Two years ago,"Merry Christmas" we all shouted in unison, The people around us were laughing and hugging wishing each other. It's midnight exactly and all the church members were sitting around the bonfire waiting for midnight. The representative's blast beautiful fireworks, the skies fill with multiple colours, Liam grips my hand tighter as we watch the firework display, it's such a beautiful moment, I wanted to replay it over and over again. "Merry Christmas scar, I love you so much " he whispers in my ears kissing my cheek. We were at the back so it's hard for people to see us, I grin up at him mouthing back the word 'I love you' If only I could stay like this forever. Soon, my parents came to wish me, my mom pinching my cheek playfully. "Merry Christmas love " "Merry Christmas mom, where is daddy?" I ask looking around for my dad. "He went to sleep early honey, are you ready to go back?" "Hmm, mom can I stay a bit longer, Liam can drop me home," I ask hoping she would say y
Continue......."Hello" Liam speaks in the phone, Sienna pulls back as soon as she kisses my cheek, I grimace at the feel of her lips."Yes, Aunt we'll be back" Liam speaks in the phone. All pairs of eyes are focused on him, the guys whistle at Sienna and I but both of us were glaring at each other. I don't care if she finds out about Liam and me as long as she backs off."Liam is that mom?" I ask sitting down beside him."It's not" he whispers in my ears, I look at him questioningly."I'll tell you later " he replies tugging me close to him. I could see our peers casting glances towards us.Bryan spin the bottle again, finally pointing towards Liam, I could hear my heart beating suddenly."Liam truth or dare?" Sienna asked in excitement."Truth" he announces. I release a breath of relief unknowingly."Okay, Do you have someone you like?" She asks her eyes fill with hope. Some of them nod their head approvingly at the question. Sienna and her friends were squealing while I roll my eye
Present-day.....It's been three months since my mom and dad left me, three months since Liam came back, nobody would tell me about my parents and I stop asking. My board exam just ended last week, I would be going to college in the summer, away from the town. I still have three more months until college, three months to finally escape from this place. "Scarlet you hear me?" Jamie waves her finger in front of my face. We've been working together for almost a week now, the first day she came to work Jamie got a whole lot of scolding from our rude boss. Ashton hardly smiles to everyone which is so hard for Jamie and I. Jamie being so clumsy knock over the books in the second row earning three minutes session of warning from Aston, the poor girl is almost in the verge of tears when Ashton scolded her in front of many strangers, the second day she came she's a lot more okay when asked if she was always clumsy, she replied was " Oh I forgot to wear my glasses yesterday " we both have laug
Aunt left an hour ago and I am stuck with Liam in the hospital, the doctor came and gave him pain killers, he's been asleep for almost half an hour now, Liam snores a little while I sat in the chair next to his bead. His light brown hair falls over his eyes, almost covering it. When I look at him closer he looks a little bit older, his lips parted slightly, his chest heaving up and down. I long to trace his face with my fingers but refrain from doing so. My phone vibrates beside me indicating a message. I smile when I see Jamie sending me pictures of her dad diner. My phone beeps with another text, but this time it was from an unknown number. I open the text and the picture shock me. It is a picture of my parents again, but this time they were sitting with some other people. Their faces are not visible, but I knew it was my parents from first glance. Liam stirred in his sleep making me turn my attention towards him, I wonder who it was who kept taking photos of my parents. It can't
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, I tried to move but an arm holds me in place, I peer my eyes open taking in the sight of the hospital wall and ceilings. Suddenly last night events rush in my head making my heart thump, God how foolish I was to kiss him like starve women. My face heated when the image of us kissing hungrily flash in my mind, Liam is sleeping peacefully his arms encircling my waist tightly. "Liam" I shake him a little, he stirred a little but went back to sleep, making me frown. I lift his arms and push his hands away slipping out of the bed. The time in my phone says 6 am, I put on my black blazer and with one last look towards Liam I left the room. I text Aunt Ruth saying I left for work early. The sky is still dark when I step out if the hospital, the cities looks so beautiful with lights and streetlights.If only life was this beautiful, I thought. I texted Jamie if I could come to her place, luckily for me, Jamie texted me back with yes and Jumping s
Continue..... I walk up the stairs heading towards the guest room I am staying, Liam walks out of his room with crutches his face wincing a little. He looks up, our eyes meeting, none of us knew how to act, after standing wordlessly for almost a minute Liam walk past me groaning slightly. "Do you need help?" I asked. "It's fine," he says coldly. Huffing, I turn back and take hold of his arms letting him lean on me. " I said it's fine," he says frowning at me when I look up to see his face considering he's 6 feet tall."Yeah, and the dinner will be done if you walk at that pace," I said grinning up at him. His lips twitch at my words, we walk down together slowly step by step, Aunt Ruth rushing towards us when she sees us. "Liam I'll kill you myself if you drive so carelessly again" Aunt Ruth chided. "Mom I said it's not my fault " he deadpans. I pinch his waist making him wince. "Don't give me that shit, I am saying be careful next time, you're lucky you only hurt your legs"
FuckWhy does this keep on happening?"But Angel how did you-""I came to visit you, I heard about your accident?" Angel clings to Liam talking like Janice from Friends. Meanwhile, I was frozen in shock at the presence of my parents."Mom when did you?" I stuttered."We came like ten minutes ago," she said coming towards me, She hugs me tightly sniffing my hair"You smell so good darling, come greet your dad" I nod my head and walk towards dad, my steps hesitant. I thought I would be happy seeing them but I can't bring myself to feel happy. They left me for three months with no news or any word and they expect me to welcome them with my arms wide open?"Scarlet " dad greets me smiling slightly that didn't reach his eyes."Hi dad " I wave my hand and stood awkwardly next to him."I am sorry we couldn't come ea
