***Carly's POV***
Today was my last day of school so I can kiss this place I call hell goodbye. Graduating high school and then I have three months of free time until I move to England and go to college over there. I was driving home when I heard a song on the radio...Live While We're Young by One Direction. I could have barfed. I'm not one of those girls that love One Direction. I'm one of those girls that hate them. I can't stand them or their songs. Once the song ended I was relieved and that's when I pulled into my driveway and I saw a limo parked at my house. Who do I know that has a limo? No one. I get out of my car and walk up to my front door. I see my dog Rex waiting for me. He comes running to me and I pick up my pug and carry him into the house.
"Mom I'm home." I put Rex down and search for my mom. I walk into the kitchen and I find my mom standing over the stove cooking something. Mom turns to me and smiles. "Mom what are you cooking?" "Oh just dinner for our visitors." "Mom you didn't tell me we were going to have company." "I forgot to mention something this morning, but they are in the living room. Go join them and I will be right in." I just nod to my mom and walk out of the kitchen. I didn't know who was here, but they have my mom cooking. My mom hates to cook. I usually cook the meals. I walk into the living room and I see a middle aged woman and a middle aged man sitting on the couch. When they see me the middle aged woman stands up and walks over to me. "Hello Carly. It's really nice to see you again." The middle aged woman has a British accent. She gives me a hug. "I'm Trisha Payne. And this is my husband John." The middle aged man just gets up and shakes my hand. I really don't know who these people are. "Hello." I didn't know what else to say. I'm really clueless to who they are. My mom comes in and she sits next to me and smiles at Mrs. Payne. "Trish will your son be joining us tonight?" My mom sounds like a sixteen year old hiding something. I hate when she gets like this. "Yes after his show." I mouth 'show' to myself. He has a show? Who the fuck is this guy? And why do I care? My mom places her hand on my knee. I look up at her and she is smiling widely. What is going on? I hear the front door open only meaning my dad is home. Maybe he will know what's going on. Dad walks into the room and smiles at everyone. "Hello Trisha and John. It's good to see you again." My dad shakes hands with Mr. Payne and hugs Mrs. Payne. Okay there is something going on that I really don't know. My dad even knows them. Suddenly the doorbell rings. "That must be Liam." Mrs. Payne gets up and walks out of the room. She walks around like this is her house. I hear talking coming from the hallway, but I can't make out what they're talking about. Seconds later Mrs. Payne comes walking back in with her son behind her. He was tall, had brown hair and was wearing a suite like he just came from an office because his tie was undone. His hair was also messy. I didn't get a good look at his face. Mrs. Payne sits back down next to Mr. Payne and the son sits next to her. The son is staring at the ground, but once he looks up I just can't take my eyes off him. He is hot and has the most beautiful eyes that I could get lost in. When he sees me staring he looks away. My mom nudges my arm. "Honey this is Liam Payne...your fiancé." I think I just about died. Did I just hear my mom right? This boy in front of me is my fiancé? "What are you talking about?" "Honey you have an arranged marriage to Liam." "What? You can't do this." "Carly you have to do it." I just look at my mom and she is giving me a pleading smile and my dad is just sitting there. How could they do this to me? I don't even know the guy and they want me to marry him. "Honey I know you don't like it, but it's the only way to combine our two businesses." "Of course this is all just about your fucking business. Don't you care what I think?" "Give it up princess. You and I are getting hitched." I look over at the son and I just want to slap him. He fucking called me princess like he owns me. I give him a disgusted look and walk out of the room. I hear my mom calling after me, but I don't turn back. I run up to my room and slam my door. I pull out my phone and I dial my best friend's number. Abby is the only one that I can talk to about this. "Ello babe." Abby says with a chuckle. I just sigh into the phone. "Carly what's wrong?" "I'm getting an arranged marriage!" "What? Can your parents do that?" "Yes it's all about their business." "That sucks. Did you meet the guy?" "Yes. I thought the guy was hot until now, now he's just a douche bag." Abby chuckles into the phone and I roll my eyes. "What's his name?" "Liam Payne." Right away Abby screams in my ear. I have to take the phone away until she is done. "Abs what was that for?" "You don't know already?" "What?" "Liam Payne, your fiancé...he's part of One Direction." Abby squeals again and I just about died again. Somebody just shoot me now. I can't marry Liam Payne I will be practically marrying all five of them. I lie on my bed and let out a loud sigh through the phone. "I'm sorry to break it too ya. I know you don't like One Direction." I say my goodbye to Abby and I hang up. Marrying one fifth of One Direction is going to put me through hell and I thought I just left there, but of course I am pulled back in. I hear a soft knock on my door and I just knew it was going to be my mom. She hates it when I just storm out of a room. The door just opens without me even saying for the person to come in, standing in the doorway wasn't the person I thought it would be. I was staring into those beautiful eyes again and of course getting lost in them. He clears his throat and I just look away. