One Direction Short Stories

Royal Halloween - Liam

I find myself overwhelmed looking through this costume store. So many amazing costumes. "Sam, what time is Lottie supposed to join us?" I've known Sam since we were kids. She's known Lottie for a while now, introducing me recently. Lottie has invited us to come along to a Halloween party she's attending.

"Here she comes now."

I hear Sam but find myself drawn to the back of the store. On a mannequin in front of me is the most amazing costume I've ever seen. I've always loved Cinderella, this costume though is incredible.

"Would you like to try it on?" The store employee asks me.

"Yes, please."

As I exit the dressing room, both Sam and Lottie gasp. "You look so beautiful, Olivia." Sam says. "It's like that costume was made for you." Lottie adds.

I look at myself in the mirror. I feel absolutely magical. I know in my heart, without a doubt, that I must wear this costume to the party.

The girls and I spend the whole day together before the party starts. Doing each others nails, hair, and make-up. A fun beginning to what I'm sure will be an exciting night.

On the ride over to the party, Sam asks Lottie. "Which guy is throwing this party?"

"It's Liam's Halloween party." Lottie answers just as we pull up to an incredible house.

Once inside, Lottie introduces us to several people. Everyone seems so nice.

It's when we enter the main room that everything changes for me.

Looking across the room, I see him. Prince Charming. Have you ever had that moment? You see someone for the first time, and you literally can feel the cracks in your broken heart mending. To lay your eyes on someone, and feeling like all the pain you've been through was worth it....because it led you to this moment.

I'm frozen where I am, unable to move. I feel as though he and I are the only ones in the room. I take all of him in. Tall, muscles in all the right places. Strong arms to hold you, to protect you. Perfect hair, an intriguing shade of brown. Short yet longer on top, forming amazing curls. Curls I'd love to run my fingers through.

He's incredibly handsome. By far the most handsome man I've ever seen. Yet what causes my breath to catch, is his eyes. Dark eyes, the color of a fine aged brandy. Filled with such kindness.

As our eyes meet from across the room, I wonder what he's thinking.

***********************************************************************************

The moment my eyes find her, my breath catches in my throat. She's beautiful. Breathtakingly, naturally beautiful. It's as though I can literally see her inner beauty shining through along with her gorgeous outside.

Her shiny blonde hair is piled up in a bun, completed with a light blue ribbon. It leaves her neck exposed. Oh how I wish my lips were on that incredible neck.

Although she's wearing a costume, I can still see she has an incredible body. Womanly, curves in all the right places.

Her mesmerizing green eyes meet mine. All of a sudden I understand all that has happened this last year. The break up, no real desire to date, the longing, the loneliness. All of it bringing me to this moment. To this woman. My Cinderella.

I feel myself being led towards the Prince. Is this real or a dream?

Lottie brings us together. "I thought the Prince should meet the Princess." She grins as she walks away.

He puts out his hand. "I'm Liam." I somehow manage to say. "I'm Olivia." As I put my hand in his.
