on an over sized t-shirt to cover my bikini. I don't have time to change because I bet Liam will want dinner done fast.

Coming back into the kitchen I found Liam standing there looking down at his phone. Tearing my eyes away from his sexy form leaning against the counter I headed to the fridge.

"Do you want something specific?" I asked looking around.

"No." Came his only reply. Rolling my eyes I decided to make something quick and simple. Grabbing some shrimp from the freezer I quickly put it in a bowl with some water. I pulled out a big pan along with some spaghetti noodles. As I moved around the kitchen Liam just stood there playing on his phone and occasionally looking over at me. I tried not to let his gaze affect me while I worked.

With the noodles boiling, with a little bit of salt, for our shrimp linguine I grabbed what I would need from the fridge for the sauce. With nothing to do while the noodles were cooking I leaned against the counter by the sink and watched Liam. He leaned against the counter like a model that just came off the runway. My eyes ran greedily down his body actually feeling my mouth water. I think i've said it before but I'll say it again, there is nothing sexier then a well dressed man. Every lady will agree with me.

"I think you noodles are over boiling." Liam said suddenly. I snapped my eyes away from him and to the stove. He was right I quickly ran to it and grabbed the spoon stirring it just before boiling over the side. Tasting a piece of a noodle and noticing it was down I turned off the stove and went to grab it to drain it. "I got it." A deep voice said over my shoulder and a pair of hands coming over mine. Looking up Liam stood pressed against me grabbing the pan's handle. His leg nudged me to move so I stepped to my left.

I watched as he picked up the full pan of hot water turn and dump it in the drainer. Once all the noodles were out of the pan he shook the drainer of water before putting the noodles back in the pan. I stared at him surprised. He put it back on the stove and turned to me. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You know how to cook?" I asked.

"Of course." He said looking at me weird.

"Sorry I just thought you had someone cook for you and put it in the fridge in containers." I admitted. I never would have pegged Liam as a guy who could cook.

"I do that because its easier when I work early or late." I nodded biting back a smile moving around him to finish our meal. Liam was talking to me and I wasn't going to say anything to mess it up.

Stirring the noodles and the buttery wine sauce I asked Liam to bring me the shrimp before dumping them in. As usual the shrimp cook in just a minute and our food was done. While I was stirring the pot Liam had gotten us bowls and was waiting for me to plate it. Once I was done I put mine on the dining table before grabbing a drink.

Awkwardly we sat there eating quietly not saying a word to one another. Dinner was good and I was eating mine not so graciously not like Liam. But hey when you've been outside for hours swimming it makes you hungry. The silence continued and I shifted awkwardly in my seat. I normally don't mind silence but Liam just sitting there staring at me. Clearing my throat I opened my mouth whatever came to mind coming out.

"So you played all different kinds of sports in high school?" I asked taking a sip of water. The moment I asked it out loud I knew I probably shouldn't have. Liam's face darkened and his cobalt eyes narrowing. He didn't say anything for a full minute just glared at me. "I'm not allowed to ask that?" I spoke narrowing my own eyes at him.

I hate the way he looked at me and the moment I say one little thing he flips. Was I not allowed to even try and get to know him? Atleast I was trying to make an effort unlike him. I've had enough of his looks and glares, if he wanted me to pretend like he wasn't there like he was doing to me then so be it. 

"No you are not." He spoke his voice low.

"What is that taboo or something? Am I not suppose to know you have 5 champion ship rings for different sports?"

"It is none of your concern." For some reason that made me even angrier. There goes any happy feeling I had earlier.

"How is that none of my concern Liam? I don't know you! How are we suppose to make this work if you won't even try! I do not want want to be here but at least I'm trying to do something unlike you." I stood up pushing my chair backwards across the tile. "You know what have it your way. You want to act like I don't exist than fine I'll do the same to you. I'm done trying." With that I left my empty plate on the table and walked off to my room.

Muttering under my breath at how much of an idiot Liam was I didn't notice or hear him walking after me. All I wanted to do was slap him until he got some common sense in him and he started acting like a real person, not some cold, mean, distant guy. Sure he was hot, super hot, but his personality was the thing that made him unattractive. Grumbling I reached for my door but instead of opening it my body was turned around and pushed against it. With a gasp I looked up into Liam's eyes. He towered over me pressing my body against my bedroom door with his body. A voice in the back of my head kept telling me to push him away but my arms wouldn't work nor my mouth it seemed.

"Why do you think it is your 'right' to know everything about me Jenna? Why are you so curious about me." He asked lowly staring down at me. One of his hands moved to my arm and ran up it sending shivers all over my body. "You don't seem to take no for an answer and you seem to love to flap your mouth. Didn't your parents teach you its wrong to intrude on other peoples lives!" He hissed out. I tried not to let my heart fall at his words but it did anyways. He knew I didn't have parents yet he still had to rub it in my face. Seeing my fallen face his eyes widened realizing what he just said. "Jenna-"

"Liam don't." I whispered.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to come out. I...You." He shook his head at himself. I watched him as he seemed to have an internal debate. He groaned and lowered his head, resting his forehead on my shoulder his warm breath blowing along my neck. I stiffened at the connect surprised Liam was even touching me. "What are you doing to me." I heard him whisper against my neck. If he wasn't so close to my ear I wouldn't have heard him. "I'm sorry." He said quietly before pulling away from me and walking towards his room disappearing from my view.

I stood there leaning against my door in shock. 2 times in a row Liam has said sorry to me. I stared at the spot he just occupied my mind racing. What did he mean what I have done to him? I leaned there different emotions run through my mind. I know I should be angry at him for pressing me against a door and yelling at me but I felt the opposite. My arm tingled from his touch and my heart was still racing at being so close to him. No Liam what are you doing to me?
