I woke up next to Liam smiling. I cocked my head sideways as if to tell him that don't understand.
"You never smile in your sleep, it's very odd." He replied as if knowing my question.
"Thank you for the information?" I said confused.
"Well a majority of the time you're awake you smile and then you sle-" he started.
"Do you not want to me to smile when I'm awake?" I implied.
"No, NEVER!." He said pouting acknowledging that he lost.
"Ok then, good morning" I smiled.
"Good morning." He mumbled.
We got up and ate breakfast. He brought a few things over from "his" place and but them in mine. I of course as I am was watching were he put things and he put a book in a secret slide I didn't know about by his side of the bed. Suddenly he came out declaring he had to go to his "job". Ok I didn't know ghosts had jobs but I replied with a simple "k" and let him leave. As soon as he walked off I ran to our room scrambling to get to the safe, my hands were twitching not knowing what it contained. I got the book out and the title read True Love? . What? I started flipping through the book to look at it realizing it was different stories about how paranormal people got humans to fall in love with them using charms and spells. How dare he! My love for him is true. But I guess if it didn't work he would've charmed me. I looked further into the book and found that it showed different ways to change humans into paranormal figures using love. Humph. I took a picture of the ghost one with my phone and I put the book in its slot and go back to cleaning the house. While I'm mopping, Liam walked back in.
"Hello my darling." He purred.
"Hello Hemsworth." I joke. (Used to be one of our favorite inside jokes😊)
"What has you in a happy mood today Lillian?" He asked.
"I finally had my coffee." I smiled.
"Oh" he said almost disappointed.
'All I'm doing is waiting for my plan to unhitch' I said in my head.
We sat in silence for the rest of the night, he went to bed and I told him I was going to movie night with Nelly. Not really I went to the library to research the ghost spell. I was reading about how most used their wedding day kiss I when you have a rose and Lily in your hand it will work. What? I guess the rose represents the human of being sinful and the white Lily for purity of a ghost. Ok I'll just keep my wedding bouquet simple with two flowers. He'll understand. I head home and delete the picture knowing what I have to do. I lay in bed telling Liam it was cancelled. He responded with a simple "ok". Tonight though Liam and I sleep on our own sides not touching at all.
"Goodnight" I whisper.
But I get nothing in return. I now know he finally drifting away.
