The Band I Thought I Knew // Liam Payne {Book 1}

Chapter 9

I am being shaken, the person trying desperately to get my eyes open but I know that I don't want to wake up. Well wake up in the sense of having my eyes open and I'm mobile. It is Saturday, I have work later on tonight from five to eleven so why do I have to be up at what feels like 6 A.M.

"Kira, get up." I am pushed, my arm aching a little from the blow, whoever they are has a strong arm. I don't want to open my eyes to see who it is and my mind is immune to recognize voices at the moment.

"Je-sus what?" I groan.

"Your roommate is home" they say. I sit up and rub my eyes before looking at the spot beside me. Sashene is sitting on the very edge of my bed with a huge smile. I widen my eyes before looking at the other side of the bed. Liam isn't there, I close my eyes and put my fingers against my temples. "Is something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh. . .uh. . .no, everything is great" I say quietly as I try to think if he had woken me up or not. I can't remember him waking me up, maybe he heard Sashene and he slipped out to avoid being seen. I know that it's a little selfish of me to hide the boys and Liam from her but she is a super mega fan and she will ambush him. Not only with questions and hugs and tackles and everything. I don't want her to freak him out and he will leave me. Not that I think he would leave me over her but I know that he would get freaked out, hell I get freaked out when she goes into a fangirl moment.

"Do you have to work this morning?"

"No, tonight, I will have to borrow your car."

"What time because at five me and my new friend are going to the club."

"Five to eleven, I will just get Li- I mean Lincoln, to take me to work" I lie, I know we shouldn't lie to each other because lying is bad but if I said his real name she would freak out.

"You're dating a guy named Lincoln," she giggles "how do you refrain from calling him Abraham, or mr.president"

"I don't think about it," I say "I just think about how he treats me"

"How is that?"

"Really, well he is super sweet and caring, he treats me like a princess."

"Well Princess Kira, I've been up all night so I'm going to sleep. Talk to you later"

"Alright, goodnight" She gets up and leaves my room, I sigh before picking up my phone from the nightstand. I press the home button and it lights up with notifications from twitter and my other apps then I scroll through seeing the text message from him.

*Hey babe sorry I left so early but she got home and I slipped out. I got my clothes from the dryer and put that guys back in your clothes basket*

*Okay babe I'll see you in a little bit? I have to work from 5-11 so I won't be able to go out after that maybe a breakfast date??*

I put the phone down on my bed before I get up and stretch. I pick out some clothes to wear for the day when my phone rings again.

*Yes, want me to come now? We can go out this morning then we can chill at my place for a little bit*

*Yeah that works I have to shower and get dressed*

*okay text me when you're done and I'll come get you*

*K*

I take my clothes off the bed and take them to the bathroom with me. I take my clothes off and hop into the shower. I turn the water on and start to wash myself. I wash my hair and clean my body before I put on some shaving crème and shave my legs, when I'm done I rinse the excess crème off my legs and get out. I dry off and throw on my clothes. I spray on some Ari then go back into my room with yesterday's clothes and thrown them into the hamper.
