ONE YEAR LATER
Ariana
Liam and I are hosting this year’s thanks giving and we have invited all our closet friends and relatives over. I am so busy in the kitchen with Miss Melinda preparing the food and drinks. Kelly arrived early to help me out to arrange the table and put on the decorations. The turkey is almost done. Liam’s grandma stayed the night and she is the one who made it. I trust her cooking skills.
After I married Liam, my family has become bigger. Not only my parents, his grandmother but also my friends, his friends. I have met a good number of friends since I met him. Jonas and his wife, Kelly are also party of our family now. Kelly is now six months pregnant.
Liam and I have only been married for eight months, and he has made it clear that he is not ready to share me yet. I am so also not ready for a baby either. I still want to build my career and my marriage. I still have a lot of things to look forward to. The baby will come at the right time.
The door bell rings.
“I think that’s mom and dad,” I chime and then walk to the door to open for them. They are here early. Liam sent our helicopter to pick them up.
My friends have already arrived and they have already settled in, filling the house with warm cheer. Despite the fact that I live here with Liam, it can get quite lonely sometimes. I think I will be convincing him about the baby sooner than I thought.
When everyone is in the house, we start bringing the buffet out of the kitchen to the dinning room. It smells nice. I have only prepared three dishes of the food, but I trust grandma and Melinda’s cooking. We are going to give our guests a blast tonight.
When everything is ready, and everyone is sitting in the dinning room, the only thing left is the wine. I go to get the wine from the cellar. I nearly bump into Liam on my way back. I give him a huge grin because well, I have been smiling since morning.
“Hello there my beautiful wife,” he murmurs and captures my chin in his hand.
“What have you got here?” He takes two bottles of wine from me.
“You are not going to have more than two glasses tonight. I will be watching. I need you sober for what I have planned for you tonight,” he whispers into my ear. Goosebumps spread onto my skin, excitement flooding me. I bite on my lip and look him in the eyes. Pulling me into him, he claims my mouth with a possessive kiss. I moan into his mouth and kiss him back. Mmm… I love the taste of my husband.
He pulls away and smacks my butt. I help and giggle.
“Now be a good girl and give our guests the best Thanksgiving of their lives,” he says, and then holds my hand in his. We enter the dinning room like this, and everyone’s eyes are cast on us.
“Let’s get this dinner started. I am famished,” he says like an announcement and everyone on the table laughs. He pulls out my seat and I sit down, then he takes his seat at the head of the table. Melinda goes through serving wine while Liam’s hand caresses mine under the table. He hasn’t let go yet, and I never want him to let go.
