Walking out on Liam was easier than I thought. I'm stubborn and he's more stubborn. I knew that was it. It'd be years since we actually see each other again. Years I thought..... Years....

...not hours.

I glare at the man stood in front of me as he does the same.

"Have you been following me?" I argue.

"No" he huffs, offended.

I narrow my eyes at him. "Liam"

"Yes" he mutters "but technically no"

I throw my hands in the air in defence. I should have known. Adrian was acting more weird than he already is before he left to get some 'milk'. I mean how else would Liam know I've been sulking away in Adrian's back garden?

"Why are you here?" I snap.

He sighs. "I- needed a break"

I snort. "In Adrian's backyard?"

He shrugs. "Couldn't think of a better place"

I form a scowl. Yes, like he just happens to know Adrian's house which is an hour drive from his.

"Liam" I groan "listen, I said everything I needed. So why are you here for real this time?"

He rolls his eyes at the back of his head for a moment before turning them to look at me.

Holy- not now Liam. This is not the moment to shake my heart.

"Ok fine" he grunts in surrender "I was beginning to miss you" he mumbles the last few lines but just loud enough for me to hear.

"What? Within 2 hours?" I laugh. I don't know if this man is being serious. I can't let my happy emotions get in the way.

"That's a long time" he says.

"You were adamant to live perfectly fine without me"

He smiles sheepishly. "That was 2 hours ago. This is now"

I couldn't believe the words coming out of this man's mouth. I don't know if I should feel happy or annoyed.

"This still doesn't change what I said" I remind him.

He litrally throws a frustrating grown at me. "Jesus Adeline, can you not see what I'm trying to say?"

I touched my heart. I'm offended that this man is calling me stupid indirectly.

"Have you tried to say it instead of hinting it?" I retort back at his attitude.

He scratched the back of his head as he mumbled under his breath as if he's deciding on his decision with his inner demon. I patiently watch him.

"Fuck it" he snaps, suddenly beginning to undo his shirt buttons.

I felt like a brick was thrown at me as I watch in shock. Holy cow, how did the conversation turn this steamy?

"L-Liam" I choke as the last button came undone. Please, I'm not ready for this. I walked out just 2 hours ago let my mind breathe.

"Let me show you my feelings" he said, stepping forward and pulling me closer to him.

Hell no. This is not what I think he is thinking right?

"Liam-Liam" I utter, slightly panicked "this is not the time- I'm not ready- we can't- we are meant to be divorcing- I'm on my period- wait no I- we possibly couldn't could we?- holy cheese, I did not say that- look Liam- let's atleast go to the bed-" my rambling was cutt of by Liam grabbing me gently and pushing my head against his chest as I feel his strong heart beat thump against his chest.

Wait. What?

His heart beat rocked up and I could feel it beat faster and harder against his chest. I was mesmerized as I begin to close my eyes appreciating it.

"You thought we were gonna have sex?" Liam laughs, dragging me out of my moment and embarrassing me. I pressed my lips together as I burry myself in his chest. I might as well take advantage while I'm being grilled.

"I mean since you were so ready we can-"

"No no no no!" I yell, cutting him off as I step back.

He laughs, puts on a smile and looks at me dearly

"Do you get it now?" He asks.

My clueless expression appeared again. What was it that he was showing me?

"Uh- maybe you need to show me again"

He sighs, shoving his hands through his hair roughly. "God woman!" He hisses "did you not feel my heart beating like crazy because of you?"

The penny finally dropped.

"Wai-wait What?" I stutter "I just thought you had palpitations"

How did I completely miss that?

Oh. My. Cheetos. This cannot be real right?

His confessing right? I mean why else would his heart beat just like mine when I'm near him? Unless we both suffer from palpitations.

I blink a few times, calculating it all inside my head. This confession was more difficult than A-level Maths. I don't know what to do or how to react.

"I-I don't get it" I blurt. I mean I do, but I don't.

Why is he admitting this now?

Liam takes a deep breath. He gulps hard before opening his mouth to speak. "I-feel the same way as-y-you" he stumbles on his words like it's the most difficult thing he could ever say.

I lost it.

"Happy Birthday-"

"Adeline" Liam grunts, laughing as he cuts me off "this is not the right day"

How else am I meant to respond to such confession? It's like I've been waiting for it for months and when it does happen I just can't accept it's real.

"W-why now" I ask, breathless. It feels like I've claimed 2 steps of the stairs.

Liam pouts, making my blood pressure rise. "I couldn't manage 2 hours without you. How was I gonna manage the rest of my life?"

That's all I needed.

A smile spread across my lips as I throw myself onto him. He laughs, wrapping his arms around my waist as I cling onto him.

"Tell me" I mutter "Tell me properly"

Liam chuckles deeply in my ear causing goosebumps.

"I love you"

I squeal like a child. He just said the L word. Holy cow, he just said the L word. He loves me?! Heck yeah he loves me!!

"What took you so long!" I hiss.

He pulled back. "You know I've had feelings for you for a while" he blurts "I was just stupid to think it was a joke"

That loving speech was ruined so gracefully by his 'joke' comment.

"Well I thought I had heart problems" I retort.

He smiles before planting a kiss on my lips. The long waited kiss.

"And I meant those kisses" he mumbles between the kisses he places on my lips. "And I liked teasing you"

I shake my head, slightly annoyed but his kisses just made it all seem okay.

"And I really don't like Jacob" he continued "or my brother or my grandfather having a say on our relationship"

He suddenly stopped, pulled back and looked at me wide eyed. "Grandfather!" He panics "shit. He's probably called the police on me already"

I litrally laugh in his face as I pull him into a kiss again. "I'm not getting you out from Jail again"

He smiles and rolls his eyes at me.

"I don't care about anything except us" I smile "grandfather can go fuu- hello Sir!" I yell, shoving Liam back and Bawing at the old hag- I man man who stood in front of me.

Shit. I could have lost my head then. Oh and Liam too.

The old man glared at me as Liam steps forward. "Grandfather I am not getting a divorce from Adeline and whatever y-"

"Look. I just want grandchildren" he shrugs, cutting Liam off.

I look at him confused. First of all, we've already had to many jokes with babies so I think my body needs a break from all this fakeness. And second of all,why is he so calm right now?

"O-ok ?" Liam utters a little shocked.

Grandfather smiles at us both before turning around to walk away. "I'm happy for you both" he mumbles as if he was speaking to himself.

I smiled. Jeez, maybe this man actually wanted this all this time? Maybe he just showed it a little differently to others.

Liam chuckles before turning around and kissing me passionately.

"I guess we've got work to do" he smirks, with a wink.

My cheeks flush red.

"Shut up!" I sheepishly smile.

"Oh wait. I forgot you're still a virgin!" He grins laughing before running away like a kid.

My eyes widen in horror as grandfather who had made it all the way to the door, turns around shocked. He looked shattered at this revelation.

I smile kindly, waving at him before chasing after his grandson so I can slap him to hell.

Some things never change.

And that's why it's perfect

The End.
