Liam's POV
2 hours before...
"Mr. Stanford all of us here are a little concerned that you are here instead of your father." Mr. Danforth executive manager of this hotel said. 3 other people sat in front of me, other managers from this hotel and one other one inland.
"And why is that Mr. Danforth?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him. I watched him squirm in his seat, he gulped glancing at the other members alongside of him. I did not want to be here listening to the talk. I wanted to be back downstairs with Jenna but no I had to be here in a boring ass meeting about nothing.
Thinking about Jenna made me smile inwardly. Right now I bet she was getting ready for our date tonight at 7. Yes a real date with Jenna; I liked the sound of that. The look on her face when I said I had to go to a meeting made me want to instantly take it back and stay with her instead. So before even really thinking about it I had asked her to go to dinner with me after this.
A night where it could only be us; no paparazzi waiting for us outside, no mother like figure spying on us, or friends interrupting. After our kiss on the plane I knew I had to tell her how I feel. When I saw her leaning against the counter earlier sending me a smirk all I had wanted to do was grab her and kiss her, which I did. Trapping her against the bar with my arms on both sides of her I noticed she wanted me to kiss her just as much as I did. Her green eyes were focused on my lips and they were a dark shade then they were when she was happy.
That morning when I got back from the office before leaving I saw her dressed in sweats and a t-shirt I fell a little bit more in love with her. She didn't care what she looked like. Her blonde hair was up in a messy bun and she didn't have any makeup on, making her look even more beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful honestly. From the way she dressed to how she looked. Her green eyes always seemed to hold something in them, most of the time I couldn't even figure out what she was thinking. Jenna just fit in perfectly with my life, something I hadn't accounted for when I found her. My parents loved her, my sister adored her as did Lennon, even Blake liked her. Well he was a given since she helped him get together with Lennon. Which I had no idea she was doing until Blake called me afterwards telling me to thank Jenna.
Instead of being back at our room watching Jenna get ready I was here. I hadn't even thought about taking Jenna along with me this weekend until Lennon reminded me it was her birthday tomorrow, the 26th of September. I had remembered Barbados was a place Jenna had always wanted to visit so a 2 days before I was set to go I decided to bring her. Instead of staying in my usual room I made sure I was put in a bungalow right beside the water for Jenna. I knew she would love it and was glad I did when I lead her to it earlier her face was lit up like a christmas tree. I was just hoping this meeting would end soon so I can go and be with her.
"Well he is more familiar with this kind of meeting, and has more experience. I have personally worked with your father for many years-" Mr. Danforth started saying.
"If I am not mistaken I am the one who told my father this place would be a good spot to put a hotel. I am the one who has been dealing with all the funds to go here and making sure you have enough money to keep this place going. I am the CEO of the company and I can make sure you are no longer here if you would like." I said glaring at the man across from. His hair was all white and he had a clear beer gut.
"N-no sir I-"
"Good then you have no problem dealing with me." I turned to stare at the other 3. Under my gaze they shrunk and nodded silently. I took pride in the scared look they all had and knew I was intimidating. I did not care if I had to fire these people, they could easily be replaced. "Lets get started I want this over by 7." I said grabbing the file that was placed in front of me.
"Yes sir." With that Mr. Danforth talked about how more and more people have started to stay here at the Stanford Hotel, and how the rates have gone up. I listened with one ear staring down at the chart on the paper.
Seeing that everything was going smooth and that the numbers have gone up I was pleased. I was the one to tell my father we needed to build a hotel here when I first started at the company, fresh out of college. I had seen the land space and with the beach being just a little bit away as well as the little town I knew it was perfect. After showing my findings and ideas about it my father he agreed. This was my first ever hotel idea and seeing that it is doing well was good. This was also the start of my father realizing I was serious about our company.
"But Mr. Stanford a few of the bungalows by the beach were ruined by the storm a few months ago. We have tried to restore and clean them but the damage is severe. We may have to tear them down and rebuild." Mr. Danforth said.
"That is fine they are a little worn out anyways. I will make sure you have money to tear them down and rebuild them, while you are at it add a few more. It will build profit." I said folding my hands on the table. "You have been doing well managing this place I will admit but your tone could use some work. Remember who you are talking to." Glancing at my watch I saw it 15 pass 7 o'clock exactly. Shit.
