Fighting Love (Liam Payne)

Chapter 3: Getting Cozy

I banged on the door of room 2003 for the fifth time that day. "Blondie, I got your cookies!" I called informally since I was off the clock.

Just like my previous trips I heard feet come running to the door but this time there was an added thud at the end. When the door opened a few moments later it revealed an over turned table the boy must have tripped on when running to the door. "Thank you" he said before grabbing his food. "Oh, and my name's Niall." he informed me before stuffing an entire cookie in his mouth.

"Good to know. I'm Sara. Goodnight Niall." I said before turning to walk back down the hall.

"GOODNIGHT SARA!" Niall yelled from his room before he closed the door.

I quickly ran in my room and performed my nightly ritual. I put my pajamas on, threw my hair up in a sloppy bun, and made myself a cup of tea. I wore my pink and blue plaid pajama shorts with a black tank top. Then I remembered I was supposed to go to Liam's room. I slipped on my white flip flops and padded down the hall with tea in hand.

I knocked on the door he told me earlier, 2005. "Coming!" he called from inside the room. A few moments later the door swung open to reveal Liam wearing nothing but a pair of long basketball shorts. "Oh, hey Sara! Come on in, I'll grab your gloves." he said. "Make yourself comfortable."

I sat on the couch while he walked back to the bedroom. I sipped at my tea, sighing in content. "Here you go," he said, walking back into the room holding out the gloves.

I thought for a minute before replying. "You know what Liam, keep them. I already have a pair and I would hate for you not to be able to box while you're away from home."

He looked shocked. "Are you sure? I mean I can always buy some later."

"Keep them." I said with a smile. "I never use them anyway."

"Alrighty then. Thanks love!" he smiled back at me. "Well I am no where near tired, would you like to watch a movie with me?" he asked.

"I'd love to." I told him. I loved movies, especially Disney movies. "What are we watching?"

He blushed. "I know it seems childish but I really love Disney movies..." he trailed off as his blush darkened.

"Really?" I asked. "Me too!" I said with enthusiasm.

"You're joking, aren't you? You seem too mature to watch Disney." he said suspiciously.

"I could say the same about you. And besides, you're never too old for a classic. What will it be tonight?" I asked.

"Bambi?" he asked.

"I've actually never seen it! We are watching it now!" I stated.

"What kind of childhood did you have?" he gasped. "Well, it's a good thing I'm here, you're going to need a shoulder to cry on." Liam warned me.

We sat side by side as the movie started. After ten minutes my head automatically fell to rest on Liam's shoulder as he put his arm around my shoulders. At the scene where Bambi's father dies, I cuddled into Liam's bare chest while he wrapped his arms around my waist.

When the end credits finally rolled across the screen I glanced up at Liam who had fresh tear tracks on his face. I must admit I teared up a bit,but I didn't cry. He looked down at me and started to blush.

"Aww don't be embarrassed Liam! I think it's sweet! Thanks for being my cuddle buddy." I told him honestly.

"Any time love" he replied.

"Well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight Liam!" I chirped before walking towards the door.

"Wait Sara, could I have your number?" he asked shyly.
