Liam's mom asked again and Jordan realized he hadn't replied to her."Thank you, ma'am, my name is Jordan,"He finally responded."Nice to meet you Jordan, my son might not have said a lot about you because he is such a secretive man but I am so glad to finally meet you.""Thank you ma,""You are welcome, so can I ask you a few questions about you, if you don't mind?"She asked. Here it goes Jordan thought preparing himself for the loads of questions, not like he could say no anyway."Sure, you can ask me anything,""Okay good, both of your parents are around right?""Yes ma'am, they are,""Any siblings? And where do your family live? We live in Los Angeles,"Liam's mother said."No, I don't have any siblings, I am an only child and my parents do live here in New York,""Wow, that's cool, so what do you do? As you know my son is a pharmacist, he wanted to be a cardiologist or a neurologist but we felt that was too hard for him and will be too stressful and thankfully he agreed to be a

Liam turned to face his parents when Jordan left, he didn't even know where to start from, he hadn't expected them at all, maybe that's the reason his mom hadn't called for over a week plus now, and he had told she had finally given in, he should have known his parents will pull a stunt like this,Liam didn't like that his parents are here, no, he didn't have a good feeling about this, and with the way, Jordan acted when he had come in he could sense that his parents had talked to him, he just wished they could just leave him the hell alone and just let him make his decision as an adult."Why are you guys here?""Isn't obvious, we can't sit and just watch you die, Liam,""Dad, I am not going to die, stop talking as if I am dying tomorrow,"He responded."But you are, you are dying and yet you are not doing anything to help yourself,""Did you talk to Jordan about it? Did you tell him?"He asked hoping against all hope that they didn't speak to Jordan about his health condition, he did

She said pointing at his father who nodded. Seriously, his mom was petty."Whatever mom, so long as we are not sleeping in the same space plus I have to work so, you won't have that much time to bug me,""Bro, you don't know what I can do,"His mom responded, Liam texted Jordan just as they were leaving the house, he told him he will be back so that they can talk."Okay, which hotel are you guys using?"He asked."You know the best of the best,"His mom said."Show off,""Of course, I earned it,""Nah, more like you are a lucky lady who got super-rich parents and then got married into another rich family,""And I work idiot,"His mom said hitting him at the back of his head, it was so unexpected, she never hits him, he kind of liked it a lot, she was so damn protective that it felt like a refreshing change, he smiled to himself as he drove them to the best hotel he knew."Wait, did you guys come alone?"He asked noting the absence of someone his parents never travel without. Richard.

Jordan sat in his room, not like he was doing anything, he just wasn't in the mood to go out, Liam wasn't home yet, he took his parents to the hotel yesterday and didn't come back, he did send a text that he will be spending the night with them and that was it, no calls after that, he knew he shouldn't feel insured or whatever because he knew Liam loves him a lot and it was his parents but somehow he felt left out, when he had gotten home from his walk yesterday, he had expected to see Liam back home since he said he was just going to drop off his parents but then he didn't and late at night as at nine pm, he had sent a one sentence text, I am sorry I can't make it home tonight, spending the night with my parents,' and that was it, Jordan had at least expected him to call this morning but he didn't and when he did call, his phone didn't go through, which was the reason he was feeling left out."Let's not go there,"He said out loud, he wished Liam would at least call him, today was al

"Dad, you are not old, stop making excuses for yourself for forgetting your only child's birthdate,"He accused."I am sorry, do what brings you to our house, it is so rare to see you here, what do we own the visit?"His dad asked changing the topic."Do I need a reason to come visit my parents? This house is mine too in case you have forgotten,""Bro, you and I both know you don't come around that often, when was the last time you came here?"His dad asked, he tried to think and all he could come up with was months ago when he had brought Katrina over so that she could forget her pains when Lucas had broken her heart, now they were married and even had a kid. That wasn't so nice seeing that he was their only child but they disturb him all the time and even visit him unannounced he felt he has seen enough of them."Well I am here now, so give me food I am hungry,"He said. as he followed his mom into the kitchen, his dad came a little later, even though they must have eaten before the
ECHOES OF LOVE 62
Liam wanted to scream out his frustration, he couldn't believe he was letting his parents do this to him, he wasn't a child and he shouldn't let them treat him as one but at the same time, he was their child and one can only push their parents to some extent, yes he knew he was pushing his parents but it wasn't because he wanted to that's not what he intended, they just had conflicted choices and he knew the more time he spent with them the more they are going to nag him, in this case though, he understood where they were coming from, he was scared too when that shit happened to him, he was scared that it might be the end for him.”They are just projecting their fear on me,"He said out loud, this wasn't the first time he witness so much pain, the first had not been this severe but at least he didn't overreact like his parents were doing now."Mom, until when do you plan on keeping me here? I told you I am fine already, I don't feel any pain or ache again,"Liam said to his mom who sa

"It's not going to come back,""Really? How sure are you mom? It happened before, remember? I fucking hard this surgery before, if it didn't stop it do you think it will now?"He questioned bitterly, his parents especially his mom refuse to see his point of view, they were only thinking about helping him stay with them and they were not weighing the cons enough."Technology is better now, science has improved, medicine has improved too, the risk factor is not much anymore which is why I am sure if you can just get over yourself and do the needful we won't need to result to shits like this but the more you continue acting the way you are right now the more problem you create,"His mom said. Liam decided to just give up on making her see his reasons, it was clear to him that no matter what he says his mom wasn't going to see his reasons, talking to her wasn't helping anyone of them, even his dad isn't helping, he wasn't so overbearing but if only he could just tell his woman to leave hi
ECHOES OF LOVE 64
Jordan looked bored at the screen, there was nothing fun about working today, he wasn't even looking forward to going home because Liam has still not shown his face and it has been five days since he left with his parents, apart from the second day that he called that he will be home the next day, he hasn't called him since, his mom did call though, to tell him he was fine and would be back soon and that was it, she didn't tell him why he wasn't coming home and all, he wanted to ask but she had hung up before he did."Jordan? Are you even here?"Jordan heard Philip's voice, he looked around to see his teammates watching him."Huh, what did you say?""I am asking for the outcome of your meeting with Mrs. Will,""Mrs. Will? I am supposed to meet up with her?"Jordan asked confused."Yes, you are, didn't you?""No, I didn't know I was supposed to,""What? I told you that yesterday, you were supposed to meet her today, seriously dude what the fuck is wrong with you?""Phil, no swear words

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
