Emma’s POV“Hey,” Liam called out to me softly. “What?” I asked, rubbing my eyes in an attempt to adjust them to the brightness of the sun that was beaming into the car through the windows. I didn’t even realize I had slept off. “We’re here,” he smiled, turning his head the other way to look at the cabin in front of us. “Oh my God,” I gasped. “This place is beautiful, Liam”. “You think so?” he looked back at me with the smile still on his face. “Absolutely. Wow,” I breathed out. “Is this yours?” I asked as I unbuckled my belt. “Something like that,” he answered, stepping out of the car. I stepped out too and we converged in front of the building. It was small but big at the same time. I’m not sure what wood was used in building it, but it was beautiful.“What do you mean by that?”“It’s my grandfather’s place,” he sighed. “Oh,” I was stunned. I didn’t know how to react to that because I was most definitely not prepared for it. “Mhm. He left it to me when he died but I haven’
Emma’s POVWhat the fuck?!This has to be a joke. Did I hear him well?I doubt because what the actual fuck did Liam just say to me?!Love? How? When? Where? What?All these thoughts kept floating through my head as I slowly started releasing myself from his embrace. It happened so slowly that I didn’t even realize I had stopped holding him until I was a few inches away from him. “Emma,” he called my name out, softly, breaking me out from my chain of multiple thoughts.“What?” “Are you okay? You look like you’re about to throw up”. “Yeah, well I’m currently standing naked in a dirty lake, and you just told me that you love me. Excuse me if wanting to hurl is something that I feel like doing at this moment,” I snapped at him. “I’m sorry,” he said, quietly. I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “I’m sorry. I just, I can’t do this right me,” I said, hurriedly as I rushed out of the water. I picked up my clothes and put on my shirt and underwear then ran into the cab
Emma’s POV“Hey,” I spoke up after a long while of silence. “Hi,” he replied shortly after. “Still not ready to come out?”“I am,” I said, unlocking the door and opening it. He was sitting up against the side of the door frame, clear from the door itself. I’m sure he thought that whenever I was ready to open the door I’d do so abruptly and cause him to fall back hard so he just went against doing that altogether. I noticed he dropped a stick on the floor when he saw me, a stick I’m sure he had been playing with to alleviate his boredom.“Hi,” he said again, standing up from the floor, making sure to dust his body off any dirt he may have sat on. “You good?”“Mhm,” I nodded. “You really sat out here the whole time?” I asked with a small smile forming on my lips.“Of course. I did tell you that I wasn’t moving till you were ready to speak to me and I didn’t plan to go back on my word. So, are you ready to talk now?”“I don’t know,” I sighed. “I mean, what exactly is there for us to ta
Emma’s POVIt was morning. I didn’t even realize it when Liam and I slept off, but I woke up in his arms on the couch.I needed to pee, so I gently removed his arms from around my waist and ran to the bathroom. When I was done, I decided to use the opportunity to brush my teeth as well before I came back into the living room and just sat on the rocking chair opposite the couch he was on, staring at him as I began thinking about everything that had happened yesterday. After he gave me the shocking news about him and Anna’s breakup last night, I knew that I was truly the only one with one leg in and the other leg out at that point. So yeah, our moving forward as a couple really solely depended on me and the decision I made.Since he told me he was actually single now, I decided to come clean and tell me exactly how I felt about him; that I loved him and have felt that way for a long time, even though a big part of me believes we won’t ever be together for real. He appreciated my hone
Emma’s POV“Is that all your stuff?” Liam asked, grabbing my bag from me as he loaded up the car. “Yeah”. “You sure?” he looked at me skeptically. “I don’t know if you know this but you kind of sort of tend to forget things in certain places”. “Wow,” I dragged out slowly. “So that’s what you think about me?” I smacked his arm. “Seriously, Emma. You’ve got to stop hitting me,” he whined, massaging his arm. “Any more of this and I’d have to report you for abuse”. “I’d like to see you try,” I scoffed, sticking out my tongue at him. “Such a child,” he rolled his eyes. “Wait a minute,” he paused and scanned me. “Where’s your locket?” he asked, tilting his head to the side a bit. “Oh my God!” I shouted then ran back inside to get it. “There. Now I’m all set,” I said, putting it on as I walked back out of the cabin. “Thanks for reminding me. I’d have been devastated if I forgot this here”. “I can imagine. It’s no worry though. I’d have always come around to get it if you did leave
Emma’s POVAfter Liam and I had made up with each other, we spent the next hour being lazy and sitting down in the living room just on our phones while snacking on the rest of the things we had bought that were supposed to have been eaten at the cabin yesterday. Liam was the first one to get tired of doing that and after yawning multiple times, he decided to finally go up to his room to take a nap, leaving me alone downstairs. At the time he had left me, it was a little past 4 p.m., so I just decided to remain downstairs and watch a movie because I knew that if. I was to go up to my room, I would sleep, and if I slept off, there was no way to wake up in time to head over to Sammy’s place this evening and I couldn’t afford to not do that today. I had to go. I needed to go. After scrolling through my options on Netflix for a few minutes, I decided to watch Rick and Morty. I watched about three episodes before checking my phone and realizing it was already thirty minutes past six o’cl
Emma’s POV“Girl!” Sammy exclaimed, jerking back a bit because of how shocked she was. “No way”. “Yes way,” I nodded. “Oh my God,” she gasped, bringing her hands up to cover her mouth that had fallen open. “What the fuck?!”“I know, right? Trust me, I was just as shocked as you are right now”. I chuckled dryly. “Imagine the shock on my face as he said that to me while we were both standing naked in an open lake. Like I’ve literally never wanted to get out of a water body so fast”. “Wow,” she breathed out. “I mean, while I’m shocked that he confessed his feelings to you like that and out of the blue, I just can’t help but wonder what made him do it. Is it because of what his dad wanted to make you do or what?” she asked me.“I have no idea,” I sighed, shaking my head. “All I know is that whatever or whoever it was that convinced him, the person did a really great job in doing so”. “Huh? Why do you say so?”“He broke up with Anna just before we went away”. “What?!” she yelled, shock
Liam’s POVAfter Emma had asked me to go see my dad on Monday, it was most definitely bothering me. I didn’t have a chance to go over there on that Monday in particular, neither did I have a chance to get there on Tuesday as I was pulled into multiple meetings, so I put it in mind to go over there today, Wednesday, especially because my dad was supposed to have shown up to work today for a board meeting but didn’t. Once work was over for the day, thankfully I didn’t have anything spill into overtime, I headed straight over to my parents' house. “Hi, Lilian,” I smiled tiredly, greeting Lilian as I walked into the house. “Hello and good evening, Mr. Liam. How are you doing today?” she asked, her usual bubbly smile plastered across her lips. “I’m good. Thank you. And you?” I asked. “Very well. Would you like me to get you anything? Something to eat or drink perhaps?”“No thanks,” I chuckled lightly. “I’m just here to have a talk with my parents. My dad mostly. Where is he?”“Well,
