MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Nicholas faked a smile walking towards his grandfather, “grandpa you have nothing to stress about, mother and I were just trying to strike a conversation with Liam but you know how he is”.

Old Grayson looked between the mother and son he knew well enough what they were up to.

Mark smiled holding Liam’s shoulders “son it’s been so long you came by”.

Liam shrugged off mark’s hands resting on his shoulders, “Mr Grayson don’t you know how much I hate it whenever you touch me? don’t try it ever again!” Liam coldly uttered.

Mark forced an awkward smile taking his seat next to his father.

Angie gritted her teeth, ‘this brute doesn’t know his place in this family if only mark had gotten rid of him earlier i wouldn’t have been getting my hands dirty”.

Liam checked his wrist watch it’s been a while since he sent that text to her or was she still sleeping? he sighed. it would be better if she stayed back in the room actually.

Or else she would create a scene down here, he knew well that the instructions he gave were just wasted words, she would do the exact opposite. Crazy girl.

Nicholas and his mum sat opposite Liam, Angie’s phone vibrated, she read the text she just received with a grin.

‘this is just going to be fun’.

Soon after soft clicks on the marbled floor were heard.

Liam let out a soft breath ‘was it really necessary to wear heels? we are just having lunch down here’ he mentally screamed.

The clicks got closer till a lady came in view everyone froze in their place especially Liam, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Angie smiled in satisfaction seeing the look that crossed Liam’s face.

Her black orbs rested calmly on Liam, she was putting on a blue body hug gown with black heels.

“hello everyone” she greeted maintaining eye contact with Liam.

Nicholas was awed by the sight his mum was a genius. Old Grayson’s heart skipped a beat.

Florence knew the silence was going to last forever if she didn’t chirp in “wow Allison is that really you?” Florence pretended to be surprised.

Allison grinned walking towards Liam, she drew out a seat next to him and sat down “of course aunt, I had to come here when I found out that Liam was here” Allison commented reaching her hand to touch Liam’s fisted palm on the table.

As if stung by a insect he retracted his hand, he knew Angie and her son were up to something but who knew that it would be to this extent.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Mark knew this was his wife’s doing “Allison I thought you wouldn’t be back until you graduated from college”.

Allison picked up her cutlery seeing as the cooks were already filling the table “well uncle you see… I had to come earlier than expected because Liam and I have a long way to go, if you understand what I mean”.

She picked up a piece of steak with her fork.

Mark turned to his father, “Allison where are your parents?”.

Old Grayson asked, this setup wasn’t good and who informed Allison about Liam’s arrival? his eyes darted to the mother and son smiling at each other.

He wondered what their motive this time could be. Liam’s veins almost popped out.

Allison placed her hand on his lap “Liam aren’t you happy to see me?”.

Liam held her hand beneath the table giving it a tight squeeze “why wouldn’t I be?” Liam mumbled through gritted teeth.

Allison tried to force a smile but deep down she wanted to scream out, she felt his grip tightened luckily for her another clicking footsteps was heard.

Angie and the rest creased their brows on who that could be. only Liam knew that it was his drama queen wife that was coming.

Allison raised a brow as the lady stepped into the dining room, Nicholas heart skipped a beat she was the lady he has been looking for.

And here she was in front of him, Amelia could see the shocked looks on their faces “like seriously Liam didn’t you prep them about me? my entrance has been wasted now, all thanks to you”.

She mumbled irritably, old Grayson let out a smirk seeing the look of embarrassment that crossed past Liam’s face.

Allison was perplexed on who she was and why on earth was she addressing him so casually.

Angie got up immediately facing the strange lady “who are you? and what are you doing here?”

Amelia’s face wrinkled, she was wrong he has the same nature as his mum.

Mark smiled at Amelia “dear come and seat you don’t need to give any one an introduction”.

Amelia was moved by his kindness, she pulled out a chair sitting at the other side of Liam.

Her mouth watered by the sight of such delicacies in front of her, picking up her cutlery she dug into the food as if she had been starved for days.

Liam’s face reddened by the sight, he knew this lady was too stubborn to do as he said she would end up killing him from embarrassment.

Amelia raised her head up feeling the gaze opposite the table, she met with the pair of grey orbs staring intently at her.

He looked a bit like Liam but of course her husband was more handsome and matured “hello I guess you must be Liam’s brother, he never talks about you”. Nicholas smiled and nodded at her “yeah you are right”.

Amelia had a feeling that she had seen him somewhere but where exactly? or was it because he looked like Liam?

She brushed off the thoughts, she noticed one thing about the male’s of the family, they all had grey eyes but Liam’s eyes were a bit different from theirs maybe because it held too much mystery.

Liam leaned a bit whispering into her ears “stop embarrassing me!” he scolded.

Allison flew up immediately dropping her cutlery in the process “alright that’s it! will you all just sit here and pretend as if a stranger didn’t just walk in here?”

They were startled by her outburst, Amelia tapped her head slightly standing up she walked towards Allison.

“I’m sorry I didn’t see you there but I’m not a stranger”.

Allison felt threatened by the sarcasm evident in Amelia’s voice.

The rest were piqued by the live drama going on in front of them. “I’m Amelia, Amelia Grayson” Amelia replied stretching her hands forward for a handshake.

Everyone dropped their cutleries as Amelia spoke. Allison narrowed her eyes “Grayson? are you a long distant family member? I haven’t heard of you before!”.

“No I’m Liam’s wife!”.
