My Stepbrother

Chapter Eighteen

Living on a tour bus with 5 boys is every girl's nightmare. Add up one more boy and you'll have a crisis. I was both excited and scared as hell.

"Excuse the mess."
Said Liam trying to pick up pillows off the floor. He then glanced at the pile of underwear in the corner. Zayn, Louis, and Josh then hustled and stood right there in front of it, trying to hide it.

"Oh C'mon God forbid that a girl knows that we wear boxers!"
Harry sarcastically said.

"Ummm.. Let me show you the.. uhh.. some place that isn't here."
Liam said grabbing my hand and taking me out of the bus.

"We'd be back with dinner, you better have the bus clean for when we come back!"
He threatened them, I laughed.

We walked for about 5 minutes with silence, until Liam broke it.

"What time did you get here?"
He asked.

"About 6:30"

"What time is it now?"

"Almost 7"

"I'm sorry you had to see how chaotic we are, it's just that, after the shows we're pretty much tired as hell and we just want to go to bed and sleep. We don't care if the whole world collapsed we just want to sleep. Singing may seem easy from the outside, but between shows and rehearsals and other shit that the management force us to do it's really tiring. I mean, on our next so called break, we're gonna work on the album. It's really tiring."
He complained. I just faked a smile.

"What's wrong?"
He asked.

"You don't get it do you?"

"Uh... I'm afraid I'm not following.."
He said in the cutest british accent ever.

"Never mind."

"Dannielle"
He said grabbing both my arms with his hands stopping me, and then looking into my eyes directly.

"I swear I could faint right now."
I murmured.

"Believe it or not, me too."
He smiled.

The wrinkles by his eyes when he smiles are more perfect than my face. How did God even create him?!

"Liam Payne you're the hottest creature God ever created."
I said with a serious straight face.

"Oh are you flirting with me?"
He said still gazing into my eyes.

"No."
I smiled.

"You have the prettiest smile I've seen since forever, keep it there, on your beautiful face."
He said smiling.

"Mr. Payne are you flirting with me?"
I asked jokingly.

"Yes, unlike some people I don't deny it when I flirt."
He laughed letting me go.

"It's almost 7:30, don't you think we should bring dinner and head back? I mean, we've been walking for half an hour."
I asked.

"Are you bored?"
He asked.

"Are you kidding me? I could be stuck with you on an empty 5 cm in diameter island and be the happiest girl on earth. Well, you and the boys. Then we'd have no option but to stay close and hug for heat. God that's what heaven's like."
I wished.

He laughed.

"Come here."
He said as he hugged me. I didn't let go until he did.

I was tearing up.

"What's wrong? Do I smell like onions?"
He joked.

"No no, God no. It's just that this is way too much for me, I mean, at the beginning of this year, I literally fainted walking out of your concert and accidentally bumping into you, I collapsed knowing you were playing somewhere near. And now, here we are. I have the chance to literally glue myself to one of you guys, or maybe two, one on the left and one on the right, and I am actually talking to you. Like, you're noticing my existence that's like a HUGE deal to me. The idea that you guys know that I exist makes it hard for me to breathe."
I said still crying

"Well, first of all, I'd be glad to be glued to you, second of all, stop crying, you're gonna ruin your makeup, and third of all, it really means a lot to you, doesn't it?"
He asked.

"To me? It means the world. The thing is, I'm sure other girls would literally give away the rest of their lives to spend one day with you. When directioners chant heroes at concerts, they're not kidding. You guys saved my life, and I'm one out of others. Imagine this directioner with me, who's going to your concert. She can't sleep, He just wants to go to bed. Tomorrow is the day she meets the love of her life, tomorrow is just a day closer for him going home. She cries and screams his name, he smiles as they all scream his name. He's her idol, She's just another fan. But she loves him, But so does everyone else."
I was sobbing at this point.

"God I hope we could just spend at least one hour with each and every one of you guys, you're truly amazing."
Liam was tearing up when he hugged me tight.

I felt safe in his arms, like, safer than I've ever been. It was warm, powerful, beautiful. When he wasn't holding me as tight now, I lifted my head back up a little, then he looked down at me, he said nothing. I smiled, because I could read his eyes. I wanted to kiss him so bad, but I didn't want to be the world's most hated bitch for causing a fight between the boys of the biggest boy band on the planet. Plus, I wasn't sure if he wanted to kiss me.

"We better head back."
I said, he nodded.

On our way back, non of us shared a single word.

"Hey we're back!"
Said Liam as he opened the door.

They were all sitting chatting like normal people, I mean, we're online 24/7 to catch their attention and here they are being as normal as possible.

"Welcome back"
Said Louis as they all turned saluting us.

"So? What's for dinner?"
Asked Josh.

"I knew we forgot something!"
Liam said stupidly, I laughed.

"Wait, if you didn't get dinner then what took you so long?"
Niall asked.

"We went for a walk."
I said smiling.

"Hope it went well."
He replied.
