Macy’s POV
The only person I want to be with right now is Liam, no one else but him, It hurts me that he left just like that. I still don’t understand what’s going on, I don’t know the reason I’m so drawn to him, but I couldn’t care less. Having him close to me was all I ever wanted, he completes me in ways I can’t imagine, and seeing him today brought nothing but Joy to me.
Ever since I met Liam at the party, I have thought of no one but him, even my boyfriend Derick doesn’t come to mind anymore, I don’t know what I feel for Liam, but I know that I never want to be apart from him, so where does that leave Derick? After Liam left the apartment, I thought of plenty of things, Why is this happening to me? How can I want my boyfriend’s brother? I would rather not cause any trouble, but I can’t help it. Plenty of questions in my head.
I lay on my couch trying to think of how my life changed in less than two weeks, everything was in place before his arrival, and Derick and I were doing good I never thought of anyone else than my boyfriend, but now things have changed in ways I can’t imagine. I now go from loving Derick to wanting and lusting over his brother Liam. Furthermore, I close my eyes as tears fall down my cheeks, am I a bad person? Likewise, I asked no one in particular as I stared up at the ceiling, I felt like my heart was about to be torn into two. I held my chest, as I cried out loud, uncontrollable tears gushing out of my eyes, I hugged my pillow tight as I cry myself to sleep.
Furthermore, I was in my slumber when I felt strong hands touch me, I opened my eyes to see Derick still in his work clothes, bent down on the carpet touching my cheeks with a smile on his face, he looked at me with love shown brightly in his eyes, How can I hurt this man? Not only that, but I think to myself, this man who has shown me nothing but love, I’m a bad person to try hurting him in this worst way. I can’t look into his eyes right now my conscience would not allow it, my heart was eating me. I had to make him leave.
“Hey baby, you passed out on the couch.” he says,
“Derick, what are you doing?” I ask, pretending to be annoyed,
“I missed you.” he says with all sincerity, I stand up and go to the kitchen to avoid his eyes.
“Derick, you should have not barged in like this, I mean it’s late for your surprises.” I yell at him,
I see the confusion in his eyes, and I feel so sad about my actions right now. He tries to apologize, but I don’t give him the chance to, I need him to leave, I feel so guilty about what’s happening, and I want to avoid hurting him more by pushing him away if he tries to touch me later, so it’s better this way, I need to clear my head I need to be alone.
We argued for thirty minutes or should I say I argued with him because all he did was beg me, it’s a good thing he heeded my pleas and finally decided to go, that was the most heated argument we’ve ever had, I saw the hurt in his eyes Derick was in pain that I pushed him away, but the truth is I too I’m in so much pain.
Immediately he left, I ran to my room, closed the door, fell on my bed, and cried my eyes out. For the second time that night, I cried myself to sleep.
I woke up with pain in my head, which must be from crying too much last night, I shrugged at myself as I stood facing the mirror in my bathroom. I looked like a mess, my eyes were red and puffy from crying all night, and my hair was scattered looking improper, no matter how bad my heart hurts with the situation at hand I still can’t miss work, so I immediately showered, got ready for work, and left for the office.
It was a sunny day today. The weather was just perfect and since I left my car at the office due to the incident that occurred last night, I decided to take a stroll to the office which was 20 minutes on foot.
I got to the office earlier than expected and prepared for today’s work, I got myself coffee on my way to the office, so after setting myself up I sat at my desk and took a sip of my still-hot coffee, allowing my mind to wander back to yesterday’s events. A few minutes later, my phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts, without checking the number I picked up the call. “Hello.”
“Hey, beautiful.”
I hear a male husky voice over the phone, this is a voice I can remember even while I am asleep, the same voice that haunts me in my dreams. I was so shocked he called me, how did he even get my number, I took the phone off my ear and stared at the number for a second before putting it back on my ear.
“Hello, Macy are you there?”,
“Yes…yes I…yes I’m here.” I stutter oh dear why am I even stuttering
“It’s Liam, Macy how are you?”,
“Yes, I know, uh I mean I know I don’t have your number, but I know it’s you, uh, I’m fine.” I say all at once. He laughs softly at my words, he sounds so perfect, I can’t help but laugh too.
“Relax Macy, I know you realize it’s me because you recognized my voice, plus aren’t you surprised how I got your number, Macy?”
“I’m not, I mean you knew my address without me telling you, so having my number is not a surprise to me.” I tell him
“I thought as much, are you really okay Macy? I have a feeling you are not happy.”
Liam tells me. How does he know how I’m feeling?
“I’m fine Liam, I’ve just got a lot going on with work.” I lie
“And Derick?”, I freeze at his question
Just then I hear a knock on my door, Lori comes in immediately mouthing
“You have a visitor.” without wasting much time he comes in with his phone to his ear, Similar to how I have mine to my ear.
Liam!
