Chapter 50

Liam left after I had my breakfast to go to his clinic and resume his work. He has neglected his work for a few weeks because of our accident.

He told me to get ready by eight because he's going to take me to dinner, the one we were not able to do the day I got into an accident. I am so nervous yet excited for tonight. This is going to be our official first date.

I am so excited. I can't keep still the whole day. He said he would text me if it's time for me to down by the lake. He was so reluctant to leave us this morning, and I feel sad too that he will be gone the whole day.

Sophie cried so hard when her daddy tried to leave. That's why Liam decided to bring her with him. He said he would ask his assistant to bring her daughter to keep Sophie company in the clinic's playroom while working.

Sophie has grown so attached to her father, and Liam loves every second of it. I am so thankful he took the news quite well. We haven't really talked about that night. He didn't ask, but I know I need to explain what happened and why I left.

Tonight, I will bear my soul to him and tell him how much I worshipped him a long time ago. I want to know as well why he didn't tell me he had feelings for me. We have so much to talk about, and I don't want to wait anymore. After my near-death experience, I realized life is short and that every moment counts.

It's almost lunchtime. I wonder how my precious daughter and my handsome boyfriend is doing? I grabbed my phone and tried to dial his number. He answered on the second ring.

" Baby, anything wrong? Are you okay?" Was his worrying answer.

" Babe, I'm okay. I just want to check on Sophie and you. I miss you both. It is so quiet n the house, and I'm feeling lonely. Honestly, I just want to hear your voice." I told him in a sad voice.

" Aww, sweetheart, if I were not so busy today, I'd be out the door right this second. Your voice is my favorite sound too, baby. Sophie is doing fine, babe. Don't worry. She is having fun in the playroom with the other kids." He said, and I missed him even more. I don't know why I've become so clingy, but I can't help it.

" It's fine, babe, don't mind me. It's almost lunchtime, Liam, don't forget to feed your daughter and yourself, alright?" I reminded him, and he chuckled on the other line.

" Yes, mother." He laughed. " I love you, babe. We'll be home as soon as I'm done with my last patient, okay? Don't forget to eat your lunch and take your medicine, okay?" He added.

" Yes, dad," I answered playfully too, which made him laugh so loud, and I had the biggest smile.

" God! I miss you, baby." He whispered. " Baby, can I borrow a kiss? I promise I'll give it back." I can hear the smile in his voice and the passion.

" I miss you too, babe. I just want to be curled in your arms right now. Come home soon, okay?" I answered him in a soft voice.

" We will, baby. Why don't you take a nap later after lunch? You need your energy for our date tonight." He teased, and I blushed. Whatever he is planning, I am pretty sure it includes a lot of kissing.

" Okay, babe. Drive safe later when you come home. Kiss our daughter for me, okay? I love you."

" God! I love the sound of that—our daughter. Do you think we could make a son too?" He teased again, and I giggled.

" I love the sound of your giggles too, baby. I better hurry up so I could go home and have you back in my arms again. I love you, baby. I'll see you soon." He said before ending the call. I laid there looking up the ceiling with a big grin on my face.

I didn't think it's possible to be so in love until now. Liam surely does make up for the lost time. He is a devoting father and a loving boyfriend. My only hope is that we will be together forever. Then I heard a knock on my door, and mom came in.

" Sweetheart, I brought you your lunch." Mom said, bringing a tray in.

" Mom, you didn't have to do that. I am okay now. I was planning on getting up and eat lunch with you." I told her, feeling guilty.

"Nonsense, honey. You are still a bit weak. You need more rest to regain your strength, okay? Besides, I heard you'll go on a date tonight with Liam, the more reason you need to rest. You might stay out late, and I don't want you feeling sick or faint." She teased and smirked.

" Mooom!" I groaned and covered my flushed face. She laughed before leaving me feeling hot and bothered.

I ate my lunch with nothing on my mind but the date tonight. I feel like a teenager going on a date with her ultimate crush. Well, basically, it's true. This is going to be my first date with the man of my dreams. I have been dreaming about this moment ever since I realized I am in love with Liam.

I hurried my lunch and rummaged my closet for a dress to wear. He said to dress casual and warm because we're having dinner outdoors. I spent the last two hours trying on a lot of clothes. After finding the perfect outfit, I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After my shower, I blew dried my hair and laid down for a while. Maybe I should take that nap after all. I suddenly become tired after all the excitement. I can't wait for tonight. With that in my thought, I drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

I woke up to a small hand caressing my face and a soft voice whispering, " Mommy, wake up."

I opened my eyes slowly and saw the angelic face of my daughter. She is sitting on Liam's lap sitting beside me.

" Hi, baby, we're home." He said and dipped his face to kiss my lips. I smiled and kissed him back. I reached for my daughter and hugged her tight, and showered her with kisses.

" Hey pumpkin, I miss you. Did you have a good time?" I asked her, trapping her in my arms. Liam is watching us with a smile on his face.

" Yes, mommy. I made some new friends. When I grow up, I will help daddy in the clinic and help cure the babies." She announced, and I felt so proud.

" I'm sure you will be a great doctor someday, sweetheart," Liam told her and stroked her face.

" Baby, I need to go home and freshen up and prepare for our date. You better get up too and start preparing. I don't want you to be late. I will wait for you by the lake at 7 tonight." He told me, smiling, and dipped his head again to kiss me and kiss Sophie on the head.

" I love you, both." He said and stole a kiss one more time.

" We love you too, babe. I'll see you later." I answered him with a sweet smile.

" I love you too, daddy," Sophie said and embraced his father's neck.

" Let's go, sweetheart, let's leave mommy to prepare for our date" He carried Sophie and went out the door. I stretched happily and got up, so excited for my date.
