Till Death us do part...(Liam Payne) Book 3 of Evie/Liam

Part 10

Lex arrived in early June, just as the European tour was starting. Eva and Dylan picked her up from the airport and took her back to the flat. "Holy Crap, Eva. This is amazing. Can I touch the awards?Please? And put it on twitter? My friends will die. They don't believe that I gave Niall a...."

"Don't you dare say what I think you are going to say or will drive over there cut his dick off." Eva told her. "He is such a dead man."

"Okay, I won't say it. Doesn't make it not true, but I won't say it, big sister." Lex winked.

"Anyhow, we have some people coming over tonight. Just a small party. You will know everyone, I think. Except Marian and Emma. Liam just wanted one last day of fun before things get crazy. He's ou tbuying meat." Eva told Lex.

"Meat?"

"Yes. For his grill. It's a big patio and all, but ya. He needs a house." Eva laughed.

Eva took Lex down to the guest rooms. Liam had two, that were attached by a bathroom. They were pretty much the same size and had the same furniture, so she put her in the on closer to everything."Here you go. Settle in. Take a nap. Take a shower. Whatever you want." Then Eva left to go see about Liam and his meat. Dylan was in the kitchen arranging food on trays and Liam was by his grill."He's back? Where is his meat?" Dylan nodded to the fridge. The kitchen table was covered with buns, condiments, chips and other'party' food. There was beer in the coolers out on the patio and wine chilling in the fridge.

"Okay! The grill is preheating. I just need people." Liam declared. He walked to the bedroom and Eva followed. "Hey, baby."he said. "Do you need me?"

"Yes. Come here." Eva said. Liam shrugged and walked over. "I'm going to drink a lot of wine tonight, so make sure you take advantage of me, okay?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him.

"That can be arranged, Ms. Stuart." he laughed, giving her soft kisses. "We are going to have people in about an hour. I can take advantage of you right now, if you'd like?"

"No, I need a quick shower and to change." Eva walked to the bathroom, dropping clothes along the way. Liam happily followed her trail.

People started to show up about an hour later. Liam opened all the doors to the balcony so people could move freely between the flat and the patio. He declared himself grill master and cooked burgers, hot dogs and sausages. Eva made sure everyone ate and drank. She even convinced Marian to stop staring at Harry. Wasn't twice enough?Marian assured her that it was NOT enough and resumed stalking. Eva just shook her head, laughing.

Eva hadn't seen Lex for a while and decided to make sure she was having a good time. She wasn't outside or in the lounge. Then Eva thought that she hadn't seen Niall for a while either. She took a deep breath and stormed into Lex's room. Niall was in his boxers on top of her half naked sister. She screamed and grabbed Niall by the ear, dragging him though the shared bathroom and into the other guestroom. It didn't seem far enough away from her sister so she pushed him into the closet and shut the door. She sat down in front of it so he could get out.

"Come on, Eva!" Niall screamed. "Let me out."

"Scream all you want. Nobody can hear you." Eva said. She heard him sit down against the door. "Why her Niall? Of all the goddamned girls on Earth, why her?"

"Honestly? You want to hear the god's honest truth?"

"Yes, god damn it." Eva screamed.

"Because she fucking looks just like you, okay? Is that what you want to hear? Niall was so fucking pathetic and couldn't have the girl he wanted so he took her sister."

Eva didn't say a word.

"At least that was how it started." he sighed.

"How long?" she asked.

"What?"

"How long have you felt like this?" She had a sick need to know.

"Well, I thought you were cute when I first met you, but I didn't want you until I took you golfing. You were a different person that day. Happy, funny. Not that shy little mouse that hid behind Liam. I just....I don't know. I guess I had a crush, so I decided to become your friend. Liam fucking called me out on it so many times. I wanted to kill him when he broke up with you. And even then, you never saw me. You only wanted to talk about him. He broke your heart and I was chasing you like a god damned puppy and you never saw me. I'm pathetic, I know. But I swear, it's not like that anymore."

"What?" Eva was surprised.

"I admit that the night at your house? That was me being a sick bastard. You and her racing? That was so fucking hot and you looked so much alike, I could close my eyes and pretend."

"Niall!" Eva cried out. She was crying now. She never really believed that he liked her like that.

"Listen, okay? I took her number. I kept talking to her. And here is the thing. She is you, only better." Niall explained.

"WHAT?" Eva screamed.

"I really suck at this, don't I? I love golf you. I love competitive you. But shy, hiding behind Liam you? She pisses me off.I could never put up with that shit. He fucking laps it up. He wants to protect you and worry about you. He fucking loves it. I'd smack the shit out of you."

Eva growled, "Excuse me?"

"I'm not kidding. I need golf you all the time. Lex is golf you.She's confident. She's funny. She doesn't take shit from anyone. I'd never have to worry about her in a crowd. She'd beat those bitches back bare handed. So, ya, it started out sick, but pretty soon, it became all about her. I don't have those feeling for you anymore. I still love you, I swear. And you are still my best friend. I love hanging out with you. But, damn it. I'm going marry your little sister whether or not you want me to." Niall declared.

"She is 17!" Eva yelled.

"She will be 18 next month. And I'm not taking tomorrow. I'm not Liam, for gods sake." Niall was laughing now.

"I hate you, you know that right?" Eva said.

"Yep." Niall replied. She could tell he was smiling. Eva opened the door enough so that she could get in the closet with him. Then she sat back against the door so he couldn't get out. Niall spoke first. "Come here." He grabbed her and gave her a hug, holding her while she cried out all of her feeling.

Out of nowhere, the door opened. Eva fell backwards, out of the closet, with Niall on top of her. In his underwear.

"What in the fucking hell?' Liam yelled. Eva just covered her eyes and shook her head. All she could think was, this isn't happening.