"Scarlett " Jamie shrieks running away from me, I burst out laughing at her splashing the water, the sound of her screaming and shrieking echo through the night in the swimming pool. Jamie refused to swim saying she already showered but I refuse to let her have her way because she blames me here for coming here in the first place."Come in the water " I yell and duck my head under the water, my heart feels a little light as I stay under the water for another thirty minutes. I look around for Jamie but she's nowhere in sight.I step out of the pool covering myself with the towel, my teeth chattering from the coldness. I hurriedly put on my clothes and dry my hair with the towel and step inside that resembles a living room. I still can't believe Ashton lives alone in a place like a mansion, his house is too damn huge I need a map if I was to come again.I sauntered in what seems like to be the living room and heave in
BonusLiamI am fed up listening to Crystal talking to her girlfriend, I just want to go home but I am stuck with my work. Willow and Scarlet are at my place tonight and I fucking can't wait to see them.It's almost 8 and by now I know Willow will be falling asleep, my daughter is my angel and I can't lose her. Last night, I had the best night with Scarlet. The feel of her soft body under my body in paradise. I love her small moans and even the slightest thing she does._______________________When I step into my place, I am shocked to see all the lights turned off. Usually, when they are asleep, the living room is lighted b
EPILOGUEChapter 90“Happy birthday!” we all shouted in unison when Willow and Liam stepped into the living room. Willowed gasped and watched at the decoration in amazement. The living room is filled with balloons and the posture of her from since she was a baby.Jamie, Isha, Lee, Justin, my dad, Oliver, Angel and David sang happy birthday while Liam helped her with cutting the cake. She's jumping up and down wearing her Rapunzel m gown, she looked like a real princess who is very very naughty. As a surprise, I bought her the cycle she wanted me to buy and Liam bought her puppy which she is yet to find out.“Sing a song, birthday g
Chapter 89“Does this look okay?” I asked, Jamie showing her the strapless black dress I bought two months ago. She is about to fall asleep sitting in my bed. Jamie is five months pregnant; she's the cutest pregnant woman I ever come across with.“Oh My God! I think my baby is pinching my stomach” she grimaces in pain, I laugh at her way of the word she is using.“Your baby is fine, Jamie. He doesn't want his mom to suffer by pinching your wombs” after thinking for a minute, she nods her head and tries to doze off again until I throw the newspaper in her head.
Chapter 88RecapHe cupped my cheek and slammed his lips on mine when all I could do was close my eyes and kiss it back feverishly. Our lips move sensually like they have a brain of its own. Liam continued to tug me closer and kissed me deeply until his phone rang and broke us apart.My lips tingle and I bite my lip, a small smile playing on my lips. It's been so long we last kissed and it somehow left me excited. Liam beside us hadn't said anything after that kiss and was driving towards his place staring ahead without blinking. Me, being the creepy lady, stared at his profile and his pink lips that taste so delicious and also the lips
Chapter 87The morning hues and the coldness of the winter season in the morning is one of the most beautiful views along with the most satisfying sensation, the freezing dewdrops in your skin gives you the cold and fresh feeling. I wish there was winter all year round.It's been three months since Grey's departure and also the beginning of the winter season.Willow turns five in a week and I can't help but wonder how time flies. She's the best daughter in the whole wide world, not only she gave me happiness; I felt complete with my daughter.
Chapter 86It's Monday morning and I still can't get over the fact that Grey left today. Willow hasn't known about Grey's departure and I don't know what I would say if she asked me. I just hope she won't ask me.As for Liam, he hasn't contacted me after he hung up on me.My cell phone lays on the table with only notification from the company or Jamie sending multiple texts asking to go shopping tomorrow which I gladly declined but that girl is adamant.“Mommy, Why isn't Daddy coming to visit us?” Willow strolled into my room with a pout. I motion
Chapter 85She gave me love, and I gave her pain. I still remember the days she held me in her arms begging me not to leave her and I didRegret is sin, but I am drowning in regret, She looked lifeless when I left her that day, those eyes were haunting me for months, I couldn't understand why a man had to hurt a woman and I am a man that hurt my girl. Protecting her was my ambition, and I was the one who gave up on her. I don't deserve love, If she ever forgives me, She's the purest Gem.This is the third time I read over the word, again and again, it's official I'm a fan of this author. Jamie is a babe for gifting me
Chapter 84“Why did he do that?” I whined while taking a sip of another juice pretending to be an alcoholic. Jamie being a good friend kept me a companion while I was whining the whole time about Liam.“Come on, you can't be that mad at him, he's doing the best for you believe it or not” I glared her way not believing a single thing.“But he should have asked me first” I took another sip of grape juice and felt a little heavy with all those liquids I drank.“Stop drinking, You are making me worry” I ignored her whining and checked my phone to see
Chapter 83I thought I was doing for the best but apparently Liam thinks the other, he ignored every of my messages and calls and now I am left with Whining Willow.“Mommy, Why is daddy not picking up!? He doesn't love me anymore?” She's been asking me those questions for the past half hour. I tried to cheer her up as much as I could but She's not listening to me. She's truly my baby. Stubborn as a bull!“Baby, Come on eat those '' she pouts and sat in her seat clutching my phone to her chest.“Daddy is busy, baby, he'll call you after his w