"Well if there is nothing else to discuss I have to be going." I stood buttoning up my suit jacket. "I will be calling you Mr. Danforth next week with the numbers so you can get started on the rebuilding. Keep up with the good work." With a nod at all of them I turned and left the conference room.
As soon as the door shut behind me I sighed happy to be done. Now I could enjoy the rest of the weekend with my Jenna, I could already picture what she was wearing and couldn't wait to see her. Heading to the elevator I cursed knowing I was late. Jenna was probably down at the restaurant waiting for me. The elevator opened quickly so I got in and pressed the main floor level. Just as it was shutting a hand snuck in-between the doors at the last moment. Clenching my jaw I turned to glare at whoever came in at the last moment but froze. Standing in front of me was none other then Carmen Samson. Otherwise known as my ex. A grin spread across her face as she came into the elevator.
She looked almost the same as she did when I last saw her a year ago. Her deep brown hair was now cut short into a bob style instead of the long length it use to be. She was wearing a tight dress that showed off her curves like she usually wears, along with a pair of tall high heels making her my height. Staring back at me were bright green eyes but they were nothing like Jenna's. Where as hers was innocent and kind, Carmen's were bright with mischief and conniving thoughts.
Carmen turned her body towards me a smirk on her face as she suddenly pressed a button to make the elevator stop completely.
"Carmen what the hell." I said as the elevator jerked to a stop. "What are you doing here?" I bit out at her.
"You aren't happy to see me?" She asked. The last time I saw her I told her I never wanted to see her again and here she is.
"No I am not. I told you a year ago that I did not want to see you again." I glared at her. What I ever saw in her I don't know. She's nothing but trouble and does things only for herself.
"But baby." She said coming closer and pressing against my side. I had actually thought she was the one ironically. We had been together for almost a full year and in that time I had fallen for her. I had fallen for her good looks, her personality which was completely fake. I even thought she loved me back but when I found out she was cheating on me with 3 other guys and had tried to get with Blake I dumped her. Actually dumped her is a nice way to put it, I made sure to humiliate her in front of everyone I knew and it was the best thing I could have done.
She had lead me on making me fall in love with her enough to even consider proposing to her. Now that the fog had cleared I wanted to yell at myself for even considering that with her. She only cared about herself and using people. Now here she was in an elevator with me making me even more late with my dinner date with Jenna.
"Don't 'baby' me Carmen. What the hell are you doing here?"
"I am here to take you back, isn't that obvious."
"I am engaged."
"I know I've seen the pictures. How can you be engaged to something like that? Liam she isn't even close to your league. You deserve someone higher class then that slut." Carmen said standing in front of me.
"Don't you ever say anything like that again about my fiancé again." I growled taking a step towards her. "You know nothing Carmen and are delusional to even think you are in that category." I watched as her eyes widened and she took a few steps back.
"I am not the same guy that you were dating a year ago. I would not piss me off Carmen." Keeping my hard gaze on her I hit the button to unstick the elevator and felt it starting to go once more. "If you think I would open you back with open arms you are insane."
"Liam you think that little girl can keep you happy? Does she even know about your escapades of women? If you think she can satisfy you, you are wrong Liam." Carmen said.
"She is everything you are not, she is not a slut like you who opens her legs for every male." The elevator binged signaling we were at the ground level. "If you get near me and my fiancé again Carmen I will not hesitate to make your life hell." Clenching my jaw I turned and exited the elevator not even taking a glance back at her. I was beyond angry that she was here of all places and cornered me in the elevator. And that she talked bad about Jenna. Jenna was everything Carmen was not I did not plan on ruining my chance with her.
Stalking towards the restaurant I tried to come up with an excuse as to why I was late. I looked at my watch and saw I was beyond late, almost 2 hours actually. I didn't know I was with Carmen for that long for it felt like only minutes. Damn it! Damn it! I shouted in my head.
Walking briskly to the cashier desk I put my hands on the counter.
"Is my table empty?" I immediately asked not even bothering to say say hello.
"Um I dont-" The girl said looking at me. It was clear she didn't know who I was.
"I am Liam Stanford. Now tell me if there is a women at my table or not!" I bit out not caring I was being rude.
"M-Mr. Stanford you are here. I am s-sorry but the women left a little while ago." The girl stammered out.
"Where did she go!"
