Baby Boom || Liam Payne <Complete>

Chapter 27: Wait What?

I awake from my slumber and breathe in deeply. I squirm a bit and pop one eye open but shut it quickly as I look outside my window that has a little bit of streaming light coming inside and onto my face. But, I feel warm. And by warm I mean warmer than usual.

I then remember that I'm not the only one in bed. By the arm draped around my waist and the soft murmurs and warm breathes on my back, I know I didn't go to sleep alone last night. I smile and turn around to face the sleeping figure.

His plump pink lips are parted slightly. His eyebrows scrunched the slightest. I have a minute to myself and take it all in.

To catch you up on what has happened in the last 10 hours is kinda crazy. From where we last left off, which would be saying a 'yes' to Liam about being his girlfriend and giving our relationship a chance, he was there for me when I took my first steps back into my brothers vacant square of a room. I cried, yes, but he was there to hold me. He looked wounded by the sight of me crying and I guess that was when I noticed he liked me enough and cared enough that seeing me hurting didn't just affect me. But him as well. We did find the tags and bows, but we kinda just left the presents unfinished. Instead, we were pretty tired and I let him stay the night.

No, there was no "sexy time" just because there was no baby in the house with us. We might've stole a kiss or 2..... Maybe tons but that was it. Nothing to serious. Yes, there were make out sessions and teasing too, but like I said, that's it. Just stuff average couples would do to each other.

I desperately didn't want to wake Liam but noticing the clock shining the numbers 11:45 in bright red alarmed me. Today was a Tuesday and I was suppose to be at work this afternoon at 12:15. I felt bad for waking him but I know I wasn't stealthy enough to shimmy out of his arms either. So, I woke him with light kisses all over his face. He smiled and opened his eyes. He pecked me quickly before wrapping me in his arms tight and exhaling loudly and resting his head on top of my head. I giggle into his chest a mumble a quiet, "Good morning , love." I can feel him smile and respond.

"Well, good morning beautiful." He looks down at me as I stare up at him and kisses me again. "How'd you sleep? I slept lovely last night and don't quite know why?" He teased.

"Hm..." I look at him with a 'whatever' look on my face. "I don't know? Maybe it's because you used me as a freaking stress toy the whole night! You kept squeezing." I giggle. He smiles and gives me a weird, cute, puppy look.

Knock, knock!

We hear knocking coming from downstairs and look at each other quizzically. "Um, be right back." I say as I hop out of bed in the same clothes from yesterday and exit my room, jogging down the stairs happily. I swing the front door open.

"Mumma..." I hear Jake say. He has his arms stretched out towards me while he's still in Zayn's arms.

"Jakeyboo! How's my favorite boy doing?" I coo as I hold him in the air while he squeals with his fist in his mouth. I laugh and look back at Zayn. He's standing there with his hands shoved in his pockets and a sly smile on his face. Come to think of it, he looks like a greaser.

"Hey Z." I smile warmingly.

"Hey Jay." He responds as I pull him in for a hug.

"No problems?" I ask him. He laughs and shakes his head.

"No problems. He was very good and I think he had a fun night."

"Good. Where's Perrie?" I ask.

"She had a meeting this morning with her management. She went in at about 8:45." He explains. I nod.

"Did you want to come in?"

"No thanks. I just came to drop off Jake. Have you seen Liam by any chance? I stopped by before I came here but he wasn't home."
