Amy’s P.O.V

I stumble as I step down into the living room of the beach house, Niall’s arm secured around me, helping me up. Tonight was fun, after Jared Niall and me split off from Liam, Zayn, and Emily as they were going to go back to the house. Niall and I went shopping where he bought me the outfit I am now wearing and then actually ate at providence, Finally!!!

The ankle boots that Niall bought for me are high and extremely hard to walk in but at least there cute. The outfit consists of some skinny jeans, a blue blouse, and a small black clutch to match my very high black ankle boots.

Dinner was nice and quiet except for the few conversations me and Niall had in-between courses. I got a salmon dish with vegetables on the side, something Mackenzie would approve of as she’s a vegetarian.  After a few glasses of wine, I was a little tipsy and now tripping over my own feet.  The house was quiet except for a consistent snore that seemed to be coming from Harry and Shannon’s room.  The darkness of the room was almost impenetrable even by the light of a phone screen. Niall, still clutching on to me practically drags me towards our room before he pops open the door and pulls me inside before shutting it.

Mackenzie’s P.O.V

The warm air blows through my hair, causing a shiver to go down my spine.  Could Liam feel the same for me as I do him? It’s not impossible but it’s twisted. No one has ever and probably will never love me. I hear the patio door slide open and close from where I stand holding the railing to the patio.  Strong, warm arms slip around my waist, hugging me from behind.

“What are you doing out here?” Liam asks, his voice husky from being deprived of sleep.

“Thinking.”  I say even though I know he’ll ask what I’m thinking about thus I have to tell him.

“About what, babe?” Liam questions.

“Stuff.” I respond as I start playing with the ring that I’m almost sure Liam has given to me.

“Do you like it?” He asks as he stares down at the ring in question.

“depends.” I say.

“On?”

“what it means.” I say as Liam turns me around so I face him. His brown eyes stare down at me meaningfully.

“It’s a promise ring; I want to marry you, Mackenzie. Not today, or in the next year, but someday. It’s like a pre-engagement ring. It’s a promise to love and protect you no matter what happens.” He says before he brings his lips down to mine for an earth shattering, mind blowing, ice melting kiss that leaves me breathless and for once truly happy.

“I love you, Mackenzie. ” He says as he pulls away.

“I love you too.” Saying the words that I swore won’t leave my mouth but they did and I don’t regret saying them.

“Come, let’s go back to bed,” we walk hand in hand through the house till we reach my room where the door is open from Liam. Once in bed, we cuddle, my hand tracing the curves of his muscles that ripple beneath my fingers.  The silence between us is peaceful, not awkward and perfect instead of unmatched. I love Liam and he loves me.
