Coming Home to You THIRTY THREE
TESSA"Hey Lilah. I'll meet you by the pool in a minute ok?" I say grabbing my phone and beach bag as she hops onto the elevator and puts her sunglasses on. We've been lucky to avoid any paparazzi while we've been here. I think they are all in LA following Liam and his trashy new girlfriend around. We've seen dozens of pictures daily of him with her. I swear the next time I see that boy I'm kicking him straight in the balls. The weirdest part about it all is that he doesn't look happy with her. I don't get it. Tyler picks up the call on the second ring. "Hey Tessa. How are things going there?" He asks like we’re still friends. Fuck that. He’s clearly chosen the she devils side. "I'm not calling to chitchat. Okay?" I say perhaps a bit too harshly. "Okay. What's up?" He replies nervously. He should be. "Someone should be delivering some paperwork to Liam today. I need you to make sure he signs it and gets them back to Lilah's dad.""Tessa, what kind of papers?" He asks hurriedly. "

TYLER"Hey Man." I approach him cautiously. I’m not surprised to see that he’s with Alexandria again. The chick barely lets him out of her sight. It’s so annoying. "Can I talk to you for a moment in private?" I ask and notice he looks at her, silently asking for permission. Weird. "Sure." She says. "I was just headed to the ladies room to powder my nose anyway. Make it quick okay baby?" She kisses him on the lips and I swear he cringes before nodding. "So these came for you." I say handing him the paperwork from Delilah. He looks at the papers confused. "What is this?" He asks. "Tessa asked me to make sure you sign them and get them to Delilah's dad. He'll take care of the rest. No need to drag this out and hurt her anymore than you already have." I say pointedly."She wants a divorce?" He asks astonished and I can't help but laugh at how dumbfounded he is. "Of course she does. What did you think would happen? You sent her on your honeymoon with someone else while you parade aroun

LIAM"You're not trying hard enough. People are still saying they like her better than me." Alexandria whines at me while we're approaching the red carpet. I notice Taylor approaching with some of Delilah's friends and brace for impact. "You've moved on quickly." Taylor scrunches her nose up at me in disapproval as her squad files in around us. Alexandria pulls me closer to her if that's even possible. I frown, wanting to beg someone to get me away from this psycho. Can they not see that I clearly am here against my will?"What do you mean?" Alexandria flips her hair behind her shoulders. "Liam has been into me since we met last year. Isn't that right Liam?" She narrows her eyes at me and Taylor scowls. I nod unenthusiastically. Can someone please get me away from this psycho? "Okay then." Taylor looks between us questioningly. "We should hang out sometime, Taylor." Alexandria states. "If Liam will let me out of his sight." She chuckles at her own joke as we all stare at her blankly

DELILAH "What are you doing here?" I ask Liam after finding him lingering outside my door. "Hey Dels. I came to see you obviously." He smiles at me and I frown back at him. Does he really think he can just show up here and pretend like nothing happened?"You didn't sign the divorce papers Liam." "I don't want a divorce." He states calmly."I do." I deadpan and Liam frowns in return. He looks heartbroken, but I refuse to fall for his bullshit this time around. "You don't Dels. Not really. You love me and I love you. We're supposed to be together." He states stepping towards me just as Zack opens the door to leave my room. "Oh, I didn't know you had company." He says trying to hide the pain from his eyes. He looks at me, his eyes full of betrayal. "I'll see you later Delilah, yeah?" Zack asks and I nod as he kisses my cheek and walks away. "I asked you to trust me Dels. It's barely been a month and you have a guy in your room?" Liam frowns. "I did this for you.""You’re one to tal

DELILAHMy mom used to call these blue bird days. The sun is shining and there's not a single cloud in the sky. I look over to Tess to see what she wants to do today. "Why don't we get brunch by the pool?" She answers, "Then we can walk to the pier for a bit before you meet Zack for mini golf later?" "About that. Liam's here." I mention casually. I’m still in disbelief myself. The idiot really messed things up this time. "When did that happen?" Tessa's expression is unreadable. "He showed up last night as Zack was leaving. Didn't seem too thrilled to see him in my room." "But nothing happened with Zack right?" Tessa furrows her brows at me. "Of course not, but Liam doesn't need to know that. He wouldn't sign the paperwork either.""He loves you." She states matter of factly."Psshhh. He has a funny way of showing it then.""You're not serious right now are you? He wasn't really with her. He was trying to protect you. Of course he probably could have thought it through a little bet

LIAM"Of course I want to join you." I tell Delilah while shooting her my sexiest smile. If that doesn't make her warm up to me I'm not sure what else will. It usually turns girls into puddles, but Dels has been harder for me to entice these days. Maybe that has something to do with my agreeing to date Alexandria instead of coming clean about her blackmailing me.Delilah shakes her head and grabs her phone from the table, standing up and straightening her skirt. "As friends, Liam. We can hang out as friends." I raise my eyebrow at her in challenge. "Dels, enlighten me, when has being just friends ever worked out for us?" I stand up too, making it a point to be much more in her personal space than necessary. "You know the chemistry between us is too strong for that to work out."She places her hand on my chest and lets out a tiny chuckle. "Maybe so, but I'm officially friend zoning you anyway." She walks ahead of me cutting down a path near the beach that heads towards the pier. Tessa

DELILAH We are sitting on the balcony of my suite watching the sunset over the turqouise blue water below. Seagulls are flying about in droves chasing after a small child with french fries running down the beach. "I'll be back guys. I need to go pickup Tyler. His plane just landed." Tessa smiles at me before hopping out of her chair beside me and straightening her top. She quickly checks her reflection in the glass door behind us. Not that she needs to Tess is classically flawless, long blonde hair, blue eyes and sunkissed skin. Tyler doesn't stand a chance."Tyler's here? I didn't realize that he was coming." I look at Liam accusingly as Tessa quickly scurries out the door to pickup Tyler from the airport, leaving Liam and I alone on the balcony. "Of course he came. I needed my wingman after all." "Your wingman?" I repeat slowly. "Why would you need a wingman?" He scowls, eyeing me cautiously, "Oh I don't know. Maybe because my wife has decided to date the bar staff while we're

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
