Beach Day

“HANA!”

Both Hana’s and Edmund’s heads shot up and looked towards where Poppy stood, frozen in shock. Hana leaped away from the wall Edmund just had her pinned to. Edmund quickly stepped towards his sister

“Poppy I swear it’s not what it looks like” he pleaded for some understanding with his eyes but POppy wasn’t going to give any

“Oh really, because I think it’s exactly what it looks like” Poppy spoke coldly and Edmund only stuttered in response. His silence only caused anger to bubble up in Poppy. “How could you Ed” She hit Edmund on his arm, “She’s my best friend and she’s sweet and innocent and you're… you’re… you Ed.” she hit him again,

“Poppy please” Edmund tried to get her to listen but she wasn’t having any of it,

“You have access to plenty of women to mess around with and you seem to take advantage of that pretty often so why her? She is worth more than that Ed, she is a delicate flower, she is NOT to be played with” Poppy hit him a couple more times, “Ugh, not Hana Ed never Hana I thought you understood that” Edmund tried to interrupt her again but she wouldn’t let him, “But no of course not you just had to go there, didn’t you? You had to add her to the hundreds of notches on your bedpost”

“Pops, it’s not like that I swear” Edmund finally managed to say, but Poppy just ignored him,

“You just couldn’t keep it in your pants for one girl, you’re just that much of a man who-”

“POPPY I’M IN LOVE WITH HER FOR GOD’S SAKE!” he screamed. Then the whole room went silent.

“You’re what?” Poppy asked, mouth agape. Edmund looked at her, eyes wide clearly not expecting to have said that,

“You are?” Hana’s voice spoke up from the corner she’d backed herself into whilst Poppy raged at her brother. Edmund’s head whipped back at the sound of her voice and he stepped towards her, Poppy’s presence forgotten.

“Yes,” he uttered softly as he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear before dropping his hand so it rested on her cheek. He tilted his head down until it rested on hers, they gazed intently into each other’s eyes, “I am in love with you Hana Lee” a single tear escaped her eye which was instantly swept away by Edmund’s thumb. Hana sucked in a deep breath and then a grin formed on her face,

“And I’m in love with you Edmund Winterton” Hana giggled softly not quite believing the words had left her mouth. Slowly the two leant into each other until their lips met in a soft yet passionate kiss. Poppy watched on silently. The anger quickly left her body. She’d obviously misread the situation and her brother’s intentions. But he was pretty well known for his “escapades” and her instincts were to protect her best friend. There was still a lot of questions that would need answers but it was clear that something had been going on between the two for quite a while and if they were both happy than she certainly wasn’t going to get in the way of it. Although she would get in the way of their make-out session because she was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable. She coughed quite loudly. The two lovers immediately broke their kiss and they blushed finally remembering they weren’t alone.

“Sorry Pops” Edmund grinned

“It’s fine I am happy for the two of you but could you maybe save the kissing for when you’re alone” Poppy grimaced

“I’m sorry if we made you feel awkward Poppy but it’s just too difficult to resist this handsome face” Hana admitted whilst stroking Edmunds cheek

“Okkkayyy that’s still my brother Hana let’s not.”

Hana and Edmund both just giggled as they both reluctantly stepped away from each other but kept their hands locked together.

“Ok can we leave now I really don’t want to be here any longer” and without waiting for a response Poppy started to walk out of the palace with Hana and Edmund trailing not far behind her.

“You’ve been together for HOW LONG?!” Poppy shrieked

“5 months” Hana mumbled sheepishly. They were in the car driving back from the palace.

“So that means you were together before he left?”

“Yep,” Edmund confirmed. Poppy sighed and sat back in her seat. It was definitely a shock to the system. Her best friend and her brother had been together for 5 months or 2 whilst in the same country and she had no idea. Literally not a single clue that it was happening. I mean why didn’t Hana tell her, well she did physically attack Edmund when she found out so maybe it was for the best she wasn’t told.

“But you… what about all those girls in Japan?” Poppy asked, still incredibly confused.

“Well, there was no girls in Japan. I only said that so you wouldn’t get suspicious of us” he answered, “How could I be with anyone else when I had this one waiting for me at home” he added whilst gazing lovingly at Hana, who leant across her seat to peck him on the lips.

“Okay you two, can we stop all of that now I’m starting to feel physically sick” Poppy frowned but the two kept gazing adoringly at each other. Poppy clapped loudly to get their attention and they broke apart, “Eyes on the road Ed, I’m not dying just because you two can’t stop making heart eyes at each other” she moaned. As much as the couple wanted to protest, Poppy was right so they both sat back in their seats and just about managed to keep their eyes off each other for the rest of the journey.

After a short journey, the three arrived back in Valtoria. Poppy had been, up until that moment, feeling pretty comfortable with her actions back at the palace. But when she got back home reality started to set in. It wasn’t that she regretted breaking up with Liam, not in the slightest but her actions would potentially have larger consequences in regards to her family and her mother would certainly not be happy about it. Hana and Edmund got out of the car as soon as they’d parked up at Valtoria but Poppy struggled to do the same. Edmund gave Hana a look of confusion as to why Poppy hadn’t moved but Hana knew exactly why. She waved Edmund off to go inside and then she climbed into the back of the car and sat herself next to Poppy.

“Don’t worry about her Poppy” Hana stated whilst gently smoothing Poppy’s hair.

“I can’t help in Han, I mean, right now I have no plans of honouring our betrothal, something that’s been in place for 16 years. You know how hard my mum’s worked to build our reputation and if I don’t marry him I could single-handedly ruin that.” Poppy sighed,

“I won’t lie to you” Hana began, “She’s gonna be pissed but, she’s your mother and despite all her faults she loves you to death. So it may take a while but she’ll come around eventually.” Poppy nodded softly at Hana’s words but her face still showed her apprehension.

“Poppy” Hana lifted Poppy’s chin so she could look into her eyes, “You shouldn’t feel any guilt about what you did, it was the best thing to do for yourself, so screw what anyone else thinks” Poppy chuckled a bit and perked up,

“You’re right Hana, you always are” Hana just grinned at the statement, “Now let’s get inside this car is bloody boiling”

Once inside Hana and Poppy had gone back to Poppy’s bedroom whilst Edmund went to speak to his parents about Poppy and Liam’s breakup.

“Ok so I’m gonna need a full history of you and my brother because I’ve only just found out about it and you’re already declaring your love for each other” Poppy said

“Yeh, I guess that can be a little confusing” Hana acknowledged. “Well, about six months ago after my engagement failed we started to get closer. You know I’ve always had a thing for him” Poppy nodded in agreement “And I guess over time he developed a thing for me. I can’t really explain how it happened, we just… I don’t know. We got closer and our friendship developed into something more.”

“Ok then, how come you know you’ve been together for five months then?” Poppy asked abruptly, still a bit annoyed that she was only just finding out about all this.

