"Hey dad." I say walking into the kitchen to get a banana for breakfast.

He looks up at me and mutters a 'hey' and goes back to looking at his iPhone.

My father isn't the most intentative person. He's also not the nicest person so I'm actually not sure how he's mayor at all.

"Love you too dad." I mumble walking up the stairs.

When I walk back into my room I close my door and sit down at my desk to start writing in my daily journal. Every morning I write down what I'm appreciative of and 5 things that I will get done today.

I turn around to see if I had made my bed or not. I have awful short term memory.

I let out a squeal when I see a male body sprawled across my bed. Then I realize it's just Liam.

"Lee what the fuck?"

"Sorry did I scare you?" He smirks whole sitting up.

"How did you even get up here?" I ask.

"Your balcony is not hard to climb up to. What's that you're writing in?" He asks getting up and walks towards me.

"Nothing." I say and close my journal.

"It's not nothing. What is it?" He asks and snatches it up.

I stand up and try to retrieve it but he holds it up above his head. Real smooth.

"Liam I'm not jumping for it. Give it back." I demand.

"Can I read it? Is it about your undying love for me?" He smirks.

"Shut up." I say smacking his chest.

He runs out to my balcony and puts them journal on the chair then proceeds to sit down on it.

"Lee! Get the fuck up!"

"I'm good." He says folding his arms behind his head and laying back on the chair.

I groan out loud then plop down in the chair on the other side of the door.

"Whats in the journal?" He asks calmly this time.

"It's just a way to center myself in the morning. Just stuff I'm appreciative for." I sigh out.

I leave out the fact that his name is in about every page in that journal.

"You okay tigger?" He says sitting up in the chair.

"Yeah."

"Cmon. I know you better than that. Don't be silly." He teases.

"Do you ever just want to live a different life? One where your parents are actually home to give you the attention you need? One where you don't get loads of attention everywhere you go? It just gets so old Liam." I admit to my best friend.

He stands up and walks over to my chair. He opens his arms for me; I stand up and walk into them.

He rests his chin on top of my head.

"All the time tigger."

We stand there hugging for a couple of minutes until I back out of his arms.

"You okay?" He sincerely asks.

"I will be." I say with a smile.

I walk into my room and sit down on my bed with my legs crossed in front of me. Liam comes and sits beside me in the same position.

"I got to get dressed." I announce.

"Why, where we going." He asks.

Nice of him to assume he's coming to.

"Nowhere. I just have to get dressed. Oh actually mom wants me to run some errands for her." I recall her call from this morning.

My mom woke me up this morning and thank god she did because I had fallen asleep at Liam's. I walked back home, which Liam insisted that I shouldn't do, and acted like I had been there all night.

I get out of my bed and walk to my closet.

I look back to Liam to ask if he was going to leave. His eyes hurriedly shoots up to my eyes. Was he just looking at my butt?

"Where you looking at my butt, you creep?" I ask Liam.

"What? Pft, no!" He says and lightly blushes.

"Out." I say and point at the door.

He winks at me then exits my room.

He was totally checking me out. Oh, ew! He was checking me out.

My whole demeanor changes when I feel a smile arrive on my face. He was checking me out.

I grab a pair of ripped leggings and a light blue shirt that says 'salt life' on the pocket. I put my burckenstocks on to top it all off.

I grab my keys to my Dodge Charger and my iPhone 12 pro off of my nightstand and walk out of my room.

I find Liam laying on our couch in the living room.

"Cmon Lee. We gots places to go." I say and walk out of my house.

"Maybe I wanted to drive." He says closing the door.

"Well too bad."

We get into my car and drive off to the store.

"Where are we even going?" He asks me.

"Walmart."

"Walmart sucks though!" He gripes.

"Complain to them, not me." 

——

"Ugh! Why did I even bring you?"

Liam is currently throwing random things into my basket and laughing about it because it's 'so hilarious.'

"Liam go get some food or something. Let me get this done." I tell him calmly.

"Fine." He huffs and walks away.

I get all of the unnecessary items out of the cart and put them back on the shelf.

I finally get the shopping done without Liam throwing everything in the cart.

"Marco!" I hear Liam yell.

I roll my eyes and yell polo back so he can find me. He couldn't just have called on me on the phone or anything.

