Changing Everything

Chapter 8

Okay, so I realise I haven't updated in a while so I apologise. I felt like my writing was becoming boring and very samey. I'd like your opinions on this so please comment or inbox me! I've spent the last week in The Lake District so I've had a little more time than usual to write and get a couple more chapters prepared :)

He has not just said that! Liam had just quoted one of my all time favourite books. I hadn't always been a fan of The Hunger Games. Jenna encouraged me to watch the movie and lent me her DVD. I watched it and fell in love. The same night, I went on Amazon and purchased the trilogy of books. I read them all within a week. How was I supposed to move on from the fact I knew he was a fan too?

Minuets seemed to pass as Niall and Liam grimaced at each other. Niall still held on to my hand, tighter now than previously. Liam stood close by, so close I could feel the heat radiating off his expansive toned body.

Despite the hostility in the air I could tell they would make it through this. After all I was just a girl, right?

In that moment I knew that they would. They had been through a lot in the past three years and the band would survive a little rivalry over a girl. As a fan, I knew it.

"Okay you two enough of the macho man act." Zayn stepped in.

"You ready to go Leila?" Madison inquired.

"Sure. Jenna?"

"What?" Jenna asked startled, looking away from her beloved Louis. "Oh, erm, yeah I guess we could leave."

"Okay then. Come on we better go before we get in even more trouble when we get home." I replied.

As if he had been ear wigging just around the corner, Paul appeared. "Ready to go ladies?"

"Sure." We answered in unison. The boys all looked a little disappointed by us leaving.

"I have arranged for one of the boys' range rovers to take you home. I hope you won't be in too much trouble."

"Ooo fancy!" Madison commented! Harry winked at her. I pondered when they would become official as well as Jenna and Louis...

"I hope so too, Paul." I mused. "Thank you for the lift home though!"

"It's no problem. We can't have you young ladies trying to catch public transport home at this time of night."

Louis grabbed Jenna's waist and pulled her up against him. His mouth then crushed up against hers. I was gob smacked. It was such a public display of affection from a couple who had met only an hour or two ago. Jenna was completely responsive to Louis. I could see their tongues moving against each other. I felt ill watching! It was then I realised I was staring at them open mouthed and wide eyed.

I then noticed, Madison was cuddled up to Harry. Her hands were in his hair at the back of his neck and his were resting on her waist. He stood at least a foot above her despite her tall frame. She played with his hair while he fingered the flimsy material of her jacket suggestively. He whispered something in her ear and she giggled. Where was the shy girl I knew? The girl I came to the concert with seemed so unsure of boys. She was confident and beautiful, with dark blonde/brown hair accompanied by soft eyes and features. She was petite but tall; model like and cat walk worthy with her figure and beauty. She always wore very little make up, it wasn't necessary. Hers was a gentle soul and she never had a bad word to say about anyone. But I don't remember a time she ever paid attention to a boy. Boys paid her attention of course, though she never realised it. We pointed them out but she brushed it off. She mostly said they were just being friendly. Oh so is Harry just being friendly now then Maddy?! I thought to myself. I struggled to stifle a giggle at that.

Liam turned to me. Niall relinquished my hand, for the time being. "I guess this is goodbye for now then Leila. Here is my number," Liam handed me a folded piece of paper with his number scribbled on it. "I would really like it if you would text me. We can arrange our date for while I'm still in the area. Can I have yours?"

"Yeah, pass your phone." I tapped my number in to his iPhone, saved it under "Leila :)" and handed it back.

"Thank you. Have a safe journey home Leila." He was so polite, such a gentleman. A girl could really get used to being treated how Liam treat me. He leaned in and pressed a chaste tender kiss on my right temple. The gesture was honest and loving. I felt warm inside.

Niall then abruptly pulled me away from a now scowling Liam. He bent his head towards me. His lips centimetres from mine. His eyes focused intently on mine. He was going to kiss me! Oh my days! I thought this night could not get any more perfect! Oh Leila you must remember every detail I mentally observed. He leaned in closer. I could feel his hot, sweet breath fanning across my face as his tongue slipped out of his mouth to wet his lips. I breathed in his masculine scent. It was heavenly. Now this is what a girl could get used to!

The anticipation was killing me. I angled my face towards his and looked down at his lips mentally screaming at him to kiss me. He leaned in closer still with a small smirk playing at the corner of his lips. Slowly he planted a soft wet kiss to the corner of my mouth. As he pulled away he ensured his lips grazed mine, leaving me dazed and wanting more; so much more. "See you later, baby."

This chapter is dedicated to my best friend, Megan. Madison is based on her. Megan, you keep me going. You're so unjudgmental and understanding. I'd say you keep me sane but with some of the things you come out with you are teetering on the edge of pulling me to the insane along with you! I love you to bits and life wouldn't be the same with out you ❤️