“Two months before he left for Japan we took an evening stroll in the garden and he confessed his feelings for me and of course I told him I felt the same way and well… that was where it all began”

“And now you’re in love?”

“I really am, we really are” Hana smiled coyly. “I’m sorry I can’t give you a proper explanation it all just happened so naturally. And I was going to tell you but then he left for Japan and I thought it would end, but he called me every day and I actually think it made us stronger in the end.” Hana apologized, a look of guilt covering her face.

“No don’t feel guilty about not telling me, I mean we all saw how I reacted originally so it was probably best that you kept it a secret. It meant you could progress in your relationship naturally. If you’re happy I’m happy and you never know. we could be sisters one day” Poppy winked. Hana instantly went bright red at the comment

“Well… umm… maybe” Hana stuttered. Poppy just giggled she really did love to embarrass Hana. Despite her embarrassment, you could visibly see Hana relax at Poppy’s approval of her relationship.

“Okay now we’ve cleared all that up we need to discuss what you’re wearing tomorrow” Hana commented

“What do you mean tomorrow” Poppy asked suddenly incredibly worried

“The beach party you idiot” Hana responded

“Oh shit, I completely forgot” Poppy was now in full panic mode, pacing around the room. Hana giggled at her antics from the bed,

“Don’t worry, I knew you would forget so you’re outfit is currently hung up in the bathroom” Hana face radiated with smugness” Poppy quickly ran to her en-suite, “God what would I do without you” she shouted through the door.

“I don’t know, die!” Hana shouted back

——————————————————————————————–

The beach party took place every year during the height of the Cordonian Summer. It was one of the rare events where nobles relaxed a little and most of the older more uptight ones just didn’t attend altogether. For that reason it was one of Poppy’s favourite events. Her, Hana and Edmund all arrived together. The set up was simple, the whole beach would usually be cordoned off or at least a big chunk of it and there’d be a few tents where people could eat and sit in the shade for a bit. Usually, there would only be a couple members of the press there, who took photos of a couple outfits and left but today there was a swarm. Poppy knew exactly why. Speculation about her and Liam has been rife ever since the pictures were published and this was the first event they’d both attend since. Every news outlet in Cordonia and many worldwide had come to the party to try and get a glimpse of the two together or apart just anything they could turn into a story. Hana and Edmund knew the press would hound Poppy as soon as she arrived at the party so they decided that it would be the perfect time to go public as a couple to take some of the attention away so Poppy could make her way to the tents in peace. The plan went just as they intended. Poppy was initially bombarded by dozens of reporters but then Ed stepped in front of her and dipped Hana into a passionate kiss that probably went on a little too long but it managed to distract the press enough so Poppy could sneak past and into one of the tents, out of their view.

Poppy sat on a table with Maxwell and after they’d finished with the press, Hana and Edmund. For a good hour Poppy really enjoyed herself she had a few drinks and chatted with her friends. For the first time in a long time, she felt relaxed, truly happy. Liam was there, he arrived not long after Poppy but she was unbothered by his presence. He was avoiding her anyway, quite rightly as she was sat with Edmund and who knows what he would’ve done if Liam tried to speak to Poppy. She really couldn’t care less what he was doing and she certainly wasn’t going to let him ruin her day. The only thing that was stopping the day from being perfect was the absence of a certain brooding commoner. But that problem was quickly remedied as Poppy felt a large warm hand rest on her shoulder. She knew it was him just from how her body warmed at his touch,

“Hey guys” Drake’s baritone voice rumbled through Poppy’s body. Everyone greeted Drake in return and Hana grinned at Drake’s natural affection with Poppy. Drake then looked down at Poppy and spoke a little quieter as it was just to her, “How are you?” he asked with obvious sincerity

“I’m great” she beamed back at him, locking eyes with him for a brief moment, “But I’m absolutely starving” she moaned overdramatically, pursing her lips into a pout. Drake chuckled at her antics

“Well that’s fortunate because I was just about to go get some food, do you wanna come with?” Drake asked

“Absolutely” Poppy grinned.

“Oh my godddd! I love barbecue” Poppy exclaimed as she lifted the lid on a pan of braised bbq beef, “Ugh this all looks sooo delicious” Drake just smirked at Poppy’s intense reaction to the food on offer

“Yeh I thought you deserved a treat after what, you know who did,” Drake said not really knowing the best way to discuss Liam.

“He’s not Voldemort Drake you can say his name, and wait you did this?” she questioned, gesturing to the food in front of her. Drake nodded.

“How did you kno-”

“Hana” Drake interrupted, “I called yesterday and asked if you had a favourite food and she said barbecue so I pulled a couple strings and got you some classic Texan barbecue” he gestured towards the various dishes which were presumably filled with other staples of a Texan barbecue. He was obviously pleased with himself and so was Poppy, it warmed her heart that he would go through the trouble of organising this just to cheer her up a little.

“Thanks Drake, it means a lot”

“No problem Winterton” he smirked again and Poppy felt her knees wobble a little.

After everyone had finished their food, Hana suggested they all go for a swim. Hana and Edmund went straight to the water and Max, Poppy and Drake stayed on the beach and sunbathed. For a while they all stayed silent, just enjoying the summer sun, but eventually Drake broke the silence. He’d had enough of lounging around and wanted to get in the water. He stood and quickly shrugged off his t-shirt before announcing his intentions,

“I’m going for a swim” His announcement quickly caught Poppy’s attention. She sat up and immediately taken aback by the sight before her. She’d never seen Drake shirtless. They’d known each other for the past 11 years but she was still to see him without a top until that very moment. And it was certainly worth the wait. Poppy’s eyes raked down his taut muscles. He wasn’t as carved as Liam but he was broader and still sported a six-pack and had a scattering of light hair across his chest which Poppy had the sudden urge to run her fingers through. A real man’s body, one you could see chopping wood or lugging around various heavy objects. Poppy couldn’t take her eyes off him. She was caught up in dozens of fantasies of what Drake could do to her with that body. So caught up in fact that by the time she’d recovered and had been brought back to reality he was already halfway down the beach towards the sea.

“DRAKE WAIT!” Poppy screamed after him not wanting him to get away from her. He turned back and Poppy realised she had no idea what to say next. She should’ve just said that she wanted to come with him but no she said,

“You didn’t put any suncream on”. As soon as the words left her mouth she regretted it. God she felt stupid he was obviously gonna think she was a weirdo. But instead, he just chuckled lightly and sauntered back over to where Poppy sat. she held up a bottle of suncream which he took and lathered onto his body. It took all of Poppy’s self-control to not drool. Once Drake finished he handed the bottle back to Poppy who took it in silence, not able to speak.

