Wow he is sooo romantic and swoony. Thank you all so much for reading Tate and Liam's story. It means so much to have your support xoxo
Epilogue – Liam I reflect on the summer holidays as I stand in the four-bed house, Tate’s dad got her here in Austin, TX. It’s hot and humid as I watch my girl running around between the kitchen and the boxes in the large, open space lounge. And by large, I mean like seriously fucking BIG. “Are you just going to stand there and watch me like a perv, or you going to come and help me unpack?” Man, is Tate excited or what? We arrived last night, her dad laid on the jet for us, the boxes were already shipped out from our homes last week and the cleaning support came in yesterday morning. There isn’t anything for us to do but unpack. Are we ready for college? Who knows, all I want to do is fuck my girl and play football. It’s exciting for sure. My high school coach spoke to the coach and the manager of the Longhorns here in Austin and I am in. I can’t believe how smoothly it went, Cali said they would have me anytime if things didn’t work out and for State, the manager has already emai
Tate "Another date with Jennie. It must be getting serious." I say as I look adoringly at my best friend, Liam. He is one of the most handsome guys in our school. We're seniors and ever since I can remember he has had the girls chasing after him. He's tall, six feet and slim with the sexiest tattoos running up his arms. He runs his hands through his jet black hair and smiles. God that smile, It makes me go weak, so weak. "Nah no big thing. She's cute though but it's not serious." "Yeah right." I say trying despserately to be lighthearted about it. I know that he hasn't seen anybody twice before. Ever. This is a first. I wouldn't say that Liam is a serial dater but he is a ladies man and he has the looks with his piercing blue Travolta eyes, plump luscious lips that't give Angelina Jolie a run for her money. "Hey come on, Tate. I'm not ready to get serious with anyone, especially not Jeannie. We've not even gone to first base. We're just hanging." "I thought that's what you di
Liam Wow to say Tate has been acting a bit weird lately is an understatement. I know she's at that age you know where girls are going through a lot and can be hormonal and have heaps to deal with, but she's started kind of getting almost jealous lately. I know we're best friends and have been since we've been five years old and I love her. Really love her like my sister. I dismiss the thought, she's having a tough time, I'm so glad I'm not a girl growing up. Being a boy is bad enough. Although I was luckky not have gone through the whole spotty teenage cycle. We're heading over to Mason's and I'm looking forward to catching up with the gang. There are four of us, we've been hanging together for the last three years and when we all go our separate ways for college, it is going to be so damn weird. Only I'm not sure what the plan is with Tate. She wants to go into fashion design and travel to Paris, but her father has other plans for her. She is pretty strong willed and her mother, E
Tate I feel like my insides are melting with Liam's leg pressed up against mine. There is sufficient room for me to move up closer to Lilly but what the hell, I'm not going to. Now he has decided we shouldn't sneak into each other's bedrooms at night, this is the closest I'm going to get to having my boy crush satisified with any kind of touch. "So who you going to the prom with?" Lilly asks me. I don't have a scooby doo since I haven't really put much thought into it and also I kind of hoped, Liam would ask me but he hasn't and I am sorely disappointed. "Nobody at the moment." Her mouth gapes open even Liam is staring at me. Do I feel uncomfortable? You bet I do. All of a sudden I feel like the spotlight is on me and I really don't like it. "Will y'all stop looking at me like that." I huff and pick up my coffee the waitress has just put in front of me and start sipping at it instead. "Girl, you gotta get a date sorted. It's only a few weeks away." Lilly's voice has a sudden high
LiamMan, I just wish these guys would knock it off already about Tate and I. It's embarrassing. Yeah she's sweet and extremely pretty but we're best friends. Nothing can happen. Ever. Full stop. Period. But they're kind of relentless. I lean towards her and whisper in her ear. "Let's get out of here, we've got assignments to hand in by Friday and I have practise later." I don't tell her I will be seeing Jennie later too. Don't ask me why, it isn't exactly a secret. She nods, I can see Denver watching us closely. He so wants to be right about Tate and I being a couple. It's hysterical. "We're checking out guys." I say and grab Tate's hand. It feels warm and soft. It feels comfortable. It feels like it is part of me. We've held hands since we were five years old. The first time ever she grabbed my hand to go and play in her back yard and in the tree house her dad had built for her, I knew I'd have a friend for life and nothing is ever coming between us. Not ever. No man, no jock who w
Tate Is it me or was Liam being a bit uptight when I mentioned going out with the girls and seeing how it goes with Dexter for going to the prom with me? I feel dumb really because I had thought Liam would ask me. I am still experiencing anxiety at the thought of him taking some other girl. Not as much anxiety as him going out with Jennie again later tonight. As we walk along the wide sidewalk towards my house and Liam's opposite, I try desperately hard not to think of him and Jennie tonight. Then I wonder, where do they actually do it? Perhaps in Liam's pick up truck, ugh what a thought. I sit in there on a regular basis when he drives me around. Nope I haven't got my license yet. I do, however, need to get around to getting one. Daddy keeps saying he'll take me out in his car, but really. I don't want to learn to drive in his Bentley. That is hugely outrageous. He said I should decide on what car I want and he'll buy it for me. I have no idea what type of vehicle I want, although
TateIf there is something Liam can do, it’s eat until the cows come home. I’m not kidding you. He can eat for an army and still not put on any weight. But then he does work out a lot and burns off so many calories playing football. He has to train with the team four nights a week, spends a session in the gym most mornings before school. This guy is dedicated to his sport and one day for sure, I know that Liam is going to be a hot shot. In school he already is.That is precisely why it makes my life so difficult. All the girls want him and I am so sick and tired of seeing them all flirt with him, touching him and just getting in his face. I wouldn’t say he adores the attention. Much. Okay, maybe just a little bit. Denver loves it, oh my God that boy loves the attention. I honestly don’t know how Lilly puts up with it. Love and trust I guess.I have come close to wanting to slap some of the girls that fawn all over Liam. All of this never bothered me before, I was just a kid but I’m no
Liam I watch Tate as she huffs and puffs making me my chicken sandwich and some salad. She effortlessly slices up some tomato and cucumber and adds a bit of lettuce and a drizzle of my favorite vinaigrette. She’s adorable and I couldn’t wish for a better best friend.She makes me smile, she’s always willing to help me and if I’m down and having a real rough day then Tate is there for me. Always and forever. That’s out little motto. We’ve had it since were six years of age when we sat in her tree house, sprawled out on the blue and pink cushions her mom made and linked our pinky fingers and swore an oath. No matter what happens, no matter where we are, no matter what anyone says, we will be best friends forever and always. She’s my girl.I know the guys and the girls rib us about being an item but seriously we’re not. I can guarantee that Tate only sees me as the kid she met all those years ago. Damn it, when I go to college I’m sure going to miss her. It is going to be so weird witho
