***Liam's POV***
"Hi Liam." I am just standing there frozen. I can't believe Carly is standing here in front of me. I want to so badly to grab her arm and pull her towards me and kiss her. I take a step towards her, but she takes a step back. I stop and put my hands up. I can tall Carly is trying not to cry, but I can see the tears falling down her cheeks. "Carly..." "I can tell you don't want me here, so I'm just going to grab my suitcase and leave you alone." Carly spins around on her heels and runs back into the guest room. I run after her and when she reaches for her suitcase I grab her hand. Carly freezes and I spin her around so she is facing me now. I look into her eyes and they are glassy. I wipe her tears away with my thumbs. I feel the electrifying feeling shoot through my body. Carly's knees are starting to wobble so I quickly pick her up and place her on the bed. I will be so busted if my mum walks in. I'm hovering over Carly and she is just staring at me. I have to say something, so she will stay. "Carly, I want you here. I was a dumbass for running away from the problem." Carly smiles. "Liam, you are a dumbass." I laugh. "Yes, I am." "Liam, can you promise me you won't run away when something bad happens again?" I just stare into Carly's blue eyes and I knew from that moment I will never run away again. "I promise." "Good." I smile at her and I bend down and press my lips to hers. I can stay like this for eternity, but there is a knock on the door. I get off Carly and I pull her off the bed. I walk to the door hand in hand with Carly and I open the door. Standing there is our maid Greta. I smile at her and she gives me a smile also. "Mr. Payne dinner is ready." "Thank you, Greta." I tug on Carly's hand and pull her into the hallway. Once we get into the dining room where everyone is seated I drop Carly's hand. I pull out a chair for Carly to sit down. When she sits down I kiss her cheek and take the seat next to her. I take her hand instantly and hold it on my leg. I glance over at her and she is turning red. I smirk to myself. The cook puts a plate in front of us and I glance at Carly to see her reaction. She quickly looks over at me with a confused look. I lean over so I can whisper in her ear. "I haven't had a home cooked meal since I moved in with you. So this is my favorite meal." Carly looks back at her plate and she leans over so she can whisper in my ear. "Same here." "Wait I thought your favorite was Joan's pizza?" "That's my favorite pizza, but I love salmon." I turn my head so I am looking over at her and I smile. Carly smiles at me and I turn back to the food when I hear my mum clear her throat. I have to let go of Carly's hand so I can eat, but I can see the disappointment in her face. I smirk to myself again. "Carly it's really lovely to have you here. Since Liam came back this was the first time he actually smiled." I turn to my mum and I glare at her. I can hear snickering coming from Carly. I turn to her and she is trying so hard not to laugh. "You think that's funny?" "Actually yes." Carly is giving me a cheesy grin and I just want to kiss her so bad. I don't even notice she ate everything on her plate. Damn she must have been hungry. I finish my food and I grab Carly's hand and pull her out of the chair. Carly gives me a questioning look. "Liam where are we going?" "Somewhere private." I smirk at Carly and she right away blushes. We walk out the dining room and we keep walking until we come to a door that leads to the backyard. I open the door and let Carly walk out first. She is amazed when she sees how huge the yard is. Carly turns to me and just smiles. "Why are we out here?" "I wanted us to be alone..." "For?" "...so I can give you this." I let go of Carly's hand so I can fish out the ring in my pocket. When I pull it out I hear Carly gasp. "Liam..." "I wanted to make this engagement real." "Liam it was real since the very beginning when our parents told us we were having an arranged marriage." I smile at her and slip the ring on her finger. Carly is the one that kisses me and I am taken aback by it. When she pulls away I am still smiling. "Now let's go back inside. I bet you're exhausted from that long flight." "Actually I am. And I have to make a phone call." Carly grabs my hand and we are gonna walk back inside, but I pull her to stop. Carly faces me confused. "Tell me you're not gonna call Dylan?" Carly smiles. "I'm not. I'm gonna call Abby." "Oh." Carly's smile fades. "Carly what's wrong?" "I hate how I'm losing friends." Carly drops my hand and turns away so I can't see her cry. "If this is about Dylan kissing you..." I really don't know what to say. Dylan was one of her best friends and now he practically ruined their friendship over a kiss; which I'm still mad at him for pulling that stunt. "Carly, please look at me." Carly faces me and her eyes are glassy again. I let out a sigh and touch her cheek with the back of my hand. "Carly whatever I say you don't want to hear it, so I'm not going to say it." "I know what you're gonna say and you have every right to say it. It was wrong for Dylan to kiss me. And it's his loss, because he lost a very good friend." "Yeah that's pretty much what I was gonna say." Carly laughs through her sobs and I pull her in for a hug. "Liam can we really go back inside? I'm getting tired. I will just have to call Abby tomorrow." I pull away and grab her hand so we can walk back inside. Carly wipes away her tears and we walk the whole way up to our rooms before I let go of her hand. When we are outside of her room Carly turns to face me and we just stare at each other not saying anything. "Carly you should really get to bed." "I know, but I won't sleep unless..." "Are you asking me to sleep with you?" I smirk at her. "Geez Liam. Stop doing that." She is blushing. "Stop what?" "That!" "It's called smirking." "I know what it's called Mr. Einstein." "Oh are you making fun of me now?" "Yes, yes I am." "That's it." I quickly pick her up and carry her into her room and plop her on the bed. Carly is laughing and I am enjoying her laugh. I don't hear it often. When Carly looks up at me, I'm smiling at her. I pull my shirt over my head and throw it on the floor. "Liam what are you doing?" "Sleeping with you." I smirk at her.
