Liam's POV

I could watch her sleep all day. That was the best night of my life and now I get to wake up with her in my arms. I'm startled as I hear her phone vibrating in her purse that is now on the floor by our heads. I look at my watch 6:00 a.m. Who the hell would be calling her at this time of day on a Sunday? I hope everything is okay. She begins to stretch and I tighten my grip around her. I hope we don't have a repeat of yesterday morning. "Good morning Peach."

Definitely not a repeat, she stretches and puts her arms around my neck "good morning babe." God this feels so good. I've never had this before. I had a girlfriend in high school, but we never got to wake up together and I've done the walk of shame in the morning a few times. This is different. Waking up in Sophie's arms is where I belong. Her phone begins to shake again. "Someone really wants to talk to you. It went off five minutes ago." She gracefully reached over and grabbed her purse and yanked her phone out of it.

"Hello" she said with a sleepy voice. I could hear the person on the other line talking a mile a minute. Sophie didn't say anything.

"Jasmine are you done now? Yes. Yes. Okay." Sophie turned and looked at me.

"She wants to talk to you." she handed me her phone.

"Hello. I do. Yes, I know her father. I will. I know. Okay. Bye." I hung up the phone and handed it back.

"What did she say?"

"She asked me if I know how special you are. Then she asked me if I knew what your father would do to me if I hurt you. She told me to treat you right, and she said that I was the luckiest guy in the world. That was it." Sophie rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to kill her when I talk to her."

"Don't Peach, she's a good friend. She cares about you. I'm just glad she's in New York, because I'd hate to ever do anything to piss her off." Sophie giggled and kissed my hand.

"Thank you Liam."

"For what?"

"For everything." She snuggled against me. "For talking to my crazy friend, for dinner on the boat, for showing me your Mom's star, for my outfit, for s'mores, and for making me feel." She paused as she kissed my neck sending a wake-up call to my groin which was already on high alert "special."

I let out a deep breath that I didn't realize I was holding. I smelled her hair and kissed her head. "Thank you Angel. I had an amazing night too. We better get up."

"What if I don't want to?" She said as she wiggled her tight little ass against my growing erection.

"Fuck Sophie, you're killing me." I pulled her up with. "Not like this Sophie. Not today. What would your father say if he knew I took your virtue on our first date? Let's go make some breakfast." I held her hand as we walked down to my apartment.

She hugged me when we got inside "thank you Liam for being considerate of me and my father. Why don't you go take a cold shower while I make some breakfast?" She turned me towards the shower and slapped my ass "besides I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt by that pointy thing in your pocket."

"You're killing me baby. I hope you know that." I said as I took my shirt off and looked back at her before shutting my bedroom door. Oh yeah, I've still got it. Maybe she's not immune to the Grey effect. The cold shower didn't help much. When I emerged from my room the apartment smelled delicious. Sophie greeted my with a huge stack of pancakes with bacon and coffee.

"What are you doing today?" she asked.

"First I'm having a delicious breakfast with my girl, and then I need to work on an English paper, call my Mother, and go to a house meeting at Sigma Nu. What about you?"

"First breakfast with my very handsome guy, and then I need to finish putting together a project for my business math class, and then I'm going to the beach with my roommate. Reading at the beach doesn't make my sociology assignment so repulsive."

"Sounds fun, but take your mace and add some sunscreen to your purse today, but the leave the rain coats at home I don't think you'll need them since your guy won't be with you."

She winked at me "my very handsome guy" you mean.

"Yeah him." I bent over and kissed her.

We finished our breakfast and she helped me clean the kitchen before I walked her home. She teased me about my car as we walked hand and hand. I can't believe she called it a sex machine. That's what Mom called it too when Dad and I brought it home. It really grossed me out when they asked if they could borrow it.

Saying goodbye wasn't easy, but we both had things we had to do. I called my parents while I cleaned up the roof. Mom kept asking about Sophie. She was digging for information. I hope Taylor isn't on to us. I need to talk to Sophie about how she wants to handle things with him. I felt inspired writing my paper for my literature class. The professor had asked us to compare a current couple to Jayne Eyre and Edward Rochester. It is a great paper I'll need to thank Peach for being my muse. I still had time before I had to get to my meeting so I called Spencer. After all these years we're still best friends. I can't wait till he transfers down next semester. I can't believe Sam told Spencer that I'm whipped. If that's what they want to call it I don't care. I'm crazy about Sophie and I won't feel bad about it. "I've got to go Spencer. I need to go kick some fucking ass over at Sigma Nu. I'll talk to you laters."

Sophie's POV

God I can't stop thinking about Liam. I can't wait to see him again. My math project did not get well. I've been dreaming of traveling the world working in five star resorts since I was a little girl. I want to see the world. My Dad has been all over the world but how much of it has he ever really seen? He's always working. We're supposed to be putting together a proposed budget for a business. I thought it would be easy, but right now all I can think is how am I going to be able to travel the world with Liam. He's going to be a doctor. I'm sure he'll be a great doctor, but they don't travel. Do they? I gave up on the assignment and headed to the beach with Karen, who is head over heels in love with Jake. How could she be in love so fast? Really Sophie isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. As I am sitting on the beach trying to read my Sociology book I can't help but think of Dad again. What will he think about me dating Liam? He should be happy. Liam has always looked up to him. I couldn't help but laugh remembering Liam with that buzz cut in his black suit and dark shades dressed as my Dad for Halloween. Maybe I should tell him in person. Shit Sophie you're an adult now. Liam's a fantastic guy, with a good head on his shoulders, and an amazing family. Dad has always said that he just wants me happy, and Liam makes me happy. I need to see how Liam feels about it. It's getting late but Karen and I decided to stay for sunset, so I pull Liam's hoodie out of my bag. I still smells like him. I love that smell. I put it on and it's like he's with me. I can't wait to be in his arms again.
