Chapter Eighteen

Melissa

Once I’ve put Syren down for his mid-morning nap, I potter around and clean all the mess up we’ve made with our painting activity we’ve just finished. I’m just picking up the last paint pot when the front door slams, making me jump and the blue paint pot to drop out my hand, splashing me in the process.

Fucking fabulous.

“Melissa?”

What the shitting hell?

“Where are you? I need to talk to you woman.”

He’s got to be having a laugh, there is no way I’m talking to him, especially not here. I’m still very pissed off with him. Silently stepping back, I try to hide behind the playroom door thinking if he can’t find me he’ll go away.

With no such luck, I don’t make it in time. Just as I think I’m in my hiding place I hear him come barrelling around the corner and come to a sudden halt.

“If you think you can hide from me, then you’re sadly mistaken Miss Wright. Your shoe is still sticking out, which is a big give away.”

Bollocks.

Stepping out from behind the door, I give him what I hope is my best evil glare. I know I’m failing when my eyes betray me and look him up and down, at the same time my tongue has a mind of its own as it’s currently out licking my lips.

My own body is betraying me, it’s remembering everything we did last night. A cocky chuckle pulls me out of my reverie, so I place the scowl back on my face and hope it stays there this time.

“What do you want Liam? I have nothing to say to you.” My voice has an edge to it, that I didn’t know I was capable of.

He steps into my personal space so we’re almost chest to chest, just like we were last night. I try to calm my breathing down to a normal pace, but it’s just not happening. Having him this close to me makes me want to rip his clothes off. Just as I’m having these thoughts his lips come crashing down onto mine and before I know it, I’m kissing him back and I’m running my blue painted covered hands through his hair.

“I’m so sorry Mel, please forgive me,” he pants out between kisses.

Then, like a cold bucket of freezing cold water has been thrown over me, I realise what I’ve done… again.

“No, no, no!” I manage to get my voice to say as I push him away from me with what little strength I have left. I can’t allow him to treat me the way he did last night, then just fall into his arms when he comes calling. I’m better than that.

“Liam go away, please, last night was a mistake for both of us. You came to me looking for someone else and when it comes down to it, I’m not her, I never will be and I won’t live in my sister's shadow. I’m worth more than that. I won’t be second best, not now, not ever.
