The baby contract novel Chapter 12

     Carla's face became red with embarrassment and she looked away. She knew Jenny was right, she had never done those things she mentioned. She gave up verbal fight with Jenny, knowing she couldn't win against her more sophisticated friend. 

   She sighed and gave Jenny a long look " Okay, i give up "

   Jenny laughed harder " Best decision you've made in a day " 

   She clapped her hands in excitement and added " I can't wait to see the look on Liam's face when he finally sees you! " She exclaimed. 

  " Get away from me! " Carla yelled when Jenny engulfed her in a tight hug. Jenny finally released her and Carla glared at her as she straightened her gown. The doorbell rang that moment and Jenny whooped in excitement. 

  " Finally, he's here! " She screamed and pushed Carla towards the door. 

   Carla felt her heartbeat quicken in fear and excitement mixed together to become anxiety. Her palms had gotten wet as she clenched her hands in fists. 

  " Come on! " Jenny shouted again 

  Carla got her acts together and walked towards the door. The bell rang the second time and she took a deep breath. 

  She opened the door and Liam started to say Hi but the words hung up in his throat as he looked at her speechlessly. Damn! Who was this stunning beauty before him? He asked himself in wonder. She looked so beautiful that he almost didn't recognize her.The dress... Fuck, the dress she wore clung to her like second skin and all her womanly curves were on display for him. His little friend down there started to peck up and he groaned inwardly. 

   Behind them, Jenny folded her hands under her breasts and watched the scene before her happily. It was obvious Liam was already taken with Carla in the short time they met and she was pretty sure Carla felt the same. Knowing her friend for who she was, Carla wouldn't admit it to herself. 

  Carla suddenly felt hot under Liam's pinned gaze on her. He was staring at her with something like hunger and lust, it was written so clearly in his eyes. For once, she was glad she had dressed up so prettily tonight. She checked him out too, he was doing the same so why couldn't she? 

  He looked like a ruthless and arrogant billionaire in his black suit and his bulging muscles rippled with strength from beneath. Of course he looked drop dead gorgeous, she wouldn't deny that. His hair was combed back, giving him a boyish look. He came out of the spell that seemed to have been casted on them the minute they set eyes on each other. 

  He smirked " Take a picture, would last longer princess " He said, looking down at her with a wink. 

  Carla snapped out of her dazed look and blushed at being caught red handed ogling him. 

  " Hi " She said softly, her cheeks a rosy shade. 

  He leaned down to her eye level and whispered into her ears " I must say you look stunning tonight, princess "

  Carla became a pudding of blush right there and her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink. 

  " Thank you " She whispered. 

  " You're not bad yourself " She complimented him too and looked away quickly. 

  His eyes twinkled " You think so? " 

  She nodded and he smiled so widely that his dimples showed. She was just so cool tonight, he thought. It seemed she had locked up her sassy attitude, he wouldn't like that. Surprisingly, he liked the saucy Carla more than this quiet one. Jenny thought it was high time she announced her presence because the couple seemed to be lost in their own world. It was glaringly obvious that were attracted to each other but Jenny was willing to wait patiently for Carla to discover her feelings for the guy. 

  She coughed discreetly " Are you guys aware I'm still here? "

  " I never knew you were here in the first place " Carla retorted. 

  Jenny rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Liam who flashed her a smile. 

  She smiled back " Hi, I'm Jenny, Carla's friend. May I know who you are? " Of course she knew who he was, she just wanted to hear him speak. She had managed to control her excitement on seeing him, the famous Liam Blake she had dreamt of meeting one day. 

  " I'm Liam, Liam Blake " He answered, giving her another one of his charming smiles. 

  Her eyes widened " Oh! It's real pleasure to meet you! " She pulled him into a brief embrace.