"I don't know sir." The girl like she was about to pee herself. Clenching my hands into fists I turned and walked away. Shit! I need to find Jenna. I bet she was pissed at me and I wouldn't blame her. I was 2 hours late to our date when I promised I'd be there on time. Grabbing my phone out of my dress pockets I opened it and saw a few texts all from Jenna wondering where I was. Hitting call I put it to my ear as I made my way back to our room.
The phone rang for what seemed like forever before it came to her voicemail. Grunting I hit call again but the same thing happened. Where is she? Why is she not answering her phone! Did something happen to her? The last thought made my insides go cold. There was no way to know if something really did happen to her. For all I know she could have been kidnapped. Slapping myself mentally at those thoughts I scowled. I was really stretching it right there.
Coming to our room I noticed Jenna's bag set outside the door. Glancing to the beach I didn't see her. Growing anxious I headed towards the beach knowing she had to have headed this way. I couldn't loose Jenna because of this, I just couldn't. I had to explain myself to her and hope she forgave me.
Walking in the sand I saw a group of people a little bit away sitting around a fire. She probably won't be there. I thought. Looking in the other direction I saw two lone figures heading back this way. I couldn't see much from here but I did notice one figure was bigger then the other showing it was a male. That had to be Jenna. Trudging through the thick sand ignoring the sand getting in my shoes I made me way towards the two people. The closer I got I could see a flash of blonde reflecting by the moon. It was Jenna.
"Jenna!" I yelled. I watched as she and someone next to her stopped. They were too close for comfort making my tense up. Jenna was mine no one else's. "Jenna!" I said once more. I heard her turn around and whisper my name. Coming to a stop in front of her I got a good look at the person she was with. It was a guy around my age and he was shirtless. He was not bad looking and with standing so close to Jenna I knew he had been flirting with her.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you with my fiancé!" I boomed taking a step closer to him. He didn't even flinch or move away.
"I'm making sure your 'fiance' is okay." The unknown guy said back. I did not like his tone.
"Liam stop!" I heard Jenna say but ignored her.
"She is mine. Don't you go near her." I said my voice low, taking another step closer towards him. The guy didn't seem at all affected shooting a glance at Jenna which made my blood boil even more.
"If she is yours then why did you stand her up hmmm?" I clenched my hands trying my hardest to keep them at my side. This guy did not know when to give up and leave, I do not mind showing him if I have too.
"I did not stand her up. Now step away from my girl!"
"Liam stop. Devon you better go." Jenna said suddenly, stepping between me and the guy. Devon so that's his name. Wait why does she already know his name?!
"Will you be okay alone?" The guy, Devon looked Jenna a weird expression on his face.
"Yeah I'll be fine. Thank you for the advice Devon. I hope I see you again." I bristled at the smile Jenna sent Devon. She can only smile at me. I barely heard what he said after that feeling myself slightly shaking.
"What are you doing out here, especially with another man!?" I said immediately after I knew Devon was out of ear shot. I did not like that guy at all.
"I was not with another man. Devon was just talking to me Liam." She said.
"He was looking at you like he wanted to take your clothes off!" I growled. I hated even thinking about Jenna being with someone else. I have no idea when this feeling got this. A few weeks ago I only slightly liked Jenna, the idea of her being with someone else was a soft punch to my stomach but now it was like someone had hit me with a sledge hammer over and over.
"At least that's someone." I heard her say softly under her breath.
"What is that suppose to mean!? I am the only person that can take your clothes off Jenna."
"It means you left me Liam!" I watched as Jenna suddenly blew up. "I sat in that restaurant like a chump for almost 2 hours waiting for you! You didn't answer my texts either!" Her face was scrunched up in anger and her green eyes hard as she stood close to me.
"I had to sit there while all the waiters kept asking me if I wanted to order, and giving me pity looks! You said you would be there at 7 Liam and you weren't. You made me feel so stupid sitting there waiting for you." She pushed past me roughly.
"Jenna." Grabbing her elbow I pulled her back not letting her get away from me.
"No Liam! I thought tonight would be different! I thought that since we kissed we could finally be something. I though that maybe you liked me too. I am so fucking stupid for liking you!" Jenna started punching my chest then. Tears ran down her face and a slight breeze made her blonde hair fly in different directions. I stood still letting her hit me because I knew I deserved it.
