*couldn't think of a good title

Liam's POV:

She sleeps on the passenger seat of my car after being in my car for five minutes. My ex used to snore,talk in her sleep and frequently move in different positions which used to annoy the hell out of me.

I have no idea why but, something about her make me feel a certain way i've never felt before. Something about the night of the party, shown light on her. That night no girls seemed to attract me except for her. No matter how I tried to look away at that ball, my eyes just kept finding her existence in the crowded room.

When the guy from the ball spoke to her, I felt like boiling up, I felt liking punch him & my eyes couldn't look away but stay glued at the both of them.

When she agreed to dance with me yesterday night, I felt..true happiness. Not the kind of happiness I felt when I find a way to make Malia feel angry or sad. Not the kind of happiness I felt when I get an A in my school tests without studying. Not the same happiness as when my mother and Tony fail to catch me sneaking out the house during my grounding days.It's been a while since, I've felt that emotion. I'll be the first to say that it felt weird and found after long years.Her smile was contagious and no matter how I tried to keep a straight face or deny the feelings, she broke my walls.

Malia wakes up and looks around like a clueless child. She yawns and rubs her eyes. When she sees me she frowns.

"We're still here?" she says in her morning voice.

I nod my head and continue to drive in the road glimpsing at her every few seconds.

Malia's POV:

"Yes but, you woke up just in time." he says and then turns the corner to park at Starlight's coffee & breakfast inn.

He takes the key out of the car and puts it in the back of his jean's pocket. He opens his side of the door and when I open mine he persuaded me to close my side.

Confused, I slowly did and waited for him to tell me why but, all he did was give me his signature smirk and get out the car, closing the door. Just when I was about to curse him, he opens my side of the door.

I get out the car and look at him shocked. Who gave him the nice potion last night because, before I remember him as a guy with a wicked soul.

"I know what you're thinking Malia. It's pretty rare to catch me being sincere and shit but, after last night i'm going to try being nice to you. I'll prove it to you." he closes the door.

I awkwardly walk beside him to the coffee shop. I don't know how to feel. I've never heard him day such a thing to me.

When we make it to the coffee shop, we sat on table number six. A girl around our age emerge in our table with a pen and notepad.

She asks him what he wanted and bites her lip seductively. He looks at the menu.

"..I'll have the ham and cheese breakfast roll ups with scrambled eggs &..iced coffee."

She writes it down her notepad.
"Is that all?" she asks completely ignoring my presence.

"Well you didn't bother to ask her?"

She looks at me, blinks a couple times and then gapes.

"O-oh, i'm sorry. I didn't see you there."

I roll my eyes. I know darn well she saw both of us enter at the same time. That explains why she came her immediately as our tush felt the chair of the restaurant.

I look at the menu.
"..I'll have the red velvet waffles.. & chocolate chip Frappuchino."

She writes it down.

"I'll be back with your order handsome." she winks at him and walks away with lithe emphasizing every movement in her body.

He gazes at her and then back at me smiling.

"She's pretty."

It felt like bullets were shot at my heart. I don't know why but, when he said that all my confidence and self esteem hit rock bottom. She looked nothing like me and our skin colours were contrast from each other.

I faked a smile. "Yeah. She is."

He then starts laughing as if I said the most funniest thing in the world. I literally only said three words.

"What is so funny?" I scowl.

"I was just fucking with you Malia. Your reaction when I said that was priceless. I didn't know you had it in you Miss. Luak but, you were jealous."

I scoff. "Me?Jealous?Psssh... I don't get jealous."

He purse his lips. "Okay."

"I don't. How do you know my last name?"
I say changing the subject.

He gives me his million dollar smile. "The day when I used your phone while driving to the park, the last name of your Spotify username was Luak so, I assume that as your last name."
I nod my head understanding.

"Back, to your jealousy's topic. I was just playing. She may be pretty but, don't shun your own."

It took me a moment to register what he was telling me. He is basically saying that i'm not ugly. I look down at my shoes and my stomach felt funny.

"Thank you." I said.

He uses his point finger to tip my head up to his eye level.

"Did you hear me?" he asks softly.

"Mmmhm."

He tilts his head and looks at my lips. We were interrupted when the the girl comes back with our food.

"Here is your cheese breakfast roll ups with scrambled eggs & iced coffee." she says placing his order in front of him. He thanks her. She puts my order on a tray and slide it to me.

"Soo mystery boy, are you taken?" she asks.

I look at him, her, and then the ground. He is single so, I guess he can have her number. They'll look cute together. I can feel him peering at me.

"Yes, actually I am. By this young beautiful girl in front of me."I quickly lift my head up surprise and confused as to who he was speaking of. I look back and it was an elderly woman sipping on her tea so, obviously it wasn't her. They both look at me. Asshole was smiling while the girl look at me with disgust.

"Me?" I ask pointing at my chest.

He chuckles.
"She's got jokes if you couldn't already tell."

She looks at him disappointed and then walks away.

Finally.

"Are you crazy? And for the last time: We Are not dating."

He stabs his fork to his eggs and bites into it. He shrugs his shoulder. "I know."

"Then why do you claim that we are? Before, yesterday you made fun of me."

He puts his fork down and grabs my had from underneath the table.

"There's something about you Malia. Something that catches my eyes. And i'm not trying to get rid of these feelings anytime soon."

***
After half an hour of speaking with him and being comfortable again he drives me back to the hotel.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask him.

He takes the key out of his car. "Sure." he smiles which almost melted my heart.

It's something i've been thinking about for weeks. The tension between everyone and Claudia. How they can't all be in the same room & laugh about the same subject. I want to know why glares, mumbles under breaths, and disgusts are given to her.

"Why do you and your family hate Claudia so much?"

His smile drops.
