LIAM Tyler and I are goofing around in the living room when there is a knock at the door. Tyler makes it to the door before I can, peeping through the eye hole. "Are we expecting a buff tan tattooed guy?" Ty turns and asks me casually. I scowl, "Must be Delilah's date. How mad would she be if we just tell him to leave?" Tyler chuckles, "I don't know if that's the best idea. Let's bring him inside, try to make him uncomfortable." "I like where your heads at. Let him in." Tyler opens the door and slowly eyes the guy from head to toe. "Can I help you?" He asks him pointedly. "Hey man, I'm Zack. I'm here to pick up Delilah." "Huh. Chad is it? Well, Chad, I don't think Delilah is ready. She probably forgot about your little date. You can come in and wait if you want." Zack shuffles inside the door watching Tyler cautiously. "It's Zack actually. Aren't you the drummer in that one band?" Tyler nods. "That'd be me. Liam here is the lead singer." I nod at Zack, my arms crossed and ch
DELILAH"Am I hallucinating or is this actually happening?" Tyler whispers to me as the four of us stare at Lucy in disbelief. Zack has already moved on to flirting with a few tourists in the group behind us. Lucy is currently licking the end of her golf club seductively while staring at my husband. "That can't be sanitary." Tessa chuckles shaking her head. Liam shifts awkwardly behind me, looking anywhere but at her. "I honestly am feeling a bit violated right now. Where the hell did you find this chick Tyler?" "Luke gave me her contact. He met her at a concert a couple months back." Tyler answers. "She clearly was checking all the boxes that he requires." Tessa chokes on her laugh. "Clearly.""Dels why don't we head back. This chick is super creepy." Liam whispers in my ear. "So Liam." Lucy eyes him up and down after she's finished assaulting the golf club with her mouth. "Is doggy style still your favorite position, because I read in gossip girl weekly that it is. It's mine too
LIAM "So what now?" Dels asks as I check over my shoulder for the fifth time while waiting for the elevator. "I don't know. I'm so worried that crazy chick is going to find us before we make it upstairs." I say wrapping my arms around her as the elevator bell finally dings and the doors open. I quickly pull her inside and frantically tap the close button. She looks up at me amused. "Don't worry. I'm sure they took her down to the station for public indecency. I've never seen anything so crazy in my entire life." She reasons threading her fingers through mine and pulling me closer to her as she leans on the wall behind her. "I've never felt so violated." I tell her honestly. "She was very persistent. I'm still not sure how she got her clothes off that quickly." Delilah laughs, dropping my hands and stepping out of the elevator as the doors open up to our floor. I quickly lead her inside, locking the door behind us."Would you rather rent a movie or hang out on the balcony with a bo
DELILAH I'm startled from my peaceful dream in which I was floating around a pool on my flamingo raft while Liam fed me grapes, by a loud noise in the front room. I sit up quickly prying Liam's arms from around my waist and look around to gather my surroundings. I hold my breath and listen closely, another loud crash confirms that I didn't just imagine the commotion to begin with. "Liam wake up." I say shaking him. "Someone's in our suite.""Hmmmm don't eat my bananas," he mumbles trying to pull me closer. I look at him puzzled, what the heck is he dreaming about. I shake him some more, just as I hear a loud bang right outside the door. "Shit, Liam we're under attack. Wake up!" I pull the covers off of him and he finally pops up, eyes wide. "What is going on?" He asks rubbing his eyes as another crash occurs nearer. "Shit!""Something is out there. What should we do?" I ask nervously. "What if it's that crazy girl? What if she found us?"Liam shivers in fear, "I'll check, you stay
LIAMFor some unknown reason Dels decided to set an alarm to wake us up this morning. "Babe. Make it stop." I beg, releasing my hold on her as she quickly silences her phone. "What kind of monster sets an alarm while on vacation anyway?" I tease pulling her back into my arms."I thought you were going to keep your hands to yourself." She whispers sleepily while snuggling in closer to me. "You don't seem to mind too much." I tease."Well, you are a good snuggler. It's hard to resist your charms." She turns to face me, removing any space between us. "You're making it very hard to be your friend." I mumble, my voice still thick with sleep."Am I making it hard?" She smirks, her honey brown eyes full of mischief at her innuendo."You're such a tease, Dels. I think you know exactly what you're doing to me." I say tucking one of her wild curls behind her ear. I want her so badly, but I know it's more important that we fix things between us first."So is there a reason for you waking us up
LIAM We've been at Delilah's photo shoot for five whole minutes and I'm already getting really weird vibes from one of the producers. The aquarium is like nothing I've ever seen before. The entire place is oozing decadence, marble floors, enormous enclosures, and a huge spread of food for the models and production team today. Tessa is talking with one of the photographers with Dels, while Tyler and I check out the food spread. Today's shoot is going to be for a fundraiser to raise money to protect a coral reef that's nearby. It looks like they are about to take Dels back to hair and makeup when the creepy producer approaches us. "So boys, what can I do to keep you entertained while your friends get ready?" She purrs placing her hand on my bicep and Tyler and I both know she's offering more than a magazine. The woman is the definition of a cougar. Her clothes are basically painted on her body, her makeup done heavily and her long blonde hair is in waves down her back. She reminds me
DELILAH Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we just got back home to South Carolina. The paparazzi seems to be following us everywhere these days, the rumor mill going crazy with speculations about us being back together. We haven't confirmed or denied anything for them this time around. Truthfully we haven't even talked about it with each other yet. I know what Liam wants, but I'm afraid to dive back in like we did before. It seems reckless since I've already been burned twice by him, even if the second time was to protect me. So when we pull into the house that we bought together before all of this mess it's only natural that I'm a nervous wreck. Liam is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Completely thrilled as he hops out of the car and grabs our luggage. I pause outside the front door. "Are you sure we're ready for this?" I ask sincerely. "I can stay at my dads for a while. We don't have to rush back into this." I don't see the harm in us taking it slow and building our friendship again
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
