I’ve learned that falling in love doesn’t have to be difficult.
It can be as easy as sitting down in front of your significant other and unburdening your heart of all the yearning you feel. It can be as simple as whispering all your secrets and then waiting for them with arms open as they turn their heart over to you forever.
Loving Liam is so simple, it feels like second nature. Loving Liam is so easy, it feels as breathable as the air that keeps me alive. Loving Liam is everything good that’s happened to me and I swear I’ll cherish this man until the end of time.
Speaking of my boyfriend, his text comes through just as I’m taking a picture of myself in a dress sent to me by a boutique here in Montardor. Every Tuesday, I like to post an OOTD social media post to support a small business from the city.
What are you doing this Saturday? —Liam
I snap a quick shot in my mirror, then walk over to my new desk (Liam made it for me from scratch and delivered it last week. It’s absolutely perfect.), where I sit and reply to him.
I think my schedule is booked. —Mabel
It’s really not. I’m just playing.
Oh, yeah? —Liam
Yeah, I’ve got a business dinner. It’s this musician that’s been in my DMs for a while now. He wants me to be the next video vixen in his music video. Asked if I’m down to lie on a piano while he serenades me in a room full of candles. —Mabel
I snicker, just imagining Liam’s jealousy. I’m not lying about the musician, but I have zero interest in starring in his music video. However, I do enjoy riling up my boyfriend.
As predicted, a series of explosive text messages arrive.
Over my dead body. —Liam
Tell this so-called musician you have a boyfriend that isn’t afraid of roughing him up. —Liam
I swear, Bel. This isn’t a threat. It’s a fucking promise. —Liam
My mouth salivates at Liam’s caveman reaction. He’s always so calm, collected, and composed. Not to mention sweet. Since the day we fooled around in his car, I knew he had a dirty side underneath that gentleman exterior.
He just hasn’t let me see it again.
And God, I want to see it—be subjected to it—so bad.
I’ve been horny for a month now. Liam insists we take this ‘slow.’ Any slower and I think my vagina will decay. I’m ready for Liam to make good on all his naughty promises. I’m ready for us to—pardon my French—fuck and take this relationship to a whole new level.
I was just teasing you. There’s no music video or business dinner happening. —Bel
You’re a brat. —Liam
I bite my bottom lip.
I knowWhat are you going to do about it? —Bel
Guess we’ll see on Saturday, babe. —Liam
Okay. Stay calm, Mabel. It’shappening.
What’s on Saturday? —Bel
You and I have a special date. —Liam
I’m about to start hyperventilating. All my prayers are being answered. Hallelujah!
Can’t wait, Lee. <3 —Bel
After a long week, Saturday has arrived and it’s our special date in two hours.
