Chapter 39: The Truth Must Be Told

He shook his head. "No. That was one of the tis he kicked my ass. He caught

sneaking into your room that day. I’d told him I was going to the bathroom," he said, laughing and shaking his head.

"I can’t believe my brother kicked your ass. That’s just too funny."

"I’m just glad he didn’t kill

for dating you. I can hold my own in a fight, but Jake’s a damn psycho when it cos to you." Liam frowned, shaking his head slightly, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.

"Yeah, well, you better make sure you don’t hurt

then, huh?" I teased.

He nodded. "I would never hurt you, ever." He squeezed my hand gently, looking right into my eyes, his whole deanor showing

the truth of his words.

I believed him, I didn’t think he would ever hurt

on purpose, but I knew he would break my heart sooner or later. When he went to college and we were apart, even if he didn’t cheat, that was going to hurt badly. Even if we weren’t dating it would be awful being without him, but now it would be like torture. I pushed the thoughts out of my mind. I couldn’t think about it, not until it happened and even then we could get through it. I loved him enough to wait for him. I just hoped that he would feel the sa in four months’ ti when all the college skanks were throwing themselves at him and I was a three hour drive away.

"Right then, you ready to go?" Liam asked after I had eaten a massive piece of chocolate cake all to myself. I nodded and he threw so money on the table, holding out a hand to help

up.

I grinned. "You know you’re shaping up to be the best boyfriend in the world," I said happily.

"I love it when you call

that." He grinned and wrapped his sweater around my shoulders as we walked out into the cold.

I gripped hold of his hand, not wanting to let go. As we got to the car he even opened my door for . "Such a gentleman, Liam," I teased.

I watched him walk round to the driver’s side. He was just so handso, and he was mine, I couldn’t help but smile at that knowledge. I’d never dread I would ever have anything like this with a guy. When I used to think about dating it would scare the life out of

because I couldn’t let people touch , and all the ti I had the perfect guy who was in love with , who held

and kept

safe every night, and I didn’t even know. How could I have been so stupid?

When we got back to my place, it was only eight o’clock. Jake wouldn’t be ho for another hour so we had the house to ourselves. "Co here, I want to talk to you," I said, pulling him towards the sofa. He looked a little worried and nervous. I pulled him down next to , sitting close to him. I could feel the passion building and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I would be ready to take things further with him. I’d never felt like this before and although we had only been together for five days, I’d known him forever. I trusted him like no one else and I knew he wouldn’t hurt . I wasn’t worried about him not being able to wait for , I could see in his eyes he would wait as long as I wanted, and that knowledge was pushing

forwards. If I doubted he would wait for , then there would be no way that I would feel like this. I gripped his hand tightly as I just looked at him, trying to find the right words to express my feelings for him.

"What’s wrong, Angel?" he asked quietly, frowning rubbing circles in the back of my hand.

Oh crap, could I say it? I was so embarrassed; I’d never said anything like this to anyone before.

I took a deep breath and willed my voice not to show the nerves I felt inside. "I love you, Liam," I said honestly. He looked at , shock clear across his face. His mouth was hanging open, his eyes wide as he took in what I said. I couldn’t help but laugh. "OK, that’s not how I imagined your reaction." I winced, waiting for him to say sothing.

He pushed

down onto my back, rolling on top of . "You love ? Seriously?" he asked, the shock leaving his face to be replaced by excitent.

I nodded, feeling my cheeks heat up slightly. "Yes, I love you."

He laughed and kissed

passionately. When he pulled away his eyes were sparkling with happiness. "Thank God! I thought you were going to dump

or sothing. You looked so serious that I thought you didn’t want to be with ," he said, shaking his head, grinning.

I laughed. "You did? That’s why you were looking nervous?" I asked, giggling.

"Say it again," he whispered.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to , his mouth about an inch away from mine. "I love you, Liam Jas," I whispered.

"I love you too, Amber Walker." He kissed , hard, and I couldn’t help but kiss him back with the sa intensity. I ran my hands down his back and gripped the bottom of his t-shirt, pulling it up over his head, trailing my fingers down his chest, just marveling at how flawless he was. His hands were roaming all over my body hungrily; he gripped the bottom of my top and started pulling it up slowly, as if he was waiting for so sort of reaction. I felt my love for him bump up another gear because of how thoughtful and patient he was with . I smiled against his lips and he pulled away, looking at

curiously.
