~Abby's POV~

"I was thinking about you" my heart stopped and I'm pretty sure I was blushing.

"You...you what?" I asked nervously, biting my lip to hold back a smile. It could have just been a slip of words or something.

"I-uh-I just-um" he stuttered and his eyes reminded as wide as they were when the words tumbled out of his mouth.

"Yeah...I was um, I was thinking about you.." Woah.

"You were?" if I wasn't already blushing, I was now.

"Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, and I know you probably think of me as some jerk popstar, but I had a really fun night last night and I haven't had one in a while. It was all thanks to you" He finally breathed.

"I don't think your a popstar. I see you as Liam Payne. A normal teenager lucky and talented enough to live his dream" I mean that completely. He isn't famous to me. He is just another person. I don't see him differently.

"Oh and, I was thinking about you too" I say smiling and looking down.

Right as I did, two fingures tilted my chin up and I met his eyes. I melted. He was so close to me. I almost let myself think he was going to kiss me but I quickly brushed off that thought.

"We're you really?" he sounded almost excited.

"Yeah.." what's he getting at?

Awkward silence...

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. then a few seconds later, he spoke.

"Well I came to swim so you can join or just watch" He finally said breaking the silence that was almost painful.

"Now why would I want to watch?" I said smirking.

"Oh I know you fancy me" he winked and I splashed him.

"Oh no you didn't!" He said in a sassy voice.

"Yes I did! What are you going to do about it?!" I shouldn't have asked that. Right when I finished he charged at me, as fast as he could in water of course, and grabbed me by my waist.

He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I started kicking when I realized he was walking up the steps to get out of the water.

"What are you doing!?" No answer.

"LIAM!?" No answer.

Then he stopped and I turned my head to see we were standing outside near the deep end of the pool.

I saw a diving board. oh no. He better not go over there. As if he could read my mind he laughed and walked towards it.

I'm going to kill him for this.

After stepping up on it he said "Embrace for impact!" and jumped.

The water was warmer than earlier, but still cold. Liam's body was so warm that once we resurfaced, I clung to him.

"IT'S FREEZING!" I started shaking. How could a pool be this freaking cold in the summer?

"Lets get out then." Well that's a smart idea.

After we got out and dried off, he started walking to the ledge to look down.

"Umm...I'm afraid of heights. Looking down will freak me out." The only protection before you fell off was what looked like a crappy railing with chipped paint. that's reassuring.

"It's okay! You'll be fine. Here, close your eyes and take my hand." I hesitated a minute, then did as told. I closed my eyes as his hand found mine.

"Don't open until I say" no problem..

I felt a breeze pick up. Wonderful. So I could get blown off this building.

I felt something cool on my hands, then realized I was holding on to the railing.

Oh crap. Don't open your eyes!! I kept telling myself that. Then like he could read my mind...again...

"Open" His voice was soft and I felt butterflies from his breath on my neck. His chest lightly pressed against my back as he placed his hands over mine on the railing.

I opened my eyes to find the most beautiful view ever. The sun was almost half way up. The really tall buildings were slightly covered at the top with a small layer of fog.

The sky was blue and there were barely any clouds, but the light fog gave the illusion that there was.

"I love this. It's so beautiful" I say just above a whisper.

"It's the second most beautiful thing I have seen this morning" He states.

"What was the first?"

"You" His hands wrap a little more around my hands and I felt my skin, where his palm was on the back of my hand, tingle.

I would feel the heat rise in y cheeks. he was really flirty this morning, but I didn't mind.

After a few minutes of taking in the view, I got hungry.

"Want some breakfast? I didn't eat before I came down." He nods but doesn't move.

What do I do? Just stand here?

He sets his chin on my shoulder and moves his hands from mine, as wrap them around me.

"Thanks Abby. You helped me get a lot off my mind that was bugging me." He squeezes me then let's go. I find myself missing his touch.

What? Abby he is just a friend, friends help each other, and think about each other right?
