Bitter Sweet ~Liam Payne

love her, love her, love her

"Jesus.." Zayn sighs out

"Yeah.. and I couldn't even keep it in my pants.." Liam admits as he sips his beer. He sighs as he swallows the small drink he took then he looks at Zayn and says "Gimme something harder than a corona, mate"

Zayn nods and goes off to his kitchen while Liam stays sitting on the sofa in the unfamiliar living room. He doesn't go to Zayn's house a lot.. but when he does, it's never for a happy reason.

When Zayn returns, he has two glasses and a whiskey bottle..

"pour me a bunch, Z" Liam mumbles then downs the rest of his beer. Zayn nods, pours both of them whiskey, then sets the bottle down and hands Liam his glass..

"To fucking up" Zayn said as he held his glass over towards Liam.

Liam sighed, held his up, and repeated Zayn's words before the two clinked their drinks together then sipped them..

After a few moments of silence, Zayn suddenly asks "How'd it even happen?"

Liam rubs his hand down his face as he recalls the memory..

"I went to the club... and Beth was out with all her friends, including Cassidy.. and this girl, she just, came onto me.." Liam sighs

"Then.. next thing I knew, we were in my bed and I just didn't stop.. I made her leave right after. I shouted and she ran out.." Liam takes a big drink from his glass and hisses as the brown liquid heats up his throat.

"And when she find out.. I somehow had her believing I didn't cheat.. and we had sex and it's like she's completely forgotten about it.. which is so fucked up on so many levels" Liam growls, hating himself more for lying to his girlfriend

"Well.. I mean.. just, don't let it happen again. Right?" Zayn tries to help 

"I guess." Liam says as he swallows the rest of his liquor and reaches for the bottle..

but just as he goes to pour more, his phone rings. 

He gets it out and sees his girlfriend's name flash across the screen.

A small smile comes to his lips and he answers quickly.

"Hey, love" He says, the smile never leaving his lips

"Hey, baby! I was wondering when you'd be home? I'm making dinner tonight, remember?" She said in a happy but distracted voice

"I'll be home in about an hour, if that's alright, love?" He asks sweetly

"Yeah, that'll work. How's Zayn?"

"Good, here, say hello.." He takes the phone from his ear, puts it on speaker, then says "Here, love, say hi"

"Hey, Zayn!" Her voice comes loud through the phone

"Hey, girly! We should all go out sometime! Cassidy, you, me, and Liam. Like a double date!" Zayn tells her

"Sounds like a plan! We will when Cassidy gets back from her mom's. How about that?" She says again

"Sounds great. I'm sur Cass will be excited!" 

"Yeah.. okay, now, I'm gonna go.. I'm about to burn the- oh shit" 

"Babe, are you burning the house down?!" Liam asks in a half joking half serious tone

"No! But I did just boil the pasta water over.. Ugh bye you too! MUAH-----"

She hung up just after the 'kiss' noise and Liam smiled wider to himself..

"See, mate? You're all smiling and funny when you talk to her.. You like her a whole lot, it's obvious and it always has been, and you're not gonna cheat again. Right?" Zayn tells him sternly

"Right." Liam agrees and nods his head..

He looks at the liquor and pops the lid back on then says "I'm gonna go grab myself a water"

Zayn grins and says "Alright, mate" and Liam gets up from the couch and enters the kitchen...

As he's getting a bottle of water from the fridge, he realizes something..

He loves her
