Liam takes off his glasses as he heard the plane's announcement was landing at LAX. He managed to put his seatbelt on and waited until the attendant said that we have safely landed. He took a deep breath, feeling the breeze as soon as he walks out of the Airport. He immediately grabs a cab and asks the driver to take you to a hotel.
Liam smiles as he looks outside the window. It's been what, four years since you left LA for good. Actually, if it wasn't your cousin's wedding, you wouldn't dare to return here to LA. For you, LA is a nightmare you just want to forget. Being here always brings you back the pain.
His thoughts were suddenly stopped when his phone starts vibrating. He smiled when he saw his cousin's name on the screen,
Hey Lu~~ Liam said as soon as he answers the call
You're back? Please tell me you're back. Lucy asked
Yes, I am. Liam answered
That's good, So I'll see you tonight?
Not tonight Lu~ I'm tired from my 11 hours flight, plus I need to call on my work later tonight. Liam said
Okay, fine~ I was about to Introduce you to my fiancee and his friends but I guess that can wait. Go take your time and rest well love. Lucy said
Okay, thanks~ tell them I"m sorry. Liam said
I'll call you again tomorrow love. Lucy said
Okay, ~ Au revoir. Liam said as he ends the call
As soon as he checks in into his suit, Liam took a shower and immediately called his assistant in France and reminds her to send him the files that need his approval. He is working as Financial Consultant in a Multi-Million Company in Paris. After graduating with his Master's two years ago he was offered a job by his professor. After the meeting with your boss, Liam decided to go out for a walk and drop by the nearest supermarket to buy his necessities.
Oh My God!! Liam! Liam Danes are that you!
Liam was surprised by a woman pushing his cart.
Yeah, and you are?
I'm Megan, remember? Megan from the cheering squad?
Sorry, but I can't remember being friends with you. Liam said
It's okay, we're not actually friends, so I understand., so how are you, where have you been, you missed our Graduation. Megan said
I-I'm okay~ I'm now based in France, just visit LA for my cousin's wedding. Liam said
Ahh, really that's nice. Anyway, have you seen Lucas?
Excuse me?
Lucas, the School MVP, I remember you being so close with him. Megan said
No~ we are not friends, and I haven't heard of him since I left. Liam said
oohh~ that's strange, I actually thought you two were a thing, just like you he didn't attend the Graduation Ceremony too. Megan said
No, we're not, anyway, I'll go ahead. Liam said as he walks away
As much as possible, Liam wants to avoid the talks that remind him of Lucas. He already moved on from all that pain that man has caused you. And you are not going back to that old Liam who was crazy in love with a man that thinks that being in a gay relationship is disgusting.
Liam wakes up by the loud ringing of his phone.
Hello~~ he said in a hoarse voice
Please don't tell me you just woke up? Lucy said the as soon as you answer the call
Then I won't. Liam said
Seriously Liam~ We are going to meet the designer for the final fitting!!
Okay~ I'll just take a quick shower then I'll meet you at the shop.
Faster!! Lucy said as she ends the call
Liam knows how scary Lucy is when she's mad so he took a quick shower and took a cab to the shop she's talking about.
Urgh~ finally! Lucy said as soon as Liam enters the boutique
Nice to see you again is better than "finally" Lu~. Liam said
Well nice to see you again dear cousin. Lucy said
So shall we start or are we still waiting for someone? Liam ask
Yes~ I'm still waiting for my Fiancee's brother, and just like you, he's late. Lucy said
At least I'm here now. Liam said
Yeah right~ Come one let's start.
"Sorry I'm late"
Liam was surprised to hear that voice, It was already four years ago, but he was sure who is the owner of that voice.
"LUCAS"
I told you it's eight am! Lucy said
Sorry Lu, I almost forgot about this, luckily Robin called me.
Whatever~ By the way I want you to meet my cousin Liam.
Liam took a deep breath before he looks at Lucy and smile.
LIAM~~ Lucas said
Did you know each other? Lucy asked
Yeah, we were schoolmates in College, what a small world isn't it. Liam said
Y-yeah~ Lucas said
Shall we start Lu? Liam said
Yeah, come on. Lucy said as she pulled Liam
Are you hiding something from me? Lucy whispered at Liam
Like what? Liam asked
What's with you and my future brother-in-law?
