ECHOES OF LOVE 105
"Aren't you going to say a word?"Mark asked when Jordan didn't respond to his talks."What do you want me to say? You meant a hottie, good for you,""You are no fun, you use to be so much fun when you come to Los Angeles but you are so different here you only talk to me when it is work-related and snub me the rest of this time, I picked you as my teammate because I was mostly close to you but I guess I did wrong, I should have gone for someone else, I had so many choices,"Mark complained. It wasn't his fault, he couldn't pretend to be happy when he was not, those times Mark had met him that he was referring to, Jordan had been in good moods them but with all the shits going on in his life, he couldn't entertain anyone even if he tried, it wasn't just Mark but everyone, he wasn't himself but because the others knew him enough they knew best to leave him alone and let him sort out himself but Mark didn't know that and Jordan wasn't ready to explain to him."You are not going to say a

"What are you doing here and how do you know that I live here?"Liam asked Jordan staring at him, he already knew who would have told him where he lived, he cursed understand his breath, his mom was making things difficult for him and there was no stopping her, he thought she was finally over his case and even spoke with her on the phone earlier today, well, no more talk about the surgery but then she sends Jordan to him even after he told her it was next if they stay away from each other, his mom was unstoppable."How I know doesn't matter, I just know that you can't run or hide from me forever Liam,"Jordan said."I am not hiding nor am I running from you, can't you take a hint and just leave me alone?"He asked."No, I can't, neither can I leave you alone, you have to try harder to get rid of me because I am not going anywhere,""Just leave me alone what else do you want from me? I already told you I am not going to do what you want, stop trying so hard you are not going to succeed

"Yup, I figured I had to feed myself since you ran away and left me on my own,"Jordan replied with food in his mouth a habit that was Jordan's"I didn't run away,"Liam said subconsciously walking toward him and using his finger to wipe off the food on his lips, he heard his intake of breath and realize just a little too late that he wasn't supposed to be touching him, he took his hand away and walked back, putting a distance between them."Liam,"Jordan whispered his name dropping his food and walking close to him, Liam took steps back."Don't come close Jordan,"Liam said. He was too tempting, all it took was for him to be in the same room with him for Liam to remember just how starved he was, he couldn't do this to Jordan."Why Liam? You don't want me anymore?"He asked sadly he continued walking close to him until Liam's back hit the wall, Jordan didn't stop until they were face to face, Liam took a breath to control himself, it was so hard to stare at this man and not want him a
ECHOES OF LOVE 108
Jordan stared his mouth open at Liam, this felt like Deja Vu, like this whole shit has happened before, the same exact same way but this time it felt worst, this time it was coming from someone he trusted so much, someone he thought won't do this kind of shit to him, oh, what he fool he had been, he was so stupid, could he let this happen again, or maybe he heard him wrong."Liam, what do you mean by what you just said?"He asked hoping to heaven that he misheard him, his naked body suddenly too cold, he pulled the mattress and wrapped it around himself while staring at Liam who didn't look the least bit bothered, he looked cold and distant instead."I said I am with someone else so there is no need for you to come here and also whatever happened between us was a mistake, don't you think that because of that I am going to come back to you, I am with someone who understands me and he will be here soon so it will be better if you leave, I don't want him to meet you here,"Liam said brea

"Let's just let it go,"He told himself. There was no point in hanging on to this and trying to fight for them when Liam already moved on, he should do that too, move on, but of course, he wasn't going to be with anyone else for a long long time, he has been burnt too much to want to love again, the first time had been horrible, and Kelvin happened and when Liam had come, once again he fell in love, he thought he would finally have it all with Liam yet again that wasn't going to be it, he wasn't just lucky, maybe love wasn't meant for him, maybe it was his fate to be lonely, he should just accept it."Should I just leave New York?"He asked himself. The thought didn't sound bad at all, he could move to Los Angeles, or Arizona, start afresh, and just be contented with himself."I can't do that,"He replied to himself. He couldn't leave New York even if he wants to, his life was here, his family was here, as much as he doesn't like that his parents were always on his case, he didn't fan
ECHOES OF LOVE 110
After Jordan left, Liam felt like the devil, he shouldn't have said what he said, he shouldn't have the look on Jordan's face, the betrayer he saw there, he couldn't think about it without feeling guilty, but then if it will keep Jordan away from him then it is all good, he could live with the guilt or maybe not, because what Jordan had said to him, he didn't know his ex had broken up with him right after they slept together, he didn't like the thought of Jordan with another man either."Just stop, at least he won't come back here and that's for the best,"He whispered to himself and he got up from the bed to go brush his teeth, he stared at his reflection in the mirror, he didn't look so bad, neither did he look like he was sick but he knew there was a time bomb over his head and it might explode anytime soon, he felt it while he made love to Jordan, the adrenaline rush had made his heartbeat uneven and he had struggled to keep his breath."You are dying,"He said to his reflection b

