Sweets For My Sweet

Part 3 - Zayn & Liam

Zayn & Liam:

Liam heard the key turn and set down the ice cream, before excitedly rushing to the door. Zayn crashed into his broad chest, burying his nose in Liam's neck, "I'm so sorry, meri jaan. Traffic was terrible and Vincent refused to let me walk." He looked up from the safety of his boyfriend's arms and glared sullenly at Vincent who rolled his eyes fondly and walked past the boys into the living room, carrying a few bags.

Liam chuckled but kissed Zayn quickly and held him close before stating gratefully, "Thank you Vinnie. I can always count on you to protect my gorgeous and stubborn boyfriend."

Zayn squawked and looked up at Liam in betrayal. Liam just grinned and kissed Zayn's scrunched-up nose. "Happy Valentine's Day Vinnie. Enjoy your evening. We'll see you tomorrow."

Zayn sighed at that and gave Vincent a quick hug, "Sorry you had to stay late Vinnie. Have fun. See ya."

"Thank you again for the chocolates Zayn. Enjoy your evening boys." their bodyguard left with a wave, shutting the door behind him.

Liam whooped and picked up Zayn bridal style and went to the living room. He sat on the couch, holding his boyfriend on his lap. He helped Zayn remove his jacket as he kicked off his shoes and socks. He wiggled his bare toes and settled comfortably against Liam's chest. Liam held him close with one arm and slipped the fingers of his free hand inside Zayn's white Henley, stroking his firm, flat tummy.

Zayn looked in awe at all the amazing things his boyfriend had done for their special evening, the candles, flowers, chocolates. The room had a soft glow from the fireplace and the candles smelled amazingly woodsy and vanilla. Orchids were his favourite flower. Liam was always keen on the finer details, always pampering Zayn and showering him with presents. He was overwhelmed with love and kissed his boyfriend passionately to show his appreciation. Liam came up for air after a few minutes, muttering,

"I missed you baby. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat first or..."

"Missed you too meri jaan. I drank some hot chocolate earlier. Not really feeling hungry. Do you want to eat now or after the presents?"

Zayn peppered Liam's face with tiny soft kisses, making him shiver with the attention.

"I found your tub of mint choco chip babe. I'm not hungry either. Food is warm in the oven. Let's do presents now. Who should go first?" Liam gushed eagerly.

Zayn smiled nervously and slid off his boyfriend's lap, amidst protests, "One at a time." He walked to the corner and brought back the two bags Vincent had brought in earlier. He left the smaller paper bag on the carpet, next to the table. Liam's eyes widened as Zayn kissed his forehead and placed the huge gift sack in his arms, "Happy Valentine's day Leeyum".

Liam peeked into the huge gift sack and squealed in delight, pulling out the gift. It was a giant, fluffy, super soft, brown Teddy bear. It was at least 4 feet tall. He cuddled the teddy with one arm and pulled in Zayn with his other, kissing him soundly, "I love it Zaynie."

"The minute I saw it, it remined me of you my darling boyfriend. You know that you are always my teddy bear" Zayn explained softly.

Liam giggled and buried his nose in the soft teddy, deciding, "It will help us cuddle, when one of us needs to travel". He set aside the teddy, seating it on the corner of the couch and sat next to Zayn again. He took the chocolate box of puzzle pieces and set it on Zayn's lap with a grin, "Happy Valentine's Day Zee".

Zayn tore open the gift-wrapped box and smiled at the chocolate box from Jacques Torres. He opened it and saw the haphazardly placed chocolates. He frowned and looked up at Liam questioningly.