Nothing~ told you we are just schoolmates. Liam said
If you say so. Lucy said as she smiles at Liam
Can I go ahead now Lu? Lucas said after he was done with his fitting
I have a meeting with my boss this afternoon. Liam said
Okay~ but don't forget my bridal shower party at Jade's house tomorrow. Lucy said
Sure~ take care. Liam said as he leaves the boutique
Liam wants to spend more time with Lucy but Lucas's presence is bothering you. You didn't expect to see him there, and the worse is he is Lucy's brother-in-law. so there is a big possibility that you will see him again.
LIAM!! LIAM WAIT!
Liam walks as fast as he can as soon as he heard that voice calling his name again.
Liam! Lucas said as he finally holds his hand
What do you want! Liam ask Lucas
C-can we talk?
We have nothing to talk about! Liam said as he pulls his hand and walks away from Lucas
Please Liam let's talk.
No! First of all, we have no reason to talk about anything you want to say, second, I'm too busy I have no time to waste. Liam said as he gets in the cab
Lucas took a deep sigh as he watches Liam's leave. He hates you. And you understand him, you actually hate yourself too, You wanted to apologize, but you know that it be so hard. Especially now that he despises you. He changed, he's not that shy man you've met four years ago. And that was all because of you for sure.
Liam took a deep sigh as he leaves Lucas. You didn't expect to see him again after so many years. And most of all I didn't expect him to be related to Lucy's fiancee. You leave LA because of him and you are definitely not planning to associate your life with him again.
Hey Lu~~ Liam said as he answers his cousin's call
What happened?
Nothing~ I really just have work to do.
Oh come on Li~ you escaping just right after the fitting sounds suspicious, are you hiding something/, or perhaps scaping someone. Lucy said
N-No~ I really just something important to do. Liam said
You are absolutely hiding something, so I guess I'll just have to see you later in your hotel room. Lucy said as she ends the call
Hey~ are you okay? What happened? Lucy asked
Nothing~ Lucas said
No~ you and Liam can't deceive me. I'll see you tomorrow, for now, I have to go, I have an interrogation to do. Lucy said
Liam knew that it was Lucy that has been banging outside your hotel room. So you have no choice but to open it.
For Christ's sake Lu!! What is wrong with you? Liam said
You and I need to talk! Lucy sad while grinning
Come in then~ Liam sarcastically said
So~~ You and my brother-in-law, what's the real deal?
I told you we were schoolmates back in College. Liam said
Oh, Come on! I know there's more than you being "schoolmates". Lucy said
Fine~ me and your "brother-in-law" we used to be intimate with each other. Liam said
Intimate? What do you mean?
We used to "sleep" together!! Liam said
Ohh My God!! Are you serious? You and Lucas?
Yeah~ but that was four years ago!
That's not the whole story, right? Lucy said
Okay fine! I- I used to have feelings for him, yeah, why would I even sleep with him multiple times if I'm not. Laim said
Really, what happened?
Well, I thought we were on the boat, but I found out we're not. He just fuck me to release his steam. He was even disgusted to find out about his friends finding out about us.
Who wouldn't be ashamed, if they found out that the University Hunk was seeing the School Gay!
Did he break up with you?
If breaking up with me means telling me that he disgusts me. I guess he did. Liam said
Oh, I'm Sorry~ I didn't know. Lucy said
No, It's Okay~ You didn't know anything, so it's fine. Liam said
So what's your plan? Lucy said
I have no plans to associate my life again with him, but for the sake of your wedding, I'll just endure it for a few more days, after all, I have to be back in France just right after your wedding.
Thank you, Liam, and again I'm sorry. Lucy said
Liam was just on his bed lost his thoughts, doing nothing but stares at the ceiling. Seeing Lucas brought you back to memory lane. He was your first in everything. He was your first love, first kiss, first sex, and of course he was the only one who ever made you feel bad about yourself. If you could only take the time back, you wouldn't have let yourself fall in love with him,
He was a dream come true, but we are also your worse nightmare.
