Say I do

32: some things never change [end]

Walking out on Liam was easier than I thought. I'm stubborn and he's more stubborn. I knew that was it. It'd be years since we actually see each other again. Years I thought..... Years....

...not hours.

I glare at the man stood in front of me as he does the same.

"Have you been following me?" I argue.

"No" he huffs, offended.

I narrow my eyes at him. "Liam"

"Yes" he mutters "but technically no"

I throw my hands in the air in defence. I should have known. Adrian was acting more weird than he already is before he left to get some 'milk'. I mean how else would Liam know I've been sulking away in Adrian's back garden?

"Why are you here?" I snap.

He sighs. "I- needed a break"

I snort. "In Adrian's backyard?"

He shrugs. "Couldn't think of a better place"

I form a scowl. Yes, like he just happens to know Adrian's house which is an hour drive from his.

"Liam" I groan "listen, I said everything I needed. So why are you here for real this time?"

He rolls his eyes at the back of his head for a moment before turning them to look at me.

Holy- not now Liam. This is not the moment to shake my heart.

"Ok fine" he grunts in surrender "I was beginning to miss you" he mumbles the last few lines but just loud enough for me to hear.

"What? Within 2 hours?" I laugh. I don't know if this man is being serious. I can't let my happy emotions get in the way.

"That's a long time" he says.

"You were adamant to live perfectly fine without me"

He smiles sheepishly. "That was 2 hours ago. This is now"

I couldn't believe the words coming out of this man's mouth. I don't know if I should feel happy or annoyed.

"This still doesn't change what I said" I remind him.

He litrally throws a frustrating grown at me. "Jesus Adeline, can you not see what I'm trying to say?"

I touched my heart. I'm offended that this man is calling me stupid indirectly.

"Have you tried to say it instead of hinting it?" I retort back at his attitude.

He scratched the back of his head as he mumbled under his breath as if he's deciding on his decision with his inner demon. I patiently watch him.

"Fuck it" he snaps, suddenly beginning to undo his shirt buttons.

I felt like a brick was thrown at me as I watch in shock. Holy cow, how did the conversation turn this steamy?

"L-Liam" I choke as the last button came undone. Please, I'm not ready for this. I walked out just 2 hours ago let my mind breathe.

"Let me show you my feelings" he said, stepping forward and pulling me closer to him.

Hell no. This is not what I think he is thinking right?

"Liam-Liam" I utter, slightly panicked "this is not the time- I'm not ready- we can't- we are meant to be divorcing- I'm on my period- wait no I- we possibly couldn't could we?- holy cheese, I did not say that- look Liam- let's atleast go to the bed-" my rambling was cutt of by Liam grabbing me gently and pushing my head against his chest as I feel his strong heart beat thump against his chest.
