Savior [L.P.]

Chapter 19

Tara's POV:

I woke up on Liam's bare chest. His arm was still wrapped round me. He was still sleeping. I found it so cute how he slept. He had a bit of a snore.

I slowly got up, trying to not wake him. I lifted his arm off of me and set it on the duvet. I stepped down and walked to the door to grab some clothes that Liam had brought for me. As I stood by the door, quietly opening it, I looked back at Liam remembering the events that went on between us last night. How he made me feel. It was incredible. I smiled at the thought, then walked out to retrieve my bag.

When I returned, Liam took a deep breath as a sign he was waking up. "Morning." He tiredly greeted as I shut the door.

"Morning." I greeted back.

"What are you doing?" He asked with his eyebrow cocked.

"Just getting dressed. I'm not one to stay in bed all day." I explained.

"Oh.." He said, shifting in the duvet.

I was almost dressed, I just needed to put a shirt on until he wrapped his arms around me from behind, and lifted my feet off of the floor.

"Liam!" I laughed, holding onto his arm so he wouldn't drop me.

He took me back to the duvet and we both fell onto it.

"Stay with me for a while longer." He stated more as a polite demand than a question.

We laid there, I shifted to face him, whilst being wrapped in his arms.

"Okay." I smiled.

He pulled me closer to him and kissed me. I didn't really mind being shirtless as much as I should have. I just wanted to stay in his arms and never leave.

It was silent. We were both on our sides. I was so close to him that my nose touched his chest. His chin laid on the top of my head.

Liam's POV:

I couldn't imagine any moment better than this one. Just being here with her made my heart race. I still can't wrap my head round the fact that someone could treat her terribly. Every moment I spend with her is a moment cherished. I couldn't imagine feeling this way with anyone else. I immediately thought of the girl in the car when Jackson and I had that fight. The girl he was cheating on Tara with. I still haven't been able to find a way to tell her. I don't know how she'll take it.

"Do you have any plans today?" She asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh?.. Erm.. No, none that I know of. Do you?" I asked.

"No. I was hoping we could go somewhere together. I don't care where."

"Uh.. Tara. I have to tell you something." I said slowly.

"What?" She asked leaving my arms, sitting up.

I supported my head with my hand and looked up to her.

"Erm. Whilst I was at your flat.. You already know Jackson and I had an altercation, but um. He -uh."

"Liam tell me." She demanded waiting for bad news.

"He had brought someone with him. Uh.. I guess he had been seeing her for a while.."

A slight gasp escaped her lips. She looked down at her hands. A few tears fell from her eyes.

"Hey." I whispered to her as I touched her shoulder. "I will never do that to you."

She looked back up to me, sniffling. "I know.. It's just, I spent this whole time with someone who made me feel like rubbish, only to find out he was with someone else."
