Fifty-Nine

Three years later...

Isabel

Three years have passed, more than a thousand days...

Liam and I are still together... I still have my house but I spend most of my days at his.

I have adapted to his lifestyle... we work all day, go to the gym and workout together, I cook healthier meals for him and I am somehow getting addicted to this pattern.

We spend our mid-week nights at home; on weekends, we go out or take mini vacations somewhere close.

In summers, we go to his house in Malaga in Spain with the gang and it is the most wonderful time among all other times.

Liam is so easy, our relationship is light... I just love what we have.

I don't know if I am ready to take the next step; whether moving in or engagement... what we currently have is just perfect.

Harold had his operation... it was the hardest heart transplant but it succeeded and now he is as good as new... the doctors keep him under surveillance because any glitch can be fatal.

Liam and Harold's relationship is amazing; Liam finally forgave his dad and himself.

Louisa is still the same, the most beautiful and poise woman in history... we have a beautiful relationship.

Grammy keeps asking when Liam will propose to get her few great grandchildren... Pops on the other hand, is getting a little older but he is still the funniest and most romantic person.

Jess and Kendal got so drunk last summer in Malaga... and well, they are expecting a baby now.

Oh! He proposed and she said yes but they are waiting until she gets back in shape.

Nicky is still on and off in her mystery relationship... "When I am sure he is the right person you will meet him..." is her constant answer to our continuous nagging... tonight might be the night she finally unravels him... let's hope they don't break up by then.

Zach took my place at work and is now the Purchasing Manager. Well I am the Managing Partner/COO now.

Dad came to visit me few times in the city; he has this love/hate relationship with it. He hates it because of mom but loves it because of me.

Mom... she tried to contact me few times. I even had coffee dates with her... I don't know if I have forgiven her yet, but at least I am trying...

I am the cover of every magazine now, I don't know whether I love the fame or not... it is just too consuming of my energy and privacy... it's just not for me... but it is also a sign that I am doing good at what I love so I embrace it with open heart.

Adam... I haven't seen him since I can't remember when... well, except on the CCTV of the workshop that Zach and I opened. Needless to mention, it is the most important workshop in the city now. Liam keeps on saying that he wants to meet the owner but all three owners cannot meet him... I cannot allow it. I will just have to keep on stalling this meeting.

Adam... he is still the same badass; bearded face, longer hair with his blond hues at the top. The tank tops he wear to work show how his tattoos have most of his skin now. Our tattoo remains to remind us of the good thing we had. His eyes... are sad he is angry most of the time and I cannot but blame myself...

But I just can't face him... I don't know what I would say or do... I can't handle it.

Walking through a nearby park, looking at the ground, watching my stilettos crashing the yellow leaves of fall... a cream cheese bagel in my hand, I go take a seat on a nearby bench and I blankly watch people going through me... I watch kids playing and mothers going crazy.