"Later,"He said as he wore his shirt and a pair of trousers, he picked up his way h and his eyes landed on the box containing the ring he had both for Jordan that he never gave to him, he picked it up and opened it, the gold band"Mark, this is not a date,"Liam warned but the man wasn't having it, he just rolled his eyes and went about taking his orders."What are you having Liam?""Whatever you are having,""I want to have you,"He said with a wink."That's not going to happen now just order and let's eat and leave I don't like people and there are lots of people here,""Liam? Who is he to you?"Jordan asked in a low voice."He is my boyfriend, Mark day Hi to Jordan, we used to date, Jordan meets Mark, my boyfriend,"Liam said already knowing that he will be born in hell for all the shits he was putting Jordan through."Hi, Jordan, didn't know you dated Liam, but thank you for letting him go because he is mine now,"Mark said. He was acting like they both knew each other."You guys
ECHOES OF LOVE 112
Jordan was back to square zero, he shouldn't have gone out today, he should have stayed home but he had been so exhausted from work that he didn't have the strength to cook and had decided to go eat out only for him to see Liam for the first time in nearly three weeks and it couldn't have been anyone else but Mark, why did it had to be someone he knew and he worked with, if it was some unknown face then it won't hurt so bad, he thought he was over Liam but maybe he has been living a lie since.For three weeks, he had done everything else except care about Liam or think about him, each time the thoughts of him came he did his best to throw them out the next moment, not just that, he changed his phone number so that Liam's mom won't call him, because her calling him would only keep him in the past, and he wanted to move on completely, it had taken all his courage to do that and just a few seconds or minutes in Liam's presence has just ruined it, if only he hadn't gone out, or worst of a

Liam walked up to Jordan and hugged him from behind."Hey, babes, you look extra hot today,"He whispered in his ears and Jordan let out a funny laugh."I am hot every day of the year though,"He responded."I agree, wanna go for a walk? The moms are going to send the babies to bed,"He said pulling away from him and reaching out for his hand."Sure, I will love to,"Jordan said and they both walked down the part, taking small steps and just feeling each other's presence."The weather is so nice today, it has been nice all week,"Jordan said. Liam looked down at him and smiled happily, it's been over two years since they got married and not for one day in those two years did he ever regret marrying this man, his world would not have existed if he had not fought to win him back and everyday he wakes up, stare at him in bed and thank his stars that he got him back, for him, the weather have always been good since the day he got Jordan back in his life, there hasn't been a single bad wea

Two Years Later..."Happy birthday son,"He heard Liam's mom's voice before he saw her, they were all here, his parents and Liam's parents, it was his thirty-third birthday and he had invited them to their house for a small family party, he invited Kat too but she couldn't make it this time and said she will make it up to him."Thanks, mom, you guys are welcome,""You are looking extra handsome today my son,"His mom said."Don't pull my legs mom,"He responded as they exchanged hugs and Liam's parents gave him his present, his parent didn't have any presents with them but he didn't bother to ask, his husband and kids came out a few moments later to welcome them.They all went to the dining table to eat his birthday dinner after which Liam went out to play with the kids, he talked with his parents for a while before leaving them to go outside too, his parents had a unique relationship with Liam's parents, he could say they were best friends as they go to each other's house and even go

"What do you mean the babies are coming? And how are they coming on the same day or are you pranking me? We still have two weeks right?"Jordan asked but he was already on his way out of the office, he didn't bother to wait for the elevator and just took the stairs, they weren't expecting until next week and this was so sudden and unexpected."I am not pulling a prank on you idiot, May is in labor and she just called,""Oh, I thought you said both of them,""No, meet me at the hospital okay?""Sure, I will be there soon,"He said and Liam hung up without another word, okay at least it wasn't the two women at the same time, he quickly got into his car and zoomed off towards the hospital, on his way there he said a little prayer and hoped that everything will go well and by the end of today they will have one of their pretty angel with them."Liam!"He called when he got into the hospital and found him sitting alone."Hey, baby,""How is May?"He asked."I don't know, we just have to wa

