Hannah Squared

Chapter 7

Liam looked around the room with pure shock written on his face. “Wow.”

“Amazing right? It’s like the most perfect room ever,” I said walking over to the bed with a purple comforter and jumped on. “Even the bed is perfect.”

I felt a shift in the bed and saw that Liam had laid down next to me. After a few minutes of silence he speaks up, “Yeah, this is perfect.”

Smiling, I stand and open the sliding door out to the backyard. “Come on; let’s go play on the playground!” I took off towards the giant slide, and heard Liam laughing behind me. I got to the play set and climbed the rope stairs and looked around at what it had. There was a big slide, two sets of rope stairs, a swing set, a big slide, a small closed off space almost like a tree house and a tire swing. This was amazing!

“What are you doing?” I turned and saw that Liam was standing so close to me that I could feel his breath fanning across my face. He was a good three inches taller than me, so I had to look up to see his eyes. I never really noticed how beautiful they are. They were a chocolate brown so mesmerizing I almost felt my knees buckles. Wait, what are you doing Hannah? This is Liam we’re talking about.

I took a step back and went over to the slide murmuring a “looking around” and went down it. I came out with a smile on my face and looked up to see Liam still in the same spot, with and unreadable expression on his face. “Well, what are you waiting for?” I say, and he snaps out of his little daze and smirks at me.

Five minutes later and I am sitting on a swing with Liam pushing me. Neither of us was talking, but it was a comfortable silence. We stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other’s company. I was a little startled when Perrie stuck her head out the door and smiled when she saw us. “Hey, we were planning on sending a few people to the store for food, come inside so we can figure out who wants to go.”

Liam stopped the swing I was on, and I hopped off. “Thanks for pushing me, I had fun.” He smiled at me and we started walking. He put his hand on the small of my back, and when we got to the door he opened it for me.

We walked in and Louis stood, saying, “Great. Now that we are all here, we can decide who goes to the store.”

“Well, at least three people need to go.” Jade said.

 A spontaneous round of ‘I don’t want to go’ was said by everyone. “Well, if no one wants to go, then we can settle this like children. Three rounds of Not It. Everyone agree?” I added in. They all nodded, so I went ahead and started it. Louis lost on the first round, Perrie on the second and Harry on the last. “Just buy enough for like three weeks or so. And if you all want me to make something to eat tonight, you better get something for me to cook.” Every time the boys are in town, they would always come over for dinner one of the nights because I had mad cooking skills. At least that’s what they say to me.

They gathered their stuff and after a few minutes left. “Well, they will be gone for at least two hours, and its only 1 o’clock here. I don’t know about you guys, but I want to get in the pool!” Cheese said. Everyone agreed, and we all went our separate ways to go change. I realized that I had left all my bags at the door way, and went to go get them. When I was about to pick them up, someone else did. I looked up to see that it was Liam, who was giving me a warm smile.

“It’s ok, I got them,” He said.

“Liam, I'm a big girl. I think I can carry my own bags.”

“It’s fine.” He started walking in the direction of the staircase, and I followed him.

We got to the room and he put my stuff down in the closet. “Thanks.” He nodded and walked out into the bedroom, and I closed the door and went on search for my bathing suits in my bags. After practically throwing everything out of my suit case, I found them. I chose to wear my bikini from Victoria’s Secret that was red with white polka dots on the top and the bottoms had red and white stripes on them. Changing into it, I looked over at the mirror to see my reflection. Almost all the clothes that I had packed I had never worn before, including all of the bathing suits. I actually looked good in this bikini. It showed off the belly button ring I had gotten when I turned sixteen. I was actually thinking about getting a couple tattoos; I have always been fascinated by them.
