Liam I call the number Ted gave me. Denver is now looking skeptical about the whole thing. I kind of knew he might want to skip out, I don’t blame him. Going after someone isn’t just the sort of thing anyone will do. Only I’m here now and I’m not prepared to let that douchebag get away scot free from what he has done to Tammy. “There’s still time to walk away.” I turn and say to him. We’re parked up in an unused parking lot that has a wire fence perimeter. There’s a burnt out car to the left and an old caravan that has lost all its wheels. This isn’t the best neighborhood to be in. Certainly not where we all hang out. I know that the lies of Tate, Denver and myself, Tammy and Lilly are privileged. We have extremely rich parents and money is never an object. Although my dad always makes me realise that it doesn’t grow on trees. Yes, I have an allowance on a monthly basis that even I know would be an annual allowance for most kids and yes, my father pays for a lot of my shit. But trus
Tate I’m lying on my bed, it’s nearly eleven outside. It’s pitch black except for the moon which is half this evening. It’s still absolutely stunning. The only thing that is spoiling it for me, is that Liam still hasn’t contacted me. Denver hasn’t contacted Lilly and we’re both besides ourselves. The way my stomach is lurching and the nausea I’m feeling, it tells me something bad has gone down. All I can do is wait and wait until Liam does send me a message. I reach for my book on the bedside cabinet, I’m an avid reader but tonight I open it up and just stare at the pages. So unlike me, especially when it’s the a Colleen Hoover like this one is. Really, I’m not even able to focus on the words, they’re swimming in front of my eyes. Perhaps I ought to swap to an audio book, that might soothe me whilst I wait. “Hey honey, you asleep yet?” I hear my mother say from the other side of the door. My fairy lights are still on and my bedside lamp, she can see the light no doubt filtering bel
Tate Liam stays cuddled into me, his warmth radiates through my own body and it’s causing a warm sensation to spread throughout the bottom of my stomach and up into my chest. My heart rate has increased. This feel is amazing. I’m fighting hard, really hard to not turn to him and kiss him. A nice long, lingering kiss where I can feel his tongue inside my mouth. I want my best friend so bad that it’s driving me practically insane with longing. I know I shouldn’t feel like this but it’s just so damn hard. He’s everything I want in a boyfriend. To start with he is my best friend and they say that your boyfriend, husband, lover should be your best friend. He’s gorgeous with his impressive height, his broad shoulders and that jet black hair that sometimes hangs in his face. His eyes are piercing and when he looks at me in a certain way, it makes me go to mush. I’ve got it so bad. So. Fucking. Bad. “You okay?” I ask quietly, my voice just a whisper. “Mm.” He responds not saying anything
Liam Damn it, what was I thinking cuddling into her like that.? I’ve not held Tate since shit knows when. I mean we were just kids when we used to cuddle and hunker up. I loved how we were when we were younger, becoming a teenager and growing into an adult can be really sucky sometimes. I easily make my way down the trellis minding not to get stabbed by the thorny roses. This trellis has been the bain of my life for so many years. If tonight hadn’t been so serious it would probably make me smile that I act like some damn cat burglar sneaking around in the middle of the night. It’s pitch black outside the sky displays an array of stars, Tate loves stars. We sometimes drive further into the mountain area and just sit on the hood of my jeep and take them in. I like them but not as much as she does, she’s kind of obsessed with them. My girl Tate, there is no-one quite like her in the world. My breathing is rapid, even though I know her folks are well and truly asleep and mine will be t
Tate I groan as I hear a knock on my bedroom door. I hardly slept at all last night. “Hey, honey are you awake?” Mom’s voice is on the other side of my door. I check my mobile it’s eight already. Shit. I said I’d meet Lilly at Doogle’s diner for nine before we head off shopping. I rub my sleepy eyes thinking I must have dropped off around three a.m after Liam left. Liam. About that. First I need to respond to my mom. “Hey, Mom. I’m awake but not up.” “No worries, darling. I’ve bought you a nice cup of herbal tea.” She opens the door and steps in. Wow, she is looking amazing for this time of morning. Her hair is blowed out and she’s wearing hot pink, straight trousers that skim her ankles and black kitten heels. Her pale pink blouse contrasts beautifully with her bottoms. “Wow, you look like a vision out of that movie, Legally Blonde.” She smiles. “Thanks, honey. Here you go. What time are you off out today?” She places my favourite Frozen mug on the bedside careful to move my book
Tate I’m still thinking about Liam when I hear Lilly beep her car horn. She loves that damn horn. Her daddy had it fixed so it sounds like one of those really cool classic motors from the 1920’s. It’s funny I guess if you like that kind of thing and Lilly can be very quirky. “Mom, I’m going. Have a lovely time at the club and tonight. See you tomorrow. It is tomorrow you’re back right?” I’m slipping into my favourite Nike’s my white ones with a swirling pattern on the back on the heel and grab my mini rucksack from my chair in the bedroom. “Mom.” I shout again. Where is she? I don’t want to have to go running around the house, it’s huge just to find her. She comes out of their room fixing an earring in her ear. “I heard you, Tate. Yes, tomorrow around four or five. Daddy has to leave early on Monday to fly to Dallas with Patrick.” My dad never gets a break but he thrives on his business, it’s his whole life aside from my mother and I. “Okay, perfect.” I move towards her and place
