I froze at his words. His arms were still wrapped around me but I stood in place processing his words.
Why would he ask me how we met if he already knew? Had Niall told him?
"What are you talking about," I asked, panic clear in my voice.
"Don't play dumb with me Grace," he smirked.
"How- how do you know that?" Liam stopped dancing and looked me straight in the eye.
"Don't worry about how I know, but just remember that I do know." I had so many questions, but I was too frantic to put any of them together.
"He's not my step brother."
"But he will be." My eyes widened at his full understanding of the situation. He unexpectedly pulled me close, his lips right by my ear.
"I don't know what you plan on doing with a wedding soon approaching, but keep me in mind and no one needs to know about this. Ok beautiful?"
I was completely speechless. With that he let go of me and walked away into the sea of people.
I was confused, scared, frustrated.
Don't worry about how I know.
His creepy words replayed in my mind. Had Niall told him and he was just kidding with me? Was he some sort of stalker? And what was up with him calling me beautiful?
I looked around the room trying to remember where I had left Niall. I began to walk, hoping Id eventually run into him somewhere. I felt like I wanted to cry but I was unsure why.
I sighed of relief when his blonde hair came into view. He was shooting pool with Zayn as Perrie stood by watching. I rushed over quicker than I intended to so I was immediately noticed.
"Grace? Where's Liam?"
"He...I don't know." He stood leaning over the table probably figuring out of his next move. Without thinking, I ran to his side messing up his shot. I could see the annoyance in his eyes, but it quickly dissolved when he turned to me.
"Whats wrong Grace?" I watched Zayn begin to strategize his next move, obviously happy that Niall made a mistake.
"We need to go." I scanned the room for Liam and saw him looking right back at me. "Now." I was scared of Liam, and the thought of being in the same room as him freaked me out.
"Why? Aren't you having fun? If you want me to spend time with you baby just-"
"Please? Im sorry but I can't stay here." The concern in his eyes was evident as he pulled me in for a hug.
"What happened with Liam? Did he say something to you?"
"No. I just don't feel well. Im sorry." He nodded, looking over to Zayn.
"We're gonna go."
"What? You just got here." He shrugged.
"I know but Grace isn't feeling too well so maybe another time." Zayn pouted as Perrie walked over pulling me into a hug.
"Feel better. It was nice meeting you," she said.
"Thanks. You too." She was sweet.
I decided to not look for Liam as Niall and I left, and I was glad Niall didn't feel the need to tell him bye.
"Are you drunk? Do you want me to drive," I ask as we get closer to the car.
"No Im fine." As usual, Niall held the door open for me and I climbed in silently thanking him.
"Im really sorry for making us leave so early." I felt terrible that Niall barely got to enjoy himself, but the whole Liam thing was just too creepy.
"Its ok," he said placing a hand on my thigh.
The first couple of minutes in the car were silent. I just hoped Niall wasn't mad at me.
"Are you sure everything with Liam was ok?" I didn't feel like lying twice, so I turned things back on him.
"Did you tell him," I asked.
"Tell who what?"
"Liam. About..us?" He shook his head confused.
"No. Why would I do that?"
"Just wondering." He ran his fingers through his hair frustrated at my silence. We were almost at my house.
"Are you busy tomorrow," he asked.
"I don't think so. Why?"
"Im supposed to be meeting back up with Zayn and Liam tomorrow for breakfast. I wanted you to come."
As much as I wanted to spend time with Niall, no way was I going if Liam was gonna be there
"I don't know...can I let you know how I feel in the morning?" He pulled up in front of my house.
"Sure." We both sat in the cat unsure of what to say and do next. I felt his eyes on me but I stayed looking forward.
"You can tell me anything. You know that don't you?" I sheepishly nodded, still not looking at him.
Did I know that? I mean what was I supposed to say? Hey you know your friend Liam? Yeah well he somehow knows that our parents are getting married and he really scares me. Oh and he also called me beautiful. How about no.
"Thanks for tonight," I said opening my car door.
"You're welcome I think." I playfully rolled my eyes before turning to walk to my house.
"Goodnight!" He called after me.
"Goodnight."
