7. Only you
"You still love me?" Liam asked his brown eyes glowing. Looking around the room, I could see everyone standing around. Yet it felt like it was only Liam and I.
I was supposed to be back in LA for my dad, not Liam. What was I getting myself into?
"Yes, but I need the real thing. Someone who wants only me," I said walking out of my grandfather's house.
I could hear Liam following me, but I continue walking. I should go back inside. Find Thomas to drive me back to the airport.
"Steffy, damn it," I heard Liam saying behind me.
"What do you want from Liam?" I yelled.
Why couldn't he just let me be?
"You are all I want, Steffy. I only want to be with you. Have a life with you and start our family," he said pulling into me into his embrace. I could feel his strong arms move up and down on my hips.
"No. You don't. I came to stop your wedding to Hope, but you wanted her. A family with Hope. Not me. I can't live my life wondering if you are thinking about her," I said coldly moving away from his embrace.
"Steffy, I was wrong. So damn wrong. I was scared. Hope has been like a security blanket to me and I was afriad to let go," his brown eyes stared into mine.
"Don't say something you don't mean," I said tears falling on my face.
"I mean this Steffy. I could never think about Hope when I am with you. She does not even compare to you. I love how fesity you are, how you make me a better man, and how you challenge me. I want to spend forever with you. Only you, Steffy," Liam said pressing his lips against mine. I return his kiss getting lost in his embrace.
How could this man make me come undone? I could never control myself around him.
"Only me?" I whispered into his ear.
"Only you Steffy. Marry me?"
"Marry you? But I am going back to Paris," I said looking into his brown eyes.
"Then I am going with you," Liam said forcefully. This wasn't a question.
"But what about your job Spencer Publications? Your father needs you there," I said softly.
"No, Steffy. My father will be just fine. Hell, he can give Wyatt my job for all I care. None of that matters. I want to move forward with my life. Stop looking back. Noone here needs me more than I need to be with you," he says softly putting his hand on my face.
"Yes, I'll marry you Liam," I said finally kissing his lips. I couldn't live my life in fear anymore. I had to give Liam another chance. I love him to much not too, I decided.