“Happy now?” Drake raised his eyebrow at Poppy. She should’ve said yes and let him go but once again her brain had other plans and instead she said,

“You didn’t put any on your back”. She really regretted saying that. Drake flushed a little at her comment and muttered,

“Well I can’t reach back there, so I’ll go without it. And once again instead of letting him go Poppy had to interject,

“I’ll do it then, sit down”. For a minute Drake stared at Poppy, obviously nervous about letting her touch him like that. Of course it was perfectly innocent but Drake had been feeling things for Poppy recently and now that she was no longer with Liam, he had no idea how he’d be able to control his feelings if Poppy had her hands all over his back. He looked down at Poppy who was sporting a shy smile. “It’s fine” drake thought, it’s a perfectly normal thing for two friends to do it doesn’t have to mean anything. With that, he sat down in front of Poppy and she swiftly got to work on his back.

Her hands glided across his broad shoulders and circled across the firm planes of his back. Everywhere Poppy’s hand touched it lingered, completely overwhelmed by the feeling of having Drake’s body beneath her fingers. Her hands pressed deep into his back as if it were a massage and a subtle groan escaped his lips causing heat to pool straight in Poppy’s groin. They were both completely lost in the feel of each other until Poppy briefly glanced to the side and noticed Maxwell staring at them both completely perplexed. Her hands reluctantly left his back,

“Um, I think you’re done now” Poppy muttered

“Oh is the lady satisfied now?” Drake teased. Poppy didn’t know how to respond knowing Maxwell was watching them. Her silence prompted Drake to turn around, during which he spotted Max.

“Oh umm… I’m gonna swim now” He mumbled

“Yeh me too” Poppy uttered wanting to escape Maxwell’s silent questions

Together they walked to the water in a slightly uncomfortable silence. They swam out relatively far and when they stopped Poppy tried to start up a conversation,

“So nice weather today”

“Yeh it's… nice” they both nodded feeling incredibly awkward. “Oh WOW!” Drake exclaimed. Poppy’s head whipped to the source of Drake’s shock.

“OH WOW!” it was Hana and Edmund, again, in the midst of a passionate make-out session. Drake started to swim away but he stopped and called back to Poppy,

“Come on Winters, I know somewhere we can swim where we don’t have to look at that.“ They swam and when they eventually stopped they were in a little cove where the water was a little shallower and they could no longer see the rest of the beach

“First off, when did they get together? And why can’t they do that in a more private place?” Drake asked a look of disgust still plastered across his face

“Yeh well apparently they’ve been together for five months and they’ve been fucking insatiable ever since they came out as a couple” Poppy grumbled.

“I mean having sex in the sea can’t be comfortable at all I don’t know how they do it” Drake blurted out, aa hint of a smirk on his lips

“Ew Drake that’s my brother and my best friend you’re talking about” Poppy groaned as she splashed Drake with water

“Woah!” Drake instantly splashed her back and she glared at him, “Don’t start something you can’t finish Winterton” Drake warned although there was a hint of mischief in his voice. They were both at a standstill for a moment and then they unleashed on each other. It was a flurry of arms and water. Each were relentless in their attacks on each other and their laughs filled the air around them. At one point Poppy splashed Drake quite violently and Drake coughed and spluttered, also stopping his attacks. Poppy took this as her opportunity to finish him off and claim her victory in their battle she pulled her arm back in the water, lining up her final blow but right as she was about to release her epic splash, his hand wrapped tightly around her arms. He tugged and she found herself pulled up against his chest. She looked up at him as he looked down at her.

“You didn’t think you were gonna win that easy, did you?” Drake whispered. Poppy didn’t respond, her proximity to Drake completely erasing all thoughts of their water fight from her head.

“Poppy” He whispered so only she could hear.

“Drake” she whispered back, communicating everything they needed to know in just those two words. Poppy tilted her chin upwards and softly brushed her lips against his. It was brief like a whisper but as Poppy pulled away Drake moved his hand from her arm round to the small of her back and he pulled her as close to his body as he possibly could and crashed his lips to hers. His lips glided across hers, the taste of the sea mixed with the taste of her lips and he was intoxicated. Slowly the kiss deepened, Drake’s tongue snook past the entrance to her mouth and entwined with hers. Her hands tangled in his hair and his wrapped around her the back of her thighs pulling her up until her legs were wrapped around his waist. For months, no, years everything had been building up until this moment. The feelings had snuck up on them, and by the time they realised they were there they were too strong to banish. They’d come close to this before but there was always some invisible force holding them back but now they’d broken through it. They couldn’t get enough of each other, drunk on the taste of each other’s lips, the feel of each other’s hands. Everything and everyone else was forgotten. Poppy dropped her head to his neck and began to nip at the exposed flesh. Then her hands dropped from his head to his chest and started to venture lower. She’d waited so long for him and she was ready, she wanted to feel all of him. But when her hands connected with the waistband of his shorts he pulled back. So fast he practically threw Poppy back in the water.

“Drake?” Poppy questioned softly, confused as to why Drake had suddenly stopped. Drake looked up and met Poppy’s gaze.

“I cant… we can’t do this” he mumbled but it was loud enough for Poppy to hear. She felt as if she’d been punched in the chest. A tear slipped from her eyes and down her cheek,

“What do you mean?” she whimpered. Drake noticed the tears on her face and couldn’t stop himself from wiping it from her cheek. His hand lingered for a second before he pulled away again.“I’m sorry Poppy, I should’ve never” he cut himself off again, “I should go” he started to swim away but then he turned back, “I’m so sorry Poppy, truely” and then he was gone.

Life - TSS - Tag List Update

So… it’s been almost a year since I’ve written anything new. I’m so behind on choices books, and have been avoiding Tumblr like the plague. Things in my personal life have gotten really rough, but I think things are finally falling into place.

I’d love to get back to writing soon. Writing was a huge help to me, but I ended up in such a dark place that even writing lost all enjoyment for me. I finally got the urge to write again about a week ago. It’s still here surprisingly. I am nervous that things will start going wrong and derail me again.

I still love the series I started writing (The Social Season) and want to actually finish it. The problem is, I’ve been away from it for so long that it feels almost foreign to me. I was toying with the idea of rewriting it from the beginning, and I mean the VERY beginning. With the recent reveal in TRH, it gave me quite a few more ideas. I love the characters so much in the series that I feel they deserve a better plot and writing. The last couple of chapters were thrown together as my mental health was declining.

I’d love to give Eliza, Maxwell, Leo, Drake, and the whole gang a fresh start. How does that sound?

I’m also updating my taglist. I won’t be offended if some of you lovelies want off of them. I haven’t really been that great at delivering new content on a fairly regular basis and my writing probably won’t be fantastic while I’m still trying to get myself righted.

To stay on my taglists just give this post a like, reblog, or comment. On the 10th I’ll update this list.

