The Aquarium

2024-10-29 19:42:56When we're out shopping, he doesn't act irritated or bored. He smiles and talks and points out different dresses and shakes his head at a few choices I try on.
I settle, in the end, for a black wrap dress that hits right above my knees and accentuates my chest. I pick out a pair of heels to go with it and when we're done, we go out to lunch.We sit in the same Italian restaurant as the day before, but this time by ourselves and he grins as he peruses the menu."You're happy.""Hell yeah, I am. You know how good the breadsticks are here?""No. I didn't get to eat before I got pissed yesterday."He nodded. "I remember. They're good. So are you satisfied with how yesterday went?""No. I...I felt like we couldn't talk because of Sarah being there. It kind of sounded like they talked over everything and it's kind of bullsh*t."He nodded. "I felt that too. Maybe not the part about her cheating, but everything else feRelated chapters
Unapologetically Me Pizza Chats
After the aquarium, I went back to the hotel and stayed for the rest of the evening. Even when Liam laid on my bed and practically begged me to come, I refused. I had enough of James and Sarah until the wedding, so after he left, I changed into comfy clothes, ordered some food for dinner, and laid in bed and watched movies.I also cyberstalked Liam. I couldn't help myself. After that small kiss, I couldn't stop myself from doing that. Neither of us had commented on it after we gave each other our gifts and I had to admit, I was a bit bummed about it.I wanted to know what it meant to him. I mean, I know he did it for the pictures, but thinking about it now made my heart flutter and the butterflies in my stomach rustle.So I ate some pizza and scrolled through pictures of Liam on his social media pages.I didn't know what to make of him. He was sweet. And I honestly had not seen him even grab his phone for work at all since I'd been here. Just to a
Unapologetically Me Church
My stomach was in knots. I got dressed in my black dress and heels and got armored up today with red lipstick, and a smoky eye. Liam left last night around midnight after our second movie was over with a warning to be ready by noon since the wedding started at one. I sat on my bed put on my earrings and wiped my sweaty hands on my dress. I shaved everything in the shower that morning and felt ready. I could face this. Liam arrived at twelve on the dot and when he saw me in the lobby of the hotel, his eyebrows raised and he whistled. "Looks like you're all decked out for a funeral." I scoffed at his comment and stepped back. "Does this look okay?" "Yeah. More than okay. I don't know how many times I have to tell you for you to believe me, but you're gorgeous. I'm sure it'll be hard for James to say his vows with you in the room." I roll my eyes and he laughs. He leads me out to his SUV and I ta
Unapologetically Me Wedding
The music starts playing and everyone settles down. I take a deep breath and watch as the doors open up right next to me. James walks in with his mom and dad and his eyes find me right away. He looks away immediately and walks up to the front where the priest is waiting.Then the wedding party comes in pairs. Justice walks down wearing a pale pink satin dress holding Liam's arm. He has a pale pink vest cummerbund and tie. When he sees me, he winks and walks up to the front. Instead of going to James side, he goes to where Sarah is going to be and Justice stands behind her brother.Jordan walks out with some random girl. He spots me immediately and his face turns pink and he gives me a tight smile. Maybe being in the back was a bad idea. Everyone can see me here.More people made their way down the aisle, but I kept my face forward. I had two sets of eyes on me from the front and I felt my face burn. Liam was watching me with a small smile and Jam
Unapologetically Me Reception Part 1
We made it inside after admiring our picture and I took a deep breath. They had name place cards on different tables and Liam took my hand and led me to where he was supposed to be sitting. His name card sat at the table, squished in between Vivian and another person. He looked around the table and pressed his lips together. "What the f*ck?" He whispered. He looked around as people found their places and I took a deep breath. "She probably didn't plan for you to bring a plus one." "I told her I was." "It's okay. I'm sure I'll find a spot." "No. You should have been seated by me. This is Sarah playing her little f*cking games." He shook his head angrily and looked around the grand ballroom. When he spotted Sarah talking to someone near the front where she was going to be sitting with James, he took off. I sighed and followed him. He waited patiently by her side for her to finish
Unapologetically Me Reception Part 2
"Are you sure?"I smiled at Liam and nodded, still feeling my eyes sting with tears and my throat ache."Yup.""You...you said you don't drink. Is it...are you an alcoholic?"I laughed at his concern and shook my head. "No. My mom was. I just have a fear of becoming her. One drink won't hurt." I looked up at his worried olive eyes and he nodded."Alright. Let's go."He turned us around from my table and led us to the bar. It was small and manned by two people who seemed swamped. But two shots wouldn't hurt them."What do you like?" He asked as he stepped up to the bar. I shrugged and looked at the options."Whiskey. It's what my mom always had.""Okay."He ordered us a couple of shots and handed me one. I looked down at the amber liquid and closed my eyes. I downed it all in one go and grimaced at the taste. "Ugh." The warmth of the alcohol traveled down to my empty stomach. Liam watc
Unapologetically Me After the Reception
