Roses and Thorns
Amazing. (49th Chapter)
.........................
Janelle's POV:
.........................
“Jan, This is our stop. The boys will be heading back to the hotel.” I nod to Liam’s words admiring the French architecture of the house. It looks posh, elegant even. I don’t really have words to describe it, but at the same time; I wonder how Liam is related to this house. “Take care of yourself, love.” Harry tells me, once I step down of the minivan.
“Let’s go.” Liam speaks once he takes my two bags out, gesturing to the house. I haven’t updated myself on my recent feelings and thoughts, since the day Niall came to London. But to sum it up, I’m happy and scared at the same time. I mean, it’s difficult to be the dominant person in stopping all of this. But the scariest part is when my stepparents and Perrie see me.
Once Liam rings the doorbell, a butler emerges from the inside. “(He gives him a smile) Mr. Payne, its so good to see you after a long while. Please, hand me the bags and come in.” I furrow my eyebrows at Liam, but he only sends me a quick grin; this is getting more curious by the second. We walk through the incredible hallway, as we pass by valuable items.
But the most breathtaking object that caught my eye, is the huge crystal chandelier. The expensive rocks shine, while the light strikes them in a pilgrim matter. “(I whisper) Amazing.” Liam chuckles beside me, as he sits on one of the stylish sofas. I stare at him, but he doesn’t talk; all he does is pat the seat beside him for my sake.
“Lee boy! (She hugs him warmly, and speaks) I thought you would never give me a visit while you’re in my country’s territory.” He laughs, departing the hug from the sophisticated lady. She’s at least forty years old, but the way she’s presented makes age an unnoticed difference. She looks fancy, royalty material even.
But at the same time, her modesty and humbleness contrast how she looks like. I now can agree that looks are deceiving indeed. “Ah! (She exclaims with a polite grin) You must be Janelle. (She gives me a light hug, and proceeds) I’ve been expecting you since morning. But Lee never told me when you’re flight will arrive.”
“(I smile back, sitting down) Well, to be honest I didn’t even know that I’ll end up here. I love your house, and all of your priceless antiques are very complimentary to the eye of the watcher.” She raises her eyebrow, looking at me in an impressed matter. “(She looks at Liam and jokes lightly) Silly boy, why haven’t you told me that she’s as pretty as she speaks?”
Liam gushes beside me, then replies: “Sorry Aunt Clara, I guess it slipped.” Aunt? As in Liam’s aunt? Was she the same aunt that was on our flight to Paris? “How’s Suzy doing?” Liam asks, at the same time that the butler serves tea to us three. “She’s still at school darling, will you be around till she’s back from kindergarten?”
Liam nods politely, and I find the urge to speak: “I’ve met her on the plane. She's so adorable.” Clara nods to me with an awe feature, while her posture straightens. “Now, what is it that you wanted me to help your friend over here?”
Liam hesitates, then replies: “If its not a bother aunt Clara. Janelle needs a place to stay for two days. (Liam sighs in excitement, then proceeds) She needs to be taken care of for the wedding. (He explains clearly) You know, such as hair, makeup, a dress too.”
His aunt’s eyes widen, and I fear that she may not want to accept. Who could blame her? We have just been acquainted, and she may not like the feeling of having me over. But if that’s the case, then I guess I have nowhere else to stay for today and tomorrow.
