Overprotective

Chapter 7

Liam’s POV 

As I said the words that I had been dying to fall from my lips the moment I saw her, I took in her reaction. At first I thought she was going to say no but she surprised me when she jumped in my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist and smashed her lips to mine and worked her fingers through my hair. I had no choice but to hold her to me by her smooth tan thighs and kiss her back with all that I had in me. I traced her bottom lip with my tongue but she pulled away for air and buried her face in my neck, hugging me . 

“So is that a yes?” I said breathlessly as I held her up to me and looked into her warm brown eyes. 

“I’d love to be your girlfriend Liam.” She whispered into my neck, and pressing a kiss to my birthmark. 

“We barely know anything about each other.” I said stating the obvious, seeing if she would change her mind like I expected.

“We have all the time in the world to get to know each other.” She said to me as she tried to wiggle out of my hold, only making me squeeze her thighs tighter, making her burst out laughing, and me raising my eyebrows.

“Are you ticklish baby?” I said as I mischeviously wiggled my eyebrows and set her down.

“N-no.” she said as she cautiously backed away, when I took a step towards her.

“You know you’re only prolonging the inevitable baby, I will catch you and it will be worse for you when I do.” I said as we she was now stepping away from me. 

“That is If you catch me Payne, and I have no intent on letting that happen.” She said as turned around and took off running in the opposite direction making me laugh and start running too. 

“I will catch you babe!” I yelled to her as she giggled and I ran faster to catch up to her, I noticed her beginning to slow down and I took the opportunity to reach out and grab her hips and falling to the sand, me ruthlessly tickling her sides, making her squeal and laugh and try to evade my hands. 

“Liam! Stop! I c-cant breathe!” she squealed and tried batting my hands away from her body. 

“Are you kidding? This is perfect.” I said as I continued to torture her by tickling her sides. She then surprised me when she started to tickle my abdomen making me try to squelch a laugh, but failed and which made Danielle raise an eyebrow at me. 

“Are you ticklish baby?” she said in a somewhat deeper voice, mimicking mine from earlier making me smile. 

“Don’t even think about it Peazer.” I warned her playfully. 

“Too late for that Payne.” She said as she pinned me down underneath her and began the torture, making me write and laugh like how she was moments before. 

“No! Please!” I yelled, trying to move away from her but she was surprisingly stronger whilst on top of me.

“No way Payne! You so deserve this!” she said mischievously as she continued her assault on my ribs, making me wriggle and yell. 

“Dani please!” I begged her, and she stopped.

“Well only because you asked so nicely.” She said breathing heavily, matching my own. 

“Oh god, I have never ever been tickled that long in my entire life. Not even as a child.” I sad as she rolled off of me and onto her back next to me, as we looked at the sky and our breathing slowed.

“Another first.” She said as she giggled and crawled into my lap. That was such a lovely sound. I was tracing shapes on her lower back, and I thought she had fallen asleep but she surprised me when she looked up at me and spoke.