"Hey there you are." He says eating popcorn chicken.

"Here I am." I say flatly.

"Hey can you go get my car started so it will be cool? Just wait in there for me." I say and hand him my keys.

I pay for all of the stuff my mom asked me to get and finally walk out of the stuffy store.

I get to my car and start unloading stuff when Liam gets out of the car and stops me.

"I got it." He says and starts putting stuff in the trunk.

I smile at him and then get in the car. I hate running errands.

Liam gets back into the car and gets buckled.

"What do you want to do now?" He asks me.

"Sleep." I say leaning my head back on the headrests.

"How about swimming."

I open my eyes and smile at him.

Liam has the best pool. They had it specially made for them. It's an in-ground pool but on one side there's a rock waterfall that's hollow behind the waterfall. It's like your own little cave or something.

"I vote yes." I say and start my car.

Liam lives about 5 minutes away from me. It's not to far but I wish he was just my neighbor.

"Here I'll get these groceries in" He says when we get to my house.

"No it's okay. I got it." I tell Liam.

"No, I got it. Go in and get changed. I'll meet you back at my house." He demands.

I listen to him and walk up to my room. I decide to wear a maroon bikini I've had for a while. I've only wore this bikini a handful of times; I've never worn one in front of Liam before.

Every time we go swimming I always just wear a tank top and some shorts.

Not that I don't like my body, I'm just scared to see Liam's reaction.

I put on the bikini under a loose white t-shirt and some jean shorts. Here goes nothing.

Liam is gone when I come downstairs. The groceries are sitting out on the counter. I put all of them up before I head off to Lees house.

I pull up to Liam's mansion looking house. It's a two story house that's painted a bright white with dark grey trimmings. His mom has a garden in the front yard, aligning the porch. They have a huge wrap around porch with some porch swings on each side.

I walk up to the door and ring the bell hoping he would answer and not one of his parents. His dad absolutely hates me because he believes I just want Liam for sex. Me and Liam are not even like that towards each other.

I hear someone approaching the door. I get greeted with a shirtless Liam. I'm never disappointed in seeing his body.

"Hey." He says flashing a toothy smile.   

I walk into his house with him leading me to the backdoor.

We get out to his pool and I set my phone and keys on a wooden table they have sitting out by the pool chairs.

He sends me a smirk before jumping into the pool making a big splash.

"Cmon tigger!" He yells swimming under the rocks.

I self consciously start peeling off my shirt. I then slip off my shoes and unbutton my shorts.

I vaguely aware of Liam's eyes lingering on my half naked body.

"Hot damn." I hear him whisper.

I don't think I was supposed to hear that.

His eyes are wide and his lips are slightly parted. I've never seen him act like this before; it's a different kind of feeling.

I lower myself into the pool and swim towards him. I stare into his eyes then out of no where I splash him to try to get him out of this trance.

I must look really hot because I know Liam doesn't think of me that way.

"Hey!" He yells.

I start swimming away but he catches me.

He picks me up with no effort then throws me back into the water, letting it engulf me.

"You're so mean!" I whine.

"Baby I can show you mean" He says and smirks.
——
"Liam I don't want to go!" I groan.

Me and Liam and currently in my room trying to find me something to wear to this stupid party.

"Just pick something for Christ sakes!" He says frustrated.

I fall down on my floor dramatically and just lay there.

"Can you just put on some clothes? Hell, go naked for all I care! Let's just go." Liam complains.

I groan and pick myself up off the hardwood floor.

"I hate you." I mumble while entering my closet.

I close the closet door so Liam doesn't have to leave my room while I change.

I pick out a white dress that clings to my body like its trying to seduce me. The dress comes to about mid-thigh and is spaghetti strapped.

I find some flats that go along with dress well because you will not catch me wearing heels.

I walk out of my closet and into my bathroom to see if it looked okay. It didn't look awful I guess.

I let my chestnut brown colored hair out of my ponytail. It fell down my back, almost reaching my butt.

"How do I look?" I ask Liam.

Without looking up he says "looks great, now can we go?"

He sits up and when he actually sees me his eyes widen.

"Wow." He breathes out.

"Yeah we can go." I say smiling.

I grab my phone and we walk out of my house.

