Emilia’s pov
I gaze at him as he uttered those words i never thought I’d hear. My heart skips a beat at his intense gaze.
“i need you by my side small ass. you made me a better person… i never want you out of my sight” He mutters lowly. Maybe it was the sincerity in his voice and the way he stared down at me that made my skin warm up and my heart beat faster than usual. His thumbpad brushes my lips and i suck in my breath.
“I’d never be myself without you emilia, you’ve intoxicated me with your charm…” his voice was husky and it was all it took for my eyes to fill up in tears, emotions I never thought I’d feel building up in my chest
I’ve come to fall for him, but didn’t know how hard I did until now I blink away the tears and did the only thing my heart wanted, the only thing I wanted too.
“I can’t bear the thought of living without you liam… I choose to be with always” I smile up at him and his lips curl into a small smile. He leans in and peck me on the forehead, my nose them my mouth. I giggle as I withdraw. He wraps his arm around me and pull me into a hug. I entwine my hands at his bare back and rest my head against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and breathing in his cologne. We stay that way for a while before we heard a low chuckle behind us. I disengage as Ryan stands at the doorway, folding his arm and smirking. I tuck back few strands of hair and blush.
“Tell me its a yes paige?” Ryan says as he watches us. Liam rolls his eyes and I laugh.
“I guess it is…” He says and Ryan unfold his arms as he walks towards liam.
“Damn it man!” He gives liam a rather playful punch before giving him a bear hug. I giggle and sit on the bed. He turns to face me.
“Thanks fairy… come on give me a hug” I smile shyly as I stand and hug him. he pats my cheek as we withdraw and I grin and sit back.
“So what’s the plan Paige” Ryan asks and fold his arm. He shrugs.
“Tell dad to go back don’t wanna see him, tell him I’d leave in three days….” He says as Ryan nods.
“Then I guess we have to pay off the guys then, too bad they didn’t put thier training into good use” Ryan smiles and walk out of the room.
I purse my lips as I imagine leaving Boston. Feels sadly exciting. I wanted to be with liam and same as with sandy and Becky too. Liam sits beside me and wrap his arm around my waist. I lolled against his shoulder and sigh.
“Its a hard decision for me to make Emilia, but if that’s gonna keep mom alive then I’d do so….” I nod against his shoulder and run my fingers down his bare back.
“I’m gonna be with you liam, I’m not letting you go anymore alright?” I tilt my head up just as he lowers his head and kiss my lips gently.
“Thanks small ass… I owe you so much, I’m willing to pay. I shook my head profusely.
“You’ve paid in full liam, being with you is enough payment” I brush my hand against his lips and smile. My stomach rumbles, reminding me I haven’t had breakfast. I disengage and slump back on the bed. Feeling lazy to cook.
“You hungry huh… your tummy is helluva embarrassment” He smirks and I laugh, poking him gently.
“I’d order for a large meal then” He winks and move out of the bedroom as I smile. I suddenly felt a huge relief wash over me. We didn’t need to hide again, or be scared. Liam would to back and the police would close the case, tag liam not guilty do those dickheads after Liam’s life would follow him back to his home.
I look up at the ceilings and smile widely. Maybe its a good idea, I’ve never left the country once… maybe it was the start of my dreams, to explore the world. I giggle and place a pillow over my face, screaming happily into it.
•••••••
Maybe in a thousand years I wouldn’t believe this would happen, didn’t believe I’d give up everything to follow a guy to wherever he wants to be. But as I sat at the backseat of the black car taking us to the airport, with liam beside me, I knew it was real. My palms are sweaty and I rub it against the red dress i wore. Liam had made sure I was looking extra pretty. My hair styled to perfection and my makeup perfect. I run my hands downed my curly and bouncy hair.
The red v cut dress i wore clung to my body like a second skin and the black strap heels I wore made me feel I was wearing money. I stare at liam looking more cuter and hotter than before in his white dress shirt and black slacks. His hair tied into a low ponytail. He looked strangely unhappy, like he didn’t want to do this. I just hope I didn’t make him do it. I hope he’s doing it on his own freewill. I smile inwardly. Sandy and Becky were trailing behind us in another car. They were so happy for me and I was relieved. I thought they’d feel I betrayed them, but they were super happy for me we had a girls night and for the first time I got drunk. I giggle and relax deep into my seat. Rose had left with Liam’s dad too.
