Coming Home to You Forty Seven
DELILAH I spent most of the night tossing and turning in my bed. Alone. True to his word, Liam stayed in the guest room last night. I wonder if he slept okay without me? I almost broke down and went to his bed several times, but I didn't want to wake him, or at least that's what I told myself. I glance at my phone to see that it's already 10 AM. I can't believe it's already that late. I should get up and get dressed, our parents, Tessa, Tyler, and their parents will all be here to eat and exchange gifts in a few hours. Liam told me he had everything under control and not to worry about it last night, but I should help him out anyway. I quickly scurry into our bathroom and take a quick shower. I've always been fairly low maintenance but seeing the dark circles under my eyes from deciding to sleep solo last night causes me to spend more time than usual on my makeup. When I'm finally presentable I throw on my favorite ugly Christmas sweater and a pair of skinny jeans and scurry downsta

DELILAH Not long after the oven timer goes off to let Liam know that his masterpiece is finished, the doorbell rings and I go to let our friends and family inside. This is the first time we've had people over to see our new home and it feels so strange to see them all here. "Merry Christmas guys!" I chirp as they file in, hands full of gifts and food. "Merry Christmas baby girl." My dad replies giving me a side hug with his arms full. "I brought a few things." He chuckles walking into the kitchen and placing the containers of food on the table. He then walks to where Liam is manning the stove and claps him on the shoulder. "Merry Christmas son. It smells delicious. Did you cook all this up by yourself?" He questions, his voice full of surprise. "You know it." Liam replies grinning widely. He's proud of the meal he's created. "I hope it tastes as good as it looks." Liam chuckles and moves to fist bump Ty as he enters the room. Once we've all said our greetings and placed the gifts

LIAM We're standing just outside the party house and I can hear the music thumping inside from here. I couldn't go inside without talking to Dels about where we stand first. I know she's still considering that maybe we shouldn't stay together. But I feel like we've been making steady progress over the past week or so and I know how quickly things can go south at these parties. Especially when it comes to us. People are still thinking that we split up and I don't want something dumb happening to set us back. Delilah Jane is end game for me. I don't care how many times I have to keep telling her that she's it, I will until she believes me. So when she tells me that I'm the only guy she's ever been with in that way, it's music to my ears. I thought for sure that douche Zack might've scored before I got to Tahiti. I did see him leaving her room. I was okay with it too, willing to accept it as my own fault for that fiasco I caused in LA.Dels grabs my hand distracting me from the mess i

DELILAH Somehow it never gets easier meeting girls Liam has hooked up with. When Hannah walked over to us shamelessly flirting with him while pushing her boobs up into his view, it was hard not to feel jealous and self conscious. Poor Hannah though, I actually felt a little bad for her when Liam turned an icy glare her way. He made it very clear that he wasn’t interested and that he never would be. I’m not sure what she thought would happen. Perhaps she imagined him casting me aside and pulling her into his muscular arms. When he whispers into my ear that he wants to dance I’m already trying my best to rain in my hormones. I know my man is hot and with him being ridiculously famous girls are obviously going to want him too. I wrap my arms around his neck as he pulls me onto the dance floor, my back to his front as I roll my hips back into him. He grunts appreciatively, loving the contact. I continue my movements, his hands placed on my hips as I grind down on him with my backside. A

LIAM Tessa grabs my shirt as I’m heading out the front door to look for Dels. I don't even know what the fuck just happened, but I do know the situation couldn't have looked any worse from Delilah's point of view. I am so fucked. "What did you do?" Tessa pokes me in the chest angrily. Tyler watches Hannah sidle up beside me a look of confusion crossing his face. As his eyes find mine. "I didn't do anything. She just walked in on something that looked really bad, but it was just a misunderstanding, I swear. Where did she go Tess? I need to find her." I say looking around the room to see if I spot her anywhere among the crowd. Tess watches me carefully assessing my face, just as Hannah wraps her hands around my bicep. "Hey Liam. Sorry about what happened upstairs. I had no idea your girl would catch us together." She says faking innocence as I pry her hands off of me. Tessa's eyes narrow on her. "Catch you doing what exactly?" "I was just helping him take care of a big problem he h

LIAMI swat at the alarm clock on the table next to my bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and wondering if I look as bad as I feel. I really tied one on last night. We had a concert in New York City and the boys and I went out to party afterwards. My head is pounding as I reach for the glass of water and Tylenol on the bedside table, greedily gulping them both down.Next I check my phone, just as I have every morning since she's been gone. At this point I'm not sure what I'm expecting to find besides more disappointment. There are a couple of texts from Ty telling me to get my ass up for the Rolling Stone shoot in a couple hours, the one we were supposed to be doing with Delilah, but still nothing from her. I haven't seen or heard from Delilah since the Christmas Eve party from Hell. You'd think by now that I would be used to the way Delilah ghosts me, instead of dealing with our problems head on, but here I am. Alone and miserable, again. Maybe that's my punishment for ghosting her
Coming Home to You Fifty Three
DELILAH "Are you sure you don't want to go to the Stones shoot today?" Tessa asks me hesitantly for the fifth time in an hour. "Of course I'm sure. That would be so incredibly awkward. We both know what kind of questions they would ask and we both know what kind of photos they are after. I can't even manage to send him a text to apologize. There's no way I'd make it through the interview." I explain again. Tessa frowns, "You should just talk to him Lilah. You're both suffering and you don't have to be. You know he will forgive you.""You don't understand." She keeps pressuring me to try to talk to him, but I was such a bitch that night. I didn't even give him a chance to explain. He's better off without me. I'm sure he's found someone to distract himself with by now anyway. I check my phone again and there's a message from my dad, but still no word from him. He must be over my bullshit. He hasn't even tried to call or text me since the party on Christmas Eve. I can't really blame

LIAM"Are you sure she's coming tonight?" I ask Ty for the hundredth time impatiently tapping my foot on the tile floor.He nods, a sympathetic smile on his face. "Tessa said they'd be here. You know how they are. They are probably still getting ready. You should have a drink and relax. You're not doing yourself any favors getting all wound up like this."I roll my eyes at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one in love with someone who's constantly running away from you. I need some kind of tracking device for her." I joke and Ty raises his brows at me questioningly. "I'm not sure that joke would go over well." He states glancing around the room. These celebrity parties are always well attended and tonight is no different. Dozens of actors, musicians, and celebrities mingling together to bring in the New Year. "Don't look now, but they just walked in." He whispers his eyes motioning behind me. Of course I do exactly what he says not to do and my eyes instantly lock with her go
