His Light (Perryfield Series - Novel 1)

Chapter 9 - End Of Summer

Liam’s POV

After Penelope’s birthday everything went back to normal. Luckily for her no one has mentioned her father. And she’s been pretty good for the rest of the Summer. The weekend after her birthday we went to their beach house. It was only the four of us. We would stay up late, play board games and watch movies. Nelly and I snuck out during the night to go stargazing. The view was absolutely breathtaking. The stars and the moon was extremely bright in the sky. It was romantic. Which led us to literaly have s*x on the beach. Thank god we didn’t get caught. After that weekend we attended a few more parties and we chilled a lot by their pool. Haley and I just got back from visiting family. We’ve been gone for a week and being away from Nelly has been very hard. We would be constantly texting or calling each other. We had just gotten back home about 20 minutes ago. I unpacked my suitcase and put everything away. I ended up taking a quick shower before heading out to see Spencer and hopefully Nelly too. I made my way to my car, got in and drove to their house. When I arrived I parked the car in the driveway, got out and made my way to the backdoor that connects with their basement. I could see Spencer sitting on the couch playing video games. I slide the door open. He quickly turned his head to see who it was. He got up and turned towards me.

“Dude! Welcome back.” We fist pump. “How was your trip?” we both sat down on the couch and grab a remote control.

“It was as much fun as I could have gotten out of this trip. Don’t get me wrong I love my family but it gets boring.” He shook is head.

“Where’s Penelope?” he looks at his watch.

“I’ve been here for a few hours, its 10am, she’s probably getting up by now. Why do you ask?”

“Oh, no reason. I was just curious.” He looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

We’ve been playing videos games for quite some while when Spencer pauses the game and looks in my direction.

“You know you can say it.” I gave him a questionable look. He started laughing and he shook his head. “Dude! We’ve been friends for how long now? 9 years?!” I shook my head. Where was this going.

“I really have no clue what your talking about Spencer.” I was playing stupid.

“You and my sister, I know dude. She’s been moppie all week.”

“Dude! You have it all wrong. She was probably like that because she missed Haley. There’s nothing between your sister and I.” Spencer tilted his head back laughing. F*ck he really does know. I hope it’s not written all over my face.

“Come on!” we heard footsteps coming downstairs and the door of the basement opened up and its Penelope and her eyes are big and fixed on me. Her bright smile appears on her face. Well if it wasn’t written on my face then it is on hers.

“Oh my god! You’re here, Ive miss you.” I’m looking at her strangely and she knows it. She now has a questionable look on her face. Spencer is looking back and forth at us.

“Just admit it.” Nelly looked at Spencer and then me and raised an eyebrow.

“What is going on?” Spencer is now eyeing both of us and just blurs it.

“You guys are f*cken dating.” and he starts laughing. Nelly’s mouth is hanging so low it almost touching the floor. “And here’s my answer.” Spencer points at his sister. I look at Nelly and by now her hands are covering her face. She turns around and closes the basement door.

“Be quiet Spencer.”

“So it is true?”

“Yes but Liam and I wanted to keep it a secret. Ive had feelings for Liam since the first day I met him and to find out that all of this time he felt the same…we deserve to be happy Spencer.”

“Guys Im not mad, not at all. I’m surprised it took you guys this long to f*cken figure this out.” He’s doing a circling motion between the both of us.

“What do you mean?”

“Every time you come over or I go over to your place Liam your always asking for my sister. ALWAYS. And you...” He points at his sister "...if Liam is not here you ask why." she's blushing and I find it adorable. She puts her hands down and looks at her brother.

“Spencer, we’re not ready yet to tell anyone. Haley still doesn’t know. She’s my best friend and I tell her everything.”

“I won’t, Im happy for you guys. Why don’t you guys want to go public?” Nelly made eye contact with me and I turned to face Spencer.

“It’s not that we don’t want too. Trust me, we do. We broke up with our exes and few hours later we found each other.” Penelope was agreeing with me. “Whenever Nelly is ready I’ll be in.”

“As much as I would like to have this conversation I have to go get my clothes in the dryer, get ready for the beach party and get back to Haley. She’s waiting in my bedroom.” Nelly ruffled my hair, grabbed her clothes and made her way upstairs.

“Sorry I didn’t tell you sooner dude.”

“No hard feelings. All good but seriously though don’t ever hurt her.”

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

“Good! We’ll let's get the rest of the stuff ready and the girls and head out to the beach for the party. And we can talk about this some other time” I nodded

“We can take my car. Haley put her stuff in this morning and mine is also in there.

“Perfect” Spencer got up and headed to get what he needed. I tilted my head back and just tried to calm myself down. Pressed play on the remote and went back to the game.

Penelope’s POV

I made my way back into my bedroom where Haley was waiting for me. Now that Spencer knew I only really needed to tell Haley. Everyone else would have to come with time. I’ll try to have a chat with her later on tonight. I changed into my swimsuit and put my dress on. I grabbed my bag and put some extra clothes in and finished getting ready. Took the 2 drinks that I stole from mom from under my bed and shoved it in my bag and added a towel on top of it. Haley went into the bathroom and came back with her swimsuit under her top and shorts. We we’re finally ready and made our way in the basement to meet the boys. They grabbed our stuff and brought it to Liam’s car. To my surprise Spencer let me sit in the front with Liam.

