Coming Home to You Fifty Three
DELILAH "Are you sure you don't want to go to the Stones shoot today?" Tessa asks me hesitantly for the fifth time in an hour. "Of course I'm sure. That would be so incredibly awkward. We both know what kind of questions they would ask and we both know what kind of photos they are after. I can't even manage to send him a text to apologize. There's no way I'd make it through the interview." I explain again. Tessa frowns, "You should just talk to him Lilah. You're both suffering and you don't have to be. You know he will forgive you.""You don't understand." She keeps pressuring me to try to talk to him, but I was such a bitch that night. I didn't even give him a chance to explain. He's better off without me. I'm sure he's found someone to distract himself with by now anyway. I check my phone again and there's a message from my dad, but still no word from him. He must be over my bullshit. He hasn't even tried to call or text me since the party on Christmas Eve. I can't really blame

LIAM"Are you sure she's coming tonight?" I ask Ty for the hundredth time impatiently tapping my foot on the tile floor.He nods, a sympathetic smile on his face. "Tessa said they'd be here. You know how they are. They are probably still getting ready. You should have a drink and relax. You're not doing yourself any favors getting all wound up like this."I roll my eyes at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one in love with someone who's constantly running away from you. I need some kind of tracking device for her." I joke and Ty raises his brows at me questioningly. "I'm not sure that joke would go over well." He states glancing around the room. These celebrity parties are always well attended and tonight is no different. Dozens of actors, musicians, and celebrities mingling together to bring in the New Year. "Don't look now, but they just walked in." He whispers his eyes motioning behind me. Of course I do exactly what he says not to do and my eyes instantly lock with her go

DELILAH Before I realize it, Liam has me pinned between his hard body and the bar. His lips just inches away from mine. "What if I don't want you to kiss me?" I ask coyly glancing from his hazel eyes back to his soft lips. I so want him to kiss me right now. My heart is pounding in my chest and I wonder if he can tell just how badly I want it.Liam's breath hitches as he leans in, "Dels," he whispers, his voice husky. My knees feel shaky and I'm pretty sure that if it weren't for the bar behind me, I'd be a puddle of mush on the floor by now. His lips barely graze mine and as I lean in to close the distance he pulls back, his eyes full of mischief. My jaw drops and I stare at him in disbelief. I can barely form a coherent sentence. "Wha... Why did you pull away?" I manage to mutter as he eyes me amused."You said you didn't want me to kiss you. I was just following orders." He places his hands on my hips, his fingers caressing the exposed part of my back where my dress dips down low.
Coming Home to You Fifty Six
LIAM The huge rush that I get when I walk out onto the stage for a show never gets old. My adrenaline is pumping when I look out into the crowd and it's only heightened when I feel her brown eyes on me from the side of the stage. I turn my head raking my eyes over her one last time before I have to divert my attention to the crowd of people screaming our names in front of me. I'll have her screaming my name later. Damn, she looks so good tonight, I could eat her. There is actually nothing that I'd rather do at the moment. I feel myself getting more excited than I need to be in front of all these people and give her a wink before forcing myself to pull my eyes off her. "Hey New York! Are you ready to party? How about we play you some tunes?" My questions are immediately answered with cheers, whistling, and camera flashes as I put the microphone back into the stand and swing my guitar around to begin playing. "Alright then. My boys are a bit hungover from last night, so let's show the

DELILAHWe sat at the bar for hours tossing back shots and drinking together before I finally got the nerve to ask him on our way to my room. "Was that little stunt you pulled tonight completely necessary?" I cock my eyebrow and pucker my lips as I wait to hear him explain his actions earlier. "I wasn't running off.""I'm sorry babe. You weren't where you said you'd be and I saw you by the exit and I don't know. I just panicked." His words slurring a bit as he runs his hand through his hair and then takes my hand in his and squeezes. "I thought you were taking off and I reacted before thinking. I'm sorry."I shake my head at him playfully. "You owe me big time, calling me out in front of all those fans and celebrities." I continue walking down the lit corridor until we arrive at my room. I turn toward him to see him awkwardly standing with his hands in his pockets, unsure of his next move. Smiling I reach for my room key in my bag and take it out to tap it against the lock. "Well, thi

DELILAH A knock on the door wakes me from my drunken slumber. I roll over and notice that Liam's not in the bed anymore and all of his belongings are gone. Strange. I could have swore he stayed the night. Why would he sneak out in the middle of the night without saying bye? Did I do something to upset him? I climb out of bed and make my way to the door cracking it open to see who is knocking."Hey Tessa. Why are you waking me up so early?" I grumble. "It's not early Lilah. It's almost noon. You need to shower and get ready to host the New Years Eve party." She smiles at me, before glancing around the room in confusion. "Is Liam not here? I thought you two made up last night." "I guess he didn't come back with me last night. I'm not sure, things are a bit hazy." "Huh, well anyway you need to get showered and then we can grab some brunch before we head over to the party." I nod and head to the bathroom to get ready. Maybe a hot shower will help me remember last nights events a bit b
Coming Home to You Fifty Nine
DELILAH I haven't heard from Liam at all today, which is strange considering he was all over me last night. I've been replaying last nights events in my mind and I don't remember anything happening that would have made him upset with me. It's New Years Eve and we are supposed to be hosting a party together in a few hours. I'm hoping it won't be awkward but at this point I'm pretty annoyed that he hasn't even attempted to talk to me or even sent me a text after sneaking out of my room early this morning. He must have changed his mind.After spending an hour with hair and makeup Tessa and I are all dolled up and ready for tonight's shenanigans. The event is being held on top of a fancy hotel in Time's Square. The place is decked out in gold trimmed everything, looking extremely extravagant and festive. When we arrive the guys are already testing out their microphones and chatting with the camera crew. Liam notices me first nodding in my direction, but makes no attempt to talk to me. T

LIAM "Are you two officially back together?" A reporter chirps shoving her recorder in our faces after we just finished filming a segment for the live show. I look at Delilah, wondering what she's thinking as I reply, "We're still working things out." Dels frowns at my response as the reporter steps in closer. "That's too bad. So who will you be kissing at midnight then?" She asks winking at me and stepping in closer. "I'm free." She mentions, raising a brow at Dels. I'm not sure if that comment was meant for me or Delilah at this point, but I'm not taking any chances. I take Delilah's hand and thread my fingers with hers before quickly responding. "I can say with certainty that if I'm not kissing this amazing girl at midnight, I most definitely will not be kissing anyone else." I look hopefully into those honey brown eyes that I love so much to see if she feels the same way. "I don't know," she teases coyly, but her eyes are telling me that she agrees with me completely.

Coming Home to You Sixty One
DELILAH I’m not sure of the exact moment that I realized I wanted Liam Anderson to be mine forever. It could have been on the beach when we would collect shells and build castles when I was 6. I remember thinking that his smile reminded me of sunshine and I couldn’t control the butterflies when he would unleash it on me.Or it could’ve been the times we snuck out in fifth grade to catch lightning bugs in jars or when we’d sneak some of moms freshly baked cookies before dinner. It could’ve been any of the numerous times he had my back if the other kids at school teased me. It could’ve been the time in middle school when we held hands or when he saved me from having to do 7 minutes in heaven with Gavin in 7th grade. Liam has always been such a large part of my life. Staring at him up on stage now, I try to think of what my life would be like in ten years if Liam wasn’t in it. A tear slips down my cheek as I realize that’s not the life that I want. The guys have just finished playing th