Tate It feels as if someone is peering over my shoulder, I can feel warm breath on the back of my neck it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I turn swiftly ready to push back. Then I get a shock. He’s standing right behind me. SHIT. Has been hovering and watching me gazing longingly at his photo? Fuck’s sake. I hope not. “What are you doing here? I ask then notice Denver is standing right behind him. “What are you doing?” Liam asks me with a smirk on his face. Yep busted I bet. “What’s that supposed to mean? Obviously I’m standing in line for a McDonald’s.” I don’t tell him that Lilly has gone off to buy sexy lingerie for a hot date with Denver this evening. He grins, his dimples show, the ones I love and want to touch. Liam is looking fucking hot today, I have to tear my eyes away from him because just looking at him is heating me up inside. His hair is flopping all over his face and I resist the urge to move it away with my fingers and to feel his locks. I can
Liam We hung with the girls for a couple of hours but honestly shopping isn’t for me, not unless it I need something. I know that sounds kind of weird especially considering I can buy myself anything I want, anytime I want but truly I don’t care much for shopping. The girls have had a nice time going in and out of all the designer shops and Tate has bought herself some nice outfits. I love it when she looks to me for approval, even though Lilly and Tammy are with us. Denver looked bored all the time, he is itching to get to the game that starts in two hours. The girls have decided they’re coming with us. When Tate came out of one of the changing rooms with the skimpiest red halter neck dress on I’ve ever seen, I almost had a heart attack. “Where do you think you’re going to wear that?” I said without even thinking. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She retorted with her hands on her hips. I’ve never seen her wear something so revealing, it made me twinge and seriously that’s not fuck
Epilogue – Liam I reflect on the summer holidays as I stand in the four-bed house, Tate’s dad got her here in Austin, TX. It’s hot and humid as I watch my girl running around between the kitchen and the boxes in the large, open space lounge. And by large, I mean like seriously fucking BIG. “Are you just going to stand there and watch me like a perv, or you going to come and help me unpack?” Man, is Tate excited or what? We arrived last night, her dad laid on the jet for us, the boxes were already shipped out from our homes last week and the cleaning support came in yesterday morning. There isn’t anything for us to do but unpack. Are we ready for college? Who knows, all I want to do is fuck my girl and play football. It’s exciting for sure. My high school coach spoke to the coach and the manager of the Longhorns here in Austin and I am in. I can’t believe how smoothly it went, Cali said they would have me anytime if things didn’t work out and for State, the manager has already emai
Tate “You did what?” I am completely shocked, it’s out of this world shocked and yet my heart feels like it is going to burst with happiness. “I told my mom that I’m going to transfer to Texas.” He says it like it’s no big deal, but it is a huge fucking big deal. His future for Cali is set, it’s in place. He’ll play college football then go on to play for the State. “Liam, I can’t let you do that. No fucking way.” He is laying on my bed with his arms behind his head, his electric blue eyes drinking me in as I pace my bedroom running my hands through my hair that is hanging down around my shoulders. Wow. This is like, can you imagine the biggest thing that happens to you? Well this is it. “Baby, trust me. I can do exactly what I want.” His mouth is upturned, and I can tell by the way his eyes look and his huge black pupils right now that he has got other things on his mind than what his future holds. “Why don’t I get the impression you think this is a big deal?” I place my hand
Liam I can’t wait to see my girl tonight. My dad is away with her father on business, they’ve got a new deal going through right now. How my mom manages with him being away so much is unfathomable because already I do not want to be away from Tate. And since I don’t want her dreams to be ruined, that and I do not want to have to face her dad if Tate does something rash, like changing out Uni. I have come to a decision. I’ll make some calls, speak to my folks and then I can let Tate in on it. For sure she will be over the moon, and I am hoping that this can work out for us. Being in love with Tate all these years and finally being with her is a dream come true. My body aches not being right next to her now after four days together, I miss her. Jeez, I miss her like crazy and yet she is only across the road. You guys think I’m some kind of sap, right? I can live with that. In all honestly, I don’t rightly care, all I care about is holding her in my arms again later. Being out in the
