Ellie Taylor was a shy twenty-five year old girl who didn't know what to do with her life. Her parents had recently passed away, leaving Lottie to inherit a small country cottage house in the middle of nowhere; a far cry from her last few years spen...

I woke in sweats the next morning to hear Sophie chatting to someone downstairs; either that or she was having a full blown conversation with herself.
I wouldn't have been suprised if she were.
I lifted myself out of bed feeling the affects of the wine from last night. I hardly remember getting into bed last night, let alone undressing to put on my night dress. I threw on my silk dressing gown and made my way for the stairs.
"I know! It was terrible! And to think that he would cheat on me!" I hear Sophie recalling last night's events. She was standing at the front door using her hands to exaggerate every word, but I was still unable to see who she was talking to.
"Look, he's a knob head if he is gonna cheat on someone like you. He still fancies ya though. Trust me. Don't let him get to ya..."
I recognize that strong Mancunian accent anywhere.
It was Liam.

I reached the bottom step as he came into my sight and I came into his. He stood there gawking at me and for a moment I forgot that I was wearing my night clothes.
"Good morning, darlin" he blew me a kiss in jest.
"Hi" was all I could manage.
Sensing the awkwardness, Sophie spoke up. "Liam just popped around to make sure that we were ok after last night! Isn't that lovely, Ellie!" She forced a grin in my direction in hope that I would give her one back.
I froze, unable to form any sort of facial expression except fear. Why was he at my house acting like he gave a damn?
He stood in the doorway still staring at me in his awkward dark way, his eyes bright blue but gothic at the same time.
"We are just about to have breakfast if you would like to join us?" Sophie asked Liam.
What was wrong with this girl? Sometimes I wondered what it might be like if Sophie had her vocal chords removed!
"That would be good" he rubbed his hands together. "Im starving Marvin! That's if you dont mind, Ellie?" He gave me those evil eyes behind Sophie's back as they both stared at me awaiting an answer.
But before I could say anything, Sophie stepped. She was beginning to do that alot recently.
"Of course it's ok! Come on in!" She gestured toward the kitchen with her hand and just like that, Liam Gallagher was back in my house. A place he had not entered in over eight years for reasons I am not yet ready to discuss.
Liam walked through to the kitchen, passing me and giving me a cheeky grin. I stood merely shaking and still unable to move.
Why was it that every time he was around I felt so body-numbingly nervous?
Sophie and I followed him into the small kitchen where he took a seat at the small round pine table.
"Ellie will get you some tea. I'm just going for a quick shower" Sophie explained. My head spun so fast to face Sophie that I felt the room shake.
Surely she wasnt going to leave me alone in the kitchen with this man, was she?
With that, she ran upstairs and I stood at the kitchen doorway watching her exit and wishing more than ever that she would stay and chat for a bit longer.
"So, how about that cuppa" he relaxed back into the seat kicking his legs out on the tile floor in front of him.
Was this really happening?

Happy Christmas and thanks so much for all of your support so far guys🎄💕
