I woke up to a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I looked up to see Liam watching TV in my living room. I look around and realize it wasn't a dream. He had a really tight grip on me; it was comforting. I couldn't hold back my smile.
I squirmed a little trying to re-position myself. Liam jumped then looked down at me, noticing I was awake.
"TAYLOR!" He yelled and tackled me. He landed on top of me on the couch and kissed my forehead.
"LIAM!" I yelled back at him while laughing.
"I missed you." He said sweetly before kissing my forehead again.
"I missed you too," I laughed. He was so warm, he felt like a blanket; if I didn't move soon, I'd probably fall back asleep.
"Liam, I think you're awesome and I can't believe I even met you but can we get up?" I asked while pushing him off.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked as I fix my hair thn put it back into a bun.
"Well, we COULD go for a walk in the park?" Liam suggested.
I felt a smile slowly spread across my lips. He asked me on a date.
I ran up the stairs and into my room, Liam wasn't far behind.
Liam walked into the guest bedroom and waited while I changed. I always thought it was just a thing in movies when girls struggle through their closet, claiming they have no clothes, but I learned then that it wasn't an exaggeration.
I pulled on a floral sundress, the hem reaching halfway down my thigh, and stepped into some white Keds. I ripped the ponytail out of my hair and let it fall loose around my shoulders. The bun left soft curls in my hair that didn't look that bad. I quickly brushed out my hair then applied my makeup.
I walked out of my room and over to Liam who was looking at some of my family pictures. He turned around and smiled down at me.
"You look beautiful," he said in awe.
"Thank you." A smile spread across my face.
Liam had one of the pictures in his hands. I looked at it and felt sadness flow through me when I noticed which picture it was.
"Taylor? Who's this in the picture?" He asks, pointing towards the four people in the frame. "Um.. that's me when I was little. I'm the small one on the man's shoulders."
Liam looked at the picture then back at me. "You had those same bright blue eyes," he said with a big smile. I try my hardest to smile back but look down at the ground to hide it.
"Who are the others in the picture?" He asked. Concern began to swell in his eyes as he registered my expression.
"That's my Dad, I'm sitting on his shoulders. And that's my Mum, holding my hand. And the boy holding my Mum's other hand is my older brother." A tear slides down my cheek and hits the ground without a sound. Liam looked back at the happy family in the picture.
"Where are they?" He asked nervously, porbably hoping not to get too personal. "They all live back in America. I moved out a few months ago and came here, just like I've dreamed of my entire life. Because I'm technically done with school here, I didn't have to go to school." I answered, still looking at the ground.
Liam picked my head up gently and wiped the tear off my cheek. He gave me his biggest and goofiest smile and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
"Sure am, Love." He answered before taking my hand and walking me out the door.
We walked down the street several blocks before reaching the park. It was so beautiful and clear outside. We walked all through the paths along the water, gigantic, old trees swayed above us.
"Favorite movie?" Liam asked, swinging our hands high into the air.
"Hmmm... Harry Potter."
"Good choice, Miss Taylor. If you could anywhere in the world, where would you go?"
I sighed and look into his eyes before saying, "Don't judge. I've wanted this since I was like twelve."
Liam held up his hands in defense and kept smiling.
"I would go to the Eiffel Tower at midnight to see all the lights of the city."
Liam looks at me in shock, he probably wasn't expecting such a cliche answer.
"Is it really that shocking?" I say while laughing. Liam shook his head and continued asking me random question.
"Favorite color?" "Greeeeen." That was like the millionth question he's asked.
A squirrel ran in front of us while we were walking and made Liam jump. He stumbled backward and landed in the grass, taking me with him.
Him and I rolled in the grass together, laughing at the littlest things. Tomorrow the boys had an interview and a photoshoot to go to so we were enjoying the time while it lasted.
Liam walked me up the stairs to my house and opened the door. The sun had just set and we spent the whole day at the park.
"Well, I better be going. Busy day tomorrow." Liam moved the hair out of my face and picked my chin up with his finger. "Remember, don-" I cut him off.
"Don't listen to the hate, I know I know." I laughed and stuck my tongue out at him. He chuckled and embraced me tightly.
"I'll see you soon, love." He whispered before turning to walk back down the steps.
"Bye Liam!" I called after as he began to walk down the street. He looked back and waved, giving me one of his charming smiles.
