Until There Was You

Liam

Chapter 10

*Liam*

God what have I done? I am such a dickhead! When she said she wanted to go home my mind jumped to the conclusion she wanted to leave me, to go back to him and I flipped. Fuck I didn't even let her explain, she looked so scared of me, she must know I would never hurt her. I mean I understand we haven't known each other long but for fucks sake, we made love a few hours ago.

I have to talk to her, apologize. Hell I will beg if I need to, I can't believe I have screwed up already. Its like I can never get it right with her.

'Lexi' I say as I tap on the bathroom door. I can hear her crying through the door and I have never hated myself as much as I do now.

'Lexi please, come out so I can explain.' Yeah like you let her my mind sneers at me. I was about to knock again when my Mothers voice shatters my ear drums. I do not need this right now!

'Liam Landon Coltan i need to speak with you now!' Oh great my full name this can't be good, what have I done now?

'Now is not a good time Mother.' The irritation clear in my tone.

'Boy I am your Mother, what on gods green earth could be more important?' She snaps arms folded all 5 foot 1 of her trying to appear intimidating. It works, normally nobody can manage to unnerve me. However the formidable Rose Coltan manages every time. However right now Lexi is slipping through my fingers and that thought was more scary.

'Mother please, whatever it is it can wait right now.' I respond praying that she will just leave, but I should of known better. It's like poking a bear.

'I had poor Mellissa on the phone crying her heart out, telling me how my only son cheated on her and had the damn cheek to bad mouth the woman who gave him life.' Her voice rising at the end.

'Firstly, its not cheating if your single. Secondly, nothing happened with Alexis before she came barging into MY house. Thirdly, did you or did you not tell 'poor' Mellissa I wanted to marry her?' I yell back 'Somebody is a liar here, and it isn't me!'

'I thought you would come to your senses by now and realize what a beautiful, well mannered, bright young woman she is. You could do a lot worse and it is about time you act your age and settle down Liam.' She states not even fazed as i stare back in horror.

'For your information I am settling down Mother.' I say before I can stop myself, she looks at me in shock then her eyes narrow in suspicion.

'Please don't tell me its that tramp Mellissa caught you with yesterday.' She scoffs then when I don't answer she glares at me. 

'Liam so help me god I will not expect you marrying some money grabbing whore and ruining this families good name for crying out loud. How can you be so stupid? Think about my image here, how would it look on me.....and your family.' She pleads.

I just stand there my mouth opening and closing as words fail me. She can't be serious but one look at her face tells me she most certainly is. I can't decide if I am more angry or insulted. How dare she call Lexi them dreadful things, she has never even met her i fume.

'Leave' I say coldly as I point to the door to emphasize my point.

'Excuse me?' She looks so hurt but i can't seem to care at this moment in time.

'You heard me, leave now. I will not have you stand there and slate the most amazing girl i have ever met, when you haven't had the opportunity to yourself yet you still judge her.'

'You will regret this Son, you just wait. I don't need to meet her I have met all your other 'girlfriends' and i can guess she won't be any different. Good in the sack, bad on the bank balance.' With them words she storms out before I can respond.
