ECHOES OF LOVE 127
Liam woke up from his nap feeling refreshed, he reached out for Jordan but he wasn't in bed with him, he opened his eyes, the man must have left when he fell asleep, he got off the bed and walked out of the room, the sleep had helped to ease his fatigue, now he was hungry, he needed food, so the kitchen was his destination."Babe? Babe?"He called looking for Jordan, but he wasn't in the room nor was he in the living room or kitchen."Did he go out?"He asked himself walking to the kitchen, he smelled good and just went straight to the table where food was already set, he didn't bother to think, just say down and started eating, he was halfway done when the door opened, he waited with his spoon held in one hand."Oh, you are already eating, that's good, do drink from the soup too, it will help in case there is still so cold in your system,"Jordan said as he kissed him on his cheek before sitting next to him."Where did you go to?"He asked with a pout."To get this,"Jordan said poin

"What are you thinking about so deeply Liam?"Jordan asked reaching out to touch his hand, they were on their way to his parent's house for the weekend and Liam was so quiet that it got him worried, he had to go to work earlier so they left the house later than they had planned."I don't know, I still feel your parents might not want to see me again after everything that happened, with the way I treated you and all,"He responded."Liam, mom, and dad are the most understanding people ever, I promise they are not going to disapprove of you, never, okay, just don't let it bother you, I am telling you this, they won't judge you,"Jordan responded. There was no need for him to be bothered, Jordan knew his parents enough to know that they won't do what Liam is thinking, his parents were cool people."I am just going to have to take your words for it, but if your dad tries to punch me or your mom tried to hit me with her cooking spoon, don't get in the way okay? It is what I deserve,"Liam

The next morning, Jordan was up early, his mom had told him the night before that they would go for a walk in the morning and he looked forward to it, he quickly took a cold shower knowing he would bath again when he returns, he got out of the shower and put on his working out clothes, after which he went back to the bed and softly kissed Liam before whispering."I love you, Liam, I will be back soon,"He left the room and walked the small distance to his parent's room, but first, he went to the kitchen to get his water bottle, he always gets thirsty when running so he never forgets to take water with him."You are up early young man,"His father said when he entered his parent's room."Yes, mom and I have an early morning date,"He said hugging his dad, who patted his back."Alright, she is in the restroom, I think she is washing her hands,""Okay, "He said and sat down waiting for his mom to come out, she came out a few minutes later."Where is he?"His mom asked. He knew he was re

Liam woke up to an empty room, it took him a while to remember where he was, he looked around but Jordan wasn't in the room, he didn't feel like leaving the bed and just decided to stay put until Jordan shows up, maybe he went to say hi to his parents or went for a walk, he picked up his phone and checked the time, it was still early just a few minutes passed seven am."I am so tired so early, such a weak human,"He scolded himself as he covered his eyes again to fight off leftover sleep, he stayed like that for more than twenty minutes and was finally going to give in and get off the bed when he had Jordan's voice from outside their room."He is here,"He said to himself."Where were you baby?"Liam asked when Jordan finally made an appearance."With Mom,"Jordan responded laying on the bed beside him, Liam reached out and wrapped his arms around him."I got to give it to your mom and dad, they are the best,"Liam said and he meant every word, Jordan's parents just keep surprising hi

"Jordan let's go, we are going to be late!"Liam yelled for Jordan who has been in the room, talking on the phone with someone whom Liam had no idea about, they were supposed to be at the hospital by ten and it was past ten already."I was ready an hour ago young man, you are the one who said I should wait so why are you yelling?"He asked as he sassily came out of the room. Liam pulled him close and hugged him."Don't try to act cute with me I will bite you,"Jordan said pushing him off, he has been in a bad mood since the night before when he had told him no, Jordan had wanted them to go clubbing but Liam hated clubs and the noise so he had said no and Jordan had been pissed at him."Are you still mad at me baby?"He asked walking behind him."Don't talk to me,"Jordan responded."Awe, my baby is finna pissed and I like it,""You crazy man, let's just get you to the hospital, we might want to check if you are okay upstairs,"He said throwing him a look."I am sorry sweetheart, promi
ECHOES OF LOVE 132
Jordan sat in silence as they drove back home, not as if he didn't have anything to say but he was just worried, he was worried for Liam that he might be pushing himself to do things that he didn't want just to please him and that's not how it should be, he should freely make his decision or better still have the conversation with him that way they could talk about together rather than him doing things Jordan was sure he mostly didn't like, okay he does sometimes, he did so yesterday when he had asked him to go to the club with him, even though it was two different cases."What are you thinking about so deeply that you are frowning so much?"Liam asked him bringing him out of his thoughts."A lot but we will talk when we get home, I don't want us talking while you are driving, I should be the one driving but you are so stubborn,"He accused. Liam never lets him drive, even though he wants to tell him to let him do it, he was worried Liam might think he is doing it because he was looki

Liam nervously entered the house, he could barely feel his legs, one he knew he was in trouble because he had taken longer than he had thought he would, he didn't know picking a ring would take so long. All he had thought was that he would just go to any ring shop like he had done the first time and just grab anything that comes into sight but he had been so wrong, finding the perfect ring for himself and Jordan within such a short time had been hard, he couldn't just settle for anything, he wanted something that was simple and meaningful, he had to ask the ring seller to help him get something simple yet elegant.She had taken him to their showroom to show him all their available ring and it still took him a lot of time to finally settle on the ones that were currently in his coat pocket, he didn't want Jordan to be the only one wearing a ring so he had made sure to find a couple's ring for the both of them, he was happy with what he finally settle for but now, he might be in trouble

"I love you so much baby, please tell me you will marry me,"Liam pleaded, Jordan just stared at him, blankly too stunned for words, this was far from what he had expected."Liam,"Jordan whispered, he didn't know what else to say, he couldn't the words he wanted to say out, he knew they were going to get engaged and married eventually, but he never thought it will happen so early when he had found the pretty ring in Liam's shelf, he had worn it to pretend it was something special now seeing Liam on his knees with a ring, no rings with him made it all seem so real."Say, something babe,"Liam said with a tight smile, he looked nervous and Jordan wondered why he was, he should know how much he loves him and how much he wanted them to be together forever."Is this what you went to get earlier?"He asked kneeling with him and touching his face."Yes, it took longer than I expected, as I had to choose the perfect ring for us, the last time it didn't seem much like an engagement ring which

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

"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 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
ECHOES OF LOVE 207
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
