Coming Home to You ONE
DELILAH"I should have known that this is where you'd be." I glance over my shoulder at my best friend Tessa, while pushing my dark sunglasses back up on my nose. "Have you been out here alone all night?" The waves crash down in front of me while I sit with my long tanned legs crossed at my ankles and my freshly painted toes in the sand. She sits down beside me grinning from ear to ear. She knows something, her blue eyes full of gossip. Her long blonde hair pulled up in a stylish messy bun, dressed in her favorite band tee and skinny jeans."You've been keeping secrets from me." I state bluntly as I eye the shirt she's wearing critically and scrunch my nose up in disapproval. "Nice tee by the way. Did they pay you to wear that?" I say sarcastically. She smiles at me lips pursed as I return my gaze to the emerald blue water crashing in front of me. "Nothing wrong with supporting a local hot boy band. I assume you saw that they are home then?" She questions patiently as she puts down h

DELILAHThe asshat smiles at me, a full blown panty melting, dazzling smile, and doesn't take his eyes off mine. "Hey There Delilah I've got so much left to say. If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away I'd write it all." He blinks and that is just the distraction that I need to snap out of his trance and escape this nightmare I'm currently living. I spot a path at the back of the crowd and high tail it out of there. Tessa follows close behind me. I can feel those hazel eyes burning a hole in my back as we head down the path to Tessa's beach house where the after party will be happening later tonight. We enter the house through the back deck and I head straight to the bar that is currently set up in the kitchen. I pour myself a shot of 100 proof whiskey from a bottle tucked beneath the counter quickly tossing it into my mouth. Embrace the burn. Tessa laughs manically beside me. "Okay, clearly, it was more than just sex to him." Tessa deadpans grabbing my arm a

LIAMI can't believe she actually agreed to stay with me tonight. The party has finally quieted down and I'm in a bedroom with Lilah's head laying on my chest. She's fast asleep breathing steadily as I twirl a chunk of her curly brown locks around my finger. I can't sleep. I'm too excited. My mind keeps replaying every moment that happened between us tonight. Analyzing every single word, every look we shared, and praying that when she wakes up tomorrow she won't shut me out again. I can't blame her. I know that I'd deserve it if she did.Last year when our band was signed everything happened so fast. Lilah and I had been hooking up pretty regularly for months, but we hadn't defined what we were doing and I didn't want to admit my feelings to myself, let alone to her. So when the time came for us to leave, I did just that. I left. I didn't bother to send her a text, I didn't stop at her house to say goodbye. I wanted to, I just didn't know what to say. We hadn't labeled what we were an

DELILAHMy fathers publicist Lisa took me straight to the Panthers practice field after picking me up from Tessa's place. The new football season is starting up soon, so right now my dad spends just about every free minute that he has here. I mentally prepare for the worst as I wait in an office for him and Lisa to arrive. I scroll through the pictures of me and Liam as I'm waiting for them. I guess it could have been worse. Thank God he stopped me from streaking. I can only imagine the headlines those pictures would've created. I shiver as a text message from Tess pops up on my screen. Tess: Liam is freaking out girlie. I think more is going on between you two then you're confessing. You've really done a number on him.ME: He'll survive. I'm sure I'm not the only girl he's currently hooking up with. ME: But, what exactly did he say? I can deny my feelings for him all day long, but I can't help but be curious, even though I know I shouldn't be. Liam is bad news. Trouble with a capit

DELILAH Later that night, I'm laying on my bed scrolling through my i***a feed when I hear a knock at my balcony door. My room is on the second floor of our house, and although it's a tough climb, I do know one boy in particular who was always brave enough in the past to attempt it. I hop up from my bed and look out the blinds to see Liam waiting patiently for me to let him in. His dark locks are tousled perfectly, hazel eyes trained on me with a mischievous smirk on his face. "Hey Romeo, what brings you here so late? You do realize my dad is sleeping just down the hall." I motion for him to come in and he plops down on my bed grabbing my hips and pulling me on top of him. "Hey Dels. I missed you." He coos as he starts trailing kisses down my neck. "I had to come see you. Besides, we both know that your dad sleeps like a log." I giggle, "Liam, you just saw me a few hours ago. We were literally together all day." I say placing my hands on his chest and pushing him back to get a lit

LIAMThe next morning I wake up before Lilah, so I decide to let her rest while I check the usual gossip articles for any new developments. I never really bothered to keep up with news about myself before, but I never really had a reason to care either. I want to keep on top of things for her though, to make sure that we don't get blindsided by something that I didn't see coming. There were a couple of posts about our practice with the Panthers yesterday and everyone seems to think it's great how her dad supports us being together.I'm caressing her smooth skin on her back while she lays with her head on my chest when I hear footsteps and a knock at her door. Oh shit. The reporters may think that her dad supports us, but I'm sure he'll still be pissed to find me in his daughter's bed. "Babe." I whisper as I try to nudge her awake. "Ten more minutes," she murmurs as she swats my hand away. "Babe, wake up. Your dad is knocking on your door.""What?" She whispers wide eyed. I motion

LIAMAn hour later I pulled up to Delilah's in the red Jeep Wrangler that I bought with my signing bonus, to see her and Tessa waiting for me with their beach gear. Being the gentleman that I am, I quickly hop out of the car to load up their things. Delilah gives me a kiss on the cheek before hopping into the front passenger seat as Tessa climbs in the back. She smells like vanilla and sunshine and I want to bury my face in her silky brown hair and stay there forever.The beach that we are headed to is about twenty minutes away. The weather is perfect today, sunny and 85 degrees outside, without a single cloud in the sky. Delilah is quick to commandeer my radio, putting on their current favorite song from One Direction.I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes. Is it bad that my girl's favorite band isn't the one I'm in? I'll have to work harder on making her a fan. Delilah's taste in music has always been varied though. She likes a little bit of everything from punk rock to country. S

DELILAHThe town we live in is on the small side, so once again we find ourselves at Lulu's Diner. I'm not complaining though, the retro vibe and 90's music is just what I need after a long day in the sun. R.E.M. is playing in the background as we walk in and just as we're sitting into the shiny red booths, our phones all start dinging simultaneously. If I've learned anything in the last few days, it is that rapidly dinging phones are not a good sign. Ever. I wonder what it is this time."So, how bad is it?" I ask, refusing to look at my phone at all. I order cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes for all of us while everyone else quickly scans through their notifications. "Depends on what you consider bad." Tessa chirps and smiles at me questioningly. "The good news is that you look gorgeous as always. I don't know why you stopped modeling. I mean, I know why, but cameras just love you." I nod thoughtfully. She's not lying. I'm very photogenic, but I haven't modeled since mom died. It
