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,

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

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

At school was hard for me to concentrate. Even though my grades started slipping again, I wasn't going to have that problem anymore and try to focus. "Lily, can I speak with you for a moment?" I was about to leave my locker after putting a few of my textbooks inside to meet up with Effie and Clark at the Walker family's diner and heard Sydney call out to me. I was surprised to have her approach me after telling Liam the truth about who she was, but he did say it was bound to happen. "Are you here to get your revenge on me?" I speak in a harsh monotone. Although I'm okay, I'm not okay. Pissed. And already, I lashed out at people who didn't deserve to be spoken to like that. "Actually, no." She grabs my arm and tugs me into an empty classroom with only the two of us as she asks. "What's wrong with you?" I sat on a desk, rested my elbow on top, and laid my head on my hand, looking straight at the window. "I don't know what you mean?" "Yesterday's club," Sydney manage. "You were

I had just realized it the first time she introduced Zara to me. "Auntie?" I glance at Athena, who is sitting on Rex's lap. I see her stomach, and it is still rounded. A bit bigger than mine by an inch."This isn't Athena's baby, is it?" I ask curiously."No," Effie brought the baby up to her face, caressing the infant, then confessed. "She's mine."My eyes shot so vast that you could flick them out of the sockets. My mouth is long and wide enough that a family of chipmunks can nestle inside for the winter. I'm astonished by the news that I had to look at Logan with such a face. He chuckles and nods his head.I looked over at everyone else, and they all gave me the same answer.I shake my head and massage my jaw to get cramps. "Whoa! Rewind and freeze. What do you mean she's yours?""She's my baby.""Effie, I didn't know you were pregnant. I would have noticed by then. But with someone with perfect curves like yours. That isn't possible."No, silly," Effie coo, but it's meant for the
