His Fake What?!? ☑️

Chapter 3

I let him in and led him into the living room. "Liam, these are my roommates, Lidia Davin and Fiona Priestley. Fi, Lid, this is my," paused and gulped, putting on a fake smile since they weren't supposed to know. "This is my boyfriend, Liam," I grabbed Liam's hand and intertwined our fingers.

"You're dating Liam Payne?" Lidia shrieked, acting like she didn't know. Liam and I both winced. "And you didn't tell me?"

"Oh yeah, um Li, I may have forgotten to mention that Lidia is a huge fan. Although she isn't normally this bad," I said, glaring at my friend. Fiona smacked Lid's arm and she calmed down.

"Nice to meet you Liam," Fiona said, holding her hand out for him to shake.

"You too Fiona," he replied, shaking her hand. Fiona grabbed Lidia by her arm and started pulling her towards the door.

"Alright well, we're gonna leave you two alone. We'll be home by eleven Kris."

"What? No, I don't wanna go. I wanna stay here and talk to Liam," Lidia whined as Fiona pulled her out the door. I laughed quietly and let go of Liam's hand as the door shut.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked, moving over to the couch.

"Anything but this," he replied gruffly as he sat as far away from me as he could. I sighed.

"How long are they making you stay here?"

"At least three hours, so you better get comfy."

"Whatever," I turned on the tv to fill the silence since neither one of us was talking. I took out my phone and texted Erika.

Help me! -Kristin

Why? Isn't Liam over? -Erika

-_- that's why I need ur help dimwit! He's being an ass -Kristin

Then stand up for urself! srry hun but I gtg styling 4 a foto shoot -Erika

It's fine ttyl... PS this is gonna be a long 3 hrs -Kristin

I sighed again and put my phone back in my pocket. It didn't seem like Liam was paying attention to the TV so I changed the channel and put on Ghost Adventures. He looked at me incredulously.

"What?" I spat.

"Nothing, nothing. I just didn't take you as the type to believe in ghosts and watch this idiotic show."

"Yes I believe in ghosts and this show isn't idiotic! They're proving ghosts exist with scientific evidence," I replied, glaring at him. He snorted and took out his phone. I turned my attention back to the three idiots on my TV. Yes Zak, Nick, and Aaron are idiots sometimes but the show isn't idiotic. I giggled as Aaron freaked out after walking into a spider web. I heard Liam scoff at me. I've finally had enough of his crap. "What is your fucking problem? I know you don't like this situation, neither do I! But I gave you an out, at least so I wouldn't be in this with you! But you weren't paying attention! No we're both stuck so suck it up!"

"You have no idea what I've been going through!"

"Liam! I don't have to know what you're going through! But this isn't my fault! So don't take your anger out on me!"

"I'm a super star I can get any girl I want! I don't have to deal with this!"

"Then leave! See if I care! I didn't want this fake relationship anyway!" I screamed, pointing to the door. He glared at me and left. I grabbed my phone and texted Maddy telling her that they could come back.

-The Next Day-

"Kristin, you have to wake up!" Lidia cooed, shaking me gently.

"Go away," I moaned. I had gone up to my room shortly after Liam left last night and refused to talk to either of the girls. I knew I had to see the asshole again today though because Modest wanted us to take selfies together and they wanted us to do them at the studio so they could make sure they would get done.

"Erika and some guy from Modest is here," she whispered. She wasn't supposed to know he was from Modest I figured which explained why she whispered it. I groaned and rolled over so I could sit up.

"I hate this, I hate Liam, I hate Modest, I hate all of this," I told my best friend. She nodded sympathetically and gave me a hug.

"I know love, now I'm gonna send Erika up to pick out your outfit because you're leaving with them for some photo shoot thing after the guy talks to you," she explained. I nodded and got out of bed, mumbling something along the lines of getting in the shower. I showered then straightened my hair and put on my make-up. I put on a little more than usual since other directioners could possibly see these pictures one day. I actually put on black eye liner in addition to my usual of foundation, mascara, and tinted lip gloss. When I walked out with a towel wrapped around me, Erika was going through my closest.

"Morning love, how'd last night go?"

"Awful, he was only here for about a half hour before we got into a fight and he left," I explained as she handed me a pair of black high-waisted shorts that I had forgotten I had. I got dressed under the towel, leaving it around my top half since I still didn't have a shirt. She then handed me a white tank top. I changed into the shirt and helped her look through my closet for something else to add to the outfit..

"Sorry I couldn't be more help last night," she said, searching for some accessories.

"Nah, it's fine. We would've ended up yelling at each other eventually," I replied, grabbing a beige-colored moto jacket and holding it up for her approval. She nodded and I put it on. She held out a bag and I looked at her questioningly.

"A gift from me," she said as explanation. I opened the bag and found an adorable pair of nude colored heels.

"Awe, thanks Erika. You didn't need to get me anything."

"I know but I wanted to. And hey they go with your outfit today. You can chalk it up to Modest wanting to take over your life if you want," she said with a smile. I nodded and put on the heels. "You look amazing love."

"Thanks," I mumbled, blushing. We went down stairs and I saw that Lid had made me breakfast and coffee. I smiled at her gratefully and poured myself a mug of the steaming, caffeinated drink. The creepy, bald guy who I now knew as Mr. Gregory walked into the kitchen and gave me a smile. Everything about this man was just creepy.

"Good morning Ms. Brigham," he said.

"Hello Mr. Gregory," I replied, faking a smile.

"How did last night go?" he asked. Luckily I looked at my phone before I answered because Liam had texted me.

I told management tht last nite went great & I stayed till 1130. Lie to them too if they ask -Liam

"It went great," I lied, faking another smile.

"And what did you guys do?"

"I introduced him to my roommates like I- like we planned then he and I watched some TV together while my friends went out. He left around 11:30 I believe," I said, sipping my coffee. I had to catch myself from saying like I was told too since Lidia was still in the room. Mr. Gregory nodded and let me finish my coffee before he spoke again.

"Well, we should get going. Your boyfriend is at the studio today, would you like to come visit him?" he asked. I nodded, knowing I had no other choice. He was only doing this since Fiona was getting her own mug of coffee ready before she left for work.

"That sounds great," I said with fake enthusiasm. Everything about my life seems so fake right now, I hate it.
