Chapter - 5 Liam's Confession

"Oh! F*ck!!! Please, let me out of here! Will you!" Barry yells fuming with anger.

"Barry, please don't worry, I'm here with you. This is my house, our house. You are going to live here from now on." Said Liam holding Barry's trembling hands.

"What?!" Barry shut his eyes while massaging his temples. "Look, Mr. Fraser, argh!!! Barry yells as he is frustrated with Liam. "I am here for work not for your play! Do you get it?" Barry explained, his head is a mess up.

The driver stopped the limousine in front of the main door and got out.

"Yeah, I know, look exactly at your contract." Liam showed him the contract. A ten years contract as a Dance Instructor at Fraser University, Performing Arts Department." Explained Liam.

"H-How did you get that? D-d-don't tell me?–" Barry stuttered upon realizing Liam's surname.

"Ahah, my family owns the Fraser University of California. And the contract also stated that you are supposed to teach the son of the Chairman. And that son is me." Liam laughs awkwardly.

"Then, I'll quit! I will cancel the contract!" Barry is pissed off now.

"H-Huh?! W-w-why?" Liam got panic with his eyes widened in horror.

"Ahh! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Is it fun deceiving me? Is it? Are you enjoying making fun of me?!" Barry's eyes started to sting and mist.

"What! No, no, of course not! ahh! F*ck! Please, I never intended to deceive you. I just wanted to surprise you, please don't cry, I'm sorry." Liam panicked and embraced Barry. Only Barry could make him feel this way.

"I'm sorry, okay? Don't quit, please!" Liam while patting Barry's back.

Barry buried his face in Liam's chest.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Doing, what baby?" Liam rubbed Barry's back calming the man's trembling body.

"All of this, first you took my first night, then on the plane. You made me feel important and being wanted by someone which I never felt with my real family and b-boyfriend." Barry couldn't stop letting out his emotions. He was so done with everything in life, betrayal, deception, and everything that makes his life so f*ck up.

"Sshhh, I promise you will never be lonely again as long as I am here. Trust me, Barry, I will never hurt you. You are important to me, you are a part of my life since that night happened. I will protect you, baby. You can lean on me, okay? Now let's go inside the house, I want to introduce you to my family."

“W-wait family?" Barry pushed Liam a bit so he could free himself from Liam's embrace.

"Yep, don't worry, they already know about you, now let's go." Liam then wipes Barry's leftover tears and caresses his cheeks. He cupped Barry's face and softly kissed his forehead, eyes, nose, and a quick kiss on the lips.

"You're so beautiful, my baby, let's go." Liam then winked at Barry's flushing red cheeks.

"Don't call me baby, it's annoying." Barry pouted

"Okay, honey then," said Liam then held his hand while Barry just rolled his eyes.

They walk holding hands and enter the house.

"Welcome Home!!!" Liam and Barry were surprised." They were Liam's Mom and dad with his cousins, Lily and Jonas

"Welcome back Liam and welcome home Barry." Liam's mom and dad hugged them both.

"Welcome Home Barry, I am Victoria Liam's mother, and this is his father, Charlie. That is Lily and that is Jonas, Liam's cousin." Mrs. Carter introduces them.

Barry was still puzzled but he tried to calm down and replied to them.

"Thanks, am, mam, sir," said Barry timidly.

"Call me mom, not mam, okay? And call me dad from now on." Liam's father butt in

"You can call me sister or big sis Lily, and you can call this idiot." Lily pointed to Jonas.

"Hey, I'm not an idiot, stop calling me that!" Jonas rolled his eyes. "Don't believe her just call me brother, okay?" Said Jonas while he continue bickering with Lily

"Mm." Barry nodded and simple answer

"Let's go and have dinner first so you two can rest early, I know you both are tired." -Liam's mom

During dinner,

Still processing what is happening, Barry stays silent and just talks only when he is asked. Liam noticed his discomfort then he held his hand under the table and kneaded it.

"Mom, Dad, can we go first? We're so tired from the long flight," said Liam.

"Oh, Sure, go now and take Barry to his room." Told Mrs. Fraser

"Thanks, mom." Liam then motioned Barry to stand up.

Liam and Barry left the dining room and went to Barry's room.

"He's pretty, I like him," said Lily after Liam and Barry left the dining room.

"Geez, stop it, do you want Liam to kill you?" Jonas spat at her sister

"Duh! What do you think of me? What I mean is, I like him for Liam and I like him as brother-in-law, you idiot!" Lily growled at Jonas.

