They Don't Know About Us (A Liam Payne Story)

Chapter 1- Hecktic Preparations

"She's fangirling again!!" I heard Becca screaming while she walked quickly towards me.

"What is it??!" I asked her in very distracted tone as I was too busy minding my own Twitter business...

Looking up from my phone I realize that she had one of her old One Direction posters in her hand. "Why do you have that? Don't you realize Zayn might just barge in here and flip out at you??!!" Sighing, I put my phone down, but regreted it instantly, as it began to ring... 

"Ello?" a very familiar voice, soft & gentle, on the other line.

"Hi!!!" I say in a very excited tone.

"Heyy Myriam..." I hear Liam say, with a very suspicious tone in his voice now.

My gaze switches to Becca & Heather having a little fit about a poster, I giggle and Liam catches on. "What's so funny?" he says, sounding fakely upset. "Nothing... Just Becca and Heather again, having their fits..."

I instinctively move my phone a little bit away from my mouth to shout. "Stop that Heather!!! Harry isn''t gonna want to sing that again!!" At a very giddy-looking blonde girl, who's my best friend, who's holding one of her most prized possessions: the One Direction poster that Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn signed the first time Becca & Heather went to meet the boys...

An event, that I missed due to a freaking mid-term exam... The sole reason for which I hate going to school on night shifts, I don't have the afternoon to myself anymore, its school, school, school, and I missed the FIRST One Direction meet & greet, the first time they were in New york, the first time they signed everything from posters, to arms... in a building that was a block away from school... while I was doing a freaking mid-term! But oh well... I got the chance about two months later, during winter break to make that up... which led us to where we are now, Becca dating Niall Horan, yes THE Niall Horan, Heather dating Mr. Harold Styles, and me, well... I get to be with "The Payne" as fans call Liam now more than ever... since the papparatzi got a picture of us snogging at a Starbucks in London a month ago.... and so here we are, in my new house iin the middle of Times Square, Heather getting back to her fangirling days, Becca trying to calm her down, and me on the phone with my boyfriend.

"Why are you laughing?" Liam snaps me back to my senses...

"Heather brought out the poster, y'know? THE poster.... hint hint, she's going insane waiting for Harry." I laughed.

Liam joined in. "Wow... I don't wanna see that poster again when I get there, alright? I'm such a fetus in that picture! And Harry is going to have a laughing fit if he sees it!"

"Don't worry Leeyuumm, you'll be ok... and I'll tell the bad Heather to put it away now, alright?" I mock a child's voice as I hear Liam chuckling.

"Shut it Meeeeriam!!" I hear his laugh again. It makes me happy to hear his laugh, I must say.

"Alright alright!!!" I laugh along with him, and then my eyes flicker to Becca who's apparently getting  dolled up in a nearby mirror. "You going out with Niall already Becca??"

"Yepp!" I hear her voice, happy as ever.

"You look sexy girrrl!!" I shout, smiling, then speaking into my phone again.. "James-babe, guess I'll be going now, I'm going to get ready before Zayn gets here, ok?"

"Yeah... Alright.. worry about Zayn... Not your own boyfriend." his tone sounding vaguely jealous.

"Liam. I am not worrying about anyone, whose name isn't Liam James Payne. Ok? So chill..."

"Alright alright, I'm sorry, babe.... and I'll see you tonight. . Oh, and before I forget, Harry is on his way over there, so tell Heather to please calm down, relax and get ready cos her man is coming over now." Liiam chuckles while scoffing. "Harry's words, not mine, kay?" 

"I realized as soon as you said -relax and get ready- Liam..." I said, letting out a soft giggle, then looking at Heather, I said, "Yoo! Your man's comin' over, Heather, go fix your hair before he messes it up for ya! And Becca, the door has been ringing for five minutes, and its starting to get a very rhythmical tone to it, so I think that's Louis..." I sighed, Liam just listened in, waiting for my goodbye.

"Damn", I hear Liam sigh.

"What's wrong Liam??" I asked, knowing him, that tone in his voice wasn't right.

"Are you stressed, Myriam? Or excited at all about tonight?"

I let out a very long sigh, "I am more excited than anything, but I am getting a bit stressed... I need to get ready, and Zayn is not here yet.... HI LOU!! Sorry, he just came in the kitchen, accompanied by Niall.... Hey..."

Liam's voice became louder "I wish I was there!!!"

"I wish I was with you too... can't wait to see you y'know? I got a new dress for tonight... " while I smile, I feel the red rush to my cheeks.

"She's blushing by the way." Louis says into my phone, snickering.

"Louis, mind your own business...." I say, jumping out of my seat at the sight of Zayn walking through the door. "Finally!!!! Imma go get ready!! Becca, you should feed Niall or somethin'... he's in the fridge again." I laughed a bit, Zayn handed me a note, I read it... An address to a luxury restaurant, with reservations for ten people.

Then returning to my phone, "Babeee, I love this!! Zayn had the address? Why'd you give it to Zayn?"

"Becauseee I thought he'd be the best man to handle that type of note." Liam chuckles on the other line, making me giggle.

"Well, its a perfect place to spend the evening I'd say..." at this point, I am smiling at my phone like a dork, walking to my room.

Now walking past Becca and Niall, who are now snogging in the hallway... Heather standing in front of a mirror, fixing her hair, accompanied by a very annoying Louis who keeps messing up her hair earning a few hits on the shoulder on Heather's part, as Harry walks in... Heather runs up to him, I wave, Becca and Niall ignoring everyone... and Zayn on the couch calling Perrie and shouting at Louis to call Eleanor... While I am not caring at all about a thing, except spending New Year's Eve with the man I love... and our eight best friends...
