"One of your greatest habits Williams is your ability to repeat the same thing with it not sounding the same because you already told me these things before, I wanna know something else, like some deep shit secret like your family, is a mafia family or something like you are secretly a crown prince who ran away,"Jordan said. He didn't want to sound demanding so he settled to lighting the mood, he hoped Liam will share more about himself when he was ready to he didn't want to push him just like Liam didn't push him when he had told him he loves him, instead he had waited for him and Jordan was ready to wait for Liam too until he was comfortable enough to tell him more."I don't have any of those secrets, I am just a,""Normal boy who grew up with extra protective parents,"Jordan finished for him."Yup,"Liam said. Jordan lay in his arms and let out a soft breath."I am not going to rush you, Liam, whenever you are ready you can tell me, and no matter what you tell me it won't change
ECHOES OF LOVE 56
Jordan walked to the door wondering who it was that was here to see him on Saturday without calling, if it were his parents he was going to send them back home, he really needed to catch up on lost sleep, he knew he couldn't be Liam because one he knew the lock code, two he won't be back early, opening the door, it wasn't his parents bit three people he didn't know, maybe they got the wrong flat he thought as he greeted them, there were three of them, a woman and two men, the other guy looked more like a security guard or bodyguard."Good day, sir ma'am,"He greeted, his parents thought him to be polite at all times and he tried his best to stick with that as much as he could, even though sometimes he forgot and behave abnormal, like his mom used to say when he does something wrong, just the thought of home reminded him that he hadn't gone to see his parents in a long time, and that was bad of him."Good day my dear, you are a friend of Liam right?"The lady among the people asked, sh

Liam's mom asked again and Jordan realized he hadn't replied to her."Thank you, ma'am, my name is Jordan,"He finally responded."Nice to meet you Jordan, my son might not have said a lot about you because he is such a secretive man but I am so glad to finally meet you.""Thank you ma,""You are welcome, so can I ask you a few questions about you, if you don't mind?"She asked. Here it goes Jordan thought preparing himself for the loads of questions, not like he could say no anyway."Sure, you can ask me anything,""Okay good, both of your parents are around right?""Yes ma'am, they are,""Any siblings? And where do your family live? We live in Los Angeles,"Liam's mother said."No, I don't have any siblings, I am an only child and my parents do live here in New York,""Wow, that's cool, so what do you do? As you know my son is a pharmacist, he wanted to be a cardiologist or a neurologist but we felt that was too hard for him and will be too stressful and thankfully he agreed to be a
ECHOES OF LOVE 58
Liam turned to face his parents when Jordan left, he didn't even know where to start from, he hadn't expected them at all, maybe that's the reason his mom hadn't called for over a week plus now, and he had told she had finally given in, he should have known his parents will pull a stunt like this,Liam didn't like that his parents are here, no, he didn't have a good feeling about this, and with the way, Jordan acted when he had come in he could sense that his parents had talked to him, he just wished they could just leave him the hell alone and just let him make his decision as an adult."Why are you guys here?""Isn't obvious, we can't sit and just watch you die, Liam,""Dad, I am not going to die, stop talking as if I am dying tomorrow,"He responded."But you are, you are dying and yet you are not doing anything to help yourself,""Did you talk to Jordan about it? Did you tell him?"He asked hoping against all hope that they didn't speak to Jordan about his health condition, he did

She said pointing at his father who nodded. Seriously, his mom was petty."Whatever mom, so long as we are not sleeping in the same space plus I have to work so, you won't have that much time to bug me,""Bro, you don't know what I can do,"His mom responded, Liam texted Jordan just as they were leaving the house, he told him he will be back so that they can talk."Okay, which hotel are you guys using?"He asked."You know the best of the best,"His mom said."Show off,""Of course, I earned it,""Nah, more like you are a lucky lady who got super-rich parents and then got married into another rich family,""And I work idiot,"His mom said hitting him at the back of his head, it was so unexpected, she never hits him, he kind of liked it a lot, she was so damn protective that it felt like a refreshing change, he smiled to himself as he drove them to the best hotel he knew."Wait, did you guys come alone?"He asked noting the absence of someone his parents never travel without. Richard.

Jordan sat in his room, not like he was doing anything, he just wasn't in the mood to go out, Liam wasn't home yet, he took his parents to the hotel yesterday and didn't come back, he did send a text that he will be spending the night with them and that was it, no calls after that, he knew he shouldn't feel insured or whatever because he knew Liam loves him a lot and it was his parents but somehow he felt left out, when he had gotten home from his walk yesterday, he had expected to see Liam back home since he said he was just going to drop off his parents but then he didn't and late at night as at nine pm, he had sent a one sentence text, I am sorry I can't make it home tonight, spending the night with my parents,' and that was it, Jordan had at least expected him to call this morning but he didn't and when he did call, his phone didn't go through, which was the reason he was feeling left out."Let's not go there,"He said out loud, he wished Liam would at least call him, today was al

"Dad, you are not old, stop making excuses for yourself for forgetting your only child's birthdate,"He accused."I am sorry, do what brings you to our house, it is so rare to see you here, what do we own the visit?"His dad asked changing the topic."Do I need a reason to come visit my parents? This house is mine too in case you have forgotten,""Bro, you and I both know you don't come around that often, when was the last time you came here?"His dad asked, he tried to think and all he could come up with was months ago when he had brought Katrina over so that she could forget her pains when Lucas had broken her heart, now they were married and even had a kid. That wasn't so nice seeing that he was their only child but they disturb him all the time and even visit him unannounced he felt he has seen enough of them."Well I am here now, so give me food I am hungry,"He said. as he followed his mom into the kitchen, his dad came a little later, even though they must have eaten before the
ECHOES OF LOVE 62
Liam wanted to scream out his frustration, he couldn't believe he was letting his parents do this to him, he wasn't a child and he shouldn't let them treat him as one but at the same time, he was their child and one can only push their parents to some extent, yes he knew he was pushing his parents but it wasn't because he wanted to that's not what he intended, they just had conflicted choices and he knew the more time he spent with them the more they are going to nag him, in this case though, he understood where they were coming from, he was scared too when that shit happened to him, he was scared that it might be the end for him.”They are just projecting their fear on me,"He said out loud, this wasn't the first time he witness so much pain, the first had not been this severe but at least he didn't overreact like his parents were doing now."Mom, until when do you plan on keeping me here?