A Change Of Hearts (Drake x Mc) Chapter 4

As always I would love any feedback you have to offer and I hope you enjoy :). Also the picture of Liam Hemsworth in the photo kinda looks like he’s supposed to be Drake, but he’s not ;)

Poppy didn’t move. She had no idea how long she just sat there staring at the pictures on her screen and reading the articles. It could’ve been hours, it could’ve been days Poppy didn’t really care. Her head was so full of emotions that it was beginning to ache. She was angry at Liam, angry at herself, sad, confused and embarrassed. Now the whole of Cordonia would look at her like some stupid girl that had let her boyfriend cheat right under her nose. She felt like a massive, naive idiot. She didn’t even want to begin thinking of how her mother would react. She would no doubt find a way to blame it on Poppy and then demand she go and reconcile with Liam. But that was the last thing Poppy wanted to do. At that point all she wanted was to eat tonnes of crappy food and drink lots and lots of alcohol all the while drowning in a sea of self pity. The only point Poppy managed to drag herself from the pit she’d made within her bed was to go across the room to her mini fridge so she could retrieve the necessary components for her plan. Then she practically crawled back to her bed and threw herself back under her duvet. She got straight ahead with her plan by flicking off the cap to a bottle of whiskey and opening a huge bag of crisps and digging right in. Unfortunately, her plans were interrupted by a fairly loud and firm knock at her door,

“GO AWAY!” she shouted not wanting to have to interact with anybody, especially her mother who she presumed was the one knocking. The knock sounded again which only infuriated Poppy further,

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” she screamed at the door,

“Popsicle, if you don’t open this door in the next 20 seconds I will kick it down” a deep voice echoed through from the other side of the door. Only one person called Poppy, Popsicle. In a flash, Poppy had jumped out of her bed and was at the door, fumbling with the key trying to unlock it as fast as she could. When she’d finally done it she flung it open with such haste it nearly knocked a very expensive antique vase off of a table nearby, luckily it didn’t. Not that Poppy really cared because she was too busy staring dumbfoundingly at her brother Edmund who stood on the other side of the door.

“Hey kid” he uttered sympathetically. Usually Poppy would have a go at her brother for calling her kid since she was 21 and he was only 3 years older than her but at that moment she was just so glad to see him that she decided to let it slide, just the once.

“Hey Eddie” she spoke softly. He then opened his arms as an invitation for a hug, which she readily accepted. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he wrapped his around her shoulders and she buried her head in his chest, for that moment she let the tears fall that she’d been holding in since she’d seen the photos a few hours prior. She’s tried to make a point of not crying over Liam but being in her brothers arms after she’d not seen him for 3 months made all her emotions rush forward and she didn’t have the strength to hold them in. After a minute or two, Poppy leant back to look at her brother only to notice quite a significant change in his appearance.

“You’ve grown beard” Poppy remarked

“Well I have been gone 3 months Pop” Edmund teased back

“Well you’ve lived here for 24 years and I’ve never seen you with a beard” Poppy bit back a tad smugly.

“I just fancied a change and hey, the ladies love a beard” he beamed whilst stroking his facial hair.

“Oh shut up” Poppy couldn’t help but giggle. She slowly pulled away from his embrace and wandered back to her bed. Perching on the edge, she pulled her knees up to her chin and her brother closed her door and then went and sat next to her. Silence enveloped them for a brief moment. It was Poppy that spoke first,

“I thought you were in Japan for at least another month”

“That was the plan but…” he paused trying to think of the best way to mention the situation

“You saw the photos of my boyfriend and future husband snogging Olivia Nevrakis” Poppy finished for him, not even bothering to hide the anger in her tone.

“I saw them when I woke up and caught the first flight back. There was no way in hell I was letting you deal with that alone, especially with our Mother” Edmund grimaced.

“Thank you for being here, your’re right I don’t think I could handle mum without you and… I’ve really missed you” Poppy conceded, she wasn’t in the mood for their usual teasing. She was just happy to have her big brother home.

Poppy could tell Edmund was angry. His fists were clenched, his jaw tight and his gaze intense and filled with rage. She could also tell he was trying to hide his anger. The two didn’t always get along as all siblings do but they loved each other dearly and were both fiercely protective of each other, especially Edmund of Poppy.

“Honestly Poppy I’m ready to kill the little prick. You say the word and I’ll do it, screw the consequences, if he hurts you I hurt him.” Edmund admitted, his tone firm and clear. It was obvious he wasn’t joking and there was a part of Poppy that wanted to say do it but she knew that was her emotions talking and she needed to sort this herself. Edmund was still tense and clearly on edge awaiting her response to his offer, Poppy put her hand over his and put her other on his chin to turn his face to hers,

“Whilst I appreciate the offer, I think this is something I have to deal with myself and I’d rather you not end up in prison for treason” she chuckled a little at the last part. His shoulders relaxed a little and Poppy sat back feeling pretty certain her brother wasn’t going to commit muder. The two then started talking of slightly happier topics mostly of Edmunds travels. Poppy lost herself in the conversation and started to feel all her anger and sadness lessen until it was nearly completely forgotten.

Suddenly another person burst through Poppy’s bedroom door. Poppy unconsciously tensed, believing her mother had arrived to begin her lecture. But when she looked up, she instead saw a very sweaty, very red Hana Lee stood, hunched over in her doorway, panting and holding a very large bottle of vodka and a large bag presumably filled with a variety of confectionary.

“I came as soon as I heard” she panted, “I have alcohol” she lifted the large bottle in her right hand, “and the unhealthiest food I could get my hands on, unfortunately I couldn’t get those little cakes you like because I couldn’t find them and I just wanted to get to you as soon as possible. I did consider going to see Liam and giving him a piece of my mind and my fists but then I realised my hands are far to small and delicate to engage in hand to hand combat” Poppy giggled as her friend continued to ramble whilst still completely unaware of Edmund’s presence, “so I just came here. Oh and do forgive my current state of dress” Poppy took in her unusually messy appearance. Her hair was all mussed up and she was still seemingly in her pajamas, “I’d only just woken up when I heard the news and I didn’t really consider what I looked like before rushing out to come see you”. Hana then took a big breath signalling she was done speaking. Then for the first time since she’d arrived, Hana looked up to properly take in her best friend but by the way her eyes widened it’s quite likely that was when she noticed Poppy’s brother sat right next to her.

“Oh my god, Eddie” Hana exclaimed, immediately going to try and smooth her hair as a light blush painted her cheeks. Edmund got up from his seat on the bed and walked to Hana who was still stood with her mouth agape completely dumbstruck in the doorway.

“Nice to see you again Panda” Edmund said softly as he took the objects from her hand and placed them on the table.

“Uh… yeh… umm” Hana struggled to find words, seemingly caught in some sort of trance. Poppy couldn’t stop herself from giggling at her friends obvious crush on her older brother. The giggle appeared to bring Hana back to reality as she quickly shook herself from her supor and began walking to sit down next to Poppy.

“Soooo I thought you were in Japan still” Hana questioned demurely still attempting to smooth her hair.

“Yeh I was but I came back to look after my sis” Edmund replied

“That’s really sweet, Ed” Hana spoke softly, looking rather intensely into Edmund’s eyes.

