She's Not Afraid [One Shot]

Liam wipes frantically at the corner of his mouth, gagging slightly as a bead of blood smears on the pad of his thumb. He pulls the door open after Louise has slammed it in his face and watches her figure stomp up the steps cringing each time her heels make contact with the wood flooring. Frustrated, Liam throws Louise's jacket to the ground and slams his fist into the white wall of the hall. 

        Harriet appears in the doorway of the kitchen, dressed in her pajamas. Short cotton shorts just under her butt with a tank top that show her boobs tremendously. Liam wonders how Niall can be okay with the way she dresses, although it's pajamas and she could be in the nude like she usually is.

 "What's going on?" she asks. "Comment on Lou's boob size again? Y'know, Li, you'd think you'd learn by now." Harriet has a small smirk on her lips, showing her dimples. "Slapped you too, didn't she?" 

 "Shut it, Harry." he hisses, flashing her the finger before climbing on the stairs to his room. It's locked as he suspected and knocks lightly.

 "Lou." he calls softly. "Open up." 

        There's a thud and Liam guesses she'd thrown something at the door. "Go away, Liam!" she shouts. 

        He leans his forehead against the the cool door, one hand still resting on the knob and the other placed above on the frame. "Louise." he breathes. "Please, just open the door."

        After what seems like a few agonizing hours, Louise opens the door. She's changed from the silver dress the hugged her body tightly to a over-sized cropped tee and her underwear. Liam can't help that his gaze moves over her slim shape and slows down as it reaches her long tanned legs. She's fucking beautiful.

 "I'm mad at you." she states simply, crossing her arms over her chest as she gives him a cold glare. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" 

        Liam takes his hand from the door frame to run over Louise's bare hip bone. A small smirk plays across his lips as goose bumps rise on her skin. "Because I love you Lou." 

        Louise turns her back on him while walking their bed while waving and scoffing. "Please." she says "I saw you checking out that girl's ass and big fucking boobs. I can't believe you're so stupid as to look while I'm standing right there. I'm sorry I can't be as beautiful as she."

        Liam frowns and walks to stand in front of her. He crouches down slowly as he's at eye level and his hand rests on her knee. 

 "Louise." he murmurs. "That's what this is about? You don't think you're good enough for me?" 

        Louise turns her face away from him and Liam sees the tears fall down her cheeks in the dim moonlight that shines through the window. Her milk chocolate colored hair falls lightly down her shoulders, past her chest, and her soft blue eyes close every few seconds while shaking her head. Her shoulders shudder as more tears cascade down her cheeks.

 "That's not true." he states. Liam stands up and pushes her back on the bed so he's straddling her torso. He bends down slowly, nuzzling his nose into her collarbone then nipping at it slightly. "You're absolutely flawless, Lou." he kisses her neck a few times, going back to dip his tongue into her collarbone. 

        A soft moan escapes Louise's lips as her arms tangle around his neck and pull him closer to her. "I love you Louise." he mutters before kissing her. And she believes him. For now.

 "Sorry about busting your lip, Li."

        Niall wraps his arms around Harriet's waist the next morning while taking her orange juice from her hands, She whines in protest twisting  in his arms to face him. The corners of his thin, pink, lips are turned up as he sips at the orange liquid lazily.