"Am I gonna have to be the designated driver? I don't know if I can even drive this thing." I say when I get in Liam's truck.

"Duh. I'm not passing up a chance to get drunk." He says in a matter of fact voice.

"So sleepover at my house."

I hate drunk Liam so much. He never tries to take advantage of me or anything but he always flirts very hard. He tried to sleep with me once. He told me 'you look just like my best friend. You're hotter though.' Then proceeded to try to get into my pants.

It's like taking care of a sick kid; except it's taking care of a drunk eighteen year old.

"Did you plan on drinking tonight or something." He asks.

"Well it would be nice. I'm always the dd." I explain.

"Well fine. But if you don't get drunk you're being the dd for the rest of your life." He tells me.
——
"You're so pretty." I say petting my best friends face.

"You're so drunk." Liam retaliates.

"I think I'm gonna be sick." I proceed to say and run to the bathroom.

"That's what every guy loves to hear." Liam says standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

I start to throw up in the toilet and Liam holds my hair back for me.

He's such a great friend. A hot friend, with a bubble butt.

"No I know what guys love to hear." I say smirking at Liam.

"You're disgusting. Wash your mouth out." He says pointing at the sink.

"Who put your dick up your ass." I mumble while behind down to wash my mouth out.

"Let's go dance! I loveeee dancing." I tell Liam.

"No. Last time you danced you gave a dude a lap dance and you almost let him take you upstairs." Liam explains.

"Well what's the harm in that? I'm just having fun. Wait! You want a lap dance don't you? Is that why you're all pissy?" I slur out.

"No I don't want a lap dance. I want you to chill the fuck out and stop trying to sleep with people."

"Well that no fun." I say walking up to Liam.

I lose my balance and lean up against Liam to prevent myself from falling.

"Wow! You okay there? You almost fell." I ask Liam.

"You're wasted." He says and sighs.

"No you're wasted. Hey let's get another drink!" I exclaim.

I start walk off when someone slithers their arms around my waist and pulls me back.

"Wow you're strong! Do you work out?" I say turning around and squeezing Liam's bicep.

Liam smiles at this one. Oh wow his smile is hot.

"Wow you're hot." I say.

"Oh shit!" I say and slap my hand over my mouth.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you that. Don't tell Maci I said that." I say and put a finger over his lips.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asks me.

We just got here!

"No I wanna have fun!" I say and try to walk off but his arms are still wrapped around me.

"Cmon don't be a party pisser. Wait that's not how it goes. Party pussy- no. Party popper-no. Party pooper! I'm so smart." I say satisfied.

"Hey Liam!" Kirsten appears beside us.

I groan and roll my eyes.

"Whats going on here?" Kirsten asks referring to our stance.

"Oh he was just about to take me upstairs and fuck me." I say smirking at Kirsten.

Liam's eyes widen at my words.

"What? No. Macis drunk. Now is not the time Kirsten." Liam says.

"Seems like a good time to me." She says and smiles.

"Bitch that means bye! Leave." I say.

"Maci no." Liam says putting a hand over my mouth.

"Excuse me?" Kirsten says.

"Kirsten just go." Liam says trying to contain us.

"No. Let this bitch say what she has to say." Kirsten says.

Adrenaline pumps through me.

I tear Liam's hand off my mouth and rip out of his arms.

I get toe to toe with Kirsten.

"He doesn't want you. Can't you tell?" I say to Kirsten.

"And he wants you?" She asks and laughs.

"Oh baby yes. He tells me everyday how sexy I am and every night we have us a good fuck." I say and smirk at Kirsten.

"Maci stop." Liam says and tries to drag me away.

"You bitch!" Kirsten says and pushes me back.

She almost knocks my drunk self down but I regain my balance.

"Do something. I dare you." I glare.

"Ugh!" She says and stomps away.

"Wow. I'm such a badass!" I laugh.

"Cmon Maci. It's time to go, now." He says sternly.

I let him lead me out to his truck and set me inside.

I struggle with putting my seatbelt on.

"How the fuck does this thing work?!?" I say frustrated.

Liam leans over and does it for me.

I wake up to Liam carrying me somewhere.

"Where are we going?" I ask sleepily.

"Just go back to sleep tigger." He says so I comply.
