Dark Liam

Chapter 23

"Pssst, hey Brooke," Liam whispers in your ear, waking you from sleep once again.

It was too early for this. Why was he even awake? Wait, what time was it anyway?

"Brooke!" He hisses.

You roll over to face him and open one eye and groan, "Whaaaaat?"

"It's time to get up," He says as he wraps an arm around your waist and pulls 

"You need to stop waking me up like this," you say while yawning.

He doesn't say anything. He sits up on the edge of the bed. You stare at his bare back and watch his muscles flex as he stands up and slips a black t-shirt over his head. He turns around to look at you and notices you staring.

He slightly chuckles, "Babe, stop drooling over me."

You blink your eyes a few times to clear your vision, "What time is it?"

He pulls out his cell phone and checks the time, "Almost 1"

"1 pm?!" You ask shockingly. You hadn't realized how late it was in the day. You really needed to stop sleeping so late. If you don't stop now, it will become a habit.

After Liam had confessed his love for you last night in the kitchen, you felt a huge weight being lifted off your chest. You didn't know if he had felt the same way since you told him you didn't want to get back together just the previous night. But you were relieved when he said it. He is the best thing that has ever happened to you. Despite all of the mistakes he has made, you still loved him through every single one of them.

He asked if he could stay the night with you, and of course you accepted his offer. You could never turn him down if he asked to stay the night. And if you ever do say no, he gives you that stupid puppy dog look that he knows you can't resist. It was definitely one of your weaknesses. Just seeing him bring his bottom lip up over the top one, the way he brings his eyebrows down and makes his eyes look so innocent. I doubt anybody could resist it if he ever did it for them.

He smirks, "You're a very heavy sleeper."

You furrow your eyebrows together, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ohh nothing. Just forget I ever told you that," He walks out of your bedroom and you can hear his footsteps pad down the stairs. Oh no, I hope he isn't leaving already?

You quickly jump out of bed and change into a long sleeved plain black shirt, and a pair of faded skinny jeans.

As you're putting on your jeans, you yell down at him, "Liam!" You were wondering if he had left. Hopefully not.

Apparently you didn't hear him walk back up the stairs, because when he peeked his head through the doorway, you jumped in surprise, "I thought you left!"

He chuckles, "Why would I leave without telling you? Oh, by the way, that's really nice underwear. I love the lace,"  He winks, and you realize that you hadn't finished putting your jeans on yet. You could feel your cheeks getting hot. You look away from him and finish pulling them up.

"Don't be embarrased babe. That was supposed to be a compliment," He walks over to you and rubs your arm, making you flush even more. You weren't sure why you were getting so embarrased by his gestures. It was just something that you would have to get used to.

"Is something wrong babe?" He asks, looking down at you.

"Nothing. I just.. don't feel very good." You admit. You were pretty sure you didn't have a temperature, you just felt a bit strange.

"oh, do you need to lay back down?" 

"No, I think I just need some water," You say and walk out of your room, Liam following right behind you.
