Hey! umm, crime scene investigation here and I'm good, how about you ?" i say gulping down a lump of embarrassment about my stuttering voice.
"good good. He is? your boyfriend?" pointing his finger towards Nick and his eyes furiously stuck on the red roses.
"no no. He is...." i start saying
"Hi, im Nick, Nick Madera" Nick says holding his hand out forward towards Liam, cutting me off, i don't know what the heck is he doing.
"Hi. Liam Black" he says, shaking Nick's hand. I can feel the heaviness in the air.
"Ahhhh so you're the mystery guy who had Melissa all head over heels huh." Nick says laughing.
" i guess. yes." Liam replies. His eyes stuck on me holding a sea of questions but don't know where to start.
"Not to foist on you both but wanna pitch in for a drink with me and Brady?" Liam asks.
"sure!" I and Nick say at the same time. Here it goes, now Liam's murderous eyes are on which I've never seen before but it makes sense. Gosh!! everything was smooth, why does this misunderstanding have to be there now?
I don't know why does he care, I mean its already been 4 years.
We are walking towards Liam's car and Nick is behind us.
"Got a hot date shortcake?" Liam asks.
"what!? no! He is not my date and this is a misunderstanding...." i say. getting inside the car with Liam and Nick is going in Brady's 'Shelby Mustang'.
"Yeah right! even the red roses were a misunderstanding?, Melissa don't bullshit me" he is saying clasping the steering wheel and raising his voice a little loud.
"NO! those are just flowers, JUST FLOWERS!!" i raise my voice .
"He is not my date, we are just childhood friends. He is just pulling your leg!" I'm a lot quieter now.
"pulling my leg? why?" He asking.
"why do you even care, huh? you did not even call me for the past one and a half year!!" i say totally frustrated.
"why should i not 'care'? did you forget our promise on that damn bench? I've been fucking single for the past four years, dying to see that you'll show up out of no where, and hold my hand. The fact i didn't call, was because my phone fell in my shit and I'm sorry i didnt dig inside my own shit to find my goddamn phone. I lost all my contacts Melissa and i tried so hard calling all the agencies and forensic whatever departments just to get your damn number." He is saying looking at me. His eyes have once again captured me and here i am falling in love again.
"You did?" I ask, letting out an audible gas and sucking it back in.
"yes i did" he says.
All this while i thought that promises are just words but sometimes they are not.
"I love you Shortcake" He blurts out.
WHAT!! i can't believe my ears, his words are blocking the sounds of the entire world and he is laughing my most favourite laugh.
"And i love you Liam" i say stressing on his name like its a precious little china doll. Tears are rolling down my eyes and he pulls me in for a hug.
His coat is as warm as it was in Manhattan and i love it. He pushes me back and hold my face to give me the most irresistible kiss. His mouth has the same sweetness. His hands have not forgotten to caress my head.
"I fucking love your flamethrower red" he says laughing but he does not break the kiss.
"and i love only your mouth on it" i say smiling.
I hear everyone clapping their hands inside the restaurant, Nick and Brady are coming out of their Mustang, i hear Nick screaming"whoooooo." and giving me a wink with the pointy fingers.
"don't you dare try sending her red roses again." Liam says laughing, still holding my head in his coat.
Nick holds his both hands up surrendering and says "Roger that sir!"
