"So where to?" Liam asked  me as he put his arm round my shoulder. 

"i dont know. What do you want to see?" i asked looking up at his perfectly sculpted fetures.

He thought for a moment then looked at me with those big brown eyes, "Wheres your favourite place to go?"

We stopped at the corner and i took a moment to think. ' Where was my favourite place to go? The shack? No, i cant show him that, i barely know him. OH! MCGUFFS!'

"Oh i got it!"

"Hmmmm?" He hummed in respones. I grabbed his arm and tugged hijm accross the street towards ashop that had an old neon sign, 'McGuffs', it was my favourite shoppe in town.

As we walked through the door the little bell chimed. I saw Erma sitting behind the counter going through some papers. She saw looked up and smiled at me, "Oh, Hello Lacey!"she looked over at Liam and her smile grew wider, "And who might this be?"

"Erma, this is Liam Payne, Miss Paynes grandson. Liam, this is Erma McGuff, she owns the store,shes also a friend of mine."

They both said 'hello' and exchanged pleasentries. I walked over to one of the many shelves in the shoppe that held a bunch of little knick-knacks. I was admiring a glass figuine of a mother-bear with her cub. The dim orange light made it look as though the figures were glowing. So pretty.

"Watcha lookin' at?" Liams velvet voice snapped me into focuss. I looked over at himand his face was centimeters away from mine. 'GOD I HOPE MY BREATH DOESNT STINK!'

"The-the bear.," i smiled pointing at it .

"Its very pretty,"He smiled at me. The way the light from the glass figurinesplayed on his features was breath taking.The light filtered through his lashes and made his eyes sparkle. His crooked smile made my stomach flutter and had me blushing.I turned my head back to admire the figurines, hoping he didnt see my rosy cheekc

*Liams POV:

Her gaze went back to the glass trinkets and i couldn't help but notice the hint of a blush on her  soft, innocent face. It was cute. She was cute with her big brown puppy dog eyes. The light made her soft skin glow and it wavered through her chocolate brown waves. Beautiful. Sadly I couldnt help but think of what Gwen had told me earlier. I mean, how could someone who looked so innocent be capable of somethng so....UHG! 

"What?'She was looking at me funny.

Fuck! Was I staring?! Okay, be cool be cool....THE FUCK DO I SAY?! "I'm sorry... I didnt mean to stare..."

She just giggled and walked over to one of the barrels filled with woven bracelets, swaying her hips as she went...damn she had a nice bum. WAIT! I JUST MET YOU!! STOP IT BRAIN!! I followed behind her and stood across from her.

"So why is this your favourite place?" i asked trying to make things less awkward for myself.

"Well, this is the place my mom first took me when we came here," she held out her hand to me," She got me this bracelet." 

i took her hand in mine and admired the purple woven piece of jewlry on the silver tag it said something i couldnt make out.

"I love you."

WHAAAAAT?!?! She must have seen the surprise as my face shot up because she continued, "The bracelet...it says ' I love you'." We both laughed nervously. 

"You said your mum gave this to you?" She nodded. "Where is she now? I'd really like to meet her,"i smiled at her. She tensed and took her hand from mine.

""I'm sorry. did i say something?" She shook her head and plastered a smile on her face,"No...its fine...really. Truth is... I dont know where she is. She sent me here to live with my uncle."

"Oh..I'm sorry...I didnt know." She just smiled at me and nudged my shoulder,"C'mon city boy, lets show you 'round!" She grabbed my hand, we said goodbye to Erma,and went off to wander the small town.

*****************************************************************

We were at the park. Lukys park to be exact. We had run around the small shoppes and she bought me a friendship bracelet and i bought her one too. Mine was green with purple beads, and hers purple with green beads. We stopped by a couple other shoppes and i met people who knew her and my grandmother, they were all nice and i think i made a few friends myself. Ms.Henderson, who was about in her 70's, owned a candy shoppe where we bought some peppermints and gummy bears, Laceys favourite, and Ms.Henderson made a pass at me and pinched my bum. When i told Lacey she just laughed at me and said she does that to everyone. 

We layed in the grass under a tree snacking on our treats. "So, what is it you want to do with yourself?"I turned to herm,"I mean... do you want to stay in that cafe' all your life or what?"

"Well, i dont really know i guess being a nurse was something i wanted to do but there is no way i could come up with the money for school. Plus i wouldnt be able to leave."

"Why not?" I leaned on my elbow facing her petite figure.

"It's home," she said simply as she bit the head off of another gummy bear. She ate the heads first, which i thought was odd but adorable.

We layed in silence listening to the fountains start to sputter water up into the air. Lacey jumped up,"C'mon!"

I got up and went after her as she ran towards the fountains. She slipped off her sneakers and socks and rolled up her pant legs,I did the same. "What are we doing?" i asked in confusion. We were standing next to the fountains which were not shooting water at the moment.

"Wait for it." The water shot up and she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the spray of water. It was so cold and i was drenched. I slid off my Flannel and threw it with my shoes.

*Lacey's POV

His muscles flexed beneath his white T-shirt as he took off his blue checkered flannel. Damn...just....Damn. The fountains were spraying everywhere now and i pushed him into one, drenching him from head to toe. I could see through his white T. He must be a god of epic ABS! 

He looked at me mischeviously. 'Oh crap!' He came at me and put me over his shoulder. as i screamed in protest he put both of us in the way of a spraying fountain. I was now drenched like he was. I stood in front of him, giving him a death glare. His eyes were wide and staring at my body. OKAY SELF CONCIOUS MODE ACTIVATED!!! I looked down and realized i was wearing a white T-shirt as well but what made it worse was the fact that i was wearing my bright purple bra with neon green lace. HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! NO! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

I blushed a dep red and covered my chest. He began laughing. Now i was really embarrassed.

"I like your bra. Its my favourite color too!" He kept laughing.

I couldnt help but laugh with him, all my embarrassment melting away. We took our shoes and socks back to our spot under the tree."Here," he turned and handed me put his flannel around my shoulders and whispered in my ear," I think you need this more than i do." I got chills as he did that and i began to turn the color of a rose.

"Thanks." 

"You're welcome."

We layed back down in the grass, snacking on the sweets as we talked again. I snuggled in his side taking in the scent that came from his flannel. This moment was perfect.