“Thanks Panda”

Edmund sat on one of the chairs near Poppy’s bed. His posture was rigid and his eyes went stern,

“We need to figure out what we’re gonna do about this Pop” you could tell he was in business mode now, if he couldn’t beat Liam to shreds then he would do everything else in his power to help his baby sister though the situation she was in.

“I have no idea, Ed” Poppy groaned, flopping back into her pillows. Hana could tell she was feeling overwhelmed.

“It’s ok Poppy” she soothed as she sat beside her and stroked her back, “You need to speak to Liam, forget the press or the public and your Mother ok?” Poppy nodded her head slightly on her pillow, “this is between you and him, no one else. Except maybe Olivia, but let’s forget her as well. All you need to worry about right now is you and Liam and then once that’s sorted we can worry about everything else.” Poppy sat up and looked at Hana who was giving her her very best “you better listen to me” face. Then she looked at her brother

“She’s right Poppy. You’re gonna have to speak to him sooner or later so you may as well get it out the way now” Poppy nodded again but still looked uncertain. “I’ll tell you what, we’ll come with you” Edmund looked to Hana who just smiled in agreement and Poppy then finally looked on board with the plan.

“Ok, we better get going then”

——————————————————————————————–

Liam was laid on his bed. He’d had a tiring day. Constantine was not happy about the pictures to say the least and he made him spend hours in meetings with members of his team, figuring out how to respond to the articles. He’d then had to endure a long phone call with a very angry and disappointed Drake Walker. Liam didn’t listen to it properly but he could pretty much make out the main messages You’re an idiot, how could you do that to her, how on earth was fucking Olivia worth losing someone like Poppy, honestly she deserves better and other things along those lines. By the time the call was over Liam was exhausted and then he had to end things with Liv for real because the benefits just weren’t worth the negatives any longer but he could do that pretty quickly over text. All he wanted to do was go about his day as normal and now he had to deal with all of this, he didn’t even want to begin thinking of what he’d say to Poppy. Obviously he’d have to apologize but he had no clue of how he’d explain his actions and at that moment he really couldn’t be bothered trying to figure it out an excuse. He decided he’d take a couple hours to relax in his bed and then he’d begin dealing with his girlfriend. Then a knock sounded at his door. He got up from his bed, sighing deeply as he went to the door. It was probably his father, or his assistant, or his father’s assistant, hell it may even be Drake coming to shout at him in person. Slowly Liam opened the door not wanting to interact with whoever was on the other side. “Oh shit” he thought, it was Poppy

Wordlessly she entered his room and perched right on the edge of his bed. Liam quickly followed with his tail between his legs. He didn’t dare say anything, she was obviously deep in thought and he wasn’t going to interrupt. Eventually after what, to him, felt like hours she spoke

“Why?” she asked. A simple question with no simple answer.

“I… I don’t know Poppy” Liam hung his head in shame not being able to think of a proper answer

“Oh wow” Poppy said her voice dripping with sarcasm, “so you cheat on me less than 2 DAYS after you promised me it was over all because you don’t know” she was absolutely raging now

“Uh… Poppy… I”

“You know what gets me the most though?” she interrupted him, “You just had to do it in public didn’t you?. You 2 were just so horny that you couldn’t wait like 3 hours until you were back home to then get it on. Literally everbody in that club knew who you were liam, because you are a fucking prince. So when you are seen playing tonsil tennis with someone other than your girlfriend you are going to get filmed. And guess what… YOU WERE!” she exclaimed, “So now, not only have you cheated on me and betrayed my trust you’ve now completely humiliated me. What a massive fucking mess you’ve made”. Liam’s eyes were glued to the floor. He needed to save this somehow but he had no clue how,

“Im so sorry baby” he muttered, “I’m the worst I know but me and her are done, over. You and our relationship are my priority from now on and I’ll do everything I can to get us back on track” he was desperate now but Poppy just laughed,

“Thats funny because that’s almost exactly what you said the day before you were caught sucking on Olivia’s face”

“I don’t know why I did it I was stupid but we can still make this work, tell me what I have to do and I’ll do it, anything” he begged

“You know you don’t have to do anything” Liam’s face lit up, “Because there’s nothing you can do that’s gonna fix this” she motioned between herself and Liam. “Six years we’ve been together. I’ve offered myself to you in ways I’ve never offered to anybody else, shared things with you I haven’t even shared with Hana and then for the past 2 years you’ve been screwing somebody else right under my nose. Then I asked you to stop. I asked you to stop as your girlfriend, asked you to stop as the girl you’re supposed to marry in a few years and you said you’d stop, promised me that it would just be me and you from now on” the tears were starting to fall, “But then you went right back to her like I meant nothing, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so worthless Lee, so embarrassed, so fucking angry. And you know what? No boyfriend should ever make you feel like that” she took a deep breath to regain her composure, “We’re over Liam, I’m so tired of trying to make us work and honestly I deserve better. Feel free to go and bed Olivia again because you’re officially a single man” with that Poppy stood and went to leave. Liam stopped her,

“What does that mean about the betrothal then?” he questioned

“You know what Liam I couldn’t give less of a shit about that right now” Then she walked out of Liam’s room, making sure to slam the door on the way out.

As promised, Hana and Edmund had come with Poppy. They’d stayed downstairs in the entrance hall, waiting for Poppy to finish her conversation with Liam. Poppy rushed there after she’d left Liam’s room, she wanted to get out of the palace as quickly as possible. But when she eventually reached the hall neither Hana or Edmund were there. It didn’t really bother her, she had no idea how long she’d been talking to Liam so chances were they’d just gone back to the car. Poppy was about to leave when she heard noises coming from one of the many corridors that connected to the hall. It was soft, feminine like a whimper. Then there was another noise. Still feminine nut louder, more intense, a moan. Poppy immediately thought it was Liam and Olivia already fucking each other in the hallway but then she realised there was no way Liam could’ve gotten there without passing her, which he hadn’t. Curiosity began to take over her, she really wanted to know who was in that corridor. It would only take one look, just a peak and she would know, then she could go back to finding Hana and Edmund. No. She couldn’t, it was an invasion of their privacy she couldn’t just go spying on these people it was creepy. She made the decision to walk away. Unfortunately right at the moment she made that decision another moan came from the hallway, masculine, heated, practically a growl. Oh screw it Poppy thought it was just one look. She popped her head round the corner. Ok it was a man and a woman. They were kissing, quite passionately. He was tall, brown hair, muscular and wearing a grey fitted sweater. “Oh my god” Poppy whispered, it was Edmund. Who the hell was he kissing pondered Poppy. She would have to move closer to get a better look, but she didn’t want to risk getting caught. Luckily she wouldn’t have to because Edmund pulled back just enough so she could make out the girl’s face,

“HANA!”

