LIAM"How much longer until we land?" I ask Tyler impatiently."Thirty minutes. You know this could completely blow up in your face right?" "I thought you said that they were staying in tonight? Why does this say she was just spotted with Taylor Swift?" I'm so frustrated, keeping tabs on my wife has been quite difficult lately with her refusing to talk to me. I just want to know that she's safe. "Tess told me they were staying in. I don't think she'd lie to me. Do you really think they were able to fool their entire security detail? Maybe those photos are old." He's clearly in denial."Have you met Delilah?" I ask him, raising my brows."Well, why would Tess lie to me?" Oh I see, he thinks Tess is wrapped around his finger. I knew more was going on between them than he let on."Because Dels told her to. You know Tessa is going to side with her, especially if it involves hanging out with Taylor Swift." I run my hands through my hair for the thousandth time today. "I need this plane to

LIAM"What are you doing here?" I hear my favorite voice behind me and I turn around unable to keep the smile from my face. I know she's still mad at me, but I'm so happy just to be in the same room as her that I can barely control myself.Her arms are crossed in front of her and it's clear I have my work cut out for me tonight. If she's happy to see me she sure as hell is hiding it well."Heard you were going to be singing tonight. I couldn't believe it so I had to come see for myself." I say stepping closer to her. I see a hint of a smile, before she quickly catches herself and takes another step back. I don't miss the fact that every guy in this bar is checking her out right now. I can't blame them."You're supposed to be in Asia." She accuses, pursing her lips."Tours over. We came straight here." I state, stepping closer. "I missed you baby. You never told me you can sing." I try to inch closer again, but she quickly shuts me down."Well, you never told me you got someone else pre

DELILAH "Pssst." Tess nudges me in the side, trying to get my attention while Liam is still singing on stage. "You guys seemed awfully chummy." She tries to whisper but it comes out super loud. I eye her curiously and then glance at Ty who makes a funny face at me. She is clearly toasted. I laugh, "Well, we are married so." "So you made up in the closet." She excitedly shouts. My eyes go wide as people glance our way. "Ssshhhh! People can hear you." I whisper looking at the stage to see Liam smirking in my direction. He sounds amazing as always. His voice caresses the lyrics like silk. This song suits him and it's just a fun song. I shoot him a dazzling smile as he finishes up and he quickly hops off the stage and beelines it in my direction, politely nodding and greeting people along his way. He stops in front of me, placing his hands on my bare thighs as I sit on a stool. "Hey." He sends a sexy smirk in my direction and I subconsciously bite my bottom lip. "Hey." He moves clo

LIAM"What took you so long?" Dels eyes me curiously as our friends enter their suite across the hall."The girl working the front desk noticed who I am and went into shock. Then the manager didn't believe that I'm your husband. Finally, the guys came in with your key and now I'm here." I explain opening the door and following her into the suite where she's been living with Tessa. I glance around and notice they've kept the place pretty tidy. There's an abundance of chocolates on the kitchen counter though. Dels smiles mischievously, "So husband, you wanted to get me here alone and now you have me. What's your next move?" She slowly walks to her room leaving a trail of clothing behind her. Gulping, I quickly follow behind her shuffling out of my shoes and pulling my shirt over my head, tossing it behind me. She turns around wrapping her arms around my neck waiting for my answer. "My next move?" I question, eyeing her up and down. "I hadn't really thought about that. I'm still in shoc

LIAMA sense of foreboding overcomes me as I enter the room my lawyers set up after knocking gently on the door. "I'm glad you finally agreed to meet with me." A pretty brunette sits on the bed in front of me patting the space beside her. Her face is heavily done up with makeup, her clothes hug her tightly leaving very little to the imagination, and she looks suspiciously not pregnant. I raise my brows at her skeptically, “Nah, I'm good over here." I say crossing my arms in front of me. She chuckles and the high pitched sound hurts my ears. “Oh Liam. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but one way or another you'll be sleeping with me today." She narrows her eyes at me and I'm genuinely terrified. This chick truly believes what she's saying. "Yeah, that’s going to be a problem for me. I'm happily married and since you are clearly not pregnant I'll be leaving now." I nod in her direction and head towards the door, but she stops me grasping my arm with her talons before I c

DELILAH "Hey, what took you so long?" I question Liam who looks at me strangely, like he has something to hide. I smile approaching him slowly and wrapping my arms around his neck. He doesn't return the smile making me pull back. “Delilah, something is going to happen and I can't tell you what it is. I need you to trust me though okay?""Trust you? What are you talking about Liam? You're scaring me." "I can't say much okay? I'm not going to be able to see you or talk to you for a while. And things are going to be hard.""What are you talking about? We're going on our honeymoon tomorrow.""No. You and Tess are going. I have to stay here and handle a few things. Okay?" He kisses me on the lips quickly and then looks away. "I love you Dels. Just remember that okay?" He turns and walks out of my room leaving me a confused mess. What the hell just happened? Tessa tumbles into the room minutes later looking just as confused as I am. "What in the world is going on Lilah?" She sits next t

TESSA"Hey Lilah. I'll meet you by the pool in a minute ok?" I say grabbing my phone and beach bag as she hops onto the elevator and puts her sunglasses on. We've been lucky to avoid any paparazzi while we've been here. I think they are all in LA following Liam and his trashy new girlfriend around. We've seen dozens of pictures daily of him with her. I swear the next time I see that boy I'm kicking him straight in the balls. The weirdest part about it all is that he doesn't look happy with her. I don't get it. Tyler picks up the call on the second ring. "Hey Tessa. How are things going there?" He asks like we’re still friends. Fuck that. He’s clearly chosen the she devils side. "I'm not calling to chitchat. Okay?" I say perhaps a bit too harshly. "Okay. What's up?" He replies nervously. He should be. "Someone should be delivering some paperwork to Liam today. I need you to make sure he signs it and gets them back to Lilah's dad.""Tessa, what kind of papers?" He asks hurriedly. "

TYLER"Hey Man." I approach him cautiously. I’m not surprised to see that he’s with Alexandria again. The chick barely lets him out of her sight. It’s so annoying. "Can I talk to you for a moment in private?" I ask and notice he looks at her, silently asking for permission. Weird. "Sure." She says. "I was just headed to the ladies room to powder my nose anyway. Make it quick okay baby?" She kisses him on the lips and I swear he cringes before nodding. "So these came for you." I say handing him the paperwork from Delilah. He looks at the papers confused. "What is this?" He asks. "Tessa asked me to make sure you sign them and get them to Delilah's dad. He'll take care of the rest. No need to drag this out and hurt her anymore than you already have." I say pointedly."She wants a divorce?" He asks astonished and I can't help but laugh at how dumbfounded he is. "Of course she does. What did you think would happen? You sent her on your honeymoon with someone else while you parade aroun

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
