Follow The Sun {Liam Hemsworth}

Free Fall

    Now I'm running full speed to go find Liam. No more sneaking around, no more lying, nothing. From now on, we can do whatever we want, go out in public whenever we want. By the time I reach his set, I'm out of breath but pumped up with adrenaline. He's looking over his script so when I call out his name he glances at me and then double takes. I can tell that he's thinking I'm insane by the look he gives me, but I race toward him anyway and jump into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"Vivianne? What are you doing? Are you c—"

"He said we can be together Liam. He told me we should come out as a couple during the first official cast interview." I bury my face in his neck and laugh happily. "Can you believe that?"

"Wait... are you serious?" His voice is disbelieving but hopeful as he sits me down and looks down at me with wide, blue eyes.

    He stares for a moment after I nod and then chuckles, running a hand through his hair. "You're kidding." he says, looking at me again. I shake my head, still smiling. His eyes scan my face as if searching for some sort of give away that I'm lying. I notice that everyone has stopped to look at us, but I don't have time to care because Liam steps toward me, and his large hands find my waist. Instinctively, I rest mine on his shoulders. He looks into my eyes, still smiling and then kisses me right there in front of everyone.

    Wolf whistles and clapping erupt from the crowd that we've attracted making me laugh when I break the kiss. I bow jokingly and laugh some more. Could things get any better? "Alright love birds, time to get back to work." says a cameraman with a playful smile. I mouth the word sorry to him and he tilts his head down and holds up one hand to show that's it's okay. Liam brushes my hair out of my face and kisses my forehead. "I'll see you later." he whispers, looking down at me. I nod.

    At noon, Liam texts me asking if I'd like to go to lunch. Of course, I accept. On my way outside, I stop in the bathroom to fix myself up. My hair is down and in its natural wavy state. My green eyes are outlined thinly in mascara and eyeliner, making them look greener than normal. My lips are full and pink. I flip my bangs out of my eyes, grab my phone and go outside to meet Liam by his car.

    I see him right away. He's leaning against his black Honda Odyssey almost directly in front of me so I walk towards him, smiling because of how great this day has been. When he sees me, a smile just as big as mine stretches across his face. I wrap my arms around his neck, get on my tip toes and poke my lips out for a kiss. Chuckling, he leans down to peck my lips and then opens the car door for me. "Milady." He motions for me to get inside, bowing as if I were a princess. I laugh at his cheesiness and get in his car, shaking my head.

    We go to a quaint little diner a couple miles away. It's warm inside and smells like wood. A blonde woman seats us immediately and then introduces herself as Elizabeth. "Could I start you off with something to drink?" She takes a notepad out of her apron and looks between the two of us. "Cappuccino please." I answer. She nods and looks at Liam. "Water." he answers. I look at him with raised eyebrows. "Water?" I question after our waitress leaves. He chuckles and shrugs.

    I don't say anything in response, instead looking at the menu. When I look up, I see that Liam is looking at me. I laugh nervously and bite my lip. "What?" I ask, leaning forward a bit. He smiles when I stare back at him. "I can't believe that I finally get to let to world know that you're mine." he answers. I reach out and grab his hand, wondering how I got so lucky. "I can't believe that you'd want me to be yours in the first place." I reply, shrugging. He looks shocked. Just when he opens his mouth to speak, the waitress, Elizabeth, sits down our drinks and I thank her politely.

"What do you mean by that? Of course I would." He speaks softly so we don't attract attention to ourselves in the quiet diner.

"It's just the fact that I'm me and you're..." I trail off, unable to find the right word to describe him.

"Absolutely perfect?" he finishes for me.

"Yeah." I answer, nodding.

"Yeah? Well," He gives my hand a gentle squeeze and smiles faintly. "I could say the same about you, darling."

    I blush a deep shade of red. He called me darling and perfect in the same sentence. Gosh, how could I get so lucky? I push my bangs out of my face with my free hand. "You're too sweet." I mumble, peeking up at him through my long eyelashes. "I thought I was cheesy." he teases. I laugh a little and nod. "Oh yeah, you are, but that also makes you sweet." I clarify. He chuckles and nods, agreeing.

"So the first official cast interview is in two days. How do you think you'll squeeze me in there?" I ask after a moment of comfortable silence.

"I'm sure it'll come up. Are you going?"

"I could I guess." I shrug. "I probably won't be going on stage with you though. I think it's only meant for you, Jen and Josh." I tell him.

"I'd still want you to be there."

    It doesn't take me long to realize that I'm falling for him. As he speaks, I watch the way he moves. I pay attention to the way his free hand moves to emphasize certain words, how his left hand (my right) never leaves mine throughout our entire lunch. I notice for the first time that he squints slightly when he's paying close attention to something and his blue eyes pierce through the tiny slits. Those same eyes look directly into mine every time I speak to show me that he's listening attentively. I am falling for him.
