*Ashley's POV*
Why is it so hard for him to understand? He is my past and his brother is my future. I didnt know Liam is Harry's brother. If I knew it, I wouldnt date him. But Liam is not like his brother at all. He is sensitive, caring.. he cares about me. And I feel things for him. He is just so sweet. I dont regret my decision to date Liam. I regret my relationship with Harry. He was the first person who made me fall in love. He was the first person who I told "i love you" to, and I meant it. Who m?ade me love with more with just one touch. Who I could give everything I have to spend a little time with him. Who broke my heart. Who made me understand that I can trust no one. He made me hate him, feeling so much anger inside me. I am still looking at me with disgust. He thinks I dont know what happened. He thinks I have no clue about that night when he.. gosh, Ashley stop. You are with Liam. An angel. Just be happy and forget about that bastard.
...
"Ready love?" Liam asked me while he gave me a sweet kiss on my cheek.
"Just one minute. A little more mascara, and I am ready"
"You dont need these shit all over your beautiful face, baby"
"You are too good for me" I almost whispered. I hope he didnt hear it. Sometimes I am thinking what he has done for me. I dont deserve him, for sure..
"Sorry.. what?"
"Nothing. Just go downstairs. I'm coming" he kissed my cheek once again and then he left. I'm thankful for having someone like Liam to care about me and love me. He told me once that he loves me, but I froze and didnt answer. He understood my awkwardness and then he started talking about a new app he downloaded.
Its not that I dont love him. Of course I do. He's different and I like it. He can be a sweetheart and the next minute a badass, in a possitive and very attractive way. He can be caring and sexy at the same time. I mean come on! He's beautiful, no doubt for that, but his personality.. is so much more attractive than his appearance.
The sound of the door open, brought me back to reality.
"Baby I said I'll be downstairs in a minute" I turned to face him and.. Harry?
"What's wrong with you?" I stood up and now we are face to face looking deep into his eyes. "You know that Liam can be here in every minute.."
"When will you tell him?"
"What?"
"When will you tell him?"
"Tell him what?!"
"The truth"
"Its not your business" I turned to grab my purse, but he grabbed my wrist and turned me to face him.
"Tell him or I will"
"DONT YOU DARE!" I raised my hand to slap him, but he just laughed and left. He laughed? I knew he is an asshole, but I never expected him to laugh at me. There's no way to tell Liam. I cant do it. I dont want to lose him. He's important to me. But even if he wasnt, there was no way to go and tell him "Me and your brother used to be a couple" Never in a million years.
I went downstairs and found Liam sitting to the couch talking with Harry. Great. Absolutely great. What if he already knows and he is testing me? What if Harry is now telling him? No way.
"Ready babe?"
"Yes" He stood up and intertwined our fingers.
"Have fun" Harry said to me as we walked out, and winked.
"We will" I mouthed and winked back.
...
We are walking at the beach and the light breeze gives me goosebums. Liam seems to notice and he gives me his jacket.
"Here you are. Better?"
"Liam.. you are too god for me" I said and looked down.
"Hey.. hey.. hey.. I dont wanna hear this again. I.. I love you"
"I love you too." His face seems to light up with my words. It's the first time telling him that I do love him back. He holds my face with his hands and kiss me softly.
"I am not too good for you. That's bullshit."
'Poor Liam.. if you only knew' my brain said. That annoying voice which comes from nowhere and makes me feel guilty.. aah. I hate that voice.
"Promise me, that no matter what will happen or what you will learn.. we will always be together?" I looked into his eyes, waiting for his answer.
"As long as the earth moves and as long as the dogs can't fly.. I will always love you." he said and pulled me closer to his body.
