Abi and Liam. “Warm Welcoming”
(Abi’s Point of View)
Liam drives our rented car closer and closer to his parent’s house. He reaches over to rest his hand on my knee giving it a squeeze.
I jump out of my trance. I really was dreading this trip, I really should have just stayed home. Ugh.
He laughs at my reaction. “What’s the matter, honey?” He asks.
I twirl the plastic ring on my finger. I sigh. “Your mother hates me.” I tell him.
He laughs again looking at me and then back at the road. “Why would you think that?” he answers with a question.
I grin and rub my plastic ring playfully in his face. “I married her only son! Without her there at that.” I remind him.
Liam shakes his head while rolling his eyes. “You’re silly. She knows you make me happy.” He tells me.
I blush. “Do I make you happy?” I ask as he pulls into their driveway.
He turns off the car and leans over to me. “Yes, you make me very happy.” he whispers before resting his lips on mine.
Smiling I kiss him back and rest my hands on his cheeks. He runs his tongue over my lower lip and I let him in. I lean my body closer to his and his hand runs under the hem of my shirt. He pulls back abruptly and kisses my forehead.
“You’re making me hard, got to stop that.” he says chuckling.
I pull away and laugh. “Why? We were just kissing.” I say.
He raises an eyebrow. “That’s all it takes.” he let me know.
Hahaha I would have to keep that in mine.

“So how have you guys been, Mr. and Mrs. Payne?” Karen asks with a hint of attitude in her voice.
My body stiffens and I take a quick drink of my water. “We’re fine, Mum.” Liam answers for the both of us.
My hands feel clammy and my knees shake a little. She really fucking hates me, doesn’t she?
Karen scoffs and goes back to her dinner. Geoff, Liam’s father had to work late. He was a lot nicer to me than Karen was.
Don’t get me wrong Karen was a good person, she just wasn’t too happy with me at the moment.
The phone ringing from the kitchen breaks out awkward silence. “I’ll be right back.” She tells us before excusing herself from the table.
As soon as she is out of sight Liam’s lips are on mine. It’s not one of those sweet comforting kisses but I want you here and now kisses. My hands automatically go to cup his face but I come to my senses and try to push him away.
He looks at me confused. “What’s wrong?” He asks at the same time I ask “What are you doing?” He laughs softly and leans in to kiss me again.
