Dark Liam

Chapter 24

"Liam, we should probably be going home now," You say, slightly pushing at his chest. You both have been making out against his car for the past hour. It was incredibly fun, but you didn't want it to lead into something else.

He nibbles on your neck and chuckles, "oh c'mon, just a little longer."

"No Liam. Maybe later," You wink at him, feeling more daring than usual.

"Oh, I see how it is," He smirks, "you're saving the best part for later."

He opens the car door for you to get in, then walks around and hops in the drivers side.

He looks over at you, "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?"

You smile at his sweet gesture, "A few times."

"Good. I always want you to know that you are. Never forget that." He starts up the car, finally pulling out of the theatre parking lot at 11:00.

Tonight was incredible. Being with Liam gives you the best feeling ever. And tonight he was especially sweet to you for some odd reason. Yeah, usually acts nice towards you, but tonight was different. Maybe he was finally trying to change and treat you a little better. Maybe he realized that cheating on you a couple years back was a mistake, and he was trying to make up for it. Well, whatever he was doing, you absolutely loved it.

The drive back to your house was silent, neither of you said a word. Maybe he was lost in thought like you were.

"You want me to stay? He asks as he turns the car off.

"Yeah, obviously I do after watching that movie! I thought I already told you this?"

"You did. I just wanted to hear you say it again," He smirks at you.

You turn your face away from him and flush, fumbling with your keys. You drop them on the ground. Great, it really felt like you were in a horror movie now.

You reach around on the ground trying to find them, but it was no use. It was too dark outside and you couldn't see anything.

Liam kneels down beside you, "Need some help?"

He pulls out a flashlight from his pocket and shines it around on the ground.

"Do you just carry flashlights around everywhere with you?" You ask sarcastically. Who carries a flashlight around with them in their pocket anyway? Apparently Liam does.

Then it hits you. You could've just as easily used your phone as a light to see. Why do you always think of these things so late?

"You never know when you'll need one," He shrugs his shoulders and laughs.

I guess he was right. It did come in handy right at this moment. You were thankful for that.

After a few minutes of searching, you finally find them hidden on the other side of a rock. Wow, how convenient.

You push the key into the lock and open the door.

"It's about time," Liam says, and smirks in the only way he knows how.

"Oh shut up," You reply jokingly.

"We need to do that more often," He says.

You're taken off guard by his comment, "Do what?"

"Go to the movies. Actually, we just need to go on more dates in general." He takes a seat in the recliner and leans back, with his hands behind his neck. You loved how he always makes himself at home whenever he comes to your house.

You're taken aback by his words, "Really?.. I mean, yeah. We need to definitely!" You say, fumbling with your words. You were shocked that he actually wanted to go on more dates now.

He smiles, "So where should our next date be?"

You start thinking of the beach and how you would love to go there with him again. Maybe this time you could plan ahead and bring your swimsuit so you could go swimming this time.

"Oh, um, I don't care," you were honestly embarrassed to tell him you wanted to go there again. You didn't know if he even liked the beach anymore.

"Oh c'mon, you must have SOMETHING in mind?" He crooks an eyebrow.

"I don't know. I was just thinking... never mind, it's stupid," He probably wouldn't even like your idea and what you had planned.

"Tell me," He demands.

"It's a stupid idea," you admit.

"Babe, as long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go. Now tell me please," He looks straight at you. His gaze was so strong you could literally feel him staring into your soul.

"I just thought we could go to the beach again. You know, and go swimming?" Your cheeks flush from embarrassment. You weren't sure why you were so embarrassed from telling him, it was strange.

He frowns, "That's a terrible idea."

You could feel your face getting hotter, if that was even possible at this point. You knew he wouldn't like the idea of it. It was too humiliating standing here in front of him like an idiot right now.

He notices your sad, yet embarrassed expression, "Babe, I'm joking! Don't take things so seriously. I would love to go to the beach with you.," he goes on, "we would have so much fun. We could swim, eat, kiss, and fuck."

Your eyes widen at his remark. "What?!"

He starts laughing, "You're so fun to mess with! I was joking.. again. Well, maybe," he winks.

Wow, you were pretty sure it was his life goal to kill you with embarrassment, because that's exactly what he was doing.

"You need to lighten up. You're too innocent," he says as he gets out of the chair and stands up, walking over to you.

You laugh a little, "And you need to stop making so many jokes."

He smirks, "I wasn't really joking about that last things I said about us fucking."

You roll your eyes, "Lets go to bed." You turn your back to him and walk up the stairs into the bathroom.

He knocks on the door, "Are you mad?"

Why would you be mad? Yeah, you were humiliated and embarrassed, but you weren't mad.

You reply with a simple, "No."

"We'll you're acting like it," he says. You hear his footsteps walk off towards your room.

Oh no, now he was going to get mad at you because he thinks you're mad. But the truth was, you kind of found his jokes slightly attractive. It made him look more child-like, and you loved that.

You wash your makeup off and brush your teeth and hair, then walk back into your bedroom, where Liam is laying on your bed facing the wall.

You climb on the bed and lay beside him, wrapping your arm around his side and looking over his shoulder at his face. You hear light snores coming from him.

You sigh and go over to your dresser to change into some more comfy clothes. Baggy sweat pants and a plain white t-shirt.



You turn the lights off and crawl into bed with Liam. He rustles around when you lay beside him. He must notice your presence because he turns over to face you and wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you toward him. You rest your head on his chest and slowly drift off to sleep.
