Chapter 27

My dad had left me and my family when I was 10 and only came to visit me and Austin every year, but stopped when I was 13. I haven't seen him ever since and this was the first time in 9 years.  

"I really don't know right now." I stated, leaning on his shoulder. He kissed my head and cradled me in his arms. "Lena, you know I love you right?" He asked, I looked up into his eyes, "Of course I do!" I gave him a kiss before going to my previous position.  

"That was a lot of fun! Thanks Liam I really needed that!" I pulled him close and gave him a kiss on his lips before preceding into my hotel room. "Hey, what about me?" Liam stuck his foot in the door, I spun around and smirked at him. "What about you?" I asked through the crack of the door. 

  "Aren't you going to let me in?" Liam asked quite confused. I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a smirk. "Come on Lena!" He begged, I finally gave in and we both sat on the couch watching the Hallmark channel.  

I felt the warmth of the sun on my face, I opened my eyes and was blinded by the light coming from the open curtain. CLANK! I jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen with one of my heels. I walked in and saw a guy with his back to me, he turned around and it was Liam.  

"Lena, babe, what are you doing?" He asked pulling the shoe from my hands. "I thought you were a burglar!" I stated grabbing a seat at the bar. "And if I was, what were you going to do? Stab me with the heel?" He laughed, I stuck out my tongue, and Liam did the same. 

  "On another topic! Are you excited for the premiere tonight?" I questioned grabbing a piece of watermelon. "Very! I can't wait for you to see it!" He gave me a kiss before going back to the stove.    "So what's for breakfast, chef?" I wrapped my hands around his waist, resting my head on his shoulder. "Your favorite! Mickey Mouse pancakes!" I smiled and kissed his cheek. 

  "Aw thanks babe! I'm going to go get a quick shower!" I announced before going back to the bedroom. I stripped off my clothes and stepped into the warm water. I let the water flow over my aching body. After 15 minutes I shut the water off and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my wet body.

  I pulled on a pair of light wash jeans, pink lace shirt, a pair of pink ballet flats and a bow tie necklace. I walked back into the kitchen to the smell of pancakes filling my noise. "Smells great babe!"

  I smiled grabbing a plate and piling Mickey Mouse pancakes onto it. "So when are your parents getting here?" I questioned as I stuffed my mouth with pancakes. "Um about 1 I think!" He answered pouring a glass of milk for both us.  

 I finished breakfast and was getting ready to go shopping with Kiely for the premiere. I grabbed my purse, but Liam's hand grabbed mine. "Babe I need to go get a dress!" I pleaded as I turned to him. He had a smirk plastered on his lips. "Can't you just stay in with me today?" He questioned pouting his lower lip out and giving me the puppy dog eyes.  

"I can't today! How about tomorrow!" I tried to make a compromise. A knock at the door interrupted our exchange. "Let me get that it might be Kiely!" I stated trying to wiggle out of his grip. I finally got out and went to the door and opened it.  

"Are you Lena Mahone?" The delivery guy asked, I nodded and turned to look back at Liam. "No please don't!" Liam exclaimed, I scrunched my eyebrows and Liam pointed. I turned back around and suddenly I hit the ground.
