Liam (Book 2) TWENTY SEVEN
After a while, Sam and Grant talked while Clark and I walked to the restroom but stopped by the entrance. We were in the hall with each person passing by until there wear no more."Lily, what's going on?" Clark suddenly asks, his arms crossed over his chest, staring at me.I looked away and pursed my lips. "Nothing is wrong," I said. "Why do you ask?""I asked because you were so in love with Liam, and suddenly you are dating someone who isn't Liam. What happened during Thanksgiving?""Nothing." I was baffled and then sighed. "Liam and I had our difference and decided to drift apart.""What about the engagement? I specifically remembered that you and Liam are-""Fake.""What?" Clark's voice was stern."The fiancé with Liam was all a fake, an act to get me out of my prior engagement with Kareem. Odin planned it out and with Liam's proposal that our relationship is nothing but an act."Clark pinched the bridge of his nose where his nice frame was pushed up. "So, all this time, you and L

It's hard to let go of someone you love when that person has to be my lab partner today.Bio sucks, all my AP classes suck, but I needed the credit. AP Biology is the worst, and my partner had food poisoning. So, Mrs. Granger had me pair up with the one person I wanted to avoid at all costs, and he felt the same.Liam was alone too, and his partner was Chase Abbott, who was absent too with an unknown excuse.So, sarcastically today is my lucky day.I'm so fucked.Luckily, though, today's lab is the last day dissecting a frog. This class has been nothing but a butchering class instead because all we ever did through this year was dissecting from cats, pigs, and rats - which I almost threw up every time the insides were shown. I had to excuse myself to puke out in the restroom and return as if I had a weak stomach. In truth, I have a living being making me feel like this.It's almost a week before the cruise, and I'm having second thoughts. Ever since Grant learned about everything invo

Sydney sighed. "Well, the cat is out of the bag. Thanks, Lily."I bit my lips. "I-I'm sorry.""Liam, I'm a guy. But I'm gay, but I also like girls, so I'm bisexual. Why do you think I tried to get close to you, Lily."My face flushed as I remembered his encounters and how much he flirted with me when I first joined the club. I thought he was being nice.Liam stayed silent until he managed to speak. "But your name is Sydney, and your boobs are real...right?""My parents named me Sydney because I was conceived in Sydney, Australia. Although it sounds like a girl, they gave me the name. And as for my boobs, transplant." Sydney cupped her breast. "Took me years to pay off the operation. Just waiting for the next."Liam gagged and cleared his throat, not wanting to be discriminating and disgusted, until he covered his mouth. "Give me a second." Then dash to the nearest restroom.""Sydney, I'm sorry." I looked down. "I didn't mean to yell out your secret. I just-""Don't get so worked up ab

"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

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

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
