The Sitter

Chapter: 22

We laid on a picnic blanket in Liam's bedroom. It was too cold and snowy for an actual picnic so we did the next best thing. We had just finished eating and he tucked his arms under my neck pulling me into him.

I planted a kiss on lips.

"I'm glad you came over today" he said

"I almost didn't. It's hard to keep up with this"

"How?"

"Well Chris is out of town so I can't use him and I can't use Liv. If I say I'm going to anyone else, she starts interrogating me"

"Why don't you just tell her"

"Are you crazy?" I said popping a grape in my mouth "You'll get fired, and she would never trust me again."

"I don't mind loosing my job over you"

"Its not just that" I sighed "She wouldn't understand. We're fine the way we are"

"It going to happen sooner or later"

"I prefer later"

He smiled at me.

It was still early around 1 o'clock when the snow started getting heavy.

"Damn" he said starring out the window "Maybe I should get you home"

I pouted.

"Its fine. Its not gonna get that bad" I said planting a kiss on his cheek. He smiled and pulled me into his arms.

"I'm gonna shower" he said pulling his shirt off

"Mind I join you ?"

"Of course not" He grabbed my legs and threw me over his shoulder.

After the shower we ended up falling asleep on his bed. When I woke up, it was 6:45. I looked to the side of me and noticed Liam was gone. I wen't downstairs and found him looking out of a curtain.

I stood next to him and my mouth dropped open. The snow came up so high, you couldn't even walk in it.

He turned on the television to the news.

"Snow has already reached 12 inches and more is to come throughout the afternoon. Everyone is advised to stay right where they are. This is very dangerous and it will take hours for the snow to calm down"

"How are you supposed to get home" he sighed

I pulled my phone from my back pocket and saw texts and calls from my mom. I called her back.

"Mel where are you. I've been calling you and texting you for hours. Why aren't you home?"

"I got stuck in the snow and couldn't make it home. But I realized Liam's house was near so I went there"

She sighed in relief.

"You could have at least called"

"I know, I'm sorry"

"When this snow stops come home as soon as possible"

"Don't worry I will" I said hanging up.

"She bought it" I said smiling to him.

"My parents just texted. Their stuck at work."

"Looks like we've got the place to ourselves a little longer" I smiled.

"I wonder what we should do" he said pulling me closer.

We started kissing. He was in the process of pulling my shirt off when the power went out.

"Oh shit" I heard him say under his breath

He went and found as many candles as he could and set them up around the house. We stayed in his room and watched the snow fall under a blanket.

He got up to use the bathroom when I felt his phone vibrate near me. I looked and it and saw the name Miranda multiple times texting him.

Miranda was his ex. The one I vomited all over at the christmas party.

He came back underneath the blanket with me. I was debating on whether to ask him about him. I decided to.

"Miranda was texting you while you were gone" I said casually.

"Oh" he said grabbing his phone

"Is something wrong?" i asked

"She just wanted to see if I was ok" he said

I nodded. "So you guys still talk?"

"Barely" he answered

"Oh"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, why would there be a problem?"

"I know you have something to say so just say it"

"Its just I'm surprised that you guys speak even after what happened with us"

He rolled his eyes. "Here we go" he said.

"What does that mean?"

"There is no reason to be jealous"

"I'm not jealous, I just find this hard to believe"

"You know what I find hard to believe? That you and your ex are best friends. But do I ever bring it up"

"Its not the same thing. Chris has no feelings for me but Miranda can snatch you up anytime she wants"

"Oh I see. You think I'm a dog and that I would do that to you"

"I trust you. Its her I don't trust"

"Why are girls so envious over other girls?"

"Envious?" i said offended

"Why are you so intimidated? Is it her looks? Or is because you can't get over the fact that she had me first?

I got quiet.

I walked out of his room and headed downstairs. I pulled on my jacket and my uggs. I put my hood on and went outside.

"Where are you going?" he said grabbing me.

"Get off of me" I pulled away.

The snow came up to my knees. I made it to the street where the snow wasn't as high.

He yelled from the door "Yea go ahead, freeze to death"
