Liam

I finally got to be with Tiffany last night. She likes me and I like her. So I'm taking her out on a real date tonight rather than just a party make out session.

I texted her and told her I would be getting her at six for dinner. And I couldn't be more excited.

"I can't believe him Nicole it was ridiculous! He was being such a jerk. He doesn't understand my anxiety, he didn't even try to imagine how I felt either." I yell into the phone venting to Nicole.

"Well, I know you have struggles with that, but Amber you have to admit you were being a little ridiculous about the whole thing. You had overreacted and that's okay, no one is perfect." She attempts to make me feel better but it isn't working.

"Ugh I don't want to admit it, but I guess you are right." I sigh knowing she won, "I just don't know what to do. It ended really badly. He was suppose to take me out today and we were going to do the session after. And I wish I hadn't had screwed it up."

"Well, you could text him and apologize? Ooh show up at his house and surprise him! That would be cute!" I can hear her smiling on the other end at her own idea.

"Yeah I don't know, you really think so? I mean it's already nine, you don't think it's too late? I don't know I'm too scared! What if he slams the door in my face? I'm so nervous I can't do it." I start biting my nails at the thought.

"Amber, come on. Yes you can! I'll drive you, so if it doesn't work out, then I'll be there to support and help you. But I honestly don't think he would do that to you. Bring your books and you could be all cute and say 'Is our study session still on?'" We both laugh at how lame but clever that could be.

"Okay fine, oh gosh I can't believe I'm going to do this."

"You'll be fine, I'll be there in five." We hang up and I get ready looking the best I can look and soon I hear a knock at the door.

Me and Nicole drive to his house and the closer we get the more nervous I become.
"I keep imagining the worst situations that could happen." I sigh and twiddle my fingers.

"You always do that, you'll be fine." She says as we pull up to the house. "I'll be right here." She places her hand on mine and gives it a shake.

I take a deep breath, "Okay, wish me luck." She does and I get out and walk to the door.

After a few knocks, I hear footsteps approaching.
To my surprise the door opens to a ditzy blonde that looks all too familiar.

"Tiffany?" I shocking ask.
She gives me a confused look, "Yeah, and you are who? And why are you at my boyfriends house?"

Did she just say boyfriend? What? "Uh, this is Liam Payne's house right?"

She gives me a glare and an even more confused look, "Yeah, my boyfriend. Who are you? And why are you here?"

Wow, okay Liam has some explaining to do. I'm suppose to be his girlfriend.

"I'm Amber, and I was here because I wanted to talk to Liam." Just then Liam comes to the side of Tiffany.

"Amber? What are you doing here?" His voice is light yet I sense a slight coldness to it.

"Uh can I just talk to you for a quick minute," I pause and look at Tiffany, "alone?"

Tiffany scoffs, "Whatever. Be quick Liam, I'll miss you." She suddenly gives him a long kiss before pushing him away and walking inside.

Disgusting, I'm suppose to be the one doing that to his lips. But after that I might not ever want to touch his lips.

Oh who am I kidding, yes, yes I still do.

He closes the door behind him and steps out onto the porch with me.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for how I acted last night. I have really bad anxiety and I get so worried about things and I just felt really stupid and I'm really sorry I overreacted so much. Okay that's just what I wanted to say. Have fun with Tiffany." I start to walk off his porch not daring to make eye contact with him, but suddenly turn around getting a whim of confidence.

"Oh actually speaking of Tiffany, what? Who? Really? What's wrong with you?"

Liam just starts laughing, why is he laughing? I'm serious. He doesn't realize how stupid he is going with Tiffany. "Why are you laughing?" I question getting frustrated, even though his laugh is to die for.

"Because you're just funny. Tiffany is none of your business, I like her okay?" I scoff at his sentence and roll my eyes.

"Okay unnecessary, but your apology is accepted. Thanks for coming to apologize, it's okay though. I'm sorry how I acted, I was being a huge jerk. I get like that sometimes. So there is no need for you to apologize." He forms a warm smile on his face.

Uhhhh okay Liam too much too much, I can't breathe over here.

I return the smile, "Thanks for apologizing as well. Well uh, have fun with Tiffany in there," I make a puking face and Liam rolls his eyes.

"Oh gosh, do we have an envious person here?" He raises a brow and smirks.

Oh no.

"No no no no, I just don't care for her is all. And nice job using one of the vocabulary words we went over!" I say smirking back at him.

Okay I think you played it cool, man you're good at playin it cool.

"Whatever." He smiles and I mirror it turning on my heels to leave.

"Wait Amber," Liam touches my shoulder. My heart starts beating really fast.

Oh yes Liam? Are you going to tell me you love me and passionately kiss me? Just like the movies? Please?

"I still owe you an early dinner someday." His eyes smile along with his mouth.

"How about tomorrow since it couldn't be today? Five?" He suggests.

"Yeah that works, see you then." I smile and wave turning to leave again.

Wowwwww he's so sweet and cute and wowww.

I get in the car and close the door, "Thank you for not leaving. I have our dinner and study session tomorrow now! And he's Tiffany is his girlfriend, kill me now." I sigh and pout.

"It's okay. Niall said that won't last long at all. And oh gosh dinner tomorrow yay!" She excitedly shrieks and I shriek with her. I can't wait for tomorrow now.