The party was at Carter’s beach house. Him and his family spend their Summers there. Carter likes to host the very first party of the Summer and the last one too. Most people usually tent outside instead of driving back or calling a cab. It was a 30 minute drive and before we knew it we had arrived. The party had already started. There was a volleyball net set up and you had to register a team of four. They also had set up a few drinking games and the best part was the slide starting from the top of the beach house. The boys brought the heaviest stuff and set up the tent for us to sleep in tonight. Haley and I brought the bags down and set ourselves up and laid on our beach towel while watching the guys set up the tent. I took my book out of the bag and started reading. I noticed on the corner of my eye that Haley was looking at me.

“What’s going on Hales?” I asked her while still looking at my book.

“I heard.” I was a bit confused so I left my eyes from my book and closed it.

“You heard what?”

“Everything” I looked at her with a confused gaze.

“I don’t understand Haley, your going to have to give me more here” she looked irritated.

“It’s one thing for my brother to lie but my best friend…” How does she know? “…I don’t know why you wouldn’t tell me. I always approved of you having feelings for him. What? Did you think I would change my mind when you guys would finally date?”

“No” I shook my head

“Then why?” by now her voice was a bit higher. And caught a fee stares from other people. One of them being Taylor.

“Keep it down Hales. We wanted to keep it a secret because of our exes. We wanted to say something but this is all knew to us.” As Im finishing up Liam and Spencer are setting up their towels and sitting beside us.

“Why is your face like that Hales?” why did Liam had to asked her that way. I slapped him so hard on the chest.

“Ouch! What the f*ck!”

“She just figured us out.”

“How”

“Let’s just say you guys we’re pretty loud and we can hear through the vents.”

“I promise we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Just not here in front of all these people.” She agreed and we decided to just have a great day and forget about it for now.

The rest of the day was pretty fun. There was a volleyball tournament with teams of 4 that lasted for quite some time. By the end we had placed in 3rd. Which was still pretty good considering Haley and I don’t do any kind of sports. The guys pretty much carried our team. In between games we played a few drinking games. I went down the sliding tarp a couple times. Carter added some soap to it which made it way more slippery. Haley and I went in the water for a bit and just splashed each other while the boys we’re making food for us. Before we knew it, it was already getting dark outside and a few bonfires we’re build and logs we’re placed around it. A few minutes later a guy took his guitar out, sat not to far from me and started playing Heaven by DJ Sammy. To my surprise I started singing, Haley came beside me and joined in. The guy played a few more songs and Haley and I decided to keep singing. After a bit Carter got his huge speaker out and we could hear it blaring from across the beach. It was around 1am when I felt a hand in the back of my crest. I knew right away it was Liam. Spencer was standing beside him. I lean in a bit on Liam.

“I kind of want to leave.” I whispered so only him could hear me. He also was ready to go. We both only had one drink and 2 shots. That was close to 7 hours ago. I felt Haley nudging me. I turned to look at her.

“Go.” Is all she said. I looked at her and she realized I was a bit confused. She leaned in and now she also had Liam’s attention.

“You guys can go. Spencer and I will be fine. Go spend the night together.”

“Well no, Im the ride.”

“Kyle offered to drive me home. And he agreed to drive Spencer too.” By then we had Spencer’s attention.

“What’s going on.”

“Im telling them to go and spend time together. We have a ride tomorrow morning with Kyle.” Spencer slapped Liam’s shoulder and nudged him to leave. Before we knew it we we’re saying by to Haley and Spencer and making our way to the car.

“I guess we’re going to my place.”

“Sure.” We made the drive home and Liam’s hand was in mine. It felt extremely comforting.

Liam’s POV

I had just parked the car and turned to face Nelly. I put both my hands on each sides of her cheek and started kissing her.

“I missed you.”

“I missed you too. You can never go back on a trip with your parents.” I let out a giggle on her lips. It sent shivers to my spine. I felt the shivers on her has well. I let go of her and we both got out of the vehicle. We started walking towards the back and Nelly was making her way to the guesthouse.

“Where are you going?” she looked pretty confused.

“In here.” she pointed

“No we’re going in the house tonight.”

“What about your parents?”

“They went to a wedding 2 hours away. They wont be back till tomorrow late afternoon.” I grabbed her hand and we made our way into the house. I locked the door behind us and we walked up the stairs. We made it into my room. I opened the light, closed and locked the door. She looked around my room. Almost like she had never came in before. Wait is this the first time she’s in my room?

“You’ve been in my room before?” she shook her head.

“No, I haven’t.” she kept on browsing around.

“Why do you have that look on your face?”

“I don’t know. Im just very impress. Your desk is clean, you have no clothes on the floor. It’s definitely not like Spencer’s.” she giggled. I grabbed her waist and she grabbed my cheeks and brought her lips to mine. We made our way to my bed and our kiss got deeper. Within a few minutes our clothes we’re now on the floor and we we’re both naked. I started kissing her whole body. I could feel shivers on her skin. She was liking it. We haven’t seen or touch each other in over a week and the urge was more then we could take at this point. My b*lge was rubbing against her entrance and before we knew it, it was already in. That night we made love 5 times. It just kept feeling better and better as we did it. By the time we fell asleep it was 6am. I knew our body we're going to be in really rough shape tomorrow but it was well worth it.

I laid on my bed and Nelly rested her head on my chest. We we’re beyond exhausted. I could really get used to her being in my bed at night.

“Good night Liam – I love you”

“Good night Nelly - I love you. I’ll meet you in my dreams.”