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" I just about fell in love with his sexy British accent. "No." That was my simple answer after I just told myself that I fell in love with his accent. Liam just stands in the doorway staring at me. I was getting annoying. "What do you want?" "Your mom told me to get you for dinner." "And when were you planning to tell me?" I see the smirk slide on Liam's sexy lips. Liam just shrugs and I let out a sigh telling him that I'm getting frustrated by all this. Liam leaves my room and I was still sitting on my bed. I swear if I have to marry this douche bag the wedding is being here and I'm living here also. I'm not moving to whatever country he's from. I smile to myself and walk out of my room. When I get downstairs I can hear laughter coming from the dining room. I walk in there and all eyes were on me. I see Liam still had that smirk on his lips. I walk over to my usual seat and sit down. There was no talking until I dished out some food. Then all the questions come firing at me. I am so speechless I just look at everyone blankly. "Carly you okay?" My mom looks at me worried. I just can't believe I have to go through with this. My mom places a hand on my hand and squeezed it. I just pull it away. She is taken aback by it. "Carly if you have anything to say, say it now." "Since we're talking about the wedding..." "Yes go on." Mrs. Payne encourages me to keep talking. I look over at Liam and he is looking right at me confused on what I have to say. I smirk at him. "I was wondering if I could have the wedding here." "Here?" Mrs. Payne and my mom say it in unison. "Yes. I want to have my wedding here...where I lived my whole life." They all look at me speechless. This is my wedding I want to do things my way. I look back over at Liam and he has his face down just staring at his empty plate. "Liam do you have any suggestions?" Liam looks up and stares at me. He has no emotion in his eyes that I was staring into. "I want my wedding in London." I knew he would disagree to this. I just have to fight for what I want. "Well I want it here." "I want it in London." Liam and I were both having a staring contest. I am going to win this battle. "You will be moving to London with me anyway. So minus well have the wedding there." "I like Liam's suggestion." My mom just has to agree with Liam. I just want to slap her in the face. "Who said I was moving to London?" "Sweetie you are going to college over there." "So?" "It makes sense." My mom looks at me with her pleading eyes so I would just agree to all this. But what happens next I didn't see it coming. "How about since Carly is off for three months Liam stays here with her until she has to move to London for college?" I look over at my dad and I smile at him. My dad was always on my side. I mouth 'thank you' and he mouths 'you're welcome'. "How does that sound?" "I love that idea." I say with a smile on my face. Liam didn't seem too thrilled, but Mr. and Mrs. Payne seem fine with it. "I think it's settled then." Mr. Payne spoke up and smiles at me. I look at Liam and he is glaring at me. Awe is he mad that he lost this battle? I smirk at him and I can tell I was pissing him off. Mr. Payne spoke up again. "So tomorrow we will go apartment looking." Wait...what? "Apartment looking?" "Carly, you and Liam are going to be living in an apartment until you move to London coming fall." Mr. Payne just made my night worse. I can't live with that douche bag. I look over at Liam and he is smirking at me. Oh he's enjoying this. I let out a loud sigh and I just get up out of the chair. "Honey where are you going?" My mom looks at me confused. "I'm getting tired. So I think I'm going to hit the sack." I kiss mom and dad on the cheek and wave to Mr. and Mrs. Payne. I ignore Liam all in general. When I reach the stairs I can feel someone following me. I turn around on the stairs and Liam is walking up the stairs behind me. What the fuck is he doing? "Um hello what are you doing?" "Hitting the sack too." Liam just looks at me weird and walks past me. Was the stairs even big enough to do that? I just watch him as he walks to my room and shuts my door. Oh hell no. I run up the stairs and storm into my room with the door hitting the wall. "Get the fuck out of my room!" Liam chuckles and just stands in my room not even moving an inch. I swear this boy is driving me crazy. "Hello I said get out. That means leave." And then again he chuckles. I look at him confused. "Princess I'm spending the night." Liam smirks at me and I am getting all red from my anger. I swear I could see the steam coming out of my ears. "So do you want the bed or the floor? Or we both can sleep on the bed." The smirk never leaving his lips. "You can spend the night in someone else's room. Not mine." "That's not what your parents said." I try to calm myself down, but everything he says is just making me angrier. Liam is still smirking at me and I just want to slap that smirk away. "Am I bothering you?" "You're pissing me off." "Good." Liam lies on my bed and makes himself comfortable. "You like pissing me off?" "You pissed me off by making me stay here for three months." "Is it really going to kill you to stay here with your fiancé?" "If I don't kill you first." Liam smirks again and I just give him a death glare. "Now princess just turn off the lights so we can get it on." "What?" "You know that thing that two people do when their alone in a room-" I punch him hard in the stomach just to make him stop talking about doing it. I'm still a virgin and I want to keep it that way. Liam looks at me surprised at what I did, but it didn't hurt him at all. Actually it hurt my hand. Liam grabs my wrist and pulls me on top of him. I gulp. "If you wanted me to stop talking all you had to do was kiss me." I just stare into his eyes and I could see myself in them. I can feel him move closer to me, but I get off him fast. "I will take the floor." "Suit yourself." I sigh in response. I grab a pillow and blanket and just get on the floor. When I get up tomorrow he better be gone.
