haven’t decided where they want to go, but I won’t see any of them for months.
I only invited a few friends: Eric, Addie, Ashton, and Liam. Some random skank I had never seen before also showed up. I don’t know who invited her, but I sure the hell didn’t. I see her talking to Liam. I snarl a few times. Of course, he notices. Who wouldn’t?
I walk over to them. “Would you like a drink? I’m Lila, and you are?” I say, staring at her.
“Oh, hi. Ashton invited my friend and me,” she says as she skims the room, looking for said friend.
Looking in the direction her eyes are pointing to, I see Ashton making his move on some brunette. “Have fun,” I say as I walk away. She didn’t even tell me her name.
Liam grabs me by my hips and swings me around to face him. He puts his hand under my chin. “Are you jealous?” he teases.
Hell yeah, I am.
“Why would I be jealous?” I say with my hands on his chest. I hope he doesn’t notice, but I really am. Who the hell does she think she is? Why would she try to talk to him when she could clearly see he was with me?
“Don’t worry, I’m all yours.”
“I hope so.” I smile at him and notice his 'new friend' is dancing with Ashton and the other chick.
“Well, looks like she decided on another Ellis,” I joke.
“Good. Come take a walk with me.”
“Okay, I want some alone time with you anyway,” I say, kissing the side of his face. Since the party is at my parents' beach house, we walk out onto the deck and down the path to the ocean.
“Lila, I’m going to miss you very much.”
God, if he only knew I would miss him just as much or even more. We walk along the beach and talk about our future plans. I’m really not sure if he wants to attend college or not. He’s financially set for the rest of his life from his parents’ estates.
I love this beach. My parents bought the house when Eric and I were younger. We would come here every weekend. Of course, it's not a private beach, like Liam’s.
It’s getting chilly. Liam notices I’m shivering and wraps his arms around me. I enjoy being close to him. I enjoy his hugs and the little kisses he always gives me on my forehead or cheeks.
“I think I’m falling in love with you,” Liam confesses.
“Liam,” I whisper against his lips. He parts my lips with his tongue, then wraps his tongue around mine. He's so passionate, it feels like I'm going to sink to the ground. I hope he doesn't feel my knees shaking. My damn knees…when I’m nervous, they always want to knock me down.
I’ve been waiting to kiss him like this again. The kiss is so gentle, it seems like it lasts for a lifetime.
“Lila Rae Carls, I've wanted you for the last four years,” he says.
I just stand there, not knowing what to say or do. Then he does it again. This time, there are fireworks going off in my head. I want him to lay me down right here and kiss every inch of my body. I have never wanted that with anyone before. I think I had a damn orgasm again. I don’t know what they feel like, but from the kisses the last time and the ones tonight, this has to be it.
We walk along the beach, laughing and talking. Then we find a perfect spot under the moon.
“You have me now. I am all yours,” I say.
“I’ve wanted to tell you for weeks now. I just didn’t want to ruin our summer, but I’ve decided to join the army,” he says with a sigh. “It doesn’t change the way I feel about you, though.”
“What? Why would you leave me? What am I going to do?”
“Leave you? I’ll be back. I really don’t know what I want to do with my life and this seems to be the right thing to do. I signed up months ago, before we started seeing each other. I wanted to tell you when you asked me before, but like I said, I didn’t know how to tell you.”
I can feel tears streaming down my face at the thought of him leaving. Am I falling for him? Oh God, I am falling in lo—like with him and he is fucking leaving me.
“Look
