I'll always want you!

~*Chapter 53: Liam*~

Niall was in heaven with Grams in the kitchen Saturday morning. My heart was racing just watching him learn everything Grams was teaching him about how to cook the perfect Turkey as well as how to make a homemade pumpkin pie.

I walked down to the stable to find Louis saddling up Fire Star.

"You're going for a ride?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going to head out and clear my head. Maybe take a ride and check out that property again. "

I nodded my head. I knew he was upset that Harry wasn't there. When I asked Niall about Harry he just smiled and winked at me. I didn't even have the energy to ask what that wink meant.

"I still can't believe you and Greg plan on buying those property dude. Have you given any more thought about your plans for it? You still thinking of going the way you were thinking?"

Louis looked over at me and smiled. "Yep, it just feels right. I talked to Jake at the office and the in fact they are going to let me work part time will help out. I always thought you were crazy to give up the position Jake offered you just so you could come out here but the more time I spend out here the more I know, this is the life I want also. "

I nodded my head again. I had the strangest feeling in my stomach. I had been having it for the last week, almost like I was expecting something to go wrong. Things with Niall were going great...almost too good. While everyone around us had so much drama in their relationships, Niall and I didn't, thank God. But still, something wasn't right. The fact that I saw Niall talking to Seth at the football game didn't help matters either. That fooker clearly wasn't getting the message to stay away from him and for some reason, Niall was too nice to him.

Fooker ....

"I'm heading out for awhile. I'll be in the north pasture. "

Louis jumped up on Fire Star and gave me a smile. He hadn't had a beer for the last few days and I think he finally fooked practically everyone in Dublin he could. He hadn't gone out since the night of Harry's party. Maybe things were about to turn around for him. I sure as shit hoped so. It was killing Niall and Greg to see him being so upset over Harry . I saw him pull out his headphones and put them in.

"Have a good ride Lou . "

"Thanks dude, later. "

I watched him ride off. I shook my head.... I pray I never fook up with Niall . It'd kill me if he wasn't in my life. I watched him ride until he turned around an oak tree and I couldn't see him anymore. I turned to leave and got the shit scared out of me.

"Holy fooking shit Haz! You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?"

Harry just smiled as he was leaning up against the stables. He was dressed in jeans, boots a sweatshirt and a cowboy hat. I looked down at his hand looking for the ring but he had his left hand shoved into his pants pocket.

"Hi Liam , nice to see you too arsehole,and I told you I was planning on coming on out to the ranch this weekend. "

Something was up.... He had a shit eating grin on his face. I kept looking down at his hand. Why didn't he come out with Niall? Where was Ed ? Louis was gonna to flip out once he found out he was here.

"You're thinking too much Liam . You mind helping me saddle up a horse?"

"No, I don't mind at all. You want to ride Chestnut again?"

"Who is Louis on?"

I had to smile, damn this boy never ceased to amaze me. I shook my head as I walked over to the newest addition to the family. He was a beautiful paint horse who had a bit of spunk in her, fast as hell too and probably my favorite horse. Could be because Niall named her Daisy, said he loved the way she smelled. She smelled like a horse to me but who was I to argue.

"Louis' on Fire Star. Daisy here, she's the horse you want. She's a feisty five year old, has a mind of her own and sometimes she likes to just take over, push you to your limits. She tends to make you open your eyes and pay attention. "

Harry looked over and smiled at me. "Sounds like my kind of horse. Now let's get her ready...I have a race to win. "

I stood there and watched Harry as he rode off on Daisy. Niall came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. God he felt so fooking good. I was fighting the need to take him more and more. I was going to have to talk to him pretty soon to see where he was at with all of this. I needed him so fooking bad but the last thing I wanted to do was push him into sex. I was pretty sure he was feeling the same way.

"So you knew he was coming all along?"

"Yep!" Niall said as he popped his P.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I turned and hugged him close to me.

"I would have but he wasn't one hundred percent sure he was gonna to make it. He had a problem he was trying to deal with and he wasn't walking away as easy as he thought he would. "

I pulled back and looked down at Niall and tilted my head with a questioning look.

"He said no?"

Niall laughed. "Of course he said no!"

"When did he say no? That night? Was it after he heard Louis say he loved him when we were outside?"

"He pretty much told Ed he needed some fresh air and came outside after us. He heard what Louis said and went back in and pulled Ed aside to his bedroom and told him he couldn't marry him. He didn't take it very well and was pretty pissed. Turns out that Ed knew Louis liked Harry all along. I guess Louis used to talk about him in high school. One night when he was drunk, he told Ed and a few other football players he was going to marry him someday! He broke it completely off with him yesterday and told him he loved Louis and couldn't see himself with anyone else but him. Happiest damn day of my life, I couldn't stand him!"

I let out a laugh and put my arm around his shoulder. "Let's go for a walk. "

Niall and I walked and talked for what seemed like forever. It was so nice to just have time to do nothing but talk to him. Usually one of us was running to class, the library, practice, the gym or some other bullshit. We sat underneath a red oak and just talked about everything.

"Liam, what's going to happen when you graduate? You'll be moving out here and I'll still be in Dublin . If thought the last two and half months were bad.... that is going to be hell!"

I knew he'd been worried about what would happen after graduation, but I had a plan to help ease his mind. I just couldn't tell him yet.

"Don't worry baby. I'm not moving out here full time right away. I have some other things I need to work out first and I'll be working at the firm pretty much full time this summer I think. "

Niall turned and looked at me with a strange look on his face.

"You didn't tell me you were working there full time this summer! That's awesome!"

He leaned back into me and we sat there not saying another word. I wish I could tell him my main reason for not moving out to the ranch full time right away but......I wasn't ready. The last thing I wanted to do was scare him away for good.
