I'd like to give a shoutout to @kadiebmore for that wonderful comment she left on the last chapter. Thank you it was much appreciated.

Enjoy!

"I think you have a wonderful personality, as geeky and nerdy as you are, you're just so strong and honest..I really wanted to be friends with you but then Brian came along and ruined everything and now he's hurt you and I want to fucking kill that asshole for even laying a finger on you and I want to kill that son of a-"

"Whoa,...you should calm down". I chuckled but winced from the pain. The only problem here is, what if he's doing the same thing Brian did. What if he's part of Louis' plan as well? What if..

"Sorry".

The front door opened and closed, completely distracting us from the conversation.

"Liam? You're home?"

"Yeah ma in here!" The familiar face came into the large, open area and placed bags of groceries on the kitchen bench.

"Oh hello dear!" Liam got up and walked over to his mum, whispering to her as she frowned and looked back at me. I hated when people watched me while talking to someone else. It just made it so obvious that they were talking about you and it's just plain rude.

"I'm gonna go have a shower, my mum is going to help you with your cuts". Liam gave me a small smile and left the room, his mum walking towards me with a damp face washer and a first aid kit. This is the most care I've ever gotten in someone else's house. I don't know how to feel. It's weird.

"Oh my you poor thing!" She caressed my cheek and carefully dabbed the wet towel over my face. I, of course, flinched with each touch and she continuously apologised. She was so careful as though she's been doing this her whole life. She must have figured the gentle touch while Liam grew. He must have fallen over a lot. 

Like what does she even do for a living? My mum just works at the supermarket, day shift or night shift..I'm not happy about the night shift though. His mum must be a nurse or something. Who knows. She seems to really know what she's doing right now though so nurse is a very high possibility. 

"Can I ask something?" I nodded lightly and she smiled warmly. "Why have you been coming here after you've been hurt?" I frowned. 

"I'm so sorry if I'm intruding...I mean...Liam made me last time but I didn't realise I was getting in the way I'm really sorry truly I mean I couldn't go home and Liam insisted you would help me and I'm so-"

"hey now, you are not in any way intruding!" I let out a breath and she smiled wider. "You're a lovely boy Niall". 

"A lot of people don't seem to think so". She placed the skinny pieces of tape over the cut just above my eyebrow and on my cheek. 

"I honestly don't understand why. You seem to have a very polite and thoughtful attitude, you are adorable as well, I see why Liam likes you".

"MUM!" Liam came out in board shorts, his chest with droplets of water cascading his body, his skin shiny and beautiful. His hair was wet and he had a towel over his shoulder along with a pair of shorts in his hand. "Can you not embarrass me please?" She chuckled and I blushed. "Here Niall, go put these on, we'll go for a swim". He threw the shorts at me and they hit my chest, falling to the floor making him laugh. I can't catch for shit. I bent down and grabbed them, walking to the bathroom and pulling my jeans down, quickly replacing them with the shorts and leaving my top on, walking back out to the living room. Liam smiled and now had another towel. "Ma, we'll be in the pool if you need anything!" His mum was now beginning to cook their dinner as he pulled me towards a door. 

I followed Liam through a large hall, the flawless painted walls without a knick or scratch. Our house has thousands. He led me through a door, the fresh smell of chlorine welcoming me. I know it may be strange, but one of my favourite smells has to be when you walk into a aquatic centre and you're welcomed by that smell. That clean and beautiful smell. Chlorine. I love it. 

The room glowed by the large windows that shone, facing out to the backyard where it was now raining. It was unbelievably warm in here though, like not hot and stuffy warm just not cold. The pool is a flawless blue, I guess it could be described as the blue of my eyes? Or just a clean ocean I guess. There's stairs in the back corner, nice plants leading up to where the small slide is. A spa next to the pool, the walls slightly raised from the ground. Liam walked over to the stairs and flicked something, making water run down the slide into the pool. This room alone has to be bigger than my whole house. He threw the two towels on the wooden bench on the side near one of the large windows and dove into the pool, coming to the surface and flicking his wet hair from his face, opening is eyes to look at me expectantly. 

I hugged myself and walked closer to the water, dipping my foot in feeling the water. I didn't want to get in a cold pool. It was slightly warm I guess. Liam just stood in the middle, staring at me as if expecting me to join him for him to enjoy himself. I'm sure he's swam by himself plenty of times? As I went to get in, Liam stopped me. 

"Wait, you're gonna swim in your shirt?" I looked down at my white, crease free, clean shirt and looked back to Liam. I didn't want him to see my ugly body. It's rude of me to put him through that. 

"Yeah?" He frowned and swam towards the edge where I'm standing. I stepped back as he pushed himself up on the edge, moving to stand as his masculine body dripped of water leaving puddles on the floor. 

"Niall why won't you take your shirt of?" 

Ah ahah ah ahah take ya shirt off

Ahhh Liam without a shirt is a wonderful sight 

Ah ahah ah ahah take ya shirt off

Can I touch him?

Ah ahah ah ahah take ya shirt off

"Niall? Are you listening to me?" I looked up at his glistening face and blushed. "You don't need to be embarrassed!". He stepped closer so he was slightly towering over me and I looked down, making him grab my chin, lightly tilting my face back up. Please do not tell me he's about to try bring my confidence up. I'm not beautiful so don't tell me I am. I swear to god Liam if you- "Niall, you are going to take that shirt off now". I raised my not cut eyebrow at him and he looked awfully serious. "Don't make me break it". It sounded more sexy than demanding if I'm completely honest. Like kinda...kinky? 

"I don't want to". 

"And why not?" I stayed silent and he brought his hands to the top button, beginning to undo them one by one. I felt really self conscious and went to stop him but he had finished, pushing the shirt from my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. It all went so quickly. One second I'm dry, the next I have Liam's warm, strong arms around me and I'm under water. He bloody pulled me into the water. Dick. 

Once I surfaced, Liam was chuckling to himself, then his eyes trailed down my chest and I moved quickly to cover myself with my two tiny annoyingly unhelpful arms. 

"Shut up" He swam towards me and pushed my hair from my face, pulling my glasses from the pool and placing them to the side of the pool. "Thank you". He stood flush against me, wrapping his arms around my waist and I gasped, looking up at him as he smirked. This has to be a dream. There's no other explanation. 

"I've wanted to do this for weeks". He examined my face for what felt like eternity, licking his lips as he looked at mine. Is he about to kiss me? Please tell me he is not. I've never kissed anyone before. Please no. God no. Not happening. Don't kiss me! You don't like me! You'll do what Brian did! You don't like me!

And I looked up, which was apparently a very bad idea bc that's when it happened.

His plumb, slightly hard lips met mine in a soft kiss.

And I let him. I don't think I regret it either.
