ECHOES OF LOVE 140
"Why are you picking at your plate, Liam?"Jordan's mom asked and he looked up to see her watching him, he didn't notice he wasn't eating, he smiled at her hoping she would let him slide but she gave him the look that his mom always gives him when he does that and he knew he needed to explain but his mom beat him to it."That's his habit,"She said and the two women turned towards each other talking about him right in front of him, strangely, he loved it, seeing them talking about him just felt right to him."Moms, you both are mean! Don't say that to his face,"Jordan scolded defending him. He smiled and held his hand under the table."What? You are going to defend his bad behavior?"His mom asked and Jordan was going to say something but he pulled at his hand."Don't worry about me babe, I am okay,"He said and Jordan eyes him."I didn't say you were not okay,"He said and pulled his hands away from his, he laughed and looked up at the other men in the room, they were eating in sile

"We understand,"He responded. Jordan was quiet."Jordan? Are you mad at us?"His mom asked and Jordan smiled."No, I am not, I am okay with it,"He said."Good, now let's go have fun, the dads were chickens and ran away,"Jordan's mom said."I would have run away too,"He responded as he got up and pulled Jordan with him as they walked out of the house together.The rest of the day was spent doing different activities together, it was fun in all, Liam could get used to it, to live with both of their parents and then having fun and just being in each other's presence, they had lunch outside the house and dinner too, after dinner, he and Jordan said goodnight and went up to their room."Liam, what did I do to find you in my life?"Jordan asked when they were alone, Liam looked at him confused as to why he was asking that."Why?""You don't get it? The way you answered our moms earlier today and gave them a better option, I would have gotten angry and it would have ended in both me and

Jordan couldn't describe in full context how the weekend with his and Liam's parents turned out to be, it was everything and so much more, he found out a lot of things he didn't know before and was able to laugh and tell jokes with his parents, they returned home on Sunday afternoon because he had to prepare for Monday since he didn't turn in for work on Friday, even now sitting in his room and going over the design Mark had sent, he couldn't take his mind off the whole weekend, it felt like a preview of how things would turn out to be for him and Liam when they finally get over this phase, he couldn't wait."Who is calling me?"He asked himself as he went to pick up his phone, he needed to be done with his work and have it back by tomorrow, that's why he had used his room instead and had left Liam at his house, he needed the time because he would be away from work when Liam is in the hospital for surgery, that's a hell lot of breaks he had taken within a year and he doubts if he wasn

Going to work with his engagement ring visibly showing was much more nerve wracking than he thought it would be, for the first time since he started working, he was anxious and nervous, okay, before he thought he loved attention but he just couldn't wait to get this day over and done with, he just hated the attention it might get to him, but he couldn't keep his engagement a secret, no way."Good morning people,"He said as he walked into the office, not all of his teammates were there yet only a few who said their good morning too and went back to work, well, still cool, he thought as he walked to his chair and sat down, he had unfinished work from last week and decided to continue them, by nine thirty, all his teammates were around but they were all so busy that no one noticed anything, and it was fine with him but he knew that won't last because they had a meeting soon."Hi, guys,"Lisa, a worker in the company who works with the finance department said as she walked into the offic

"Yo! Jordan!"Jordan heard his name and looked up, he was shocked to see Lucas who Kat had said was in California, when did he get back when Kat had been mad that he was away when she needed him to be with her? And here he was Yo(ing) him, Jordan looked at his teammates who were staring at him, Lucas should really keep his cold boss facade because these people will soon get a heart attack because of him."Sir, welcome,"Mark said and Lucas just waved at him and said hi to everyone else before pulling a seat next to him."Yo! I heard you got engaged, congratulations man! Even though you didn't bother to tell me,"He said and Jordan let out a nervous laugh."Boss, we are at the office,""Okay, I know,""Really Lucas?"He asked looking around, Lucas did too but he might not have wen anything wrong with him being here, again that was making everyone else uncomfortable, Lucas was the unreachable boss before he got together with Kat and now he was sitting next to him."Okay, okay, I get it,

Liam decided to make their last night together before his surgery a really special one, so he planned the best way to make it special, he woke up early on Thursday morning with Jordan in his arms and sneaked out of the room to call Jordan's mom."Liam, how are you? Why are you calling so early in the morning?"She asked. He smiled and greeted her."I was wondering if you can help me get Jordan out of the house until evening, I really want to do something special before we have to leave for the hospital tomorrow and I don't want him to be here while I do that,"He explained and she yelped in excitement, he smiled knowing that was the reaction he had expected from her, she was so predictable in a good way."You know you called the right person, I will help of course,""Thank you, mom,"He said and the call ended, he went back into their room and lay beside Jordan who was still sleeping peacefully, he had Lucas to thank for him still sleeping right now, he had been so shocked and amazed

"Baby, come on in,"Liam said after a few minutes of just standing there and staring at each other, he reached out for Jordan's hand and pulled him into the house, and closed the door."Oh, my God, Liam this is so thoughtful of you, I am impressed,"Jordan said when they got to the living room."You like it?""It course, I live it, my mom knew about this right? That's why she asked me to come around?"He asked."Yes, even though she didn't know what I had planned, I just told her I wanted this night to be special,"He replied. Pulling him to the dining room and pulling out a chair for him to seat, he sat down next to him."This is beautiful Liam, no wonder mom didn't let me eat much, I love this, thank you, I love you,""I love you too baby, now let's eat, there is more,"Liam said serving him food."Now, I want to skip this and just go to the more,""No, we eat first,"Liam scolded, Jordan let out a laugh and they started eating in silence, he brought out the wine and watched as Jord

Liam opened his eyes again a few hours after they went to sleep again, it was probably noon already but he couldn't tell, he was too lazy to look for his cellphone and check the time, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, Jordan's soft snores filling his ears, he didn't know how he was feeling, he couldn't just place the feeling right now, it was unnameable, it was a mixture of fear and excitement, fear of the unknown and excitement because he knew that after this weekend, he would finally be rid of the barrier that had been a major problem in his life even though he never did acknowledge it was a problem until it was taking his life away, the doorbell rang and he quickly got up to go answer the door so that Jordan won't be disturbed.He walked to the door wondering which one of the parents was here already, he knew it would be them, he opened the door and his mom's face greeted him."How did I know you will be the first to turn up? Mom? It is still early in the morning you know,"He

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

"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
