Let's Talk About Sex

Mary watched in awe as Liam sang on the stage. He was mesmerising. His voice was surprisingly sweet and angelic. She was captivated, and so was everyone else. The songs and the playing were a bit rough still, but he was...really something. She thought that part of why they were so captivating was the imperfection. Noel was stood beside her, and he looked far away. Deep in thought. She wondered if he was proud of Liam. Or maybe even a bit jealous? Liam had front man energy, and maybe Noel was a bit pissed that he didn't. He was quieter, more introverted. They had a complicated relationship, and Mary often couldn't quite get a gague on them. She was starting to understand that more than anything, there was a constant war between love and jealousy between them.

"He's really amazing, isn't he?" She said in his ear.

Noel nodded.

"Yeah."

His expression was unreadable.

Liam wiped the sweat off his forehead with his forearm. His set finished, and that was the first time he broke out of the trance he appeared to be in the whole time he was singing. It was beautiful to watch. Truly. He grinned right at Mary, and she felt her heart flutter. He absorbed the few shouts and cheers that the small crown could muster. Liam Gallagher wanted to do this for the rest of his life. After one shitty pub performance, he knew that.

Liam made his way through the busy pub trying to get away from his friends so he could see Mary. He finally made it to her, and she smiled at him, putting her arms around him.

"You were amazing."

Liam squeezed her tight, feeling her warmth flowing through him. Mary pulled back and swept the sweaty tendrils of hair off his face gently.

Liam admired her fully in that moment. She'd worn her hair out, and she had a little strappy top that was more revealing than what he'd seen her in before. It was driving him mad. He could see her collarbone and the slightest hint of the swell of her breasts.

"You look gorgeous. Nearly forgot all my words looking at you in this top." He said as he slipped his fingers beneath the thin straps brushing the skin on her freckled shoulders.

Mary blushed from the wanton look in his eyes.

"It's new. I'm glad you like it."

Liam leant down, and Mary hesitated for a moment. Worry clear on her face.

"I want to kiss you. I don't care what they think, alright?"

Mary nodded.

Liam pressed his lips to hers gently, and Mary relaxed into the kiss. All of the rest of the people in the packed pub faded away. Liam pulled back.

"I'll get you a drink. Take care of her till I get back, yeah?" Said Liam looking at Noel pointedly.

Noel raised his glass to him.

Liam made his way to the bar, his pals and bandmates clapping him on the back.

"Didn't know you had a little bird, Liam. She's cute." Said Bonehead matter of factly.

Liam smiled appreciatively. Bonehead was even older than r'kid. He was almost 30, so he knew he wasn't being condescending. Bonehead was actually always genuine. No drama. An all-around nice fella.

"Yeah, she's a cracker, isn't she? Not just a pretty face, either she's wicked smart as well."

Bonehead smiled and nodded.

Lots of Liam's pals from school had shown up that he had'nt been in contact with for a while, actually. Most have his ego a little boost at the bar. Offered him a drink. Bounce, as she was affectionately known due to her ability to hop fences to escape the police, gave him a questioning glance.
