ECHOES OF LOVE 186
Liam stared at the man in front of him, he wasn’t even smiling but Liam felt his heart race, maybe it was the alcohol in the cake he took, since he wasn’t a drinker, anything could make him tipsy, or probably the glass of wine he had before he started eating, whatever it was, it wasn’t doing him any good, he should have stayed away from anything that contained alcohol, or he should have not shown up here in the first place, but how was he supposed to know that the man would be here and that he will be affected by him? No way for him to have known that, why was he looking at him too, and with those longing eyes, it made it impossible for him to look away and everything else in the room faded away and it was just them, looking at each other with his heartbeat increasing by the seconds.“Liam, son? Are you okay? You look pale?”His mom asked, touching him and shaking him out of his trance, he broke eye contact with Jordan and looked at his mom, forcing a smile.“I am fine mom, you don’t

“That must have been nice?”He said after a while.“It was,”“So? Are you going to tell me why I haven’t been seeing you around? Yes, I know you work but you just don’t show up anymore,”He questioned.“Why are you suddenly curious about me Liam? You told me to fuck off your face, now that I did, why are you still asking questions?”He asked and Liam wondered why he was curious too, maybe because of the long talks he had with Mark which sometimes involves talks about Jordan too even though Mark tried as much as possible not to mention his name or changed the topic when he did speak about him, Liam had been tempted to ask him about Jordan but always stopped himself and told himself it was none of his business, maybe he should have asked.“I am just curious to know,”“Don’t be curious about me Liam, just be cold-hearted towards me like you were when you woke up from the coma, don’t try to be nice to me now, I don’t need it,”Jordan warned.“I am not being nice to you, what are you even
ECHOES OF LOVE 188
Jordan couldn’t believe what was happening, Liam was kissing him, this has to be a dream, he just knew that the whole shit was a dream, no way was Liam’s lips against his asking for entrance, he knew he shouldn’t allow him even if it was a dream but he missed Liam so much, even though he tried not to admit it to himself, he missed his touch, missed kissing him.Okay to be clear, he started the kiss but he didn’t think he would let him kiss him nor did he expect Liam to take over the kiss.All night, it has been pure torture being in the same house with Liam and having him not say a word or even acknowledge him, he couldn’t even say hi or make eye contact with him, it had gotten to the point that Jordan just needed to get out of the house only for Liam to follow him and start asking him questions, from the moment he had arrived, all Jordan wanted to do was throw himself at him, he missed him so much and nothing has even changed for him, Liam was still the same person for him.The kiss?

“Why are you running away? Don’t tell me you really thought much of the kiss. Bro grow up, it is literally just a kiss, or haven’t you kissed someone before? Are you a virgin bro? You can’t be right? So you can’t be running away just because we shared a kiss,”Liam said. Jordan didn’t bother to respond to him, there was no point in engaging with him as he would just keep saying things that would make him more pissed, he walked back through the part he had taken before, walked past both of their parents in the living room and out of the house, his mom was with him as soon as he was outside.“Jordan, what’s going on? What happened?”She asked with concern, lancing her words.“When are you guys leaving? It is late,”He said avoiding her questions.“We originally planned on spending the night here but if you don’t want to, we can leave, their son is here too and I am sure he wants to have some alone time with his parents too,”His mom said and nodded in appreciation.“Can we do that pleas

“Did you guys fight? Were you being rude and mean to him again?”His mom asked after Jordan and his parents left, he didn’t know why his parents would think he was the one at fault and why did he even let them sit him down by this time of the night to question him. He should just leave, he still had time, it was just past eleven and it was Christmas Eve so people would still be up and about.After Jordan left him, he had walked back down to meet his parents walking out with his mom glaring at him.“Are you not going to answer my question, Liam? He was cool and smiling until you went to meet him when he stepped out, then he came back and he had this sad look, what did you say to him this time?”She asked in an annoyed voice.“What makes you think I said something to him that made him like that?”He asked even though he knew he did say something, he couldn’t blame himself, he hadn’t expected to like kissing him that much and had been thrown off balance by it, not that it was any good of

“Yes, that’s what I told him because that’s what it is, it was just a kiss nothing more, I told him not to get too excited about it,”“I don’t know how I raised you, Liam, maybe I did such a poor job, how could you say that to him? Are you out of your mind? That’s the most heartless thing to say right after kissing him,”She fired at him.“Mom, to be fair, he kissed me first not the other way around, and also, it is not like I fucked him, it was just a kiss damn it,”He let out.“Liam! Language,”His mom scolded.“I am sorry mom, but you are making it seem I am a huge villain here, I didn’t do anything wrong, if for anything, you should be on my side in this, not on his side, I am your son and moms support their sons,”He lamented.“Not this mom, Liam, you hear me? I am not among you out to be a villain, you are the one putting the words in my mouth, I am just telling you that what you did was wrong, even if he kissed you first, it meant more to him and having you reduce it to nothing

“Jordan? Aren’t you coming out of your room today either? You have been indoors the whole time you have been here, we barely even see you, except you want to eat and you don't talk to us either, I am honestly so worried about you son, can you talk to me already? We used to be friends,"His mom said while knocking on his door, she was exaggerating. Of course, he has been out of the house a couple of times in the last couple of days, he just didn’t stay out long and spent most of the time in his room alone, he felt guilty for not at least engaging them in talks or even sitting with them but he couldn't help it, he just wanted to be on his own, she kept banging on his door, he rolled his eyes, she damn well knew it wasn't locked.“Mom, stop banging on my door and just open it, it’s not like it is locked!”He yelled and she opened the door and walked into his room, she walked close to his bed and stood over him.“It’s New Year’s Eve, aren’t you going to time square? You use to go there ev

“Is Lucas there? You are me calling baby,”He said with a laugh as he didn’t want to go into deep emotional shits.“Shut up, Lucas knows his place when it comes to you,”“Wow, you just cursed,”He reminded her.“And whose fault is it? I miss you so much Jordan, I might not be able to keep up with you and be there but know that I love you okay?”“That’s one of the things I am sure of the most Kat, don’t worry, I know,”“Good,”“Liam and I kissed,”He suddenly announced when there was silence, the words were out before he could think about whether he should tell her or not.“What? When? How? What happened Jordan? Did you guys make up?”She asked in an eager voice.“No, we didn’t makeup,”He replied feeling sad, he wished that was the case.“Oh, then what happened? How did you guys end up kissing?”“I met him at his parent's house when I went there to be with mom and dad when I arrived home on Christmas Eve, we kissed and he told me it was just a kiss after, I got back home, cried and I

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 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

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
