4. Almost
"I can't believe you took me all the way back here to have pizza," I said softly grinning at Liam.
"I wanted to spend time with you. Afterall Ridge has been missing and I wanted to let you know I still cared," Liam says putting the down on his coffee table.
"Being at this beach house makes me so sad," I said looking around slowly. This was almost my home.
"Because of Aspen,"he whispered.
"I know we were almost parents," I said walking into the kitchen. I leaned my head down my dark hair suddenly falling in my face.
"Steffy, I know you did not want to hurt our baby," Liam says taking me into his arms.
"But I did. Then I hurt you. Sending you away to Hope," I whispered taking a deep breath.
"I wish you hadn't of done that. What we had was to rare to just let go. You should have stayed here," Liam says slowly placing his lips to mine.
I closed my eyes kissing Liam back there are no words needed now. It's just me and Liam, in our own secret world.
"I know, Liam. That will always be my biggest regret," I said when Liam's soft lips left mine.
"You know what mine is?"
"No," I said in a voice so soft he could barely hear me.
"Letting you go that day you told me you could have children. I should have left with you instead of staying to marry Hope,"Liam said clearly.
"You are only saying that because she is dating Wyatt now," I said feeling hurt.
Liam knew how much I loved him and still did. Why did he have to kiss me again? Why did ha have to make me still want him?
Did Liam just need me to love him?
"No Steffy, I am only saying it because it's the truth. I should have told Hope to stay out of our lives. If I had you wouldn't have fought with Hope the day of the accident, and you would have never gotten on that motorcycle. It's my fault we don't have Aspen and we aren't together," Liam said pulling me into his arms.
"Liam don't say that," I said knowing there was so truth to that statement. Hope was always in the middle of our relationship. Adding unneeded stressed to my Liam would not have let her think there was a chance maybe she would have backed off.
"The way Hope went after me. Right after we lost the baby. That was wrong. Hope is selfish and immature. She is nothing like you," Liam said.
"What are you saying?"
"I still love you Steffy. Never stopped," Liam said his eyes locked with mind.
"I think we should eat this pizza before it gets cold,"I said walking into the kitchen to get plates.
