Amber's POV:

The ride to the lake house was long, but it was a bareable trip. I slept most of the time, while Liam drove. When we got to the lake, I was too tired to take in it's beauty and trugged off to bed. I felt myself drifting into a sleep to the sound of crickets chirpping in the summer night and Liam getting ready for bed.

In the morning, I woke up alone and pretty confused as to where I actually was. The sheets were kicked off of my side of the bed and bunched up in the middle of the mattress. I stretched my well-rested body and leaped out of bed; the beautiful, dark, hardwood floor was freezing cold so I ran as fast as I could to locate the kitchen.

"Liam!" My voice rang through the seemingly empty house as I darted in and out of rooms and hallways. This place was huge, probably designed for families, and so cozy.

"I'm in here, Love!" I heard his voice shout from a room on the left side of me. He was sitting at the kitchen table eating some eggs and reading a book. He looked so adorable in the morning; how could I ask for anyone more? "Good morning. How did you sleep?"

"Very well," I took my place next to him at the table and started to shovel food onto my plate. The fresh, summer air flowed between us; Liam must've opened up some windows after he woke up. "So, what's on the agenda for the day, Babe?"

"Well that festival in the town just outside of here is today at one. So," We glanced over at the digital clock hovering over the stove that read 8:56 a.m. "We have a little bit to get ready and go." He stood up and grabbed our empty plates then walked them over to the dishwasher.

"I think I'm going to take a walk around outside." I stared out the big window in the living room. A crystal, clear lake sat in the backyard with large, lush trees creating a wall around it. Liam just told me to be careful before I slipped on my UGGS and a light cardigan and started to stride outside.

I hadn't felt so peaceful in quite some time, now. The atmosphere here was so contagious and filling. There was a wooden dock that lead out a little into the lake. I began to walk out on it and admire the view of the house from out there. It was quite large for a vacation house. It was two stories and was painted a light blue color with navy blue shutters.

I only stayed outside for roughly ten minutes before I got chilly and decided to come in and shower. The shower was hot and made me feel so good, considering I was freezing from being outside this early. Once I was clean, Liam got in the shower and I got changed into some nicer clothes.

I slipped into some loose fitting jean shorts with a union jack sign printed on the pocket. A burgendy top with a black breast pocket stretched over my bump and fitted me nicely. I dusted on some make-up before poker straightening my blonde hair. I laced on my black hightops and pinned one of Harry's old, black beanies to my head.

Noon rolled around, and Liam suggested that we start to head to town. It took about fourty-five minutes to get from the lake to the festival. I guess festival was just a term I was never used to; it was more like the carnival that came to my town every summer while I was a kid. There were a few rides, game booths, and small attractions set up in a large, grassy field.

"This is so cute and perfect. Thanks for taking me here today." I gripped Liam's hand as he lead me through the clumps of people. A few of them spotted and recognized us, but they decided to keep their distance; thank God.

"Anything for you, my Dear." He whispered in my ear and bent my arm up so he could craddle it into his warm chest. The day started to warm up, but the sun rarely peaked out from behind the overcast of hazy clouds.

We stood in line to get on the small ferris wheel that sat in the middle of everything. When it stopped at the top, Liam whipped out his phone and took a sweet picture of us kissing. My eyes glanced at the ground below and my fear of heights jolted back to my memory. I got over that fear when Niall took me on the London Eye the first summer I spent with him.

"You alright, Babe?" Liam rubbed my back and I just shot him a reassuring smile. The rest of the day, we wandered around just taking in everything there. "Hey, look at this?" Liam drug me over to a little tent on the outskirts of the festival. They were doing Henna tattoos and I guess he thought we should get them done.

Liam went first and got my name written in cursive across his left bicept; a heart came off of the cursive 'R'. I hadn't decided what I wanted done yet. "Many mothers get it done around their belly button, ya know?" The young lady who was doing the tattoos suggested to me and I automatically loved the idea.

"This is so cool!" I sat in the passenger's seat with my tee shirt rolled up, careful not to smudge the Henna; the car's air conditioning hitting my stomach directly to dry it faster. It was just a circular design around my belly button with Miracle's name in cursive coming out of the bottom of it real small.

"I know, I like it too!" When we got back to the lake, I demanded to show Liam the amazing view from the wooden dock. I lead him out to the edge, hand in hand, until we dropped to the ground. I laid down, my feet dangling off the dock, and he sat at my head, playing with my hair.

"Ya know," I reached my arms up and wrapped them around his waist, indicating I wanted him to lean closer to me. "I love you so much that I can't even describe in words how in love with you I am." His nose bounced off of mine as he rested his forehead on my chin.

"I love you more than anything in this world, right now." He kissed my lips in a passionate manor and when he pulled away I twisted my face. Who could he love more than me? "This girl, right here, is the only other person I love the mostest." He reached out his head so he hovered over Miracle. His lips grazed around my now dry Henna and made me tingle inside. His abs were revealed in my face as his tee shirt started to creep up his torso.

I ran my finger up his shirt and lightly traced his abs, letting my fingers dig deeper into his shirt. He got real tickleish at one point and spazed out, falling down on the dock beside me. I awkwardly locked my fingers with his and tilted my head to the left, where his legs lie limp. I felt his lips start to kiss my smooth legs. I closed my eyes and started to drift off. I was in paradise and was enjoying every minute of it.
