Last First Kiss #Wattys2014

Chapter 17

"Where are you?" he asks, sounding really worried. 

"My cousin Alice is passing by London so she wants to see me. I'm in the airport to pick her up." I reply, "Didn't you see the note by the bedside table?" I ask, clearly remembering that I had left a note there.

"Oh." he says, sighing. I could imagine him ruffling his hair at this very moment. "My phone was the very first thing I looked for when I woke up with you not by my side." 

I smiled. Liam had slept-over in my room since he didn't want to leave me. Once we made up, I was tired of all the crying I had done and I immediately fell asleep. I'm really glad we made up. I couldn't imagine him not being in my life. It would be unbearable. 

"Lexi!" I hear someone shout real loud. I look around, looking for the person who had shouted my name. I see Alice's blonde hair and she's smiling from ear to ear as she waves frantically at me. I laugh at her excitement to see me.

"I bet that's her." Liam says over the phone, chuckling. He must have heard Alice shouting my name. I mean, who wouldn't have heard such a loud shout? 

"Yup." I reply. "I better go. We'll be home soon, don't worry." I tell him.

"Okay. Be safe." he says. "I love you." it came out as a whisper.

A blush creeps to my cheeks, I could feel butterflies in my stomach. "I love you too." I reply, ending the call as I smile from ear to ear. 

Alice walks over to me and gives me a hug, "How have you been cous?" she asks, releasing me so she could take a closer look.

I smile, "I'm doing great." I reply, "How was the flight?" I ask. She only had one suitcase - much to my surprise, so I didn't bother lending a hand. What a great cousin. 

"It was fine. My bum aches from sitting too long, though." she replies as we walk out of the airport. We walk over to my car and slide in. She turns on the radio and starts singing along - very poorly I must add, as I start the engine. 

We arrive at our house in a few minutes and she immediately drops her suitcase in the living room. She looks around, admiring the place. "This is a really nice house." she says. "Where's the bathroom though? I need to use it." she asks.

I smile, "You can use my bathroom in my bedroom. It's upstairs, the first door to your right." I tell her. She nods and bolts up the stairs as I head to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. 

A few minutes later, I hear Alice shout, "Oh my freaking goodness!" I didn't bother to check out what it was all about. It probably was just a bug she saw or something. I could hear her footsteps running down the stairs. 

"Lexi!" she calls out. 

"In here." I reply, drinking my cup of tea as I sit on one stool by the counter. She enters the kitchen, smiling brightly with her eyes wide open. 

She walks over towards me and sits on the stool next to mine. "Are you going to turn into a Victoria Secret model or something?" she asks.

I raise my eyebrow at her, "What do you mean?" I ask, confused. 

"Because I just saw the most gorgeous, hot looking lad come out of your bathroom!" she squeaks. "His hair was sticking out at all places which added to the hotness effect and the abs. They were - " she stops, not being able to find the right word. 

I laugh at her, "You must have met Liam. I completely forgot he was still here." 

"You forgot about me? That hurts quite a bit." my head turns to see Liam leaning by the kitchen wall. He smiles and walks over to me, giving me a quick kiss.
