Macy’s POV
It was already sundown when I woke up, I take in my surroundings, and my mind floods back to the events that happened today. Liam came to the office, and we kissed!! Oh my goodness, then he brought me here in his car, he drove for two hours to bring me here just because I mentioned it.
I walked inside the bathroom and found a jogger and a sweatshirt neatly folded on the counter with a pair of flip-flops, I smiled at his gesture, such a gentle, caring man. I quickly took a shower and wore the clothes, looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed at my appearance. Oh, Macy what have you gotten yourself into, I asked myself.
I strolled out of the room, as I come down the stairs I heard music playing from the sitting room, I walked further into the room to see Liam in the kitchen with an apron hanging perfectly on his body and a spatula in one hand, he looked so serious with whatever he was doing in there. The kitchen smelt good, and my stomach cried from hunger, reminding me that I hadn’t had anything to eat since sunrise.
“You look better, come I made dinner bet you are starving.”
He says with his deep masculine voice. I walked to the counter and took a seat, my eyes followed his every movement as he served the food, which looked and smelt wonderful. And just as I imagined, the food tastes remarkable, Mrs. Torres truly gave birth to her sons, I mean Derick’s a good cook too, but Mr. Gorgeous here can collect the crown, he can open his restaurant with this kind of cooking skills without losing any customers.
Dinner went well, we didn’t talk much and just ate, it was more of eye contact with each other all through. Later that evening, Liam offered to take me for a stroll on the beach, which I accepted.
The weather was just perfect for our walk, he held my hands in his as we walked barefoot on the beach sands, the waves hitting the shore, the cool night breeze as we walked hand in hand.
I barely knew this man, but I felt safe in his arms, It’s like he completes me in ways that I cannot understand, if this is a dream, then I never want to wake up because I love it here, away from the world and its wicked ways, just alone in the presence of nature with the one person my soul desires the most.
“Thanks again for dinner, I enjoyed your meal.” I say.
We are now seating on the sand together facing the endless ocean under the sky with the moon shining bright down on us.
“Macy, you already thanked me enough, how many times do you plan to thank me.” he says with a cute smile on his face.
“I’m just grateful Liam, you are going to these lengths to make sure that I am okay, you even cooked dinner with your hands when you have plenty of people for that.”
“Macy I would do more just to put a smile on your face, mmm, more so this is nothing.” I smile at his comments, Oh Liam
“I never imagined that you would love the kitchen more or less know how to cook well, Liam.”
“There are so many things you do not know about me, Macy so many, moreover, I am my mother’s son and I learned from the best.”
“Of course, you did, Mrs. Torres is one of the best cooks I’ve ever met, whenever I get to visit Waterfall she prepares a lot of good food, I even get to pack some food back home.”
“Tell me about Waterfall, I mean how do you see it, do you like the place?”
Liam asks after a while of silence between us. Waterfall has been like a second home to me ever since Derick introduced me, I love how the community lives as one family. It’s like they have the same originality.
“I love everything about your community Liam, they are so loving and that’s what matters. There is nothing more important than showing love and kindness to one another, and this past few months I have visited, I would say it’s the best place because I have not just witnessed it, I have also been a part of that love and kindness. So, I just don’t like it, Liam, I love Waterfall.”
We stayed out for a few more hours on the beach talking about numerous things, for a moment I forgot about all my worries, it has been a while since I seemed this happy, I put everything aside, deciding to make the most out of this happy moment. We walked back into the house with my hands still in his.
“Your hands are cold, come I’ll make you hot tea” he says as he takes me to the kitchen.
After making tea for both of us, he ushers me into a room, with a big TV screen and sofas.
“What’s this?” I asked,
“Let’s watch a movie together, Macy I already picked which one, so you just relax and enjoy it.”
He says, already setting the TV up, I look around, and I see some popcorn, a bottle of wine, and other things one can eat. This is too much, how can he be so kind to me like this he shouldn’t go through this length to put a smile on my face, his already done more than he should now have this, how can I thank him enough?
“Macy common, what? What is it, the movie is about to start come take a seat.” I stared at him with tears streaming down my eyes.
“Are you crying? Macy are you alright, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? please answer me.”
Liam comes over to me looking worried, and for the first time today I could see just how much this man cares for me. ”
“No, you did nothing wrong Liam, plus I’m fine these are tears of happiness.” I told him
“Who cries when they are happy Macy.”
“I do alright.” I tell between tears
“Come sit here with me, the movie is starting.” he says with a smile
I walked over to him and lay on his body as the movies start. Everything was perfect, it felt peaceful.
But I had a feeling this was the calm before the storm.
