Dates, Dreams and Diapers

Chapter 9

Niall’s POV

 

I shift around in bed when I hear the loud beeping noise of my new alarm clock I had set for 7 am yesterday. Yet while I shift around and try to get up, I feel all groggy and limp. But when I feel the hot skin of a strong and very attractive young man beside me, I’m alert in seconds. I then gaze down at Liam’s sleeping figure and gush at the sight before me. Liam would always deny it, but he had such an adorable look to him.

 

You see, the thing with Liam is that he’s trying to look a bit more out of character than he really is by dressing up and doing who-knows-what so that he get a bit more publicity. Management set this all up for him when they noticed that Liam didn't have any major flaws about his personality, and for that, I always loathed the people that we signed a contract with. I don’t think Liam could grow any older and not have that sense of purity around him, he also gives off the feeling of being a strict father, but he does his best to have fun than overwork himself.

 

“Good morning Li-li.” I say in a little whisper that may or may not be seductive. Sue me.

 

Liam’s eyes do a bit of fluttering before he actually opens them and when he does, I swear the sun shines through the curtains.

 

“Hi.” He lets out as he then pulls me into his side of the bed and onto his lap. I blush at the position of straddling him with both my legs on the outside of his thighs.

 

“Shall I make breakfast Ni?” Liam asks while I try not to explode with the feelings rushing through my body all at once.

 

“Li-Liam, this is a bit...uh...can you maybe...uh…” I feel the heat on my face increase when Liam takes a peek up at me under his short bangs that fell loose when he came to bed.

 

“What, were just hugging right?” Li says like its no big deal, but really, it is. I like Liam, but we never had a talk about becoming serious. Jack showing up as our step-son does put us on a more intimate level, but that also doesn't mean we have to be husband and wife. But don’t I want to be more intimate with Liam? Of course I do!

 

Then why aren't you kissing him ya idiot.

 

A voice goes off inside my head and I, in a sense, mentally slap myself for not being the one to make a move. I mean, there he is, just sitting there under me with a cute morning expression just begging to be kisses. But before I can say anything, I’m interrupted by Liam.

 

“Niall, I've actually been meaning to talk to you about this and about that ki-”

 

The buzzing off Liam’s phone then cuts him off and wakes up Jack. While Liam looks over his phone with an irritated look, I tend to Jack who has started crying at the noise. Despite Jack giving me a helpless look with teary eyes, I smile, hoping to calm him down while I pick him up. My baby clings to me like a frightened baby koala bear and I love every second of it.

 

“Oh…” Liam lets out while I walk over to him and set down Jack on my side of the bed for a pamper change. When I finish and Liam lays back down onto the bed, I lay Jack in between us. Me and Liam watch with adornment as Jack waves around his little fists and squeals with happiness when Liam pokes at one of his ticklish spots. My heart then skips when Jack, out of nowhere, grabs Liam’s nose and laughs like there’s no tomorrow. It’s a bit silly, but me and Liam can’t help but laugh along with our little happy baby.
