Stacey's Pov
It's been four years 2 months and five days since I last seen Liam. I haven't had a phonecall, a letter or even a fucking postcard.. Nothing.
It's my birthday and I'm waiting with my phone for him to call like I have every year on key dates but still.. Nothing! He's beginning to piss me off and he won't like me very much..
Trent dissappeared on me too. It's been a little over a year since I heard from him and I'm beginning to think something bad might have happened.
It's my 26th birthday and I'm still living in my apartment and have my bakery. So I'm thriving like he asked and I have moved on with Victor. Kind of..
We're not happy, because I still want my king. I won't settle for less.. but, another thing.. I'm pregnant.
"Babygirl, seriously.. You do this ever year on your birthday. Get over him already you need to take the ring off as well" Victor tells me and I just stare at him. This again.. ugly specimen.
"I will never take the ring off Victor. Get over it already!" I tell him and he sighs looking me over..
"Shall we go out now?" he asks as the plan was to go for dinner with Sian and Kai, yet like every birthday I don't want to celebrate another year without him. I miss him. So fucking much!
"Let's just leave" I tell him walking out the bakery waiting to lock up.
I climb into Victor's car and he makes the sure journey towards the restaurant where I climb out immediately wanting to see Sian not being bother to wait for Victor.
Sian is my savour, she's still rooting for Liam and I even though I'm pregnant with Victor's baby.
"Hey babes, how you both doing?" Sian asks me and I sigh.
"I'm okay babe, how are you three doing" I ask her smiling, rubbing her massive bump.
"Can't wait to be me again" she says and I chuckle. Bless her she's having twins and she already has a three year old boy - Leighton. He's Kai's double as well.
"I'm starving can we go eat now?" she says and I nod eagerly wanting some chicken..
***
Sitting eating my food, I look at Sian and Kai happily in love with envy. I want my baby. I want to be held and carrying Liam's baby not Victor's. How did this get so wrong? I zone out from the guys talking about work and Sian sits there stuffing her face and I feel alone. All I think is where is he now? Is he safe? Why's it so hard for me to give up on the past. I want things to be how they used to be.
"Are we getting dessert babygirl?" I hear Victor ask and I just want to punch him in the throat every time he says it. I gave up a long time ago telling him because he won't listen. Like I told him I'm not, nor ever will be his baby girl again. Same way, I will never take off my ring..
I just look around the restaurant and I swear I seen Liam but I shake my head. It's just wishful thinking Stacey.
"I'm not bother Victor, I just feel like going home" I tell him and he sighs.
"You're still letting him ruin your life, he don't care about you and you're here acting like this" he says and I glare at him. I know Liam loves me.. obsessed with me. He set me free because he thought I'd be better off. This isn't better off!
"You should be grateful I'm carrying your baby" I tell him pissed and grab my purse getting up.
"I'll call you soon babe" I tell Sian and leave. I hear Victor call out for me and I flip him my middle finger. I'm not in the mood for him.
***
Arriving back at my apartment, I step into the elevator and I'm hit by the smell of Liam. My baby's been here and I missed him, fuck!
I'm consumed by his scent for about thirty seconds and the doors open and I see flowers on my door step with a envelope sticking out the top of the bouquet. Grabbing them, I pull my keys out and make my way inside kicking the door closed. I place the flowers on the kitchen table and gp drop onto the sofa. Opening the envelope, I pull out the paper and see Liam's handwriting.. ohmygod! I miss you baby.
Hello beautiful,
I sit outside your front door writing this letter so happy that you are happy baby. I watched you leave and you looked perfect like you always do. I've missed you so fucking much.
Congratulations my queen, you're going to be an amazing mum, I'm so proud of you. Also happy birthday beautiful, I never stop thinking about you. I won't lie it hurts that you moved on, but I'm happy that you did rather than waiting around for me. Now I see that your truly happy and having a baby I'm going to move on.. well try. I hope one day in the future if you see me you can be proud of the man I've become too. I love you Stacey Johnson. Yours Always and Forever.
Liam XxXx
I sit there bawling my eyes out and I can't stop. He was here and I fucking missed him. How could he think I'm happy.. I'm alone and fucking pregnant!
My baby's hurting thinking I've moved on when I haven't. Fuck, I need to find him. I jump up grabbing my purse as I hear the elavator. I open my door and step out closing it behind me seeing Victor. I lock it and walk to him sighing. This is my sad life..
"What are you doing up here Victor!" I ask him irritated. He knows better.
"I came to check on you babygirl, come on, let's go inside" he says and I laugh.
"You're not going in there, how many fucking times do I need to tell you. And call me baby girl one more time and I swear to god, I'll fucking end you.. understand?" I spit at him fuming and he just sighs.
"Understood baby.. Stacey" he empathises and I nod turning and unlock my door then close it on him. I need to find Liam but where do I even start?