It was hard to concentrate on any of the toasts or pretty much anything else when all I could think about was Liam's eyes and his mouth and going home with him. And true to his word, as soon as the attention was off of him and the cake was being cut, he grabbed my hand and nearly dragged me out of the hotel, out to his SUV. The tension was thick in the small space in between us as he started up his vehicle, and I knew if either of us deigned to touch each other, we wouldn't be able to make it to either of our places. And I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I traced the curve of his lips and the strong angle of his jaw. He had shaved his face for the wedding and looked pristine. I could almost imagine feeling his smooth face in between my legs and I bit my lip. I squeezed my thighs together and took a deep breath. Was I so starved for sex that I didn't even care if he saw how desperate I was? I kind of felt embarrassed by it
Unapologetically Me Brunch
At my hotel room, I quickly went to the closet and looked through it. I grabbed a plain white crop top tee a pair of high-waisted, distressed jeans that tapered at my ankles, and a pair of white sneakers. I grabbed a thong from a drawer stripped off Liam's shirt and threw it on the bed. He inhaled deeply, his eyes trained on me as I dressed and I pressed my lips together to hide my smile. Once I was dressed, I walked into the bathroom when I had my makeup scattered over the counter. I chose red lipstick again and just a layer of mascara. Nothing too dramatic. I grabbed my purse sitting next to him since he brought it in and made sure my wallet was inside before I smiled at him. "Okay, I'm ready." Liam was still watching me with a strange look and he shook his head. "You could wear a burlap sack and still look f*cking delicious. James is the king of id*ots for letting you go." "Did my p*ssy brainwash you?" I a
Unapologetically Me Airport Nagging
James and Sarah get into the SUV a few minutes later and I pretend to get into my phone so I don't have to make any small talk. It's already weird enough being in the same vehicle as them, but now I had sex with Liam and we're all connected strangely, and...yeah."So...did you guys enjoy the wedding?" Sarah chirps from behind me. I bite my lip and nod. "Yeah, it was fun.""Yep," Liam answered. Neither of us said anything else and Liam turned on the radio. "That's good. I'm glad you two had fun. Some more than others, right Liam?" I saw her sit forward and touch Liam's neck. He moved away from her with a scowl."Shut up, Sarah." He muttered."Well, it's true! You hate hickeys. You have always hated them, so whoever she was must have done a number on you if you let her do that."I raised my eyebrows but kept my eyes on my phone. Oops. My bad."You're digging, Sarah," Liam said quietly."Yeah. Because yo

Unapologetically Me Making a home
I have found myself to be more relaxed than I have ever been before and it all has to do with Liam. I go to school and because my schedule for work is so different now, I actually have time to study. I have lunches with him almost every day and when I'm off and he comes home, I'm deliriously happy.It feels almost too good to be true, which is the scariest part. I feel like here lately I've been too happy and something sh*tty is about to come around the corner and bite me in the ass. And I wait for it. I may be comfortable, but it doesn't mean that I'm not waiting for my happiness to turn to ashes in my mouth.Until then, I'm enjoying just being with him. When his stuff arrives from Boston I unpack most of it while he's at work after school. I hang up his expensive looking suits and fill the bathroom vanity with all of his toiletries. I'm happy seeing my space being shared by someone I care about. I'm excited and also scared of the future that is coming o
Unapologetically Me Job Interview
LiamIt's done. Everything to do with my parents and my old life is finished. I'm home. It's exactly how it feels, laying next to a sleeping Kelly, watching her chest rise and fall underneath her sheets.I have an important interview in the morning, but I'm too wired to sleep. I had been at the airport when I had talked to Kelly before she went to work and although I was tired as hell, especially after ravaging my beautiful woman, I couldn't sleep.Seeing her walk into the club in the lacy lingerie had me wired. She was sexy as hell, I knew that, but seeing her in action at work, even before I paid for six dances, there was no denying that she was a goddess. I smile at the memory of her shoving my money back in my hand as soon as we get home. "I didn't dance for you, so you take it back." "I don't care, Kelly. Keep it. It's from your job.""Ew. No. It makes me feel icky if you pay for me to do stuff for you. I like giving it to
Unapologetically Me Staying
Leaving Liam this time was hard. We were so close now, closer than ever to not have to do this anymore. But I ugly cried in the SUV when it was time to say goodbye. I mean, snot and tears and everything. It was bad. And Liam, who was usually so put together and happy go lucky teared up as well."It's okay, Kel. I'll be there soon. I've got some loose ends to tie up, but don't worry. I'll be in Vegas before you know it. I promise."And so I got on my plane alone and went back home. I started getting ready for Liam's arrival as soon as I did. I would go to class and instead of hitting the gym, I started organizing my closet and taking clothes and shoes out to donate. I made drawer space and cleaned out my spare bedroom to give him a special surprise.I ordered some office furniture so that if he wanted to, he could work from home as soon as he found himself something here. Did I tell him about it?No. I was afraid that if I did, he would tell me I was doing too much but I was just excit
Unapologetically Me Christmas Aftermath
