Summer Love 2
Chapter 1
Jessalyn’s POV
It’s September 2015, and Liam and I have been engaged for four months, as have Andy and Niall. I’m four months into my second pregnancy, and I’m having another girl.
As for Aaron, last I heard, he was released from jail in July, but he hasn’t made any attempts to get me back.
Andy and I got into London on the afternoon of September 21st and took a cab to the address Liam had given me. When we got there, I rang the doorbell, which Liam answered.
“Jessalyn! Andy! Come in, girls!” Liam greeted us, embracing me. After we pulled away, Liam turned his attention to the babies. “How are my little princesses?” He spun each baby around in his arms, much to their delight.
Niall joined us in the foyer. “Andy, it’s been awhile!” he said to Andy, wrapping his arms around her. “How did your parents react to our surprise engagement?” A tear slid down Andy’s face. I knew she didn’t wanna tell Niall that her parents had already arranged for her to marry someone else. “Was it that bad?”

Andy’s POV
Niall’s question about how Mom and Daddy reacted to our engagement caused me to start sobbing. I didn’t know how to tell him about the prearranged marriage they’d set up for me.
“I can’t marry you,” I said finally.
Niall’s smile turned into a frown. “Why not, love? Do they not approve?”
“Well, here’s the thing. My parents are very traditional, especially my dad, and they’ve already arranged a marriage for me. I’m scared, Niall! What if I don’t like the guy?”
Niall smirked as if he had an idea. “We could elope.”
Just then, my cell phone rang. It was Daddy. I reluctantly answered, already knowing what he was gonna say.
“Come home RIGHT NOW, young lady!” he demanded. “Acke is waiting, and he’s losing his patience!”
Acke Nystrom is the guy my parents had arranged for me to marry. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, and he’s not very nice.
I hung up on him and told Niall it was a wrong number and that I was more than willing to elope with him.
“Brilliant!” Niall said with a smile. “Where would you like to go?”
“Who’s eloping?” Harry, who was in the living room with Layla, wanted to know.
“Me and Andy. Andy was just gonna tell me where she wanted to elope to. Right, love?”
“Right,” I said. “How about Florida? There’s a chapel in Tampa we could go to.”
“Florida it is, then! We’ll leave in the morning.”
“Okay.”

The next morning, Niall and I flew to Tampa to elope. Little did I know, our secret would soon be revealed.
