One Chance (Part 1)(84)
“I hate it when you’re right,” I sigh.
“I’m right a lot babe, get used to it. Now why I came over here, what do you want to do for New Years?”
“I don’t care.”
“Do you want to go to a party or something small and quiet?”
“You can decide.”
“Fine, small and quiet it is then,” he says with a look.
“That sounds perfect. I will let you know that Kenzie wants to throw a small party here, but I don’t foresee that happening, because Mom and Dad are not going to supply alcohol to minors, then let them drive home.”
“Yeah, I don’t see that happening,” he says with a smile.
“What are you doing now?”
“Hanging out with you,” he says with a confused look.
“Want to watch a movie with me?”
“Sure, let’s go,” he says as we head downstairs to the den to watch a movie. Liam knows my house as well as I know the ins and outs of his.
We spend the rest of the day and evening hanging out, watching movies, talking, and making out. I end up falling asleep on Liam halfway through the third movie. Needless to say, New Year’s didn’t go quite as planned.
The rest of the week is spent hanging out with Kenzie, Brody, Isaac, and Liam. Break comes and goes and before I know it, Liam and I are heading back to school.
I’m excited to see Quinn; she’s already back at the house. I already filled her in on all the news that happened with me. She was quite shocked to find out I was pregnant. I didn’t get happy or upset, I guess, because I didn’t really know I had it until I lost it. I’m not sure.
The drive back to school is so much better. We are able to laugh, talk, and joke around like normal and for once it feels great. I didn’t think I could love this man any more than I already do, but I can.
Liam pulls up at the sorority house around 7 p.m. to drop me off. “Do you want to come in?” I ask as he grabs my bag out of the trunk.
“No, I’m sure Quinn and you have lots to talk about.”
“Yes we do,” I say with a smile. “You have practice tomorrow?”
“Yeah, early. I’ll talk to you tonight though,” he says before leaning down to give me a chaste kiss on the lips, “I love you Haley.”
“I love you too,” I say excitedly. It feels so great to say that out loud to him and to hear him say it back. Swoon. I watch as he walks around to get in his car before making my way up the few steps to head inside.
“Finally bitch, I feel like you guys drove extra slow to get here,” Quinn says from the living room.
“We didn’t I assure you,” I say as I drop my bag to give my roommate a hug.
“So, I want all the details,” she says as she pulls me along to the couch.
I end up telling her everything that happened, even down to the point where Liam won’t have sex with me yet, because of what the doctor said.
“Aww, so you two are officially a couple. How awesome is that?!”
“I know right. I never thought I would see the day.”
“I did, you two are great together.”
“So, how are things with Mark?”
“Good, I really like him,” she says with the biggest smile.
“That’s great, I’m really happy for you.”
“He wants me to meet his family,” she says looking nervous.
“That’s great. They will love you,” I say proudly.
“I hope you’re right.”
“When are you doing that?”
“Spring break.”
“Nice, that’s not long from now.”
“I know and I’m nervous, like really nervous.”
“Don’t be. It will be fine, you’ll see.”
We spend the rest of the evening hanging out with each other and some of the other girls in the house before calling it a night. I talk to Liam on the phone for a few minutes before its lights out.
Chapter Fifteen
The next few months go by without too much chaos. Liam’s team won the BCS Championship game, which is awesome for him and the school. Now, he’s getting ready to hopefully get picked up in the draft. I couldn’t be more excited, though as we sit here, Brody looks like he would rather be somewhere else.
Liam’s predicted to go in the second round so we are all here at home, waiting to see what happens.
“I need to talk to you now,” I say to Brody as I walk out of the room. He follows behind.
“What’s up?”
“What the hell is your problem?” I snap.
“Nothing.”
“Could you look any more pissed off that you have to be here; if you want to, you can leave.”
“No, I want to see him get drafted.”
