Chapter 10 -Moving on
Steffy should be packing for her trip with Carter, but it had been a long day at the office. Hope trying to be nice, but still screaming I won Liam. She was even planning a bridal line to show off the dresses in her up coming wedding. A wedding that would not be happening if she had told Liam not to marry her.
"Hope is always honest. I can trust her," Liam had said to Steffy over and over.
If Liam could not love her the way she is, then why did she want him so bad? Here she was laying on the sofa watching Casablanca, and pigging out of junk food crying over a man that told her she was not good enough.
Carter walks in and puts his hand on her shoulder.
"Let's put the ice-cream away, Steffy," Carter said taking the bowl out of her hand.
"Probably a good idea," said softly.
"Is this about Liam?"
"Yes. I hate how he makes me feel. I know I am not sweet and as pure as Hope. But that does not make me unworthy of love," she said finally, surprised how easy it was to talk to Carter.
"You are so worthy of love. And Liam has no right to look at you like that when is supposed to be marrying Hope. He is not playing fair," Carter said in a calm voice.
"I am sorry. I shouldn't be talking about Liam to you," she said finally.
"Don't be your processing. But ask yourself this. Who is the better choice for you? Someone who has a crazy controlling father, left you several times, and can't make up his mind. Are someone who has been there for you helping you move on," Carter said reasoning with her.
"You are the better choice. I care about you so much," Steffy said kissing his lips softly. Their kisses get harder and longer, her hands reaching for the snaps on her pants.
"If we are together, I may fall in love with you," Carter warned.
Steffy says nothing, but kisses him again. She is ready to move on. Tired of crying over Liam.
