Come And Get It (Selena Gomez/Liam Payne/Niall Horan)

Chapter 6: The Great Escape

Liam's POV

She can't know. Not now. It would be too dangerous. My past has enough crosses to win a hundred games of noughts and crosses games. I need to leave, pronto.

Selena's POV

"You know, I have one of the most cliché faces." Liam said with a shrug. "You know, brown hair, brown eyes. The most common look on boy. I'm nothing special."

I can't believe that someone with a fanbase which prides itself with telling their members how gorgeous they are, still has insecurities. I don't know what came over me but some instinct of mine rushed over to him and gently caressed his face. I looked into his deep, chocolate eyes and whispered, "Don't put yourself down. You are beautiful."

Why on earth did I say that. The shock was on Liam's face as well. Neither of us dared to move. The intense stare carried on. No man has ever had this effect on me since Robert.

This is wrong. This is so wrong. I have to go before I do anything that would haunt me forever. Reluctantly, I tore myself away from Liam and turned around. I forced myself to walk back out of the club, the front way, and hail down a taxi. only when I return to the flat I was renting, I texted Niall that I felt ill. He wished me good night.

**A week later**

I can't let myself get so affected by a touch. I just touched his face. But I have this strong feeling of guilt as if I had cheated on Niall. I had the urge to tell him.

But what could I tell him? Me and your bandmate had a heart to heart and I touched his face. I feel like we are now 'connected'. I'm such a loser.

I need to call Niall. I have been making up pathetic excuses not to see the gorgeous Irishman all week.

"Hey babe." I cooly say.

"What's up doll. Are you still ill with the flu?" Niall kindly asked.

A soft laugh escaped my lips, "Naa, doctor says I have made a full recovery!" I have been moping around my flat watching reruns of ER and stuffing my face with cookie dough. "So, now that I am not contagious, how about we go for a picnic, you know, catch up and stuff."

"That sounds great Sel. what about that park near Antonio's"

"Perfect. See you there."

"Bye babe."

Repeat in your head Selena:

I must become a better girlfriend

I must become a better girlfriend

I must become a better girlfriend

A/N: thank you guys for the reads. You guys are the bomb. I am starting to develop Selena and Niall's relationship whilst still building on the existing relationship of Liam and Selena.
