Humane (Liam Payne)

Chapter 38 ~ Parker

Chapter 38 ~ Parker

When he opened the door, I hadn’t expecting him to tell me he loves me. Hell, I hadn’t expected to say it back, either.

But I did.

I had to kiss Liam; I love him too much. When he told me he loved me, a feeling spread through me, something I’d never felt before. I’d never been in love, let alone having the person I love, love me back. I’m sure I love him more than he loves me, but I know he would refuse that if I said so. I agree with what he said about not being able to give the reasons for why he loves me. If someone asked me why I love Liam Payne, I don’t know how I would reply. I guess I would say it’s because Liam is…Liam. Liam is who I love and it’s insane how things have changed between us.

Like I said, I’d never been in love. I had celebrity crushes before, who hasn’t? When I was younger I thought I was going to marry Chad Michael Murray. But have you seen him? He’s gorgeous. Now that I have found my light, my own little source of happiness, I’m not sure what to do. What if he leaves me?

But then I realize that I need to let myself be happy. All these years I’ve been only feeling anger at my parents, and although they deserve it, God knows that, I’ve never done anything a normal nineteen does. Now that I’m with Liam I feel like I can do anything, and he’ll be right beside me.

I can never repay him for anything he’s done for me. He took me in, made me change for the best, hell; he made me fall in love with him. And what have I done for him? I’ve done nothing. He’s done so many things to show me he cares about me. I’ve done nothing.

“I love you, Liam Payne.” I smile at him, my legs still straddling his waist.

I never knew anyone could smile as widely as he did after I said those words. I never knew anyone’s eyes could have the sparkle his did. Instead of answering, he kissed me again, and I didn’t hesitate to kiss him back. He’s like my drug: I’m addicting beyond belief; if I’m suddenly deprived of him, I’ll be sick and a mess; I can never get enough of him.

But that’s the best part.

“Whatchadoin’?” Liam asked me the next day as I typed on his laptop. I really need to get one of these.

“Just emailing a friend,” I smiled. He kissed my cheek and then left the room.

I turned to make sure that he was gone before I opened the tab I was looking at before he walked in the room. Don’t worry, I wasn’t doing anything bad. In fact, I was repaying him for all he’s done for me.

I clicked the email in her YouTube video description and it took me to my email with her address in the correct box. I bit my lip and then began to type. It was pure luck that Emily was in Miami right now, so this had to happen soon.

Ten minutes later, the email was typed, sent, and I was awaiting a reply. Would she help me with this? I’d never met her before and she was my only option here on such short notice. I called Amabel and filled her in, and she squealed with happiness. I told her to tell the rest of the boys as well, but they had to keep it a secret from Liam. She promised and then hung up, going to tell Harry no doubt.

Liam’s laptop binged, signaling a new email was received. I smiled when I saw that Emily replied. Already? I wasn’t expecting a reply for a few hours, maybe even days. The news I read was what I had wanted to hear, and we agreed to meet in an hour at Suzanne’s Café on Second Street. I told Liam I was going to do some grocery shopping (he handed me a twenty, which I refused although he shoved it in my purse anyways) and met Emily. This was going to be amazing.
