“What did you just call her?” That vein at the top of Liam’s head, the one that sticks out whenever he’s annoyed, it’s pulsing now.
“I saidget rid of the groupie. We need to talk,” she repeats.
“First, she’s not a fucking groupie. Second, I have nothing to talk to you about.” Liam holds the door to his room wide open. I walk towards it, almost make my way through too, but he stops me. “Don’t leave,” he says. He’s pleading with me, begging me to stay. I can see it in his eyes. So I hang back. “Mom, you need to go.”
“You haven’t answered my calls or messages. Matty said you won’t tell him what your problem is.”
“My problem? You want to know whatmyfucking problem is? You. You’re the fucking problem. Now, get the fuck out of my room and out of my life,” Liam yells.
I hear some doors open and close. Great, the whole team is on this level. But it’s not the whole team that comes to the door. It’s Gray and Luke.
“What the fuck is going on?” Gray asks.
“His mother turned up and won’t leave,” I tell my brother.
“Liam, this isn’t like you. What’s going on? What happened?” his mother asks. “Is it her? Did you let some bitch sink their claws into you? Is that what this is?”
“What the fuck did you just say?”Thiscomes from Gray as he pushes his way past me and into the room.
“Gray, stop. Leave it. This isn’t our business.” I pull on his arm.
“Anyone who talks shit about you, Lia, makes it my fucking business,” he growls.
“Oh, great, you picked a good one there, son. She’s probably fucking the whole team behind your back,” his mother says, and my mouth hangs open in shock.
“Excuse me? You don’t even know me. I work for the team. I’m not sleeping with the players. You want your son to talk to you? Maybe you should have thought about that before you fucked his goddamn coach. What kind of mother does that? He’s not ready to talk to you. You need to give him space. Then, maybe one day, you’ll be lucky enough to earn his forgiveness. But, honestly, now that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you myself, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Liam is a good guy, which is an anomaly, considering he was raised by someone like you,” I say, pointing back to Liam. I’m furious right now. How dare she come in here and cause problems for him. “You need to leave before I have security drag you out.”
Liam steps up next to me. I didn’t realize I’d moved and am now facing off with his mother. “Aliyah, shit. It’s okay,” he whispers so only I can hear him.
“No, it’s not okay, Liam. You’ve worked fucking hard to overcome the image you only had because of somethingshedid. I won’t let her come in here and talk shit. I won’t let her come back into your life just to mess it up.”
“Okay, I think it’s time you leave,” my father’s voice comes from behind me.
Gray and Luke close in on Liam’s mother. “Come on, we’ll walk you out,” Gray says to her in that tone that stresses it’s not a suggestion but an order.
“Liam, you need to talk to me. We can fix this. I didn’t mean to. It just happened,” she says.
“You don’t just accidentally fall onto my coach’s dick, Mom,” Liam tells her.
“That’s why you beat the shit out of him?” my father asks, as Gray and Luke escort Liam’s mother down the hall. The door shuts behind them, and then I’m left in the room with the two people I’d like to keep as far apart as possible. My father and the guy who, only minutes ago, was giving me a mind-blowing orgasm. “Is there a reason my daughter is in your hotel room, Mr. King?” Dad prompts, and I pray for the floor to swallow me whole.
Please, for the love of God, now would be a good time for an earthquake or some other form of natural disaster.
“We were working, going over the schedule for the next few weeks, Daddy,” I say.
My father looks at me, and then at Liam. “Is that true?”
My eyes bore into Liam’s profile.Please just lie. Just go along with it.That’s the message I’m trying to get across, but I can tell by the look on his face that he’s about to do the exact opposite.
“No, sir,” Liam says.
“Then what exactly is my daughter doing in your room?” my dad repeats.
“We’re dating, been dating for a few weeks now,” Liam says.
I step in front of him, like I’m enough to protect him from whatever my father has in mind. “Daddy, I can explain…” I say.
“You can explain? How, Aliyah, with more lies?”