I’d gone to the country side a day before to tell my aunt and brother of my plans. They didn’t object, were happy that I’d found a lover too. I sigh and glanced at the nightlife outside, liam said we leave at night, since the trip to Spain would take hours and we might arrive in the morning. The car pulls to a stop and seconds later was opened for us to step out. We step out as liam wraps his hand around me at once. Ryan gets out of the second car with sandy and Becky and they walk towards us. I look down the black clutch I held as I felt my eyes fill up in tears. The next thing the three of us were hugging.
“Hey bitch.. I’m gonna miss you” Sandy says and sniff. I chuckle and we withdraw.
“I’d make sure we have face time every day guys alright?” I say and Becky wipes her cheeks.
“Becky…. big girls don’t cry remember?” I tease and she grins and pull me into a tight hug.
“I’m gonna miss you so fuckin much emmy” she choke back her tears. I rub her back as a tear slid down my cheeks. I’m gonna miss them just as bad, just as much.
“Come on Becky don’t make her miss her flight” Sandy tease and tug Becky away from me. I wipe my cheeks as liam comes forward.
“Liam…. do make sure you’re always with her, if she feels lonely, I’m gonna give you my super punch okay” Becky says feigning seriousness. He did a low bow and we laugh.
…
I woke up to the sound of the air hostess announcing our arrival at the capital city of Spain. my eyes flutter open and i brush back my hair and sit up, pushing a button on the seat to take it back to the sitting position. Liam sat beside me and was awake already. Probably didn’t sleep throughout the night.
“We are home guys” Ryan announces as the jet taxied to a stop. They were few people on the jet. Some couple of guys in black suits and the attendants. Could be its a private jet. I wonder who he was that he could afford a jet. I suck in my breath as I place my hands in Liam’s. He smiled down at me.
“Just cling to me and you’d be fine alright?” I arch my brows in confusion and nod. The air stairs open and liam kisses me on the forehead before we walk out. I got to the first stair with some guys behind us and in front of us.
The screams that hit my ears made me stop right in my tracks as I froze to my spot. My heart thumped as I took in the eye stopping crowd screaming and shouting at the top of their voices. I gasp and look beside liam, as lights of cameras flashes on our faces. What the heck is this!. A lot were holding placards with “welcome home Sebastian Paige” on it. Some had tee shirts with Sebastian Paige on it. Sebastian?. I could see a lot of photographs in people hands. They swung it wildly. It looks so much like liam, only that he had short hair and neat line of beards. We begin to walk down the stairs as the guys in front created a security wall in front of us. My mind reels as I try to decipher what is happening. Liam grip was tight on me.
“Bienvienido a casa Seb!”
“Nosotros te extrañamos Sebastian!”
“He’s so cute!, he’s grown his hair longer!”
“He brought home a girl!” The comments from the crowd left me tongue tied. I could almost feel my breath leave my body at the all the ear piercing excited screaming and shouting. They weren’t able to get to us cos they were barricades, with cops trying their best to push them back. My heartbeat runs wild and I clung to liam in fear.
“She’s beautiful!… I wish it were me!” My legs feels weak already. From the noise, and the large crowd trying to get close to us. They flashed their cameras at us and liam face looks expressionless.
I feel like passing out already. who the heck is he. We were led to a Red car. I gulped nothing at the two cars parked behind it and two cars in front of it. My breathing was ragged my throat dry and my palms sweaty. In what seems like ages, The winglike car door opens and we got in. The crowds were in a frenzy as they struggled to get to our car. Moments later it glided slowly out of the arrivals. The crowd broke loose and soon we had people with cameras hitting the tinted windows and flashing their cameras. I cringe and scoop closer to liam. I was in between Ryan and liam. What the heck is happening my subconscious screams. Soon the palming in the window stops as the car moves faster. It seems to calm my nerves. I look sideways at liam.
“Liam….” I croak out still shell
shocked. Liam eyes sort mine and they look expressionless.
“What’s all this liam” I voice out lowly. I hear Ryan sigh and when I get no answer I whip my head to Ryan, my eyes wide and questioning. Ryan breathes out and looks at me in pity.
“He’s never gonna tell you Emilia. I’d save you the stress and do so. His dad is a top notch politician, also has the biggest music band in Madrid and the whole of spain” He pauses and looks behind me at liam.
“Paige… is a popstar” Ryan deadpans and I feel the colour drain out of my face.