Liam and I sat on the floor of his apartment with our gifts in front of us. After our laughing fit in the car, we came inside and neither of us really knew what to say or do.I felt guilty as hell for everything that happened at his parents house. I felt selfish because I didn't want to let him go and I felt responsible for him losing his job and his family. I just...I didn't feel good at all. I mean, I loved that he defended me. It made me feel..I felt loved. I felt like someone really cared for me and it felt like for the first time ever that I was chosen first.But of course, I felt guilty for wanting to be first. I chose my mom over James. Even when she was a raging b*tch, I still chose her. I wanted to choose James, but I didn't. Liam chose me. He chose me. I had no idea why. I mean, yeah, we were together, but...he was losing a lot. He didn't even have a job. He didn't have his parents anymore and it was all my fault. I stared down at my g
Unapologetically Me Christmas
We went last-minute Christmas shopping. Despite me being here, his parents still wanted me over for Christmas because Liam flat-out refused to join them if I couldn't go, which made me feel amazing. Not.So even though I bought Lillian a cashmere sweater, I still had to buy it for his dad even though Liam kept telling me I didn't have to. I didn't care if they got me anything or not. I half expected to get sh*t in a box, courtesy of his mother, but it was okay. I would accept it gracefully, just to piss her off.And it wasn't like I was aiming to piss them off. I just wasn't going to give in to their bullsh*t wishes.On Christmas Eve we had dinner with his friends and had a white elephant gift party which was pretty fun. I enjoyed my time there, even though Vivian was there. She avoided talking to either of us the whole time which suited me perfectly. I even drank a little because I was feeling the holiday spirit. I came home with a cute set of Tiffany earrings because these rich peop
Unapologetically Me Walk of Shame
When we step off of the elevator I feel almost a permanent blush up my neck and cheeks. I'm not sorry for what we did but Vivian saw and from past experiences, she wasn't very good at keeping her trap shut.I walk into the event center with my arm in Liam's and thank God no one is really paying attention to us. Some people glance at us, but it seems like the drinks have been flowing and people are talking loud and gesturing with their hands. So that's a good sign.I look around and see Vivian sitting at a table with a drink in her hand looking forlorn and I smirk to myself. Serves her right for coming and looking for us. Thoughts have been going on in my head, wondering what she was doing, looking and all I could come up with was that she didn't expect me to be with him.I felt like she thought that maybe she could corner him, thinking I was in the bathroom or some stupid sh*t after what his dad told me. I probably would have been if Liam hadn't noticed I was upset right away. But Lia
Unapologetically Me Christmas Party Cont.
LiamI looked around to see if anyone was watching us and took Kelly's hand in mine. Whatever one of my parents told her had her looking like she was going to be sick and I was not going to let that happen. It took me entirely too long to get Kelly to agree to be mine and I wasn't going to lose her so quickly.I took Kelly out of the event center and to the bank of elevators in the main lobby. We hopped into the elevators and I wrapped my arms around her after I clicked on the fortieth floor, where my office was located."You want to tell me what my parents said to you?" I nuzzle her neck, my favorite place to be and she sighs and leans her body back against mine and gives me more of her neck."No. Nothing you didn't prepare me for. It just sucks.""Who was it?""Your dad.""What did he say?"She takes a deep breath and I watch her chest rise and fall. She looks absolutely stunning in her red dress. The mom
Unapologetically Me Christmas Party
I stare at myself in the mirror, feeling nervous. I run a hand down my red, satin dress and smile. My hair is up in an intricate bun that took me an hour to do and I did my makeup as perfectly as I could get it without looking like I over did it. I have smoky eyes and red lips. My dress drops down into a deep v in between my breasts and it hangs down to mid calf with a high slit up to my hip. It's sexy and formal and I hope it says that I don't give a flying f*ck what anyone thinks about me.I put on my matching red stilettos and turn to my side and grin.I walk out into the living room where Liam is waiting for me and watch his eyes dance and darken as I step into the room. He swallows hard and pulls at his bow tie, then runs both hands down his chest. He looks hot as hell in a tuxedo and my mouth goes dry. "Do we have to go?" He asks as he steps closer to me. His cheeks are red and I smile at him. "Yes." I raise my eyebrows at him. "We have to go." He grabs my hips and brings me
Unapologetically Me Meeting Mom
The days are passing by slowly. It's almost painful, but there's absolutely nothing to be done. So I go to class, go to the gym, go to work and do it all over again. Liam, since I officially decided to be his girlfriend, has been checking in on me nonstop. It's a complete one eighty from how James would do when he was in school. It didn't matter if he was in a meeting or doing important business man sh*t, Liam would call or text me just because he missed me. We would even just be on the phone while he did paperwork in his office, not speaking, but just being on the line.And every day he would tell me about how many companies he has reached out to. He hadn't told his parents yet because he wanted to make sure he had a job first before he dropped the bomb on them.But he also hinted that his father was getting suspicious. I was on the line with him one day when his dad walked into his office. I knew it was his father because he greeted him as such. I muted
