21: The Not-So Lovely Tale of Four Days Remaining

🎁 Blake Christian – Dec. 21, 2014 

   Liam blinked at me in surprise. “You’re not mad?”

   “No.” I shake my head and stand up, my hand rubbing his arm, he was still cold from outside. “The past is the past. Besides, I would’ve never slept with you I’m not that type of girl.”

   “That sounds like a challenge,” Liam muses, his eyebrows rising as his hands place themselves onto my hips. I smile, not because of his statement but because that smile was back and gosh did I adore it so much. I roll my eyes at him. “I’m joking. But honestly, I’m glad that I fell fast because then I wouldn’t be experiencing what I am right now with you, complete and utter bliss.”

   “You are so cheesy that it’s not even funny,” I comment making him pinch my sides. I yelp in surprise before slapping his chest. “Don’t do that ever again.”

   “You know, I have yet to figure out if you’re ticklish…” He trails off, a smirk growing on his lips. My eyes widen slightly before I squirm out of his grasp, quickly running towards the stall and locking it. “Oh, babe, you act like a locked door will keep me away. That’s cute.”

   Before I knew it, Liam did exactly what I did the other day by entering the stall next to my own and crawling into it no doubt startling me. Now I know how he felt. He gave me a smirk and backed me up against the back of the stall. He grasped both of my hands in his left hand before using his right to tickle me. I was raked with unbearable laughter that Liam couldn’t help but laugh as well.

   “I’ll stop if you admit that you would’ve totally slept with me,” Liam says as his fingers continue to dig into my sides. I shake my head in protest, trying to wrench my hands free from his hand. Next thing I knew, I was on the floor with Liam hovering over me and his lips on mine. He had released my hands so that he could place his own on either side of my head. My arms were spread out on the floor, completely exhausted from trying to get out of Liam’s grasp. He pulls away for a brief moment, “This isn’t over.”

   He starts tickling me again.

   The next morning I wake up with my stomach sore and a terrible head ache. I decided to call in sick to work, but not before calling Liam up and telling him that I actually didn’t feel well, during that call I had realized that there were four days left of this job at the mall. Christmas wouldn’t last forever, of course I knew that, but right now it was kind of a slap to the face because only four days are left of the job that I had hated in the beginning was now one that I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to.

   Fate had given me a couple pills, and had asked if I needed anything from the store – we were running low on groceries – that’s when I asked her for a couple things I’d need for Liam’s Christmas gift. She simply muttered ‘clingy’ before walking out the door with the promise of getting those things. I spent the rest of my time watching television when I got a knock on my door.

   Liam had come straight from work to visit me. He grinned at the sight of my Christmas pajama pants and Coldplay t-shirt.  “You still look beautiful even when you’re feeling like crap.”

   I didn’t even reply to his cheesy remark instead, I gave him a huge hug and held onto him tightly. Four days left. What then? I’d have to get a new job, Liam will get a new job and that will just be strange and I didn’t like to think of myself as clingy but right now, I thought about the fact that I’d probably not see him every day like I have been and that thought was completely unbearable.

(A/N): okay, wow, there are only four days till Christmas! Meaning only four more days of Santa and the Elf, btw I had said this story will go on until the 30th but I found it a bit pointless to do so. However, there might be an epilogue which will tell you of how things went or are going between Blake and Liam. Might. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this because it is winding down meaning the final chapters will be nothing but fluff and that’d what we’ve all been waiting for.

Please vote, fan, comment – step on a shrimp because seafood is disgusting.

P.S. more fan art because I can plus, this one had LiLi as Santa and it fits so x
