“I’m starting to think I will never give up on that. So, yes, when you are ready, or at least when I suspect you are ready, I will kiss you again and we will see what happens.”
She sighed.
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
Chapter 20
Week8–Wednesday
Isabella
I settled myself in Liam’s bed, notebook in hand. Although I was annoyed at the no-kissing rule, I did honor it. Sure, I felt nothing when he kissed me, but it was still nice to kiss someone, and I sure as Hades wasn’t going to make it easy on him.
“Okay, I’m ready.”
Liam rolled his eyes.
“Why, exactly, is the couch insufficient?”
“Your bed is more comfortable.”
He eyed me suspiciously but gave in and joined me on the bed. Smiling, I looked at him expectedly.
“What is that look about? I feel like I should know what you are expecting from me, but I’m a bit lost.”
Laughing, I poised my pen, prepared to write.
“I’m ready. Tell me the plan to heal my heart. It better be good. There is a lot riding on this.”
Liam looked at me, exasperated.
“No pressure.”
I grinned.
“Apparently, my broken heart is costing me our spark right now. I’d like to start working on that right away.”
His glance slid my way.
“You know, it’s just a theory right now, right? Like… we could mend your heart a million times and there still might not be a spark.”
“Then at least I’ll have a heart to give to someone else.”
Liam flinched.
“Ouch! Let’s not go breaking my heart trying to heal yours.”
I hit him with a pillow.
“What? I mean, at some point we will cry uncle. We both know that a relationship can’t succeed if there isn’t some physical pleasure involved, no matter how much we wish it otherwise.”
This did not seem to make him feel any better, but he just nodded and picked up his phone.
“Fine, let’s do this, Bianco. Step one: Change the song playing in your head every day.”
He hit a button on his phone and “A Little Bit Yours” started playing.
