We are finally here at the restaurant

I thought I might die due embarrassment in the car . Why did he have to read that

"Let's go?" Liam's voice snaps me out . I nod and we start to walk towards the restaurant, "you like Italian restaurants?" He asks , I shake my head "not a big fan, I like the food but only a few"

"Then why did you select this restaurant?" He questions

I sigh , well this is not my choice "Cami selected this . And we all agreed" I look at Liam, he is just looking straight forward, he has been avoiding eye contact with me since we arrived here. Did he feel uncomfortable with what I said? Did I say something wrong

"Hm, what about you? Do you like Italian food?" I ask trying to get his attention

"They are nice . I am not a picky eater "His reply gave me a bit of relief because we brought him here to appreciate his help but if he didn't like the food then it's a waste "what do you wanna eat here?"

I think for a minute and only one answer comes to my mind "pizza!" and that's when he finally looked at me and smiled "pizza?" He confirms and I nod "yes it's the best , it's my companion for celebrations and also for the sad days" I take a pause . I am quite a few steps ahead of him, I turn around and say "oh and ice cream too! I love both of these"

He stops for a minute and chuckles "so pizza and ice cream ? Noted"

We both enter the restaurant and it's filled with people. They seem to be enjoying the food but I can't locate Cami and others , they said they will reserve the table but where. I quickly grab my phone and call her

"Whom are you calling?" Liam asks

"Cami. I can't spot them" I say and he just hums in response. He was being so chatty in the car what happened now

"Hey Stella . Are you here?" Cami calls out

"Oh yes . But where are you guys I can't see you" I reply

"At the first floor, you will see us"

"Okay" I say and hang up the phone

"Let's go, they are on the first floor " Liam nods and follows me upstairs. I look around and see Cami waving at me . I smile and wave at her back and walk towards the table. Cami , Zuri, Max and Julian are present there already. They aren't looking at me but looking at Liam behind me. "Sorry we are late" I say putting my bag aside and sitting beside Zuri

"Wow you actually brought him? Well done" Zuri whispers to me and giggles . Liam greets Cami and Max but Julian? They don't even make eye contact. Liam looks at Zuri and smiles"it's been a while" he says to Zuri

"Yep . How are you doing?" Zuri asks

"As you can see" he replies sitting opposite to me "so you guys scored the top rank?" Liam speaks
