Asher
For two full days, I think about the way I spoke to Sam. I know better than to yell at her like that. She doesn’t understand how I feel about the situation. How could she? She only wanted to help, and I took my anger out on her.
I regret the whole situation, but I don’t know exactly how to make it better with her. I need to come up with a plan. Maybe I can bring her flowers and candy. No, she prefers healthy food. Plus, she has flowers all over her property. Maybe I can take her to a fancy dinner. Maybe I can pay her back sexually…
My plan is to avoid the topic of Liam and me altogether. I don’t want to put myself in a position to act out again. I don’t want to ignore my feelings for Liam. However, I need to clarify them for myself before I start talking about time or making decisions.
While I don’t have a perfect plan in place, I put my boots on and decide to go speak with Sam. At the very least, I can show her that I care about our friendship.
Before I finish tying my boots, I see someone aggressively walking up to my ranch home’s front door. As the figure gets closer, I see Liam’s toned body and an angry expression on his face.
Liam storms into the front door rather confrontationally and throws down a magazine on my table.
“Well, hello to you, too,” I say.
The anger surprises me a bit. Liam never approaches me this way.
“What the fuck is this?” Liam asks.
“What are you talking about?” I want to know.
“Just read the damn magazine, will you?” Liam demands.
I look down at the magazine on my table and immediately see Samantha on the cover in a silver dress with a plunging neckline and another model friend with her. I can only assume the friend is the infamous Gabriella Sam constantly talks about. That and the title of the magazine,New York NightLife, lets me know the pictures come from New York.
“You want to explain what the fuck happened?” Liam inquires of me.
“What do you mean?” I wonder casually.
“I know that Sam and you got into it the other day. Now she’s back in New York? You think that’s just a coincidence?” Liam points out.
“Look, we did have a bit of a disagreement the other day. I also admit that the majority of the fault lies in me. However, I don’t know why you blame me for everything. She makes her own decisions,” I inform Liam.
Liam sighs and sits down.
“Do you have a drink?” he asks.
“I actually planned to go over to Sam’s right now, but I guess we have time for a drink now,” I say.
I go to the bar and make Liam a drink. I shock myself a bit that I know Liam’s favorite drink already, but I continue to make it according to his preferences.
“Here,” I say, handing him the drink.
He takes a sip, and I can tell he approves. He looks a little less angry at me now that I gave him a bit of alcohol.
“So, why did you two fight?” Liam asks me.
“I take full responsibility,” I confess.
“Can you please just tell me what made you yell at her?’ Liam pleads.
“What does it really matter?” I ask.
“If we know what got you so upset, we can prevent the topic from coming up again in the future,” Liam explains.
“I will not let it happen again,” I promise.
“You really don’t want to tell me, huh?” Liam notices.
