LIAM Tyler and I are goofing around in the living room when there is a knock at the door. Tyler makes it to the door before I can, peeping through the eye hole. "Are we expecting a buff tan tattooed guy?" Ty turns and asks me casually. I scowl, "Must be Delilah's date. How mad would she be if we just tell him to leave?" Tyler chuckles, "I don't know if that's the best idea. Let's bring him inside, try to make him uncomfortable." "I like where your heads at. Let him in." Tyler opens the door and slowly eyes the guy from head to toe. "Can I help you?" He asks him pointedly. "Hey man, I'm Zack. I'm here to pick up Delilah." "Huh. Chad is it? Well, Chad, I don't think Delilah is ready. She probably forgot about your little date. You can come in and wait if you want." Zack shuffles inside the door watching Tyler cautiously. "It's Zack actually. Aren't you the drummer in that one band?" Tyler nods. "That'd be me. Liam here is the lead singer." I nod at Zack, my arms crossed and ch

DELILAH"Am I hallucinating or is this actually happening?" Tyler whispers to me as the four of us stare at Lucy in disbelief. Zack has already moved on to flirting with a few tourists in the group behind us. Lucy is currently licking the end of her golf club seductively while staring at my husband. "That can't be sanitary." Tessa chuckles shaking her head. Liam shifts awkwardly behind me, looking anywhere but at her. "I honestly am feeling a bit violated right now. Where the hell did you find this chick Tyler?" "Luke gave me her contact. He met her at a concert a couple months back." Tyler answers. "She clearly was checking all the boxes that he requires." Tessa chokes on her laugh. "Clearly.""Dels why don't we head back. This chick is super creepy." Liam whispers in my ear. "So Liam." Lucy eyes him up and down after she's finished assaulting the golf club with her mouth. "Is doggy style still your favorite position, because I read in gossip girl weekly that it is. It's mine too

LIAM "So what now?" Dels asks as I check over my shoulder for the fifth time while waiting for the elevator. "I don't know. I'm so worried that crazy chick is going to find us before we make it upstairs." I say wrapping my arms around her as the elevator bell finally dings and the doors open. I quickly pull her inside and frantically tap the close button. She looks up at me amused. "Don't worry. I'm sure they took her down to the station for public indecency. I've never seen anything so crazy in my entire life." She reasons threading her fingers through mine and pulling me closer to her as she leans on the wall behind her. "I've never felt so violated." I tell her honestly. "She was very persistent. I'm still not sure how she got her clothes off that quickly." Delilah laughs, dropping my hands and stepping out of the elevator as the doors open up to our floor. I quickly lead her inside, locking the door behind us."Would you rather rent a movie or hang out on the balcony with a bo

DELILAH I'm startled from my peaceful dream in which I was floating around a pool on my flamingo raft while Liam fed me grapes, by a loud noise in the front room. I sit up quickly prying Liam's arms from around my waist and look around to gather my surroundings. I hold my breath and listen closely, another loud crash confirms that I didn't just imagine the commotion to begin with. "Liam wake up." I say shaking him. "Someone's in our suite.""Hmmmm don't eat my bananas," he mumbles trying to pull me closer. I look at him puzzled, what the heck is he dreaming about. I shake him some more, just as I hear a loud bang right outside the door. "Shit, Liam we're under attack. Wake up!" I pull the covers off of him and he finally pops up, eyes wide. "What is going on?" He asks rubbing his eyes as another crash occurs nearer. "Shit!""Something is out there. What should we do?" I ask nervously. "What if it's that crazy girl? What if she found us?"Liam shivers in fear, "I'll check, you stay

LIAMFor some unknown reason Dels decided to set an alarm to wake us up this morning. "Babe. Make it stop." I beg, releasing my hold on her as she quickly silences her phone. "What kind of monster sets an alarm while on vacation anyway?" I tease pulling her back into my arms."I thought you were going to keep your hands to yourself." She whispers sleepily while snuggling in closer to me. "You don't seem to mind too much." I tease."Well, you are a good snuggler. It's hard to resist your charms." She turns to face me, removing any space between us. "You're making it very hard to be your friend." I mumble, my voice still thick with sleep."Am I making it hard?" She smirks, her honey brown eyes full of mischief at her innuendo."You're such a tease, Dels. I think you know exactly what you're doing to me." I say tucking one of her wild curls behind her ear. I want her so badly, but I know it's more important that we fix things between us first."So is there a reason for you waking us up

LIAM We've been at Delilah's photo shoot for five whole minutes and I'm already getting really weird vibes from one of the producers. The aquarium is like nothing I've ever seen before. The entire place is oozing decadence, marble floors, enormous enclosures, and a huge spread of food for the models and production team today. Tessa is talking with one of the photographers with Dels, while Tyler and I check out the food spread. Today's shoot is going to be for a fundraiser to raise money to protect a coral reef that's nearby. It looks like they are about to take Dels back to hair and makeup when the creepy producer approaches us. "So boys, what can I do to keep you entertained while your friends get ready?" She purrs placing her hand on my bicep and Tyler and I both know she's offering more than a magazine. The woman is the definition of a cougar. Her clothes are basically painted on her body, her makeup done heavily and her long blonde hair is in waves down her back. She reminds me

DELILAH Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we just got back home to South Carolina. The paparazzi seems to be following us everywhere these days, the rumor mill going crazy with speculations about us being back together. We haven't confirmed or denied anything for them this time around. Truthfully we haven't even talked about it with each other yet. I know what Liam wants, but I'm afraid to dive back in like we did before. It seems reckless since I've already been burned twice by him, even if the second time was to protect me. So when we pull into the house that we bought together before all of this mess it's only natural that I'm a nervous wreck. Liam is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Completely thrilled as he hops out of the car and grabs our luggage. I pause outside the front door. "Are you sure we're ready for this?" I ask sincerely. "I can stay at my dads for a while. We don't have to rush back into this." I don't see the harm in us taking it slow and building our friendship again
Coming Home to You Forty Seven
DELILAH I spent most of the night tossing and turning in my bed. Alone. True to his word, Liam stayed in the guest room last night. I wonder if he slept okay without me? I almost broke down and went to his bed several times, but I didn't want to wake him, or at least that's what I told myself. I glance at my phone to see that it's already 10 AM. I can't believe it's already that late. I should get up and get dressed, our parents, Tessa, Tyler, and their parents will all be here to eat and exchange gifts in a few hours. Liam told me he had everything under control and not to worry about it last night, but I should help him out anyway. I quickly scurry into our bathroom and take a quick shower. I've always been fairly low maintenance but seeing the dark circles under my eyes from deciding to sleep solo last night causes me to spend more time than usual on my makeup. When I'm finally presentable I throw on my favorite ugly Christmas sweater and a pair of skinny jeans and scurry downsta

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 "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
