Work ended and I ran home, well to the unoccupied apartment next door and climb up to our room. Well the sitting room where Liam and I usually meet. Brought cheese, apples, and crackers his favorite snack. I wait for him and he appears.
"Lily, might I presume that your 20 years old and still waiting for me everyday!" He said.
"Hello to you to Liam and yes, you know you're technically 20 too!" I shoot back.
"Nope I died when I was 18 so technically I'm still 18!" He came back.
Wow! He's better at this than I thought! I really suck at comebacks! I should improve though because I'm the best detective nationwide and a library owner, in fact Liam's library!
"Your library's doing wonderful, just saying😊, and I don't think of you as dead, I think of you as not fully alive." I stated.
"Lillian White, you are the most stubborn person on the face of the planet! Anyway that would make me a zombie." Liam argued.
"It never was never will be Lillian, it was always Lily!" I claimed.
"It is not true, I checked your birth certificate this morning." He said.
"Darn you Liam, you're lucky you are already dead!" I yelled.
He sat next to me and said, "You love me to though, that is why you visit me everyday after the library." He purred.
"Yes Liam James Linden 'I love you till death do us part'!" I joked.
"Not true because I am dea-" he started.
"Not fully alive." I fixed.
"It is still not true becauseI'vealreadydied!" He blurted.
"Like you said Liam, you're lucky I love you." I stated.
And with that he walked over to me sat down and kissed me on the cheek. I gushed, got up, grabbed my stuff and left without a word.

Today Liam and I take a stroll through the courtyards at the apartments. We do idle chit chatting and then he brings up the question.
"Lily if I proposed to you, would you still marry me if I was a ghost?" He asked.
I stopped dead (hahahaha😉) in my tracks and broke down. I started crying so hard. Liam was horrified and was immediately at my side apologizing as if he almost killed me (another joke). All of a sudden I was furious for breaking down. Daniel Rackford ran up to me and said "Babe are you alright?!" He asked.
I turned and looked at Liam he was almost glowing red. "Who is this?!" Liam gritted through his teeth.
"Daniel," I kinda answered both questions. "I'm alright I just tripped and hurt my ankle really bad." I finished.
After Daniel had my ankle wrapped with ice put on top, he left to go get dinner. Liam who acted as if he watched his death flash before his eyes (haha), stomped up making no noise at all and practically shouted "Who I the world is that? Like I asked earlier." He said.
I gulped, I didn't want to come down to this. "His name is Daniel Rackford and he is-he is-heismyboyfriend!" I squirmed out.
"WHAT!" he shouted. "I thought I was your boyfriend!" He finished.
"But you're dead" I choked.
"Now you say I'm dead!" He spat.
"Liam, I want to get married and have children someday!" I cried.
"Apparently I'm not qualified!" He was glowing a very bright red.
"We can't be officially married and last time I checked a ghost and a human can't have sex!" I screamed under chokes.
"Lily, I'm sorry but I'm starting to think you didn't mean the I love you's." He choked.
"No Liam, I'll make it up to you, I promise." I cried harder.
I looked up and Liam was gone, I sighed. For all I know he will throw a ghost tantrum. I got up and took all of my expensive China, picture frames, etc. and put them in the the special safe I got just for his tantrums. And again of all timings Daniel walks in.
"What in the world are you doing Lily?" He asked.
"That Daniel, is non of your business, so anyway I need to talk to you." I replied.
He hopped on the couch and sighed. "What's up babe."
"It's over, we're done, get out of my house, goodbye forever." I simply said.
"WHAT! No you don't decide when we break up, I do! We are still together and that's it!" He screamed.
"No, goodbye Daniel." She said.
Daniel then angrily stomped out of the house, I sighed, and went into my secret room preparing for Liam's tantrum. But it never came. "Liam?" I called out.
"Yes, my love?" He whispered.
"I love you." I said as I found him and snuggled against him.
"I love you too, Lillian." He purred.
He stroke my head and I fell asleep in his arms.
