The Horror Of Love (AU)

Chapter 16

*Arura's P.O.V*

I nuzzled my nose into my pillow, only to get a soft chuckle from it. Wait? What the fuck?

"Well good morning sleeping beauty." Liam hummed. "Would you like to get up so I can make you breakfast?"

"Oh um.. Yeah, sorry." I blushed scrambling to get up, only to get pulled back down.

"Wait. First..." And then his lips were on mine. "There, now you can get up." He smirked as I stuttered and blushed, trying to come up with something to say but just ended up opening and closing my mouth a lot. "Now Breakfast for the human? What would you like?"

"Cereal is fine." I mumbled.

"Nonsense, I'm making you french toast." Liam smiled sweetly, and it made my breath hitch.

"O-Okay." He smiled again, pecked my lips then picked me up and carried me to the kitchen. "So what's on the agenda for today?" I asked once I'd recovered.

"Ummm I don't know. What do you want to do?"

"I think I have work today at the smoothie shop, and the pub. So I need to do that." Liam tensed up when I mentioned going to work. "Do worry Li you could come and hang out with me if you'd like and Louis or Perrie will be with me all day."

"Alright." He sighed. "I'm going to be there though or I'll ask Zayn to be there because I do not want that sick bastard within fifty feet of you. No more then that one hundred feet- no not even on the same planet-"

"Calm down Liam. I'll be fine alright." I soothed running my hand through his soft hair. "I'll be safe."

"Yeah, safe." He whispered before pulling me into a tight hug. "Safe." He mummbled against my hair and I couldn't help but think he was adorable. That the whole I'm-a-badass facad he's got going was exactly that, a facade. It made me giggle at the realization, I had been so scared of him at first but he was really just a big softy. "What's so funny?"

"You're adorable." He pulled away a bit and raised his eyebrows. "It's just I was so afraid of you in the beginning and in reality you're just a big sweetheart." I laughed again.

"Whatever." He huffed and went off to make breakfast.

"I'm telling you, he's just bad. I don't like him." Louis said for about the tenth time that day. I still hadn't gotten around to telling everyone I broke up with Darren, but I guess now was as good a time as any.

"Well that's good because I'm no longer with him."

"Finally." Louis sighed. "I've been waiting for you to admit it forever now."

"What?" I was thoroughly confused here.

"I saw you making out with that one dude when you thought I went out back. I forgot my sweater in here so I came to get it and you were lip locked with Mr. Perfect over there." Louis pointed to Liam who sat in the corner taping away on his phone.

"Oh." Was all I could manage to say. I saw Liam's lips turn up in a bit of a smirk and his eyes flashed to mine for a second, so I knew he had heard us. "I um.."

"It's alright darling you don't have to explain." Just then Harry walked in. "Hazza!" Louis shouted practically throwing himself over the counter and into his waiting arms.

"Hello Harold." I smirked as they shared a small kiss. "Well Haz would you like to take over for me so I can go get ready for my shift at TheTavern?"

"Sure." I held my hand up.

"No making out on work hours." I smirked again as I took off the apron and threw it in the hamper under the counter. "Bye guys see you tonight."
