***Carly's POV***

I am woken up by the sun shining through my bedroom window. Yes I'm at my house instead of the apartment. I didn't feel right being there all alone. I stretch out my arms and yawn. It has been two days since Liam left and I haven't gotten a phone call or text from him. Not like I really care. I don't even like him. If I don't like him then why do I have this sharp pain in my chest whenever I think about him? I push it aside and get out of bed. I open the door and I just head downstairs. I know my parents are both at work so I have the house to myself. Once I reach the last step Rex comes running to me. I smile down at him and pick him up. He is licking my face and I can't help but laugh. I put Rex down and he runs into the kitchen. He probably wants a treat now. I follow him and when I step into the kitchen I stop dead in my tracks. I see Liam sitting at the table reading something. He doesn't know I'm in here. I tip toe over to him...
    "You know I can hear you." I stop and sigh. Liam looks up with no emotion in his eyes. I don't even get a good morning. He goes back to looking at a magazine and I walk to the refrigerator. I pull out the orange juice and pour myself a cup. I turn around to walk to the table when I run into something hard. I look up and Liam is standing in front of me. I must have ran into his chest. Suddenly my cheeks are turning red. Liam smirks at me and I just look away. I can't believe I'm actually blushing. Then it occurs to me...
    "Liam what are you doing here?" I ask looking back at him. He steps away from me and that's when I take the chance to walk to the table. I sit down, but Liam is still standing at the counter. I guess he's not going to answer my question. "You know what forget it. I don't want to know." I get up from the table and walk out of the kitchen.
    "Carly wait." I don't stop.  I just keep walking to the living room. I just need to get away from him. "Carly will you please let me talk." I turn around and Liam is standing behind me.
    I sigh. "Fine talk." Really I don't want to hear it, but then I remembered the text he sent me two days ago. I can't help but smile.
    "I know I wasn't supposed to be back until Monday, but my mum called me and..." Wait he's acting funny.
    "What's going on Liam?" I am getting annoyed.
    "My mum wants to get together with us to talk about the wedding." Liam is talking so fast that I am just looking at him confused. Then everything hit me like a ton of bricks.
    "The wedding." That's all that comes out of my mouth. I know Liam doesn't want to marry me and I don't want to marry him, but the wedding is in three months.
    "Yes. So my mum is stopping by in thirty minutes." When Liam says that I starts panicking. I look at myself and I am in my pajamas. I squeal and right away run up the stairs. What am I going to wear? All my clothes are at the apartment.
    "Princess what's wrong?" I turn around and look at him nervous.
    "I have nothing to wear." I blush when I tell him and I stare at the ground. Suddenly Liam places a hand under my chin and pulls my chin up so I am looking at him.
    "Don't worry Princess." Liam lets go of my chin and steps back. I raise my eyebrows at him in confusion. Then my mouth drops open when Liam takes of his sweatshirt in front of me. His shirt rides up so I get to see a glimpse of his sexy chest, but he automatically pulls his shirt back down. Liam throws the sweatshirt at me.
   "What am I doing with this?" I am completely clueless.
    "Wear it." Liam gives a duh expression. I nod. Without thinking I take off my shirt and I am standing in front of Liam with my shirt off. I happen to look at him before I put the sweatshirt on and he is just staring at me. I put the sweatshirt over my head and it comes down midthigh. I look up at Liam and he is still looking at me. I cough and that makes him look away. I think I see his cheeks turn a little red and that makes me smile.
    "I'm guessing you like it on me." I snicker and Liam looks back at me with narrowing eyes.
    "It looks..." I can tell he is trying to think of a bad comment, but he doesn't think of anything.
    "You look sexy in it." I am speechless when he says that. He is joking; he gotta be. Liam takes a step closer to me and I can see a smirk forming on his lips. He knows his comment is affecting me. Liam grabs my hand and brushes the whole way up my arm and places his hand on the back of my neck. My breathing is getting harder. How can he have this effect on me? Liam pulls me closer to him that I can feel his breath on my face.
    "L-Liam y-your m-mom c-could b-be h-here a-any m-minute." Why am I stuttering? Liam chuckles at my stuttering, but that doesn't stop him from pressing his lips to mine. Liam kisses me nice and slow then all of a sudden my back hits the wall and Liam starts kissing me harder. My one hand is on his shoulder while my other is tugging on his hair. Liam lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. Liam places his hands on my ass and our bodies start grinding against each other. Liam moves his hands from my ass and move them under the sweatshirt. He starts moving up and he is about to touch... The doorbell rings and Liam stops kissing me. He places me back on the floor and I have to straighten myself up. Liam tugs on my hand and pulls me out of the room. The doorbell rings again.
   Once we get to the door Liam opens it. Standing there is a smiling Mrs. Payne. She walks in and right away kisses her son and hugs me. When she sees that I am wearing his sweatshirt she narrows her eyes at Liam. Liam raises his hands in surrender.
    "Mrs. Payne I had nothing else to wear." I spoke first so Liam wouldn't have to explain. Mrs. Payne looks at me with a smile.
    "Is that true Liam?" Mrs. Payne asks and she seems amused to hear the answer.
    "Yes." Liam looks at me and actually smiles. I smile back and grab for his hand. Mrs. Payne walks further into my house and that's when I shut the door. Liam pulls me along and we walk into the living room. Mrs. Payne is sitting on the couch while Liam and I sit on the other.
    "So Liam how was your trip to New York?" Liam looks surprised that she is asking about that. I just squeeze his hand.
    "It was good I guess." Liam doesn't look at me and he lets go of my hand. What's wrong now?
   "Let's get this wedding planning started shall we?" Mrs. Payne is smiling at us and I am just looking at Liam. He's hiding something and it's bad when I think his mother knows.
