Chapter 4
The show was going so well and Chloe looked absolutely stunning and the happiest anyone had seen her in a long time.
“Recently I’ve been thinking about the first time I met you and how enchanting it was,” she started singing the last song of her show,
“There I was again tonight,
Forcing laughter, faking smiles,
Same old tired, lonely place,
Walls of insincerity,
Shifting eyes and vacancy,
Vanished when I saw your face,
All I could say is it was enchanting to meet you.”
She finished the song and took her bow.
When they got back to the house the first thing Chloe did was go up to her room and take a shower. Chloe loved performing and the feeling she got when she was out on stage, but she hated all the make-up and hair product they had to use so her hair stayed perfect while she was on stage. When Chloe finished in the bathroom, she saw Zoey was already asleep, Chloe wasn’t tired yet, so she went to make a hot chocolate and watch a movie. She jumped when she heard a familiar voice behind her say “I hope there’s one for me”.
“Oh my god, Liam you scared me,” Chloe said turning around, “I could make you one.”
“Yeah thank you that would be lovely. I’m sorry for frightening you too.” Liam said sitting down on one of the chairs around the table.
“It’s okay I get frightened easily. So, why cant you sleep?” Chloe asked giving Liam his hot chocolate.
“Zayn’s snoring. What about you?”
“I cant ever fall asleep straight after a show. I was going to watch a movie do you want to join?”
“In a minute, I thought seeing as we were both down here we could talk.”
“About?”
“What you said about me when you introduced Enchanted.”
“Liam, it’s a song about how I felt when I met you, I was just introducing the song. Look, if you want you can make a big deal about it or not, it’s all up to you.”
“I was just seeing if you meant anything by it. But obviously not. What movie are you going to watch?”
“Friends with Benefits”
“Of course you are”
“What can I say, I have a little thing for JT” she put the DVD in and sat on the couch and snuggled up to Liam. She didn’t mean anything by it, it was just comfortable, natural for them. They watched the whole movie like that. At the end of the movie Chloe looked up at Liam who was already looking down at her. Liam moved his face closer to hers and kissed her. She kissed him back until she realized what she was doing.
“I-I-I’ve got to get up early tomorrow I should go to bed.” She stuttered, pulling away and running up the stairs. Liam leant his head over the back of the couch, he knew he shouldn’t have kissed her but he couldn’t stop himself.

When Liam woke up the next morning he knew he had to talk to Chloe about what had happened last night. He went down stairs and found Jess sitting at the table eating some fruit salad.
“Morning Liam,” she said in a cheery voice, “there’s more of this in the fridge.”
“No thanks, I’m not hungry. Do you know where Chloe is?”
“Yeah, she’s at a meeting with her management.”
“About?” Liam asked sitting across from her.
“Costumes” She replied not looking him in the eyes.
“Shouldn’t you be there then?”
“Maybe it was lighting”
“Where is she Jess?”
“She’s out the back swimming laps, said something about clearing her head.”
“Thanks Jess.”
“You’re welcome” she said in sarcastic voice.
“Chloe, can we talk?”
“Do I really have a choice?” she asked getting out of the pool.
“Not really, look I shouldn’t have kissed you last night.”
“No you shouldn’t have”
“But I can't help that it happened and I can't help that all my feelings for you that I had just gotten over came rushing back.”
“Liam, I don’t want to get back with you, I have to think about my career at the moment, and it’s not entirely your fault I shouldn’t have kissed you back.”
“I’m not trying to say we should get back together.”
“Then what are you trying to say?”
“I just wanted to tell that when we were ignoring each other, not hanging out and not having anything to do with each other, I felt whole but ever since we started hanging out again I’ve found myself missing you and what we had, like that piece of me was missing.”
“Well, you’ve got 3 months to feel whole, and then we have to help our best friends plan their wedding.” Chloe went inside to pack ready for the next part of her tour.