"Stop calling me an idiot, do you like an idiot brother?" Jonas roared back.

"You two want knives?" Mrs. Fraser interfere handed the siblings a two bread knife.

"Sorry Auntie," the siblings shut and zippered their mouths while Mr. Fraser chuckles.

Meanwhile

"Baby, why are you so silent?" Asked Liam

"Liam, I was surprised, you know? How do you expect me to react? This is all new to me. I am not used to this." Barry lowered his gaze

"I'm sorry baby, you will get used to it in time, alright?" Liam then pecked a kiss on Barry's lips. "This is your room, come inside.

"You have your bathroom and a walk-in closet. Everything in this room is all yours," in fact; everything here is yours." he thought.

"Wow!" Barry was surprised at how luxurious and big the room was.

"Where is your room, then?" asked Barry

"The one beside this room."

"I see, but." Barry sat down on the soft bed.

"Liam, what am I to you? Why are you doing all this?" He asked.

Liam sit-down beside him before answering his query.

"Baby, you are important to me."

"Important? Why? and How?"

"Because I-I like you, Barry...no! I love You, Barry Carter." Liam stared directly into Barry's eyes sincerely while holding his hands.

Barry feels like his heart is going to burst out of his ribcage because of happiness. He never experiences this kind of feeling even with his ex-boyfriend who was never once as sincere as Liam whom he met just a few weeks ago. He couldn't understand why he felt happy upon hearing those words. Barry didn't realize his eyes became foggy and tears started to trickle down his cheeks.

"Baby, crying is not suited to your beautiful face, this face only deserves a smile, alright? Don't worry I will not force you to like me back, just take your time. But let me pamper you the way I want, let me prove to you my sincerity. Let me love you with all my heart and don't push me away. I'll be waiting patiently until you are ready to open up your heart for me." Liam confession's left Barry in trance. He never expected something like this would have happened to him.

"I'll leave you now, so you can rest, my room is next to yours only." Said Liam and kissed Barry's forehead before getting up to leave the room but was halted when Barry held his hand and stopped him from living.

"Don't leave, can you stay with me tonight? I-I'm afraid to sleep in this big room alone." Said Barry and Liam's eyes beam. "Really? Can I really sleep here with you?" Y-you're allowing me to sleep here with you?" Liam asked repeatedly as he couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, really,'' replied Barry with a small smile finding Liam's reaction too cute.

"Ahh, I'm so happy, can we make love tonight?" Asked Liam shamelessly.

"Forget it, get out!" Said Barry and rolled over the bed.

"I'm just kidding, baby, hehehe…" Liam giggles and then jump on the bed and hug Barry.

"Aren't we going to take shower first?" Asked Barry.

"Let me shower you with my love," replied Liam cheekily.

"You're so cheesy." Barry pushed Liam as he coiled at him like an octopus.

They went to shower together but Barry warned him to not do anything as he was really tired from the long flight.

They change into pajamas and then cuddle on the cozy king-size bed. Liam is hugging Barry like a koala bear, burying his face on Barry's neck and sniffing it. Barry just lets Liam hug him while he reaches for his phone on the nightstand and scrolls on Weibo.

Barry's brows furrowed,

"Hot news, Seth Miller, the young pop idol turned actor, was seen at the hotel with the heiress of the Lee family making a steamy session in the hallway. All his endorsements and projects were canceled, blah blah blah…–"

"Baby, just rest now," Liam took his phone and tossed it back to the nightstand. "Don't stress yourself over such son of a b*tch Ex-boyfriend of yours!" Said Liam.

"Liam? mumbles Barry

"Hm?" Liam hums in response

"Did you do that?"

"What did I do baby?"

"About the news."

"Yes baby, I am the one behind the news, are you angry with me?"

"No, I'm just ah… I feel pity for him because that was his dream to be an idol and actor," replied Barry.

Liam narrowed his eyes and looked up at Barry.

"Oh yeah, and he used you to achieve his goal and popularity. And when he finds someone richer, he just ditches you on the night of your anniversary and f*ck a b*tch. F*cking bastard son of a b*tch!" Liam's litany.

"Barry chuckles at Liam's vulgar litany and hugs Liam.

"Thank you," said Barry.

Liam was surprised but he didn't say more and just snuggled at Barry's neck until they fell into a deep and sweet slumber.
