A Guy with a Secret

Brooke

I could barely pay attention to a thing Liam’s mom said.

Not when the way I woke up plastered to Liam this morning kept playing in my head like a loop. It wasn’t just me either. He was holding me against him like I was meant to be there, and it felt like I was.

But I was tired and confused, and I didn’t have a clue how I even got to his room in the first place. The last thing I remembered was playing twenty-one questions on the back deck while I sat in Liam’s lap.

Liam’s lap, where I must have fallen asleep like he was my personal bed. Oh God. He was probably so ready to get me off him that he carried me up those stairs. With a hurt shoulder that he should have been more concerned about than me.

I slipped out of his bed before he woke up, and somehow I managed to avoid him before his mom and I left the house.

I told his mom that he was probably just tired from the game the night before. I told myself that he was probably just avoiding me as much as I was avoiding him.

“What do you think of this one?” Sarah held up a pretty maroon dress that looked far too frumpy for a woman like her.

“It’s pretty.” I shifted through the dresses in front of me. “But this one would look amazing.” I held up a silver dress that had just the slightest amount of shimmer and the perfect cut for her body.

Her eyes got as big as saucers as she looked at it.

“I don’t think I can pull that off.” She tucked the maroon dress in the curve of her arm, but kept looking at the dress I held up with interest.

“Just try it on.” I loaded it on the pile I had for myself. “If you don’t like it, we can put it back.”

“You’re right.” She nodded and kept going through the racks. “Are you excited about the wedding?”

“Yeah,” I lied. It wasn’t so much that I wasn’t excited about going to the wedding. The wedding would be fine. But it also meant the end of this. This charade between Liam and I would be over, and our life and our relationship would go back to normal.

I wasn’t sure how to feel about that.

I didn’t know how I would handle it.

Because I wouldn’t be the same after this. No matter how hard I tried to keep my head on straight or my heart on lock, I knew I wasn’t strong enough to withstand him.

No matter how easily he would return to normal when we got home, I would be affected.

But I was a pro at hiding my feelings, and this would be no different. I could smile at Liam at work and I could joke when he brought another girl around and pretend like I wasn’t going insane with jealousy.

I knew I could.

“I’m going to be sad when you all leave.
