I walk outside and light up a cigarette as I'm just embarrassed and angry. I have never been more embarrassed in my 21 years on this earth. How can I face this man tomorrow. I toss my cigarette and head inside to my room.
I fall onto my bed with the thoughts of tonight repeating in my mind.. I've never had this intense of a want for a man... And it fucking sucks.
I set my alarm so I'm not late for the schedule. It's going to be a hectic day tomorrow and now I get to be embarrassed around Liam.
I eventually fall asleep and morning comes quicker than I wanted. I awake and immediately jump into action. Olivia has the make-up artists coming to the house as we all get did up. The bride and bride's maids look absolutely perfect.
I hug Olivia and tell her just how beautiful she looks and that I can not wait to see my daddy's face when he sees her. Holding her tears back she just hugs me tight and grabs my hand as we head to the limo to head to the venue.
The wedding is beautiful. Seeing my dad cry from seeing his bride is heart warming. He loves her so much. I on the other hand am in my head. Liam has been glancing at me a lot and I can't bring myself to look at him.. Even if he is my partner in line..
The ceremony isn't long but it is absolutely beautiful and heartwarming.
Daddy is officially Married.
As they walk down the steps Liv gets ready to toss her bouquet.. I somehow get in the range as she tosses it.. Right to me.. My eyes go wide as all eyes are on me for a moment..
The moment passes and all the noise goes back to my dad and Liv as they step into the limo and head to the house for the reception/ after party. I'm waiting for my ride as an old Ford mustang is slowing then stopped in front of me.
' Get in Emma '
' I have a ride .. Thanks. '
' Cmon Emma don't be like this .. I'm just offering a ride '
Reluctantly I grab the door handle and get in. I see Liam smile as he takes off. His suit jacket in the back seat, his button down sleeves are rolled up. His forearms.. hands .. fingers .. Just do something to me. The veins .. The muscles.. I'm not sure but cheese and fries.
' Look .. I'm sorry about last night.. Let me make it up to you princess. '
' Call the ride even ' I say dryly.
Liam pulls the car over into a mostly empty parking lot of a grocery store.
' Emma I didn't mean to offend you .. I just .. I just don't want either of us getting in deeper than we already are. '
' What are you talking about Liam '
' I crossed the line yesterday .. You are my best friends daughter. The fact that we're even having this conversation blows my mind. '
' You don't wanna fuck me I get it Liam you don't have to keep telling me. I'm embarrassed enough as it is. '
' It's can't not want Emma '
' We better get to the party '
I hear a sigh as he puts the car in gear and we're back on the road. As we pull into the drive we park and get out, Liam goes to the party in the back yard and I go to my room to change out of my maid of honor dress.
I grab a tight black dress with a double thigh slit and black velvet heels, I let my hair down and head to the party.
I go looking for my dad as I haven't seen him much today. I find him next to Liam but I still keep my path. I hug my dad as before I say anything
' Congratulations daddy, I wish you and Liv a lifetime of happiness '
' Thank you honey, You and Olivia looked absolutely beautiful today, I can't wait for the pictures I'll need one for my office. '
I grab 2 shots from a passing server and down one before he can even walk away. My father goes on with the three of us.
' Emma, Sweetheart, did I mention that I invited Liam to stay until his flight back Monday, I know you hate being alone so if you want Mia to come stay you can '
' I'll be fine daddy all I want is for you to enjoy your honeymoon and your beautiful bride.. speaking of where is she '
' Oh she's been all over, being dragged every which way by family, I've lost count at the amount of congratulations we've gotten today '
' Well I'll leave you two be, I'll see you in a bit dad '
I can feel Liams eyes all over my body as I walk away, soon enough hearing my dad going back to chatting. I take the other shot and I mingle drinking a few more shots along the way. There's a lot of dancing, singing and just love in the air. One of the most wholesome core memory I'll forever cherish.
It's nearing 8 and my father comes to me and gives me a bear hug,
' Emma Thank you for today. I couldn't ask for a better daughter than you. '
' Don't make me cry daddy '
' Oh Emma honey today has been such a joy thank you ' I hear Olivia say to me as she pulls me in for a big hug.
' Aren't you two supposed to go celebrate in that big heart shaped suite until your honeymoon tomorrow '
' Yes honey our limo will be leaving here in a bit, we've still got a few more guests to thank and send off '
Liv says to my dad as they leave arm in arm heading to the few guests that are left. I take another shot as they see the last ones out and they grab their suitcases and begin their journey of love.
I'm pretty tipsy as I head to the end of the stone pathway and I light up a cigarette. A lot of thoughts race through my mind, most of them revolving around the fact that Liam and I will be the only ones here until he leaves Monday.
I step on my cigarette as I head back inside. At this point I think I'll take a drink up and relieve my own damn self. So that's exactly what I head to do.
I head inside the now quiet house as I open the cupboard for the vodka I'm spooked when I hear Liams voice.
' I'll take a double ' He chuckles.
I grab an extra glass as I make two double screwdrivers.
I lift myself up onto the counter before I take a drink. I look at Liam as he's leaning against the sink counter staring at me.
' Soo .. Will you ever move back to America? ' I ask him trying to break the silence.
' I've already started the process.. I'll be moved back within the month actually. '
' Oh. Well hopefully you'll enjoy being home '
' I'm sure I will.. So where you working these days '
' The Lux Lounge ' I say slickly.
I watch his face as he looks surprised.
' Really.. Does Joey know '
' No.. It's not his business. You seem to keep forgetting I'm 21 I'm not a child.. I'm old enough to do whatever the fuck I want to ' I say as I finish my drink, almost annoyed at him.
' I'm just surprised is all, You do have the look for it.. '
' So you're familiar with it '
' Yes '
I set my glass down as I slide down onto my feet
' Would you like to come grab your shirt Liam '
' Oh, uh sure '
