Richard and Giulia had always been together, right from their 5 years old selves met for the first time. They were stuck together through orphanage, school, and college. Through every hardship and through every celebration, being each other's suppor...
What is wrong with him? He never bothered before, so why now? Is he jealous? No, that cannot be. Maybe he is just concerned...ya that would be the reason. I don't find any other reason for him to behave like this.
"Hey, good morning beautiful" I felt Liam stir behind me. He came late from the club and dozed off in a blink.
"Coffee?" He asked in his sleep laced voice.
"Hmm" I affirmed. Coffee is what I need desperately right now.
The whole night I was thinking about Richard, the way he behaved last night. I never thought he would come around and start taking an interest in my life. We were best friends, and he was the love of my life. yes, he was or still is in some corner of my heart. As they say, first love is difficult to forget. I loved him even before I understood the meaning of love. For me, it was just him. I had dreamt of having a family and getting old together. I was so naïve that it never crossed my mind that he had other plans, that he never shared that dream with me, that I was just a friend to him.
It was my mistake. I took things for granted. He had the right to choose. It would have not hurt me so badly if he had loved someone else but Erna? That slut? We last fought because of her. The words he spoke broke my heart, shattered it and ruined it to love again.
I was in a state of depression. It took me long to come out and move on. To unlove him. Viktor always insisted on telling him about my feelings and about Richie's stupidity, but I never wanted him to know about it. I wanted him to feel and realize my emotions and if he can't, which obviously he didn't, then there is no point in a forced relationship.
If Saba and Bro had not been there, I would still be in the same state. And off course Liam, he came as a sunrise in my doomed sulking dark sky.
I still remember the first time I met him.
Flashback
It had been a year since my fight with Richard and one year since I had talked to him. There was still this longing ache in my heart, but I was used to it now. I was still madly in love with him, and I hated myself for that. I had moved out of our house, living with Saba had helped me to get myself over him.
"Let's go out today." Saba spoke enthusiastically, entering my dimly lit room.
"I am not in mood, Saba."
"You are never in the mood, so it hardly matters. You are coming and that's it. Alex will be here in half an hour to pick us up." Alex is Saba's boyfriend.
"Sabaaa...." I whined
"Don't Saba me. You are not gonna waste your beautiful young years for him. You are 23 Lia, start living, date some handsome guys, have fun..."
"Ok fine, I am coming, don't start with that now." I sighed.
"Great, that's like my girl, wear something sensual and sexy. Get your confidence and life back. Come on, girl, show those men what you have."
And I did exactly that, I wore a red corset dress with flare and saba wore red sequence dress that hugged her body. I was gonna dance till my feet ache will numb my heartache, and I am gonna drink until I puke out all his memories. Richard you better get out of my life, my heart, my system and my brains

Soon I was dancing on the floor like crazy to the loud music. Alcohol in my system was compelling me to empty my bladder. I made my way to the restroom to make space for more drinks.
As I came out, a hand pulled me by the waist and pinned me to a nearby wall. A filthy stretch invaded my nostrils, making me scrunch my nose. A huge, bulky body pressed over me. What the fuck?
"Want to have some fun?" He slurred near my ear.
"Sure..." I said, and that made him look at me with lust. He gave a toothy, disgusting grin. This guy was so unattractive, with black greasy hair and blue leather jacket. Yuck! "But definitely not with your filthy self" I completed my sentence. He punched the wall beside my head.
"You don't have any other option, baby girl." He threatened me, Before I could show him his place. I heard someone near us.
"Is there a problem here?" A guy came towards us looking concerned. The corridor was dark with small yellow light, but I could see him. Now you call this kind of man handsome, not the one I was pressed with. As he came near I saw his gray eyes focused on me. He was wearing a simple black shirt and blue jeans. His dirty blonde hair were combed nearly.
"Nothing I can't handle." I as him with a smile and kneed the guy in his jewels and he slumped down. I punched his face hard, making him fly off and collide with the floor.
"WOAH! That was something. Where did you learn that?" He asked with amusement.
"My brother, he, is of the opinion that every girl should know self defense." I answered, brushing my knuckles.
"Wow, amazing family I suppose, Liam Cooper. He said, extending his hand towards me.
A hot steaming coffee came in front of me as I sat cross-legged on the bed. Liam sat beside me.
"Where are you lost" he asked as I took the cup from his hand.
"The day we met." I said, smiling at him. He looked so handsome with his hair messed up and grey eyes shining bright.
"Oh! I am so happy. I went to that club that day." He caressed my cheeks with his thumb.
"Me too" we sat there quiet, enjoying the coffee and morning light that beamed in our bedroom. He took the empty cup from my hand and went towards the door.
"Lamy pammy" I pouted and stretched my hands towards him to carry me. He placed the empty cups on the console and came back to me.
He chuckled but picked me up like a baby, I wrapped my arms and legs around him clinging like a koala bear, absorbing the warmth and security his arms provided.
"How about we take a shower together?" He suggested, moving towards the bathroom door, I nodded, resting my head on his shoulder.
This is my life now, and Liam is my future. I am the luckiest girl to have found love after Richard.
"I love you" he whispered, and I tightened myself more around him.
