Chapter 5 Welcome To My Life

Liam thought for a moment and said, "What are your conditions?"

"First, I will stay in a separate room. Second, You have to allow my friend, Anna to visit your place anytime. Third and last, You will never interfere in my private matters." She stated her conditions.

"I accept all your conditions." He stared into her eyes. She didn't expect him to easily accept all her conditions. "Okay then, I will shift at your place on the weekend."

"You will not regret it." He said, confidently.

Mahika was packing her bags to move-in with Liam. Anna came inside her room with two cups of coffee. She placed the tray on the bed. "Are you ready to move-in with him?"

Mahika shook her head, placing a dress inside the bag. "I am still not sure if it's a good decision or not. I think it's going to be full of surprises." She closed her bag, and picked up the cup of coffee.

"You're going to be fine. Imagine the life and popularity you will be getting as his girlfriend." Anna took a sip of her coffee.

Mahika pursed her lips together. "Don't address me as his girlfriend. I am Mahika. That's my only identity. I don't love him, and I don't want my identity to be lost while being known as his girlfriend.

"But I can feel that you will fall in love with him and will love to be addressed as his girlfriend in the future." Anna teased her.

"Have you seen the future?" Mahika arched her eyebrow.

"No."

"Then how can you say that I will fall in love with him?" She placed the cup back on the tray, finishing her coffee.

"You will see." Anna picked up the tray from the bed and left her room, giving her stuff to think about.

"What if I really fell in love with him?" She thought, then shook her head. "No Mahika, you will not fall in love with him. You're just going to live with him to stop him from continuously following you. You have to focus on your career, and on building your own identity."

Liam came to her apartment to pick her up. He rang the doorbell. Anna opened the door. She forgot to invite him inside and took in his appearance, looking at him from head to toe. He was looking handsome in an all black look.

"Anna, who is..." Mahika stopped where she was standing when she saw Liam. Anna moved her eyes from Liam, hearing Mahika's voice. She moved away from the door to allow Liam to enter inside. He hugged Mahika. "Are you ready to leave?"

"Yeah, I will go and grab my bags." Mahika went inside her room, and came back with her bags.

Liam took her bags from her. "I will handle these. I am waiting for you downstairs." He said to Mahika, and went out of the apartment.

Anna hugged Mahika. "I can see he is sincere. Make it work out with him. Give love a chance." Mahika nodded, and moved out of the apartment.

Liam smiled, seeing her coming close to him. He opened the door of the passenger seat for her. "Welcome to my life."

She didn't say anything, and sat inside the car. He closed the door with a smile. "This attitude suits Liam Jackson's girlfriend."

He sat beside her, and started driving the car. The car entered the basement of a huge building. Mahika saw through the window that lots of expensive cars were parked there.

Liam stopped the car, and stepped out of it. He opened the door for her, moving to her side. She came out of the car, while looking at her surroundings.

Liam held her hand, taking her in the lift. The lift opened, reaching the top floor and he walked inside his penthouse with her. She was looking at the interiors of his luxurious penthouse. He noticed her, and smiled. "This is yours too now. Let's take you to your room."

He took her upstairs, and opened the door of the room on the right side of the stairs. "This is your room."

"Where's your room?" She asked him, and he raised his eyebrows. "I thought you wanted a separate room? Now you're asking about my bedroom. Wanna share my room with me?"

She rolled her eyes. "I was just asking so I can easily find you if I need something from you."

He placed his hands on the opened door of the room, and trapped her between the door and his body. The fragrance of his expensive cologne hit her nostrils. "Wha...what are yo...you trying to do?"

He dipped his face in the crook of her neck, and she felt her heartbeat increasing. He placed a gentle kiss on her neck before moving away. He stared into her brown eyes as she gulped nervously.

He moved away from her and went downstairs. She sighed, going inside the room. Every corner of her room was shouting luxuriousness. She sat on the queen size bed with a soft mattress and looked at the wall-mounted TV which was right in front of the bed.

She was about to go near the huge glass window when someone knocked on the door. She opened it, only to find a servant standing there with her bags. "Madam, Here are your bags, and Sir is waiting for you downstairs."

"Okay, I am coming." She kept her luggage in the room, and went downstairs. She found Liam sitting on the sofa, with a cup of coffee in his hands. She sat opposite him. He picked up the cup from the table, and gave it to her. "I wanted to enjoy some time with you. Can you come and sit beside me?"

She sat beside him. He held her hand. "I am feeling very happy to have you with me here."

She stared at the hold of his hand on hers. She wanted to remove her hand from his hold, but decided against it, noticing his happiness. "I want to ask you something." She took a sip of her coffee.

"Sure, ask."

"You love me. I understand this, but why did you ask me to move-in with you this early?" He left her hand, hearing her question and touched his forehead.
