Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Amelia clutched the edge of the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair is a mess, her lipstick smeared but her lips looked plumper than they usually are.

She and Liam must have been kissing a lot last night for it to still look so plump, and feel so raw.

Her eyes travelled down and her heart jumps in her throat when she saw a dark purple bruise on her neck, followed by another leading downwards. 

 'Are these love bites?' She thought. 

They are not just two of them, they are three leading down to her breast.

She pushed her dress down slightly and her lips parted in shock as she stared at her bruised breasts. Liam had painted both breasts with hickies.

She was scared to look lower, having an inkling he had painted her stomach too.

While she was staring at her new skin, a knock suddenly came from the door. It's faint but it's enough to make her heart jump back in her throat. 

 "Amelia?, is it you in there?" Olivia's voice sounded. 

Amelia quickly put her dress back up properly, her heart hammering in her chest. 

She swallowed as she fixed her messy hair in order to hide the hickies Liam gave her last night, she then washed her mouth to get rid of the smeared lipstick. 

 "Ammy?" Olivia called with another knock. 

 "Yeah, I'm almost done just a sec" Amelia rushed out and fixed her dress while praying Olivia doesn't notice the bruises on her neck. 

Hoping she looked decent enough, she walked to the door and opened it. Olivia was leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door with her arms crossed. 

 "Everyone seems to have left already" She sighed, pushing off the wall, Amelia shifted out of her way. 

 "I need to pee so bad, it's like I could fill an entire bucket" She groaned and entered the bathroom swiftly. 

 "Some damn person actually vomited all over my bathroom" Amelia heard her say in annoyance. 

Amelia would have waited for her get out but right now, she's trying to avoid looking at her so she made her way downstairs. 

If upstairs was messy, then down here was worse. Amelia could barely see the floor as she tried her hardest to tip-toe around every dirty cup.

She made her way to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took out the last water bottle. She chugged it down quickly, hopping it would help with her flushed face. 

 "Up so early?" Liam's voice suddenly came from behind. 

Amelia nearly chocked on the water, gasping as she moved the bottle from from her lips. She started coughing and leaned against the counter for support. 

She looked up and her ocean blue eyes met his grey ones, her heart raced, Amelia quickly broke the eye contact. 

 "What did you do to Ammy?" Olivia said in an accusing tone as she walked into the kitchen.

 Olivia parted Amelia's back as she continued to cough, Amelia would have glared at Liam but right now she was hell bent on avoiding him, so she glared at the floor instead. 

 "I didn't do anything to kitten but greet her" Liam snorted with an eye roll and began approaching them. Amelia froze when he got near, his scent filling up her nose. 

He smelled so good, God. 

 "Alright there, kitten?" Liam said with a low chuckle, the sound sending a shot of vibration to Amelia's lower stomach. 

Fuck.

 "Yes, you just caught me off guard" Amelia answered him while still evading his stare. 

But when he brushed against her, her eyes found themselves staring at his face. She held her breath when her eyes met his, he was already staring at her.

 "I need some water" He uttered, his voice going hoarse. 

An abrupt flashback of him speaking to her in that same hoarse voice last night made Amelia bite into her bottom lip. 

Liam's gaze followed her actions and his eyes darkened. Amelia quickly averted her gaze feeling her face flush again from the sudden memory, oblivious to Liam's gaze on her lips. 

Amelia couldn't help but feel embarrassed right now, how could she have made herself get caught up in this mess.

Amelia cleared her throat, avoiding his gaze as she uttered before he opened the fridge, "I took the last bottle"

 "Is that right?" He asked smoothly. 

Suddenly Liam reached out for the bottle in her hand, his fingers brushing against hers. Amelia sucked in a breath of cold air when she felt a jolt of electricity run up her arm. 

Liam took the bottle of water from her grasp and moves away from her a little. 

 "Hey" Amelia snapped, her eyes glaring at him. 

With a smirk on his face, Liam took a swig of the water. His eyes never left hers as he gulped down the water. 

Amelia's stomach twisted. 

She turned away from him quickly, trying to compose herself, Her heart was beating furiously in her chest. God, she's done for. 

 "Liam, you're such a jerk" Olivia said like a mother hen protecting her chick, before Liam could react she smacked the bottle upwards, causing Liam to choke on the water. 

He pulled the bottle away and coughed. "What the fuck Olivia!!"

 "Serves you right" She said with an eye roll. 

She then turned her attention to Amelia, her brows furrowed. "I forgot to ask, where were you last? Didn't see you in your room and you were not in mine as well" 

Amelia's heart drops. 

She couldn't exactly tell her she was in her brother's bed. She couldn't tell that she was busy losing her virginity to her brother last night. 

Especially when he was looking at her intensely right now, Amelia swallowed harshly.

Shit.

Amelia tried to compose herself to not give herself away. Her heart was ready to jump out of her chest as she racked her brain for a plausible excuse. 

 "I uh - well the air was stuffy inside and i went out back. Kind of stayed there for a while until everyone went home. I ended up sleeping on the couch, sorry you must have been worried" Amelia said and smiled weakly, praying Olivia buys the lie.

Olivia studied her for a while, as if trying to read her thoughts. Her brows ended up furrowing even more. 

 "Why didn't you just go to your room or come to mine?" Olivia asked further.
