Chapter 2: The start of secrets and stolen kisses

Amelia took a quick shower and put on a sun dress and sandals, she blow dried her curly brown hair and let it hang down her back and put on some make up. She headed downstairs for breakfast and a voice stopped her dead in her tracks. Liam, Steve and Logan are having a discussion about golf and that they should visit Logan's dad's golf course, it is apparently the best course in the city. Sylvia and Elizabeth are having a discussion in the Kitchen about her graduation. Elizabeth finished her PhD and it seems like they are having a fancy affair.

"Good Morning" Amelia took a seat next to Logan. She dished up some eggs, bacon and toast. "So what is the plans for the day?" Liam asked whilst everyone is enjoying their breakfast. " I think we should go to the beach and afterwards we can have a get together here at the house", "Sounds like a great idea" Liam answered. "My mom will be looking after the kids so we can have the best time" Logan  winked at Amelia,"Lets meet here in the hall in about an hour". Everyone went their separate ways. Amelia went upstairs to go and pack their beach bag. She then went to look for her daughters in the playroom. Mindy and Gabby were busy playing with the dollhouse their grandma bought them. "Hi mommy, did you see how pretty the dollhouse is, it almost looks like grandma's house", "It is very beautiful" Amelia sits next to her daughters on the floor. "Daddy and I will be going out today, so you will be staying with grandma". "Yes" Mindy responds. Mindy knows that when they are left alone with their grandma they get spoiled a lot. " You two behave" Amelia gives both of them a kiss and heads downstairs where everyone is waiting. " We can take my convertable" Liam says to Logan, Steve and Elizabeth will be taking their car. Logan took the bags and loaded it into the car. Liam invited Logan to sit in the front. Amelia got into the back behind Logan. On the way to the beach Liam stared at Amelia in the mirror, Amelia oblivious of what's happening just admired the coastline on the way to the main beach. Liam parked the car and everyone got out. "I rented one of those shaded bungalows for us, it has a fridge full of alcohol and waiters that bring you anything you would like to eat" Steven bragged while walking to the bungalow. There are palm trees next to the trail and water features. At the entrance of the beach is a big clubhouse and on the beach the bungalows are spaced out in such a way that it creates some privacy. In front of the bungalow are beach chairs and each bungalow has its own jacuzzi.

Amelia walked up to one of the beach chairs" today I am getting a tan",  she placed her towel on the chair and took off her sundress, she was wearing a white bikini  that elongated her legs and showed just enough cleavage, whilst undressing, Liam looked at her wide eyed and he could feel his manhood is wide awake. He quickly turn his gaze away from her before someone notices him openly staring at her. Amelia put on her sunglasses and laid down on the beach chair. Logan went inside the bungalow and put down their bags. He grabbed 3 beers from the fridge and handed one to Steven and Liam. Elizabeth laid down on the chair next to Amelia. " He is so good looking" Elizabeth says to Amelia. "who are you talking about" Amelia replies. "Don't act like you don't know, I caught him staring at you on multiple occasions" Elizabeth replies with a teasing tone. " You are imagining things" Amelia said, "Suit yourself I am getting us some cocktails, what would you like?". "A Pina Colada would be nice thank you Elizabeth". Elizabeth went to go speak to the waiter, Amelia sat up right as Elizabeth approaches with the cocktails. "To your PhD" Amelia and Elizabeth clink glasses. "So why did Liam make an appearance now, you and Steven are married for how long" Amelia asks Elizabeth. "Well Liam's wife left him a couple of months ago, they lived in the states and he to this day doesn't know why, so he decided to pack up and come to South Haven to start over". "That is so sad" Amelia takes a sip of the cocktail and thinks about what this man went through. "Liam is temporarily moving into my mom's house until he can find a place.. enough about him let's go for a swim Elizabeth takes Amelia's arm and drags her down to the ocean. Liam, Steven and Logan are busy playing with a ball and tackling each other in the water. As Amelia approaches the water the ball hit her in the head and she lost her balance and fell over, before she hit the ground Liam caught her. "Are you OK" They looked each other in the eyes and got caught in a moment, Amelia snapped out of it when Logan came " I am so sorry honey are you OK", "Yeah I am fine just lost my balance there for a moment, luckily  Liam caught me before I faceplanted in the sand" she chuckled and gave Liam a flirty look and walked back to the bungalow. Liam just stared at her as she walked back "This woman is going to be the end of me".

"It's getting late are we going to head back" Steven asked, " I have a nice barbeque planned for us." Yeah lets go" everyone answered simultaneously. Amelia put her close back on and Logan went to get their bags, they head back to the car. On their way home Logan started talking to Liam about his dad's business. Liam is in the same industry as Logan's father and Logan thought it would be great if he could assist his father with the business since Liam is moving to South Haven.

Amelia just admired the scenery. Liam parked his car and got out to help everyone carry their bags. Elizabeth went to go setup the deck table and switched on the fairy lights hanging over the pool. Amelia was mesmerized by how the fairy lights sparkled in the pool and the sunset in the background , it looks so inviting. Logan walked up to Amelia "Honey, Steven and I are quickly going to the shops for some stuff for the barbeque". "Ok babe don't be long" Amelia gave Logan a kiss. As Logan and Steven left, Amelia took a seat at the table where Elizabeth is setting up. "It really looks nice Elizabeth". " Thank you, I am quickly going to take a shower, will you please finish placing these plates on the placemats?", " Yeah sure" Amelia grabs the plates from Elizabeth and finish placing them on the table. Amelia went to the kitchen to fetch some snacks, the kitchen is gigantic and has a walk in pantry, Liam is busy preparing the meat on one of the counters, Amelia walks past him to get to the pantry, she went into the pantry and grabs some packets of chips, sweets and nuts. As she turned around Liam was standing in the door of the pantry, Amelia drops all the bags, "Do you need help with that" Liam asks. "No I'll manage" she picks up the bags and heads for the door,  she is standing in front of Liam he is towering over her, she looks him in the eyes and asks him to move. Liam looks into Amelia's eyes and moves his gaze to her lips, "You are so beautiful" Liam takes the bags and places them on the counter next to the pantry without removing his gaze from her. Amelia's heart started to race and her legs started shaking. Liam put his hand behind Amelia's head and gently grabs her hair between his fingers. He comes closer to Amelia's face and gave her a kiss, she wanted to pull away, but her body isn't allowing her to move. Liam grabs both her arms and gently pushes her back into the pantry and closes the door. He turns her around and let her back rest against the door, he lifts her hands above her head and holds her in that position and started to kiss her again, Amelia opened her mouth and deepened the kiss. Amelia pulls away as soon as she hears footsteps heading towards the kictchen, Liam quickly goes back to the counter where he was busy preparing the meat and Amelia grabbed the bags and headed out the kitchen flustered by what just happened. She walked into Elizabeth. "Hey, what's wrong are you OK"? Elizabeth looking at Amelia concerned. " Yeah I am fine, think my blood sugar just dropped for a second there" Amelia walked out to the deck table and poured the contents of the bags into the bowls, she took a seat and just sat there reliving the moment in the kitchen.
