Chapter 33
At mid night, we left the party and stayed up in my room talking and laughing about random things until we both fell asleep. Actually I think I was the first to fall asleep.
"Morning sunshine" Liam smiled.
"morning babe" I smiled.
"I made breakfast just for us, so go in and wash up so we can go down together" he brushed his hands through his hair probably feeling good about himself.
"okay... I'll be out in just a minute" I said entering the bathroom.
It wasn't long before I came out and we both went to the dinning together. I was really anticipating a romantic breakfast but what I saw was the complete opposite of it.
Andrea, Katie, Jason and Chad were busy devouring the breakfast Liam made.
"Way to ruin the moment guys" Liam said pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"What moment? " Jason said with his mouth stuffed to the brim.
"Never mind" I sat down close to Liam.
"Guess what!!! Our letters of acceptance are going to be arriving this morning so after breakfast, we should all go to our separate houses to get the letter, then meet up later at the beach to disclose the content" Katie said smiling as if she won a lottery.
"OK... We'll meet up later" Chad picked up his keys from the table.
"I'll come with you babe" Katie stood up.
"I'll get going too, see you later love" Jason kissed Andy on her cheek.
"I guess it's just the three of us" Liam pointed out.
"just the both of you since I need to get my manicure done" she said already leaving.
"so we are all alone... now we can have that romantic breakfast we were talking of" Liam smirked moving closer to me.
"Next time babe and as it is, the moment is all ruined" I said as I kissed his forehead before going upstairs.
*****
I went back to my room and started arranging my things in my bag. It was something that needed to be done. If accepted or not, I will still have to leave here and move to uncle Tom's house.
I finally finished packing and fell on my bed totally exhausted. I looked around the room and gave a sigh. All the memories in this room started flooding back into my mind. The best moments of my life had taken place in this house. I knew I going to miss the time spent with Andy, Katie and most especially... Liam.
Beep beep beep...
The sound of the door bell brought me out of my reverie.
"Couldn't the person be more lenient with the bell" I complained, dragging my legs lazily downstairs.
"I Presume this is the Summer's residence" the delivery guy said, grinning so much as if he had just won a lottery. He was a guy of average height and cute in his own way.
"Yes... This is the place" I replied.
"You have some letters... Just sign here" he said, giving me a note pad and still smiling sheepishly.
I collected it, signed then returned it to him and in turn, he handed over the letters.
"So...has the sun moved closer to earth or are you always this hot" he smiled, "My name is Elliot but my friends call me El... what's your name" he asked.
"I'm..."
"I'm her boyfriend" Liam cut me off, wrapped his hands round my shoulders.
"Oh!!! I..."Elliot stuttered"
"No problem man but that has got to be the lamest pick up line ever" Liam mocked as Elliot turned and left in speed almost as if he was flash.
"You didn't have to do that to him... You know right? " I said smiling softly and handing him his letter.
"You know me babe... I like taunting people" he gave a devilish and at the same time cute smirk.
"I'll just drop this in Andy's room" I gestured at Andy's letter.
"okay" he said as he lay on the couch.
*******
"Hey!! you made it" Katie said sitting on a Chad's laps.
"Yeah... of course we made it"Liam replied. Everyone was already there. We were the last to get to the beech.
"You'll must have gotten ya letters, right" Katie asks anxiously.
"So whose going to reveal the content of his letter first" Jason asked.
"we could just spin the bottle" Andy suggested.
"nice" Jason said kissing her cheek.
We all sat on the dry sand making a circle. The sun was about setting and this gave the beech a spectacular view. Chad brought a flat board and a bottle and placed it at the middle.
Liam spun the bottle and it landed on Jason. "So which university did you apply to and did you get accepted" Andy asked with eagerness.
"I applied to Stanford University and yes I got accepted" Jason said with a smile on his face. It was clear that his dream was really coming true.
Then, Jason spun the bottle and it landed on Chad.
"Okay I guess it's my turn to spill the bean. I applied to various university because I wasn't sure I will get picked. My grades were low but I got accepted by Springfield state college" Chad said. He looked down but Katie managed to cheer him up in her usual cheerful way.
I spun the bottle and it landed back on me.
Funny right
"So miss Jackie Mayer, which university did you apply to" Andy asked
"I applied to Harvard and Duke but was accepted by Duke University, Durham. So I guess that where I'll be going from next week" I was happy about this fact but was also unhappy that I'll have to leave Liam's house tomorrow.
"That's awesome babe" Liam smiled.
I guess he doesn't know I'll be leaving for uncle Tom's place tomorrow.
The bottle spun again and it landed on Andy.
"Mine is easy... I applied to Julliard and of course... they'll have to accept me. Who can resist such talent" Andy bragged.
It finally came to Liam's turn "I got accepted into Stanford and I also got a scholarship to play professional basketball " he said with a certain gleam on his face. Who wouldn't be happy to do what he/she loves professionally.
"I know it's definitely my turn since I'm the last" Kattie said standing up and arranging hair as if she was about to give the news of the century.
She's really a drama queen
"I didn't apply to any college but sent some of my designs to KM fashion house and guess what... " she screamed and jumped simultaneously "I got accepted and not only that... Karen Marshall herself loved my designs and wants put some of it in the new KM magazine" she continued to jump with excitement but this time Andy joined her.
I was happy with how everything turned out for everyone... We were all accepted into different universities.
******
As me and Liam drove back home in his car, I decided to inform him of my departure to uncle Tom's house in Springfield.
"I'll be moving to uncle Tom's house Tomorrow. He wants me there to finish some legal proceedings and meeting the family before finally going to Durham" I said in a soft tone.
At first Liam was quiet, then I noticed him gripping on to the wheel too tight.
"Are you alright babe"I asked worriedly.
Liam suddenly packed the car and rested his head on the wheel.
"We'll still get to talk to each other every time and meet occasionally... It's not as if we are splitting up" I tried reassuring him.
"I know but I didn't realize you'll be leaving so soon and you didn't even give an heads-up. How am I supposed to cope" he said with his head still on the wheel.
"I sure we can do this... Even if it's a long distance relationship, I believe we can still make it work" I said.
"You're sure this is possible" he said looking at me.
"I love you Liam... More than anything else in this world. After my parents, you are the next in my heart and nothing or no one can take your place. I'm willing to do anything to make this work. All I want is your trust and love" I said holding his hands.
"You know you can trust me and you are the only one that owns my heart babe. I promise not to let anything come in between what we share" He said then slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes and he wrapped his arms round my waist.
Every time we kissed, it felt like our first kiss and this made our relationship magical.
THE END
