Coming Home to You FIFTEEN
LIAM I hear the front door open downstairs and slowly start to wake up from my dream. There's a warm soft body curled up in my arms and everything that happened last night comes back to me. Delilah is still here lying in my arms, head nuzzled between my chest and my neck. Then I remember that someone is in my house. "Liam, are you up honey? We're home early, I thought I could make you breakfast. Oh my." My mom opens my door, which I didn't think I needed to lock, since no one else was supposed to be home this week. I pull the blanket up over Delilah as she wakes up looking confused and embarrassed. My mom being the nosy person that she is, decides to come in instead of closing the door like any normal mortified parent would. "Liam, I thought we talked about this. Just because you're in a band doesn't mean you need to be a man whore. I thought you were going to straighten up. Who's this with you? What about Delilah? I thought you were going to try to make things work with her?" M

DELILAHThree days later and I find myself in the departure terminal at Charleston International Airport, getting ready to go through security with my dad. The guys are here somewhere but we decided it'd be best if we didn't arrive together, to avoid any unnecessary articles showing up on the gossip columns today. Although Shelly says that any press is good press, I'm still not ready to admit my relationship status to myself, let alone the world. Liam has been quite persistent on the topic lately. I don't see what the problem is though, we are together in everything except labeling it, so really to quote his mom, "it's just semantics." I don't see the need to go messing with something that's working fine just as it is already. I know it's frustrating for him, but our not having the label that he wants is kind of his fault in the first place.I follow my dad through the security queue and pick up my backpack. We have a test next week and I am going to make the boys study a bit while we

DELILAHWe're exiting the airport, hand in hand when the cameras begin flashing. I knew this was coming but even still it can be unnerving. The reporters begin yelling for our attention and then one of them notices the ring. "Delilah, is that an engagement ring on your finger?" "Liam, when's the big day?" "Will you stop for a picture?"I just look at Liam and smile. He's also smiling from ear to ear when he slips into the vehicle next to me. "How long before our phones start dinging?" I ask him. He laughs, "hmm maybe fifteen minutes, if we're lucky." He says chuckling. "I bet we don't even get to the hotel." Tyler adds just as the notifications begin. I glance at the posts on my phone, "Wedding Bells in the air? Football Princess spotted with engagement ring.""I'm still the best man right?" Ty questions while gently punching Liam in the shoulder. "Of course man. Somebody has to listen to me whine while I wait for Delilah to show up at the altar." We pull up to the hotel and I

LIAM The next morning, I woke up beside my beautiful wife who was still sleeping soundly. We both decided to turn our phones off completely last night, already knowing there would no doubt be tons of leaked photos and articles about us today, but those won't matter anymore. Not really anyway. Delilah is officially mine now and I am hers forever.There's a soft knock at the door and I pry myself from my bride, throwing on a pair of sweatpants to see who it is. Room service is outside with hot plates of eggs and bacon, and bowls of fresh fruit and oatmeal. I thank the hotel staff and take the tray inside to wake up Dels with breakfast in bed. It's a little later than I expected, which doesn't leave much time before her photo shoot today. I climb back onto the bed and nuzzle her awake. "Dels, they dropped off our breakfast. We need to eat and get going soon so you won't miss your photo shoot." She grunts, rolling onto her back and leaving me with a very tempting view. She still loves t

LIAM We just arrived at the hottest club in Vegas. Tonight we're celebrating out on the town with our friends again. The last two days seem surreal as I lead my new wife into the flashing lights and thumping music. I spot Tyler in the VIP section and wrap my arm around Dels, leading her that way. She looks like a goddess tonight, her dark hair cascading over her bare shoulders. She's wearing this strapless gold number that hugs her curves perfectly, which makes me want to hug her curves even more than I already do. People are watching us more than they usually do. I'm sure it has to do with our faces being plastered all over the internet today. I hold her a bit closer. Most of the articles were predictable, "Liam Anderson's Secret Wedding with Bikini Model Delilah Jones." A few however, posted speculations of a rushed wedding, claiming it was necessary because Lilah was pregnant and had somehow trapped me and that it'd never last. I know those articles frustrated her, but time will

DELILAHMy head is pounding and my mouth and throat are parched. I try to move my arm to rub my temple, but I'm unable to lift my limbs. I open my eyes and see a room that I don't recognize. I look around and notice Tessa is in the bed next to me, but her arms are also restrained behind her back attached to the headboard as well. The room is dark, but I don't think I see anyone else in here. "Tess." I hiss in her direction. "Tess. Wake up." She opens her eyes looking around frantically just as confused as I am. "What happened? Where are we?" She whispers back at me while we try to fight the restraints."I have no idea. The last thing I remember is dancing with you and that girl Julie bumped into you spilling your drink all over us. We went to the bathroom to clean it up and then I can't remember anything else." I explain, looking around. "I see our phones on the counter. We need to try to get our hands free." I look over at Tessa's hands. "They used zip ties. We just need to keep wig

LIAMGetting into the SUV without Lilah was easily one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I had promised her dad that I'd always protect her, and her being kidnapped while I'm only 15 feet away, makes me feel like I failed them both. Thank God they were able to save themselves. Tess let it slip to Ty that she and Dels had been taking boxing and self defense lessons since Delilah's mom passed away. Apparently, my tiny wife knows how to defend herself. Our opening performance at the game went on without a hitch. Delilah was waiting for me in the dressing room when the show was over just as she promised she would be. We barely wait for the game to end before heading straight to the airport. We had originally planned on staying another night in Vegas, but after everything that's happened we are both ready to get home. The media frenzy surrounding her kidnapping has been insane. Thankfully, Andrew had a press conference and answered as many questions as possible so hopefully
Coming Home to You TWENTY TWO
DELILAHWe officially have been living in our new house for six weeks. Liam has been super hands on with helping pick out everything we need to start our life together. We finally have furniture, which is exciting since we slept on a pallet for two weeks straight. We made the best of it though, with late night pillow fights, and building a fort out of sheets like we used to do when we were kids. When we aren't spending our time getting busy in every room of our new home, we are finishing up our senior year online. It's been difficult to get Liam to concentrate on his studies if I'm in the room, so I've been getting most of my work done on our balcony overlooking the ocean while he works in the office. I can't complain. I leave tomorrow for London with Tessa. She has been helping as my personal assistant since my modeling career has been skyrocketing. We've been darting off across the country nearly every weekend for different gigs and runway shows. This London show is for fashion wee
