Time to Tell

"Okay." Karyssa whispered. They were still looking into each other's eye.

'Is he leaning in to kiss me again?' Karyssa thought to herself. She would let him make the move, after the late 24 hours she was in no way able to make any emotional decisions.

Liam is mere centimeters away.

"You're back!" Cats squeal, made karyssa jump and take a step back, pulling out of Liams arms.

"Um yeah, we just pulled in." Karyssa shyly stated tucking some hair behind her ear. She didn't understand why she was acting so she at the moment.

"Umm. Sorry if I interrupted something." Cat said glancing between the 2. At the same time they said...

"You didn’t."

And

"It's all good."

They glanced at each other.

"Well I'll get out of you hair. I'll see you tomorrow at 8 pm Siren." Liam now stood right infront of her. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "You'll have to learn not to get embarrassed by pda, I tend to like it alot." He whispered in her ear and then pulled back then walked over to his bike.

"Cat is lovely to see you." He smiled pulling on his helmet.

"Wait. Why don't you go get Zack and come back for dinner this evening? We are grilling and have plenty. I want to properly thank you for all your help yesterday." Cat asked before he turned on his bike.

"That's up to her." He stated pointing to Karyssa.

"Well Siren, what do you say want to see me this evening?" He asked with a smirk.

"If you want to come to dinner I wouldn't object." She said, Cat gave her a curious look as Liam started his bike.

"I'll be back around 5, with the boy." He stated before taking off.

"Does he know dinner won't be till 7." Karyssa asked as she turned back to face Cat.

"Don't you dare try to distract me. You may be grown and older than me but I need answers. What happen last night with the truck and between you 2 and you staying the night with him and why he's dropping you off, and why he looked awfully close to kissing you before I came out and what's going on tomorrow at 8?" She rambled until she was out of breath.

"I promise to answer all your questions, can I shower first please?" Karyssa begged.

"Fine, you shower, I'll make coffee and a snack and meet you in the nursery in 20 minutes, if you aren't back in 20 I'll come find you Mark my words Kar." She headed off to the kitchen while Karyssa headed to her apartment.

She started the shower before she stepped in she heard the dreaded ping of her phone knowing it had not been long enough for Liam to be back at the club. It was from the unknown number Karyssa had recently changed the name to Creep.

Creep- did you have a fun sleep over? You can have fun with him for now but you'll be mine in the end. I can get to you anywhere at any time.

There was a video attached to the text. As much as she didn't want to she played it. The video was of her and Liam talking last night, it looked to have been taken outside Liams bedroom window.

Her breath picked up and walked over to the bathroom door and locked it.

She looked around the bathroom making sure nothing was out of place or missing. She decided to call Liam.

"Siren I just left you, you miss me that much." He chuckled.

"I just got another text and it had a video attached with." She said.

"What did it say and what was the video?" He asked.

"You're not going to like this but the text word for word was 'did you have a fun sleep over? You can have fun with him for now but you'll be mine in the end. I can get to you anywhere at any time.' And the video was of us talking to each other in your room last night."

"Are you kidding me?" She knew he wasn't going to be happy with what she said.

"Well the Creep made a mistake. We have hidden cameras everywhere on the property. I'll have Rocky check the camera's when I get back." He said.

"Okay becareful."

She took a quick shower and changed and headed to the nursery with Cat.

She knocked on the door.

"Hang on a second." Cats voice came through the door a few seconds later she came out. "Let's go to the living room, the baby is asleep."

We sat down on the couch across from each other.

"So, tell me everything." She said once we got settled in.

The next few hours Cat and Karyssa sat and talked about everything between someone wrecking the event, the truck, and everything with Liam. If it happened in the last 24 hours they talked about it. Karyssa decided she needed to tell Cat about the text.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you, well show you." She said pulling out her phone, she scrolled to the top of the messages and handed the phone to Cat, who was confused for a second. After a few minutes Cat looked up at Karyssa with worry in her eyes.

"You've been dealing with this by yourself, why haven't you blocked the number?" She asked.

After a few seconds Karyssa spoke up. "Everytime I go to block it I get this horrible feeling like I'm about to make a huge mistake and he's already told me who's the first he would do something to if I did anything or told anyone, but I had to tell you." Karyssa is on the verge on sobbing by this point, but she refused to. There bad been way to many tears over the past 24 hours she reused to give this Creep anymore.

Cat placed her hand on top of Karyssa, "we will figure this out and get through it together." Cat smiled as she spoke.

4:30pm

The rest of the afternoon went on, business as normal. Karyssa spent time playing with Kolton and watching Addy for Cat so she could get a few minutes to herself. While the baby slept Karyssa and Kolton decided to go swimming.

*splash*

Kolton was jumping off the side of the pool, 'cannon balling' as he calls it, when Karyssa heard a car pull up she checked the time, sure enough Liam and Zack came walking around the house, while Pal came walking out from the security building a few yards away.

"Hey man thanks for letting me and Zack come early he wanted to swim." Liam said pulling Pal into a handshake hug thing.

"Not a problem Kar and Kolton are in the pool already you guys can go ahead over." He said when they pulled away from each other.

They walked over to the pool. Karyssa and Liam locked eyes as he took his shirt off. Showing every bit of his tan washboard abs, Karyssas eyes trailed down from Liams to get a good look of his body.

"You know if you stare at me like that any longer, I'm going to have a problem." He chuckled, Zack and Kolton were on the other side of the pool playing as Liam got in and walked beside Karyssa.

"I wasn't staring at you any sort of way." She snippet at him back.

"You sure?" He questioned.

"Fine how was I staring at you?" She asked.

Liam moved closed to where he could whisper in her ear.

"Like you wanted me to take more off." He pulled away from her going over to the boys. Karyssas cheeks were as bring as lobsters.

'Was I thinking that' she thought to herself.

'Of course not.'

A small voice inside her told her she totally was thinking that seeing him in the pool now she wanted to lick the water from the fine god like specimen that was standing before her.

She watched as he spent the next 30 minutes playing with the boys, throwing them across the pool playing with the water toys she had bought for Kolton a few days ago.

She didn't realize Cat had came out and sat beside her on the edge of the pool, until Cat spoke.

"He makes a good dad huh." Was all Cat said.

"Yeah he sure does." Karyssa replied back, not realizing she was staring at Liam this whole time.