“GO AWAY!” she shouted not wanting to have to interact with anybody, especially her mother who she presumed was the one knocking. The knock sounded again which only infuriated Poppy further,

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” she screamed at the door,

“You’ve grown beard” Poppy remarked

“Well I have been gone 3 months Pop” Edmund teased back

“Well you’ve lived here for 24 years and I’ve never seen you with a beard” Poppy bit back a tad smugly.

“I just fancied a change and hey, the ladies love a beard” he beamed whilst stroking his facial hair.

“I thought you were in Japan for at least another month”

“That was the plan but…” he paused trying to think of the best way to mention the situation

“You saw the photos of my boyfriend and future husband snogging Olivia Nevrakis” Poppy finished for him, not even bothering to hide the anger in her tone.

“I saw them when I woke up and caught the first flight back. There was no way in hell I was letting you deal with that alone, especially with our Mother” Edmund grimaced.

“Nice to see you again Panda” Edmund said softly as he took the objects from her hand and placed them on the table.

“Soooo I thought you were in Japan still” Hana questioned demurely still attempting to smooth her hair.

Chapter 2 - Derby Day

Poppy awoke to the blaring sound of her six o'clock alarm. Strangely though, she didn’t have much trouble waking up, as last night she’d actually managed to have a good night’s sleep. In fact she’d been sleeping well all week. Ever since the ball at her estate and Drake’s rousing and surprisingly heartfelt pep talk, Poppy had been sleeping like a baby. She’d also been living with a renewed sense of confidence and optimism. It also helped that she hadn’t had to interact with Liam or Olivia since that night either. Of course her and Liam had spoken briefly on the phone a few times, often about the arrangements for the Derby, the Derby that was in fact taking place today, but apart from that they hadn’t really talked. Today would be the first time in a week they would see each other in person. Unfortunately media interest in the two meant they’d be spending practically the whole day together, something that would usually be a source of concern for Poppy but today she felt ready. Today she was ready.

——————————————————————————————–

After a good few hours sat motionless in a chair, Poppy’s styling team were finally finished. Her hair was styled in loose, delicate waves half pulled back to keep those annoying strands out of her face. Fashionable yet practical, just her style. Her makeup was the usual simple, glowy look most young nobles opted for and practically any makeup artist could do it in their sleep, but the outfit was where the real issues started. Many days and hours were spent, consulting stylists and designers, scouring every closet in the Valtoria estate. Derby day meant the peak of noble fashion would be on display and Poppy’s status and immense popularity meant her outfit had to be beyond perfect. Dozens of dresses were too tight, too loose, too short, too long, out of season, not traditional enough but eventually after some extremely helpful input from her main stylist/ best friend, Hana, Poppy finally settled on a dress. It was a custom Ana De Luca piece, a knee length dress, fitted at the waist that flared slightly toward the bottom. The sleeves were also flared and stopped just short of her elbows. The dress was accompanied by a matching white belt, nude stilettos and an angular white hat adorned with an array of different yellow flowers. The whole look was perfect for the occasion, it was fashion forward enough to please Poppy’s young fans and the press, yet traditional and modest enough to please her mother as well as every other prudent noble that would be in attendance. Poppy also hoped the amount of leg on show combined with it’s tight fit up top would please Dra- Liam, would please Liam.

Poppy left her dressing room and ventured to the entrance hall of her manor to meet with her parents. Both of her parents outfits somewhat tied in with hers. Her father, Richard wore a fitted navy four piece suit with a white tie and pocket square topped with a large top hat paired with a whte ribbon. Her mother, Elizabeth, wore a knee length, a line, white dress decorated with a yellow, floral pattern almost identical to Poppy’s hat all topped with a simple white fascinator. Together they ventured to the race course. After a short journey they arrived. As expected the press were there in full force. Minutes were spent posing for various photographers and media outlets. Poppy answered a couple dozen questions, most concerning Liam and her’s relationship, which she didn’t particularly enjoy but she managed to answer them in the most sophisticated and vague way. Then she and her parents ventured further into the grounds . Her Mother broke off almost immediately, ever the social butterfly leaving just Poppy with her Father, something she enjoyed much more. They walked arm in arm in comfortable silence for a while before Poppy spoke up,

“So which horse are you rooting for today?”

“Dancing Queen” he responded

“Of course” Poppy giggled softly

“What’s so funny, he’s Bookie’s favourite it’s a smart choice,” he retorted, his voice kind but obviously slightly annoyed.

“Oh yes, it is a smart choice and fits your Abba loving self just perfectly” Poppy said still giggling.

“I don’t know what you are referring to there my dear” Richard said, now chuckling himself.

“Oh hush, I bet you’ve got a killer Super Trouper routine stored up there” Poppy said whilst delicately tapping the side of his head. Richard chuckled heartily but didn’t deny the comment. He then spoke again,

“Let me guess, your going for Marabelle’s Dream again”

“Always” Poppy grinned

A few hours into the day and an hour before the race started, Poppy was now on her own. Her father had by this point left her to talk to a couple wealthy business men she had no interest in conversing with. She was now wandering around the carefully trimmed field with the sole intention of avoiding her mother who had the sole intention of uniting her with her somewhat estranged boyfriend. An intention they definitely didn’t share. Up until now she had managed to avoid the two but then she felt a slight tap on her right shoulder followed by a soft clearing of the throat. “Caught” She thought to herself before turning, expecting to meet the powerful stare of her mother and the infuriatingly charming grin of Liam. Instead she came face to face with a beautiful young woman with long brown hair styled into soft waves, her petite figure covered by beautiful pink dress adorned with matching pink flower decals. The dress perfectly complemented her lightly tanned complexion. Poppy was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy.

“HANAAAAAAA!” She screamed, flinging herself towards her, throwing her arms around her neck. “What? How? You’re in China. You’re supposed to be in China.” she all but shouted into her neck where her head was buried, completely ignoring the setting and the conduct she should be displaying whilst there.

“Well if you could please release me from your hold before you strangle me to death and I shall explain” Hana retorted obviously smirking. Poppy reluctantly took a step back from her best friend. “I mean it’s really as simple as i was missing my girl and I wanted to surprise her by coming back a week early” she grinned

“Well i’m not complaining” Poppy said before smothering Hana in another hug. “Oh I need to thank you for your magnificent fashion advice the other week” she said

“Ooooo yeh, it worked on prince charming then I’m guessing” Hana said back with an exaggerated wink.

“Yeh, room 23 was visited” Poppy attempted a laugh but it fell quite short and her gaze involuntarily shifted to the floor. Hana detected the drop in mood immediately and shuffled out from Poppy’s grasp to look her in the eye,

“Ok what’s going on with you and Liam then” she said sternly

“It’s nothing, I swear” Poppy murmured looking up to sheepishly meet Hana’s piercing stare.

“Ok so it’s Olivia then” Hana said simply and Poppy dropped her shoulders in defeat,

“How can I never get anything past you” she uttered with a slight tinge of amusement

“Because we’ve been best friends for 17 years and I know you inside and out, back to front and whatever other analogies exist that cover the topic” Hana giggled softly before shifting her tone back to fierce, “Tell me everything”. Poppy then recounted the events of last weeks ball up until the point where Poppy came back into the room to find Liam snuggled up in the arms of Olivia.