"Honey, you better hurry, or we are going to be late,"Liam yelled for Jordan who was still upstairs, they have been married for more than three months now and his life has been the happiest in those times, waking up each morning to Jordan was how he was meant to live his life and that's how he wanted it to be, today, they were meeting up with the surrogates, they decided to do both at once because they wanted to raise their first children together, Liam loved that they would start their own family soon and they were able to get two beautiful women to help carry their children, after this meeting, the process would start officially, all test and everything related have already been done so yes, they were going to be parents of two lovely kids in a little less than a year if everything goes as planned."You are more eager to do this than I thought, how are you so hyped up in the morning? I hate mornings,"Jordan complained coming down the stairs, he was frowning."Babe? It's not mornin

"I can't believe my best friend is going to get married, wow, I am so happy, this is the best thing that had ever happened to me,"Katrina said when she walked into his room, he rolled his eyes at her."Yeah, right, so you mean you pick this moment over your own wedding and when your two devil-angels Steria and Moon were born? I will like to see you say that when Lucas is here,"He teased."Why can't you just let me have a man? Why do you always have to be such a show spoiler? I was having fun and you just had to mention the reasons for my sleepless nights,"She said with a sad pout."Oh, I am going to add that to the list of things I am going to gossip to your husband,"He said and she glared at him."Are you my best friend or are you Lucas's spy?"She asked laying on his bed."That's the bed I spend almost every night ticking Liam on,"He announced and she was up in seconds, brushing the invisible stain off her body with a disgusted look."What the fuck? You could have warned me or
ECHOES OF LOVE 209
Liam rolled over on the bed and smiled when his body came in contact with another, he popped his eyes open to see Jordan sleeping peacefully beside him, memories of the night before flashing through his mind, he couldn't believe it, they were good again, he got him back, Jordan was his again, and his life just got better."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked as he opened his eyes, Liam felt his heart skip a beat, they never really resolved anything, all Jordan had said was for him to kiss him, what if this wasn't what he thought it was, what if Jordan just wanted them to have sex? He really didn't like the direction his mind was going and shook off the thoughts."Now why are you frowning so early in the morning? Did you have a bad dream??""No, I just, I am just,""What? You are lost for words? Good, that means I did well,"Jordan said touching his face, he still couldn't believe that this was all real, he knew he needed to apologize for real now, so he sat up."Jordan,

Jordan looked up from what he had been doing when his phone rang, he checked who it was and dropped the phone back, it was Liam's mom calling him, he didn't know what to tell her, what could he say when he told his son to fuck off, maybe she wanted to tell him to stay away from her son, he knew that wasn't possible, the phone stopped ringing and he went back to working silently but a few minutes later, it rang again, this time, he decided to pick up."Good day, mom,"He greeted as he walked out of the office towards the resting area, thankfully, no one was in, he entered and sat down."Hi, son, I am sorry to disturb you,"She responded."It's not a problem mom, it must be urgent since you are calling me, what is it?"He asked even though he already had an idea of what she might be calling for."His are you doing Jordan?"She shows shocking him, he shouldn't be shocked by her caring, she has never stopped, ever since Christmas, when she had gotten his contact again, she had made sure t

Like he expected it wasn't going to be easy getting Jordan back but that didn't mean he wa going to give up, no he wasn't, Jordan endured a lot and him giving up right after the first rejection would be him not trying at all, he wasn't going to back out until Jordan takes him back, he didn't want live life without him by his side, there won't be a reason for his living then.Once again he was at Jordan’s apartment waiting for him even after he has been rejected every day for the past two weeks, he just couldn’t give up, he saw Jordan’s car and got out of his, running to him before he could enter his apartment.“You are here again? What the fuck?”Jordan asked glaring at him.“Yes, I am,”He answered.“Why can't you just take a hint and leave me alone? Stop coming here, stop trying please just stop, there is no point doing all of these, I won't go back to you, I have made up my mind and nothing you can do will change that,"Jordan yelled at him."Please don't push me away Jordan, I beg

"What? What do you fucking have to say to me now Liam? What?"Jordan yelled at him, he couldn't even bring himself to believe that this was even real, that Liam was here, and that he was finally whole, that he finally remembered."How could you leave just because I asked you to? You said you love me Jordan, that you will never leave me but you did, you fucking left me and took all traces of us that would have let me remember anything from me, there was no sign of you in the house we shared, nothing, and you went away,"Liam let out, Jordan couldn't believe he was saying all these to him after everything he put him through, right now he had a lot on his mind, Kat went into labor when they were on the phone together and he was worried about her.“What are you even talking about?”“Why didn’t you stay? You said you would no matter what,”Liam said."You didn't give me the chance to stay Liam, don't talk like I just left you, you told me to get off your face, you told me I wasn't welcomed
