LUCAS KNIGHTS
I breathed out as we headed to the porch while Liam kept on talking about how I'm going to be so dead.
We got to the front door and he rang the doorbell. I exhaled as the door unlocked and then Chloe showed up while holding a knife.
"Don't worry. I'll give you a befitting burial". Liam whispered to me.
I gulped nervously. "Chloe. Why are you with that?".
She ignored us and walked back into her house leaving the door open for us. I went in first before Liam closed the door behind us.
I glanced at Chloe who was heading back to the kitchen not bothering to speak to us.
Is she still angry at me?
I watched as Liam walked over to Brianna on the couch giving her a snuggling kiss. I went past them going to the kitchen as well.
I stepped inside. "Chloe?".
She looked up at me before turning back to whatever she was doing. She's probably cooking, that's why she had the knife.
"So. What are you doing?". I asked her.
"I'm putting on a chicken to roast".
At least, she's answering me. Progress.
"Let me help".
"I don't need any help in roasting a chicken besides it's not like you know how. All you probably know is to kiss ladies''.
It's funny how my heart races at the sight of her. How exhilarating.
"At least I know how. I mean, you liked my kisses, right?".
She paused and glared at me. "No. I didn't".
"Yes, you did. I remember the both of us engaged in a passionate kiss last week on this same kitchen counter".
"No, okay?". She denied it. "You caught me at a weak moment, I shouldn't have kissed you".
"Then I want to catch you again".
She let out a scoff. "Oh please. Don't even try".
"You liked my kisses, right? That's why you are scared, if I kiss you again, then you are surely going to fall for me".
She looked at me. "That's never happening and don't try to kiss me again or else you'll be losing a bone and I'm serious".
"You know, Chloe. During the kisses we both shared, I always felt something or did you not also feel the connection we had?".
"Lucas, stop acting like a high school kid because there was nothing to feel, damn you".
Ouch!! That hurts. But I do know she feels something for me.
I went close to her and the instant I rested my hands on her shoulders, she stiffened immediately.
"Lucas, you should leave". Her voice came out coldly.
I ignored her and kissed the side of her neck before running my tongue over to her ear. A moan slipped out of her lips and I smiled in triumph.
I wrapped my hands around her waist and turned her to face me. Our lips met and I kissed her before she bit my lips suddenly.
"Hey!!". I stepped backwards. "Why did you do that?".
"How dare you kiss me with those lips you used with that girl in your office?".
What? So she still remembers that? That's why she's angry with me now?
"Look, I know you are angry at me for what happened earlier today and I'm sorry about Miranda".
"Miranda, huh? So that's the bitch name".
"Chloe__".
"Just stop, Lucas. I get it, I'm not your type so it's best if you leave now because I'm not in the mood for all this''.
I watched as she whirled around heading for the sink. She took the chicken on a pan and thrusted it under the faucet.
"I meant it when I said I liked you". I told her truthfully.
"It would be best if you leave now because I'm not interested in this conversation".
"If I leave then I'm not coming back".
"The door is that way". She pointed to the entrance as she continued with cutting the broccoli.
Looks like she doesn't really want me to be around her.
I made to leave when she let out a shriek almost immediately.
"Chloe".
I rushed towards her and saw her finger was bleeding. She cut herself.
"Are you okay?".
She shook her head as she bit her lips to stop herself from crying while blood began trickling out of the thumb.
I took it and put it in my mouth immediately, licking the blood off. She looked up at me in surprise then I put her thumb down.
"Are you okay?".
Almost immediately, she circled her arms around me as she hugged me. I smiled to myself as I pulled her closer towards me.

BRIANNA
"Well we should have at least told them that we are leaving".
"And risk her giving me a haircut. No, thank you".
I rolled my eyes at him as he parked his car in his large garage.
Well, we had left Chloe's house minutes earlier but Liam didn't let me say goodbye to her because he's afraid of her.
"You should get to know Chloe, she's nice and acceptable". I told him to remove the seat belt.
He unlocked the car doors. "Not everyone can keep up with Chloe's attitude".
"But Lucas likes her. And have you seen her threaten Lucas before?". I asked him to get out of the car.
"Well that's because she loves him".
"And that shows there is more to Chloe". I added.
"No way. I knocked on her door and she opened it holding a knife, she scares me".
I laughed slightly at that and he held my hand intertwining our fingers as we walked in the main entrance.
He helped me up the stairs and I was damn relieved as the pregnancy got me stressed out and tired a little bit.
Then we got to our room and he opened the door. I immediately went to bed resting on it with a pillow behind my head.
"Someone is looking tired".
"I feel like sleeping the whole day". I told him as I rested on the pillow.
He didn't say anything in response. He just dropped his phone on the bedside table and bent over to give me a light kiss on my forehead.
"I love you".
I smiled back at him. "I love you too".
He chuckled lightly and kissed me on the lips this time unbuttoning his shirt swiftly.
I paused. "Liam. Wait, what about the stuff in your car? The Christmas decorations from that Walmart store".
"Oh right". He tapped his forehead. "I'll go bring them in".
He buttoned his shirt back and left through the open door, closing it behind me. I smiled as he went off.
I'm so lucky to have him.
I wanted to drift back to sleep but a phone ringing interrupted me. I sat up and turned sideways to see that it was one of Liam's phones.
Oh Gosh!! And he isn't in the room.
I grabbed the phone from the bedside table and checked who it was but it showed an unknown number.
Weird.
I dropped the phone back and decided to go back to sleep but the caller persisted as the phone started ringing again.
I took it again and glanced at the screen before swiping to connect the call placing it on loudspeaker.
"Liam? How selfish can you be? You didn't bother to pick me up from the airport". A female voice began speaking immediately.
"Excuse me". I spoke up. "Who's this?".
"Trisha Hampton and since when did Liam have hoes to pick up his phone?".
I was stunned. Who the hell is she? And why did she call me a hoe?
Almost immediately, the door opened and then Liam came in with the stuff while I was still on the phone.
"Liam!! I waited for you instead it was your Mum who picked me up". She continued as the call was on loudspeaker.
Liam turned to me. "Who's that?".
The lady spoke up again and Liam took the phone from me disconnecting the call then walked out of the room again.
I ran my hands through my hair nervously, who was that? And the way she talked, it seemed like she and Liam were like ....

WILLIAMS PAIGE
I walked away from the way heading back downstairs and then my phone rang again.
I answered the call. "Trisha. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you crazy?".
"Really? I called you and now you call me crazy?".
"What the heck do you want?".
"You had looked for me everywhere, you wanted me back and I know that I'm back, you didn't even bother to come pick me up".
"You are nothing to me". I said coldly.
"I am your wife".
"You left me, Trisha and you know that. You don't mean anything to me anymore, I'll send you the divorce papers".
"Why?". She scoffed. "Is it because of that hoe who picked up your call?".
"Get out of my line, Trisha".
"I came back for you and even if I don't get you then I want Lilian".
"You don't deserve to be her mother and I own custody of her right now".
"I want my daughter back".
"You are not getting either me or Lilian. Do you understand that? And I don't care if my Mum accepted you". I told her off.
"I always get what I want and you know me too well to refuse me".