“That Dick!” Hana shrieked

“Hana!” Poppy nearly burst into a fit of laughter from her usually innocent friends outburst,

“Yeh tell me about it, it caused a full on stage 5 meltdown” Poppy returned still slightly laughing from Hana’s previous comment,

“Christ almighty, stage five so full on mental breakdown” Hana gasped and Poppy nodded before Hana continued, “well how did you recover from that one then?”

“Well I ran out on the balcony and then Drake followed me out and calmed me down” Poppy’s cheeks flushed and the corners of her mouth lifted remembering Drake’s tenderness and soothing words that night,

“Ok then, well that’s nice of him” Hana obviously noticed the sudden change in Poppy’s demeanor but decided to move past it and question it another time as for now she was just happy to see her best friend smile again. Poppy only nodded still half engrossed in her memories. But she was quickly brought out of her daydream by a small figure suddenly bouncing on her from behind,

“Maxwell” she thought. She was correct.

“How are you my young Beaumont?” Poppy questioned not being able to stop the smile from gracing her lips despite his interruption of her and Hana’s conversation.

“Absolutely fantabulous!” He grinned back. Maxwell was the second son of Lord Barthelemy Beaumont, a couple years younger than Poppy so he wasn’t able to attend any of the balls thrown across Cordonia but it didn’t stop him from constantly talking of the “Unbelievable, mind-blowing, earth shattering” moves he would display at said balls when he was finally of age. He had known Poppy for year. Even though it took a little while for Poppy to adapt to his unique personality, they were now incredibly close. “Now, little blossom I have it on good authority you are sat in the royal box today with a certain prince and you don’t want to be late so we’re leaving now” and with that Maxwell grabbed Poppy by the forearm and dragged her in the direction of the viewing stands. She looked back towards Hana silently asking for some help but she just smirked and raised her hand in a delicate wave. So Poppy had no choice but to go along with Max who was now enthusiastically yapping about the horses from beside her.

——————————————————————————————–

The race actually went down pretty smoothly. Her and Liam had managed to have a pretty decent conversation after Poppy had managed to control herself enough to resist his not so subtle advances and ploys to get her to escape the race with him for a few minutes. Also they had engaged in just enough PDA to keep the press occupied for the next week or so and last but most certainly not least she hadn’t had to speak to Olivia. It had been pretty much perfect, the only real downside was that her horse lost but she’d never really been that invested in the outcome of the race she just loved to watch the horses. Now she was stood in a rather extravagant white tent in the middle of the post race picnic. Liam had his hand, rather possessively, wrapped around her waist and she was caught up in some conversation about god knows what with some random noble who’s name she couldn’t bring herself to remember. Eventually he left, much to Poppy’s relief, but unfortunately the relief was short lived as a certain redhead flounced over to take his place.

“Poppy”

“Olivia” The tension was thick between the two but one glance at Liam showed he was not feeling the same tension. Quite the opposite actually. He seemed to find the obvious animosity between the two rather amusing, which of course earned a murderous glare from Poppy.

“Well as much as I would love to stay and chat with you both I’m actually here to steal Liam for a few moments” Olivia smirked flirtatiously and Poppy felt rage start to take over her body. She hoped Liam wouldn’t leave, he’d promised they’d spend the day together and even if he wanted to go with Oliva he needed to be seen with Poppy so he’d stay, he’d definitely stay. He didn’t. He muttered a quick apology to Poppy and then rushed out of the tent with Olivia on his arm. Poppy was now alone. Stood in the middle of the masses in the tent all by herself, he was supposed to be with her but of course he went with Liv, he always went with Liv. Just like the ball last week, just like the derby last year and the regatta and the apple blossom festival and at every other possible opportunity whether Poppy was there or not. Poppy suddenly became completely overwhelmed, her whole body started to shake and tears started to fill her eyes on the brink of spilling across her cheeks. Sensing an approaching panic attack, Poppy left the tent and headed towards the stables. For as long as she could remember the stables had been a sanctuary for Poppy. Her grandfather had taken her riding every week when she was little and her and her father rode often throughout the Summer. She loved horses, and always felt a sense of peace when she was with them so anytime an event got the best of her she would escape to the nearest stable. She’d visited these stables quite a few times at past derbies and visits to the race track so she was quite familiar with the route and found her way there pretty quickly. Luckily the door was unlocked so she snook herself in easily.

“Winterton?” a deep voice echoed through the silence of the large barn, causing Poppy to jump out of fright. Poppy then looked up and met those deep brown eyes of which she was so familiar.

“Drake” she breathed as if she was in some sort of trance before quickly coming back to her senses, “Christ Drake you nearly gave me a heart attack” Drake just chuckled heartily in response. Poppy quickly crossed half of the barn so she was closer to where Drake stood, stroking one of the horses with his large calloused hands. “So what are you doing in here then?” Poppy asked,

“Well I could ask you the same question Winterton” Drake retorted

“Ok then” she took a deep breath quickly deciding to not dump all the Liam drama on Drake again instead using this as an opportunity to dump a couple other issues she had on him instead, “I came here because I was exhausted of all those pompous nobles with sticks up their arses trying to give me “advice” on how to live my own damned life as if they know a thing or two about being a teenage girl who is also the daughter of a respectable duke and the girlfriend of some shitty prince when they’re all fucking old men Drake, old, sexist and boring MEN!” Poppy took a deep breath after her mini outburst, she’d referenced a couple thing that had been brought up to her today before she’d left the derby which she’d almost forgotten about because of Liam. Drake stood for a little while, staring in admiration of Poppy’s hidden temper, he didn’t know it, but he was sporting a rare grin which she picked up on almost immediately.

“Are my eyes deceiving me or is Drake Walker, king of all that is broody, smiling at me” Poppy teased whilst placing the back of her hand on her forehead feigning illness.

