It's Pretty Much Sunshine

Chapter 7

All I can think about as I lay in bed that night is Sophia. It makes me wonder. They have been together for like a year, why would he ask me to move to London with him? I'm finally able to somehow push the thoughts away and fall asleep.

The next morning I wake up to the sound of cabinets shutting down stairs and people talking. I look at my clock and it reads 12:13. I stretch my arms above my head as I yawn. I stand up and walk over to my dresser. I pull out a pink sweater and some leggings. I put them on, pull my hair into a messy bun, then pull my glasses on my face. I'm not taking the time to put in my contacts. I slowly walk down the stairs and stop about half way down. Sitting at the kitchen table is Liam... He notices me staring at him and he gets up to meet me. He goes to give me a hug just as I stick my hand out. I quickly pull my hand back and hug him. As we part I walk and sit in the seat next to where he was.

"Goodmoring Lexi" my mothers says smiling as she cooks breakfast. I just smile at her then look at Liam.

"So.. Um... How long have you been here?" I ask shyly. "Oh um not long" he laughs "maybe about 10 minutes" I look down at my hands in my lap "cool" I reply. I don't know what in the hell to say. Its awkward seeing him in person instead of behind a screen.

"So honey" my mother says sitting a plate in front of each, me and Liam. "Liam was telling me about you going with him. He was telling me how wonderful London is."

My mouth falls open as I look at Liam. "What?" Liam asks nervously. "Have you not told her? Oh my I'm sorry I thought she knew-" I cut him off "no no no Liam she knows I just I um I didn't expect you guys to talk about it.. That's all." I say. He doesn't reply, instead he smiles as he sticks a fork full of egg into his mouth. The rest of breakfast is spent in silence. All you heard was the sound of forks hitting plates. When I finished I put mine and Liam's empty plates into the sink.

"Can we talk?" I finally work up the nerve to ask Liam. "Yeah of course" he says looking kind of nervous. I lead him up to my room and shut the door as he sits on the bed. I decide to sit next to him.

"So.. Um... About London.." I say picking at the skin around my fingers. "Oh.. Did you change your mind? Do you not want to go? I really thought we were going somewhere. I'm sorry I shouldn't have rushed things so much. I'm sorry." He rushes his apologies out put I stop him by putting my hand on his. "No Liam" I saying looking into his deep brown eyes. "I am going". A huge smiles spreads across his faces as he pulls me into an embrace. When we pull away he says "Thank you Lexi you won't regret this I promise." I just hope he can keep his promise. Now this means my plans for going to Missouri State are gone.
