Forever Marked (z.m.)AU

Mr. CEO

Madison POV

I smile from the warmth wrapped around me. Zayn. I sigh in contentment. "Hello." my eyes fly open to see Liam holding me. "I didn't mean to startle you Madison." he says with a slight laugh. I nod my head.

Zayn's gone Madi. Get over him, he's not coming back. He will never come back. He took what he wanted, and now he's gone. He left without another word. He doesn't care about you, get over yourself.

I watch as Liam sits up throwing his legs over the side of the bed and stretching. "Where did your pants go there cowboy?" I ask as he turns his head with a grin. "Pants are uncomfortable to sleep in there damsel in distress." he says he grabs me by my waist pulling me off the bed and into his arms.

He looks down at me with a smile, and presses a kiss to my lips. "How about some breakfast?" He asks as I nod. Liam is what girls dream of sweet, kind, caring, gentle, a shoulder to cry on, and let's not forget drop dead handsome.

We walk hand in hand to the kitchen, as I pass Zayn's room my heart aches just a little. I don't love him. I don't love him. I don't love him. The chant in my head helping a bit. I can't love him. And, I don't.

"What do you want, I'm cooking." He asks and I smile. "Pancakes." I say with a smile on my face. "Pancakes it is!" He says as he wanders around the kitchen a bit confused of where everything was, but it was cute, and funny. "Don't laugh, I'm confused." he tells me as he reaches for the pancake batter in the cabinet.

I shake my head at him. He walks around the kitchen humming a tune as he mixes the batter. He sways his hips a bit at the stove. "Enjoying yourself?" I ask with a full on smile placed on my face. "Yes, yes I am." He flips the pancake in the air catching it on the pan. "I'm impressed." I say with a small clap.

He nods his head placing the pancake on my plate. "I try my best." he replies as he sits across from me with a stack of pancakes for himself. "So you're impressed by my cooking skills?" He asks as I nod, my mouth full of pancakes.

"More than impressed. I am baffled, truly amazed. Most men can't cook." I say as he nods. "Speaking of men, where is Zayn?" He asks as I look down at my plate. "Gone, he moved out and uh, yeah." I say as a tear rolls down my cheek. "What's wrong? Did he hurt you?" Liam asks as he rushes to me, holding me in his arms.

"Come on Madison, let's go lay down, okay?" He asks me, his voice soft and low. I nod my head as he carries me bridal style to my room. He lays me down climbing in behind me. He props himself up against the head board placing my head on his chest as he wraps his arm around my shoulder, holding me close.

Liam grabs the remote turning on the television and flipping through the channels. "What do you want to watch?" He asks as I shrug curling up closer to Liam. He flips through a few more channels before he stops. "The X Factor?" I ask looking up at him. "Yeah, it's a good show." he says as we watch people sing, dance, do magic, and anything you could think of. I looked up at Liam, and seen how mesmerized he was.

As the people on T.V. would sing, so would Liam. It was soft and low, but I could hear him, his voice was beautiful. I grabbed the remote off of his lap muting the show as Liam's eyes were shut and he was singing. It was quiet and his voice full of depth. As he sang the last of the long he opened his eyes looking down confused at me.

"You're a great singer Liam." I say as he blushes. "Thank you Madison. That means a lot to me." he says as he looks overly embarrassed. "Don't be embarrassed, I think a man who can sing is hot." I say kissing him on the cheek. He smiles down at and nods his head. I give him a confused look.

"So I'm hot now?" He asks as I laugh and nod my head. "Yes, hotter than you were earlier." I say laughing. "Listen I was really hot in the kitchen." I shake my head laughing at him.

"You ever going to go back to work?" He asks as I shrug, the atmosphere thick now. "I don't know. I'm mad at the majority of the used to be friendly staff." I say as I snuggle into Liam pushing my head into his chest. "If you burrow any further, I think you'll put a hole in me." he says as he sits his head on top if mine.

"Do you think I should go back?" I ask as he shrugs. "You don't have to, do what you want." he tells me as I nod. "I'll have to go back though. The bills here are outrageously high." I say as he nods. "What about you Liam? You can't miss work, can you?" I ask as I here him laugh lightly, I raise my head.

"What?" I ask as he pulls me back into him. "CEO remember? I can do what I want, when I want. I can go back at anytime." he says as I nod remembering as he talked about his business once. "Oh yeah, I remember Mr. CEO." I say as I feel him smile.

"You could- never mind." he says as I move my head looking up at him. "What?" I ask as he looks down at me. "You could always come and work for me, I could use a receptionist." he says as I tilt my head. "I think I'm good, but thanks. I don't want to answer phones for you." I say as he shakes his head and leans down in my ear.

"Too bad. You'd be such a sexy receptionist. I don't think I'd know what to do with myself." he says as my breath gets heavier, and my heart pounds faster against my rib cage. I swallow hard. "You fascinate me Madison Summers, you do." he says as he pulls me tighter to him.

"When do I start?"

"As I said, you fascinate me. You start Monday, you can quit your job that you're at now, and You will work Monday-Friday, from 7:00AM-7:00PM." Liam tells me as I sit up in bed and straddle him. "Thank you, Mr. CEO." I say as he pulls me closer till we're chest to chest our noses touching slightly. "You're welcome Miss. Summers." he says as he presses as chaste kiss on my lips.

"What would I wear?" I ask as he laughs loudly at me. "You could wear sweat pants and a T-shirt for all I care. You'd still look sexy." he says, and I laugh. "Watch me." I say as I hop off of his lap and run to the closet. "What?" He asks as I poke my head out.

"I'm going to try on clothes, and you, are going to tell me yes or no. It's that simple." I say as he nods. I find a black pencil skirt and a baby blue blouse. I tuck it in and pull my hair into a bun.

"What do you think?"

"Damn."