“Very funny Winterton, but that was a smirk, I don’t smile, miss” Drake said with a slightly flirty tone and the two stepped towards each other slightly

“Well Mr Walker” Poppy nudged his shoulder, “Deny it all you want but if that was a smirk why could I see your teeth” she raised her eyebrow in question, awaiting a typical sarcastic response but it never came. Instead Drake just stood, eyeing Poppy quite intently, a gleam shining in his eyes allowing a silence to envelop them. The two stood for a while in comfortable silence, enjoying the comfort of each other’s company, POppy running her hair through her fingers, Drake stroking the mane of the horse beside him, who seemed to have joined in on the silence too. Eventually Poppy’s voice cut in,

“You know you never answered my question” Drake only hummed softly signalling for her to continue, “Why are you hiding in the stables?” Drake took a moment to look up from the horse he was attending to before starting,

“Well pretty much the same reason as you, I just can’t stand to be around all those nobles sometimes, I mean you and Liam are great Hana’s nice I guess and Max can be, well … tolerable,” Poppy giggled and Drake smirked before continuing, “ But christ the rest can all be a bunch of, as you say, pompous dickheads always judging me just cos I haven’t got royal blood or some shitty title” Poppy noticed Drake was becoming quite tense as he spoke obviously touching on a rough subject so she placed her hand on his arm as a sign of support and he instantly relaxed, “ I’ve been coming here the past few derbies now, it gives me a break from all of that high society stuff, keeps me sane” Drake chuckled but Poppy just stared at him looking a little shocked, “What?” he questioned slightly concerned he’d said something to upset her

“Oh its nothing … it’s just … well I come here every derby, to clear my head, keep myself sane, as you say, and I can’t understand how I’ve never seen you”

“Well I guess we always missed each other” Drake murmured softly, something about the way he said the words hinted that they had a second meaning

“Yeah, until now” Poppy murmured even quieter looking up to receive and then reciprocate Drake’s wistful stare

Just at that moment, Hana burst through the stable doors panting heavily suggesting she’d ran there,

“Oh good, there you are, Max has just challenged Neville to a dance off and is currently back flipping on the grass. I need help right now, before he causes some international scandal” she said still struggling for breath and pointing in Poppy’s general direction

“I guess that’s my cue to leave” Poppy smiled at Drake apologetically, as she left with Hana, he just flashed his typical smirk in response and turned back to the horse he’d been tending to before Poppy had come in, trying to ignore his and Poppy’s interrupted moment, “Best Friends girlfriends are off limits, Drake” he inwardly scolded himself.

Outside, Hana and Poppy paced towards the scene Maxwell was causing. Hana was eyeing her best friend, she had witnessed the final moments of her talk with Drake and that combined with his actions at the ball a week ago was making her question what was going on between the two and she was making plans to grill her on it all at a more appropriate time. Beside her, Poppy could hear all of Hana’s silent questions. Honestly she had no idea how to answer when Hana would undoubtedly ask her later but that was later and it gave her a little extra time to think over what the actual hell was happening between her and Drake. For now she just said, “Shut up”,that would do. “I didn’t say a word Poppy” Hana giggled. And they didn’t speak again the entire way back to the field.

Oh my gosh! I love it I can’t wait for more! I would love to be tagged:😆

Six Sentence Sunday

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done this but the new chapter, or really the entirety of The Royal Heir has inspired my muse. I’m playing with Liam as my LI, but am well aware of how creepy they’ve made him in the other paths. I’ve had this one nagging idea in my head and talking to @itsstillnotwhatyouthink and @sirbeepsalot about it only fueled my muse. So yes another new series. 🙈 Believe me I know! This one will not be for the extreme Liam lovers because it might be my worst Liam yet, I’m really not sure but the plotting I’m doing ain’t pretty. Please let me know if you’d like to be added or removed from the list, I promise I won’t be hurt if you need to be removed. So here are more than six sentences of a new Evil Liam fic and I’m tagging my permanent tags and posting the series warnings I’m already pretty sure will be present.

Series warnings: Evil Liam, dark, deceit, manipulation, dub con, possible NSFW content. This is taking the Liam from TRH to the extreme, he is not the Liam we know and love. By asking to be tagged you acknowledge you are at least 18 years of age.

There were whispers, and so much pressure after the failed Sons of Earth plot to dethrone him. Liam was a king without a Queen, he knew that soon the people would be demanding he marry and produce an heir. He knew the longer it took the weaker their small country would seem.

He wanted to marry for love. But really he wanted to marry the one woman he could not have. He wanted, no needed Rebecca. He needed her like he needed air to breathe. She had become to him as needed as oxygen to live.

Watching Drake and Rebecca leave for their honeymoon felt like he’d been sucker punched in the gut. It should have been me with her. Knowing they’d be starting to try for their own heir for their duchy only made him snap. It should be my heir, not his. He doesn’t even want this life. He heard whispers that the King and Queen of Auvernal may pay him a visit to discuss his lack of an heir. He saw this as his chance to get what he craved, and he craved her. He couldn’t let her go. He couldn’t let his chance slip through his fingers once again.

@bobasheebaby

Seriously...I’m kind of excited...

I’ve decided to take my ultimate idea and keep Henney. I know I’m usually nice to him, not anymore. Honestly I started writing it and he’s all I see. Good lord.

super-secret-fandom-blog

Omg tag me in this.

@super-secret-fandom-blog you got it!

blznbaby

Yaaaaas! Please tell me he has Kings rights to lay with her. That would be an interesting ass plot twist. I am here for it!! I know. I know. My mind is twisted lol

@blznbaby my mind might be a little more twisted than yours, but yes his plan is for the heir to legitimately be his. Although some of my twistedness I owe to my evil sister @sirbeepsalot yes I just adopted you! Deal with it we are both two evil bitches! But yes this is gonna be very interesting.

katedrakeohd

Liam says, "Damn right I'm the King, and you better tag katedrakeohd in this story because she's very interested."

@katedrakeohd you got it dear! Yea, Liam is gonna be using his power as king for evil. Oops?

Umm yes!!!

Please tag me for this story!

I’m back and... this is awkward.

Hey! So it’s been like 6 months. I don’t even know what to say. I’m so sorry and I wish I had better reasons than “I have been feeling overwhelmed by life lately” but that’s it. That’s all it is. I graduated and started working and it’s weird because somedays I’m ok with it but others I just fucking hate it? But also our financial situation changed so that has been a struggle too and idk, it’s just been A Lot™.

And this whole time in the back of my mind I kept thinking about how much I missed being on here and writing but I just couldn’t??? And the longer it went on the harder it was to get back into it?

But, yeah, I’m back and I will totally understand if no one is even interested in my writing anymore ‘cause it’s been so long, but that’s okay, I still missed writing and interacting with everyone and I wanna finish the story anyway.

I hope everyone’s doing great and I can’t wait to be an active member of the fandom again! Thank you so so much to everyone who sent encouraging messages and kept believing in me through such a long absence! I hope it’s not too late, but even if it is, THANK YOU <3

You’re back!! Ya!! I totally get life getting in the way, I’m just super excited to see what happens in your stories :)

Author’s notes: Hey guys! It’s so good to be back! And with my favorite book! This was kinda hard to write bc Drake is not actually in the chapter at all, but I hope you like it!

Also, happy belated birthday to that super sweet anon who messaged me the other day! Sorry I couldn’t post it yesterday, but you should take this as a sign to keep celebrating ;)

Thanks to everyone who supports my writing, whether by liking, commenting and/or reblogging. A huge thanks, as always to @starstruckzonkoperatorbat, @notoriouscs, @simplyaiden-blog, @snyggflicka, @asprankle, @speedyoperarascalparty, @mirivalencia, @mymandrake, @asobigokoro2018, @krisnicjack and @fabi-en-ciel for asking me to tag them!
