Chapter 12
Harper
I’m sitting outside WEJ parked next to Liam’s car. The roundtable was a success and yet I feel like we’re worse than ever. I dial his number, and it goes straight to voicemail.
“Babe, I’m watching the twins tonight. Call me or stop by and keep me company.” Love you.
I rush across town to relieve Charlee. Hunter and Ben left on an after babymoon. The guys and I are helping her parents keep the kids until they return. Tonight’s my night.
“Yay! Auntie Harp is here.” Charlee is wiggling BJs arms in the air. Then she chews on his jaws and his round belly. His precious giggles make me laugh.
“Where’s HJ?” I take BJ from her sniffing his baby scented skin. “Hey, precious baby.”
“HJ is sleep. Thank god! Watching twins is the best birth control.”
“I bet.” She fills me in on the last feeding, diaper changes, and she’s headed towards the door.
“So, when’s the big day?”
I stop bouncing BJ on my hip. “The roundtable was last week.”
“I didn’t forget about that, I’m talking about your wedding announcement. Did I miss it?” Charlee’s been jet setting with her new man.
“No.” I start bouncing again, turning my back to her.
“And why not?” She steps around me bringing us nose to nose.
“Because we haven’t.” I nibble on BJ’s chubby cheeks to keep from making eye contact with Charlee. I’ve been waiting for the change to happen. For Liam to turn from my handsome Irish prince to the frog, I’m used to. But he hasn’t.
“That man was ready to marry you six months ago. What do you believe he’s thinking now?”
“He’s cool. We’re cool.” I reason. “Why mess up a good thing when we’re happy?”
We still clash like titans but in a manner that makes me feel truly alive. I can’t imagine not having Liam in my life.
“Are you sure about that, Harper? Liam doesn’t strike me as the most patient man.”
“We’re good. Now go, you’re barging in on my alone time with my Little Man.”
“All right girl. Love you.”
“Love you too.” I close the door with Liam on my mind. I call him. No answer.
I’ll head straight to his place once Parker arrives to relieve me.
I’m haunted by Charlee’s words as I arrive at Liam’s house. He wasn’t lying about his home, the five bedrooms, two-story house is enormous, fit for a family. He had it professionally decorated down to the formal dining room.
I take the stairs two at a time. I burst into his room, and my man is asleep. I toss my clothes aside crawling into bed with him.
“Hey, baby,” he mumbles kissing me. He grips my hips pulling my body against his. “How are the boys?”
“Perfect.” I smile. “Hey babe, are you happy?”
Liam stops stirring turning me to face him. “What’s going on?” He rubs his eyes.
“I’m just curious is all.” I scratch at his beard, loving the feel of it.
“I’m happy with you, but not our circumstances.”