"Everything you do makes me like you more. And kissing me didn't help! I bet you don't even care what I feel because you have tons of girls hanging off your arm. I bet you were off sleeping with one while I waited for you. Well you know what Liam! I'm done! I can't be apart of this deal anymore! I can't lie to your wonderful family, I can't keep liking you in secret while you go off sleeping with other women." She shook her head." "I'm just done." Jenna's voice was soft as she trembled. Pulling her arm from my grip she turned to walk away.
"Jenna you can't do this!" I yelled after her. Not even thinking at this point I ran after her, grabbing her arm once more and twirling her around. "You can't say those kinds of things and just walk away. You can't walk away from me! You are mine." With that I captured her lips roughly with mine. She needed to know how I felt, I had to make her feel what I felt. Hearing all those things she shouted at me made my body warm up. Now knowing that she liked me my heart was swelling up.
Cupping her jaw I pocked her lips with my tongue and was immediately let in. My tongue battled hers aggressively. We were both putting all of our feelings into this kiss. As Jenna bit my bottom lip I couldn't help but groan. Letting go of her jaw both of my hands went up into her soft hair gripping it at the scalp as we continued to kiss. After a little while we both pulled apart gasping for air. I've never had a kiss that left me as breathless as it did with Jenna. Something about her ignited a flame inside of me I didn't know I had.
"Jenna I like you. No I don't like you, I Love You." I breathed out staring down at her. Her green eyes were dark with lust and her lips looked plumper and red from our kiss. After saying those words I waited for her answer. This was the first I have said those words in years and I meant every word. I don't know when my crush turned into love. It could have been when we got in a paint war, or when we were at the Benefit and she saw her mother.
At the beginning of this deal I had thought I wouldn't fall for Jenna. I had told myself I wouldn't no matter what because things would become complicated. But as of right now I did not give a damn. I hadn't known that the moment I met Jenna that I would be giving my heart to her and I don't think she did either.
"You love me?" Jenna questioned her eyes wide as she stared up at me.
"Yes you idiotic women. I love you." I felt like I was bearing my heart out to her. As she didn't answer my heart was slowly starting to fall and I felt like I had made a mistake telling her I loved her. "You have to say something." I said biting my bottom lip. Why wasn't she saying anything! The next moment her hands gripped my hair and brought her lips to mine but softly this time. She pulled away and laid her forehead against mine.
"I love you to you dufus." She breathed out. At the words my heart seemed to explode. It had been a long shot thinking Jenna had the same feelings for me. A grin spread across my face. I have never felt this happy in my life. Grabbing the back of Jenna's head I pulled her to me once more and kissed her.

THIS STORY IS NOT OVER!!! This story has a long way to go, we have only just gotten to the good parts! I don't know how long this story will it could 40 chapters or 60 I don't know. I just write as I go and when I think it is finish i'll end it. If you follow me and read my message I have decided I have until the end of this year to finish this story so at the beginning of the new year I can start my other one. So from now until the end of December there will still be plenty of updates.
This chapter was going to be different and a little bit longer but I decided that I liked the full chapter in Liam's POV. I hope that answered most of your questions on where he was while Jenna waited for him. In the next chapter he will confess to Jenna where he was this was just for you guys, plus who doesn't like a Liam's pov every once in a while :)
Okay now I need your help!! I normally don't do this but I want to hear what you guys think I should do or your ideas. So HOW DO YOU GET A GUY TO NOTICE YOU!? There is this very very very hot guy I know, use to be one of my brothers friends, and I saw I'm for the first time in a like 2 years the other day and remembered how cute he was. Well me being a stalker like I am I found him on Facebook, and a few days after running into him I friended him and he accepted. He is older then me by like 2 years and is wayyyyy out of my league. I've never had a boyfriend so I don't know what to do. Should I even try to get him to notice me and maybe talk to me? Should I just realize that it won't ever happen? He lives somewhere in town but don't know where because he just moved back I think. It would be incredible if he would notice me and like my stuff on facebook or what not. I just don't want to randomly message him because that would make me look like a dork and he probably won't reply. So I need your help! What should I do!!!!! I know this sounds really pathetic but I have nothing to lose by asking you guys :) So PLEASE if you have any ideas or have gone through the same thing comment or message me!! <3
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! If I don't have a lot going on next week I'll try and update earlier!
