Of all the thoughts that had ran through her mind while she had driven to Liam’s house earlier today, never did it occur to her that she would end up in bed with him but here she was, in his arms and it felt like the safest place to be, she couldn’t deny that he made her feel safe, but again, this shouldn’t be it, they hadn’t even finished talking about the baby and she had jumped in bed with him, not that she regretted that they got in bed, no, she could no longer deny that Liam did things to her that no man had ever done, she wanted him when she had seen him at Emily’s engagement party when he had kissed her, she couldn’t let go and her hormones made it even worse.She got off the bed and picked up her clothes from where she had dropped them when she had taken them off, he really made her take off everything in front of him, it had been pure torture doing that when his eyes had been on her, she had almost melted under his intense gaze and had been all wet and bothered by the time sh
“I know Liam, I get what you mean, and yes, I can’t deny that I get out of hand when I want what I want but then, it is a distraction,”“How so? How is it a distraction?”He asked and she shook her head, he was a lost cause and she couldn’t get him to see reasons as to why they need to be professional about this and not jump on each other every damn minute.“Okay, let’s drop this and focus on the main issues here,”“Okay, which is?”He asked, folding his hands over his naked chest and looking at her.“Can you just put your shirt on? It is distracting,”She said pointing at his chest, he chuckled.“I am glad it distracts you, that’s what I want,”He said instead of putting on his shirt as she told him to, he was wild, she shook her head to clear the thoughts forming there and concentrated on the issue on the ground which is them finding a way to coexist as parents.“So? What do we do now?”She asked the question that had been on her mind, of course, she already had her plans, which she
“Thanks, but you haven’t answered my first question.She said dropping the bag of chocolates, it was too early for it anyway.“What question?”He asked as he took a seat.“I asked about Kristen, I thought you would bring her along, we agreed that I will be a part of her life and I want to build a close relationship with her again, I was excited to see her today and you didn’t bring her,”She let out in disappointment.“Oh, I am sorry, she is with my older sisters they are having a picnic and wanted her to come along, she has been at my parent’s house since the day you came, I am coming from there too, I am not trying to keep her away from you, I would have brought her along but they insisted that she stayed over for the picnic and Kristen looked really happy to be with them so I left her.”He revealed picking up her photo book which was on the table next to him, she was jealous of how fast Kristen adapted to his family, she hoped they will be close too.“Don’t be upset, you will see h
Liam silently watched her, she seemed really pissed and uncomfortable, he should never have dumped it on her so soon.“Love is not a bad thing Ruby,”He said after a while, he didn’t know why he was still pushing it but he had to.“I never said it was, don’t get me wrong here, I am just saying it is not for me, so don’t say it to me,”She replied.“Wow, all I said was I love you and you have a lot of things to say and none of them is nice, you don’t even want to consider marriage to me, am I really that bad?”He questioned, he sounded pathetic even to his own ears.“Liam, don’t say things like that to me, I already told you, I don’t want your love, I don’t want to marry you, all I want is to find a way to be able to be parents to our children, anything else that you have to offer, I don’t want it, please respect my wish in this, I beg you,”She said, she looked like she didn’t want to even be having this conversation, well, he was done here too, there was no point dragging the issue r
“Where are the older ones?”He noticed the absence of the teenagers among them, of course, he didn’t expect to see them in a nursery but they weren’t in the house either, he would have known if they were in the house, they were always so loud even while playing games.“I think they said something about ice cream date,”One of the nannies revealed.“Oh, okay, thank you for watching the kids, I will leave now,”He said as he handed Kristen back to one of them, she didn’t even protest, she was clearly having fun with her cousins, he stepped out of the nursery and wanted to go to his room, he heard his sisters laughing in the living room and decided to go see what was up.“I can’t believe you got pregnant just cuz of that,”Lilac said as he entered the living room, wow, who was pregnant again? There were already too many kids.“Who is pregnant?”He asked.“Nancy!”They chorused and he turned to her, she had such a big smile.“CY? You have four kids already, that’s a lot,”He scolded and t
After he ran away from his parent’s house, he called Ruby, he expected her to tell him she was at work but she said she was home and when he requested to come over, she didn’t say no, he stopped by a cake show on his way to her house and got her chocolate cake, he had seen her fridge the other day and knew she liked chocolate and everything related to it.“You are here early, we were just talking about thirty minutes ago, were you already on your way here?”She asked in greeting when he got to her house, he wanted to hug her but settled for just touching her tummy where his baby lived.“Yeah, I have something to talk to you about,”He said walking into the house and dropping the cake on the table.“I got you cake,”He pointed out and she smiled.“Thanks, so what do you want to talk to me about?”She asked, sitting down.“My family wants to meet with you, I told them about us,”He explained expecting the worse reaction from her.“Okay,”Was all she said.“Okay? Is that all you are goin
Ruby nervously stared at the mirror, she was meeting Liam’s family today and she was nervous, she didn’t know what to expect, she has done a little research on the family and they all seem like they were nice people but she couldn’t be sure, this was a different situation, Liam might have been acceptable but his family may have a different viewpoint, as much as she tried not to overthink, it just didn’t work.“Baby? I am here, are you ready?”Liam's voice came from downstairs, she gave him her lock password so he could enter when he came around, she quickly checked herself in the mirror one last time before picking up her bag and going downstairs.“Hi, I am ready,”She said as she came down to him, he was staring at her weirdly.“What? Do I have something on my face?”She asked, touching her face.“Yes, you do,”“What’s that?”“Beauty,”He responded and she rolled her eyes at him, what the heck had she been expecting him to say? The guy was hopeless.“Let’s just go, you are crazy,”Sh
“Welcome home my dear,”Liam’s mom said hugging her last, she felt her motherly love and protection and almost teared up.“Thank you so much, ma’am,”“It’s mom to you, okay?”She corrected and Ruby nodded.“I told all of you to stay inside and wait,”A deep voice said and she looked up to see an older version of Liam standing in the distance, Liam pulled her from his mom and walked towards him, once again, she got a little bit scared but her fear went away when the older man smiled brightly and opened his arms wide to welcome them.“Welcome home,”He said hugging both her and Liam at the same time, this wasn’t what she had expected, how could they be so nice? She must be imagining this or maybe she was dreaming it.“Dad! You finally came back? Welcome too, meet Ruby, I am sure they have already filled you in?”Liam said in a cheerful tune, he must really be close to his dad for him to talk so openly and calmly with him.“Yes, they have and I can say you have finally done something I w
