"How do you like your steak?"I snapped my eyes up at Dad and frowned once he smiled."Finally, got your attention," he said. "I was beginning to think you have become deaf. What is the matter, Lily-pad? Ever since we arrived at the mall, you've been dozing off in La La Land, which I want to watch again because of Ryan Gosling."I inwardly rolled my eyes.Yesterday, Dad decided for us to have a mother-daughter bond. It was a good idea. I can buy things for the cruise, but instead, we stop at The Children's Place to shop for baby stuff before the arrival of my child in six months or less, and dad wants to be prepared.Papa has already made one of the rooms we use for storage into a nursery room for the baby. He started working on it two days ago, constructing it, removing all unnecessary things and will begin the painting soon.I only agreed to go because of shopping for the cruise, but we are here looking at newborn onesies."Oh my god, this one is cute," Dad held up a blue onesie wit
Liam (Book 2) THIRTY ONE
The wait is here. I stared in awe at the massive cruise ship, and I'll spend my time there for one week. I let my arms wide open and smelled the ocean breeze. Although it's not refreshing, I didn't care. After I told Grant everything about the fake marriage with Liam, I didn't tell him who set up this outfit. Grant was understanding but also worried that I'd be hurt, and I had to spend one week with my fake fiancé in front of my grandparents. I reassured him nothing wrong would happen. Liam and I had an agreement. So, right after school was done for winter break, Liam and I would have to fly to Miami to get on our cruise. As I said my goodbyes to my parents, Dad bawling his eyes out once again, Papa had to comfort him. Then he set his sights on Liam once he arrived with Effie and Logan in the car and shot baleful glares at him as a warning. Arriving at the LAX airport, I said my goodbyes to Effie, giving her a tight hug and a light one to Logan. Liam did the same, kissing my best f

"Lily, my dear, it's so good to see you again," Seema gently pulled me into her embrace and squeezed me as we took our seats at the table."Good to see you too, Nana," I said with much force, greeting my grandparents, whom I hadn't seen since they stayed in town to get to know their long-lost granddaughter."Liam, you are looking handsome every day," Seema giggled and flirted at the same time, and during that time, I clicked my tongue.Handsome, my ass.He's more than handsome. Liam looks like one of those hot-built models in my Dad's magazines that he would leave lying around.Liam, to me, is a perfection of a god.But what ticked me off is how this jerk forgot what I asked yesterday, allowing me to starve myself and let me eat all my secret stash. I overdosed on chocolate. I couldn't even get angry at him with a food coma on sweets I had. I threw up the following day.I received a text from Seema to have breakfast with them at the dining hall, and thinking of eating made me a bit si
Liam (Book 2) THIRTY THREE
The restaurant is known as The Syren, one of the most famous and expensive restaurants on the cruise. The reviews on Yelp told me how good their foods are and that there is an orchestra and a dance floor to enjoy classical music. Not only that, but the inside is as if you entered the Victorian era. They have high ratings. I was curious about what the restaurant looked like.I put on a white dress, large to hide the bump from people with sharp eyes to see in the restaurant, black flats, and a beige cardigan in case the dress wasn't enough coverage, the baby bump is recognized, and I could use the cardigan to hide it as well.Liam was dressed up nicely, wearing a dark blue dress shirt that seemed almost too tight on him and jeans to go with the look. I caught the eyes of plenty of girls around swooning over him, and it pisses me off that I look like his younger sister, thinking she's a princess.We met up with my grandparents as the waiter led us to the table, and as soon we approached,

I woke up with the urge to pee. I stir on the bed, feeling a weight around my stomach, preventing me from leaving. Looking over my shoulder, I found Liam spooning my body on the bed behind me. I didn't realize how we got into this position, but I remembered how I ended up sleeping on the same bed as him. I searched around the room as it was already nighttime. I looked at my phone and saw the time; it was past three.How long did we sleep like this?Not that I'm complaining. Sleeping with Liam on the same bed made me giggle like a puppy love middle schooler.Then I saw the missed calls and unread texts from Effie, Clark, and my parents, all wondering how the first day on the cruise was. I will reply to them tomorrow. As of right now, I can not.As smoothly and slowly as not to try to wake Liam, I carefully removed his arm and went to the bathroom. Once I returned, my eyes adjusted to the dark room, and a hint of moonlight shone on the bed. Liam had his back turn; I went the other way
Liam (Book 2) THIRTY FIVE
The rest of the trip I've spent time with Liam has come to an end. I said goodbye to my grandparents, Devin, as he told me he would meet me again. Liam avoids saying goodbye as I lied to them he has been sick for the rest of the week. The trip back home was quiet in some parts, but when we wanted to start, our mouths would open simultaneously, and we just laughed about it. That is when we start a conversation. Effie and Logan were waiting for us at the end of the terminal, but we saw Seth and the mysterious Terry instead of seeing my best friend. Seth slung his arm around Terry's shoulder, but he swung around and had Seth pin, pushing his back and holding one arm as the man whimpered. Liam and I exchanged looks. "Young Master Liam, Miss Lily, welcome back. How was your trip?" Terry asked so formally, which I'm still not used to, while he held Seth. "Hey there little bro, Lily," Seth panted as he smiled like he was enjoying the torture. Sadistic. "Um. Terry, where is Effie? I thou

"Lily, are you sure you want to get through this?"I hissed, placing the heated pot of masala on the counter, and waved my hand to cool the heat off. "Yes, I'm sure, Effie. I realized he needed to know; otherwise, I would regret it once I moved in with Birdie."Effie had a large tablecloth from the storage closet of my house. Clark and Sam are grabbing the portable table to put in the back."I know. But you first decided not to tell him, but after returning from the cruise, you changed your mind. You guys had called it quits.""We didn't call it quits; we simply became friends.""But it isn't weird that you're telling a friend he's the father of your child.""Effie, why are you such a mom about Lily and Liam's relationship status?" Clark popped up, holding the table under his arm. "Let the poor girl have her dinner date with her dream guy.""Just the other day, you were going crazy once I told you about it, and you're backing her up?"I turned off the stove and checked the chicken I h
Liam (Book 2) THIRTY SEVEN
We talked about school and mentioned Sydney. He didn't want to tell her and felt sorry for ignoring her at school after finding out she was a he. I told him I knew Sydney was a boy from his sister. Allison told me how much he had spent on himself to look like a real woman. I wasn't quite sure why Liam didn't realize it when they were - anyways, Allison said he had an operation below so that Liam couldn't tell the difference. We sat quietly between our conversations, gave a few smiles and chuckles, and sometimes looked at each other, wondering who would talk first.Whenever I wasn't looking at him, keeping my head down, I could feel his eyes on me. I quickly looked and found his majestic blue eyes staring at me. I had to look away to hide my face flaring up. It feels weird yet suitable to chat with Liam like this without him acting so cold towards me because of our uneasy relationship, but I wonder what he will think of me once I tell him the truth.I cleared my throat."Hey, what is g