Tate We have had the most romantic and adventurous four days in Mexico. The city itself was bustling and throngs of tourists were milling around, I was glad by the end of the day when we finally got back to our cabana and had hot sex out on the deck. I am hoping his detail had the courtesy to not be watching. Liam didn’t seem put off at all, as he gave me orgasm after orgasm. We’ve just arrived back home, and I am not going to lie, I am tired. We’ve been up most nights watching movies, having hot sex, eating late night snacks, laying in bed being lazy until nine, reading, talking, and hanging out. My folks have got our trip to Texas booked and I am most definitely not looking forward to going now. I’ve gotten so close to Liam that just the thought of being separated from him is giving me anxiety. I actually feel sick in my stomach, hugely sick like I’m going to vomit, and my stomach is literally in knots. I’m betting he is feeling the same way. When his driver dropped us off and
Tate The way he kisses me sends nice shivers throughout my body, he certainly knows what he is doing, it’s like heaven as I allow my eyes to close to feel him getting closer to my aching flower. I swear it is so swollen I just want him to get inside me, I don’t want to wait I just need to feel him moving with me.I lift my hips to feel his mouth as he runs his tongue along my slit, “keep going, that feels sooo good.” I tell him as I push his head down further between my legs. I can feel as he moans into me, I squeeze my legs around his head but not enough to suffocate him. Could you imagine, I wonder how many guys have been clamped down on a girl’s clit before. I snigger.He lifts his head. “What are you laughing, not my tongue action I hope?” He winks and I place a hand over my mouth to stifle my laughter.“No, not at all. Just keep going. I was thinking about how many guys have been nearly suffocated between girls’ legs.” He grins wickedly before he lowers himself again and slides
Liam The way she looks this morning, her hair sprawled out against the pillows, her flushed cheeks, and the faint smile on her lips as she is still asleep fills my heart up. I get such a rush it takes me by complete surprise. If this is what love really feels like, I damn well wish I’d confessed how I felt to her before. She looks so peaceful, like an angel. I stroke her hair and press my lips to her head not wanting to wake her. As much as my dick wants to wake her up right now and feel her tight pussy gripping it, I have to restrain myself. Tate needs her sleep she always has. Unlike me, I can stay awake til two a.m and still get up for my morning run at five before a full day of school, practice, and the gym. It’s just become routine and I’m good with routine because even though I come from a good family, I could just as easily be a bad boy and get up to all sorts of shit that wouldn’t stand me in good stead. Practice and routine are my allies. Tate on the other hand has always
TateI’m so happy just being here in Liam’s arms, a romantic movie on and all snuggled up. My heart beats so fast because I want him again so badly only, I am a little sore. Instead, he pulls me in tighter, kisses the top of my head and scrolls through his phone.I’ve only been here to Mexico a couple of times before and my folks were with me, so being here with Liam will be a whole new experience and to explore with him. “Do you have anything in mind for tomorrow?” I ask him not taking my eyes from the large tv screen not that I don’t want to look at Liam, I mean he is simply gorgeous like male model gorgeous, but I am engrossed in my all-time favorite movie.“We could go out on the boat and go diving? Or we can go into Mexico City and look around the markets, get something to eat. What do you prefer?” “Oo, I don’t know both sound good. Why don’t we go to the city first then come back and cook something together. We’ve not done that since we were about fifteen doing our cooking pro
Liam “It’s outside, let’s eat some dessert, baby.” I sure am pleased that our waiter delivered them to the door because I am starving, I could eat a horse right now. And I do want my energy for later, only I am guessing that Tate is kinda sore right now and that we ought to wait until tomorrow or at least until the morning. She looks radiant is the best way to describe her right now, her face is glowing, and her smile is enigmatic, she lights up the room. “Brilliant, I’m so hungry. What did you order for dessert?” She asks as she takes a seat on the two-seater sofa in the living space, wearing just my football jersey that comes to mid-thigh. Tate looks damn sexy in it. “Strawberry cream cake with dark chocolate drizzle. You?” I bring the dessert bag in and place it on the marble island in the kitchen area and open the bag careful not to ruin our desserts. “Chocolate mocha cake.” “Your favorite, I should have guessed.” I open the cutlery draw and take out two dessert forks and
Tate “I can’t wait anymore. Please Liam, I’m begging you, let me feel you inside me.” I rake my hands through his jet-black hair and bring his mouth crashing down on mine. My tongue fills his mouth, and our tongues dance a dance I’ve played over and over in my head. Wondering what it would be like to kiss him, to feel his tongue in my mouth. “Okay baby, if you’re sure.” “I’m sure.” My breath catches as he slides his fingers out and leans over to the side table and opens the draw. I hear him fumbling around and watch as he puts the condom packet in his mouth and tears off the edge. “I’m on the pill.” I tell him. He strokes my face, so soft as he caresses my cheek. “It’s best to be extra careful, baby. I don’t want us to have an accident. We have our whole lives to think about and our time will come but not right now.” He makes me swoon; our time will come. He is serious, he wants to be with me forever and to have kids with me one day. My dreams are all going to come true, and I jus
