Opposites Attract

Chapter 20

Zayn's POV:

The stars shone in between the branches of the willow tree and there was a slight breeze that made me pull the blanket tighter over Liam and I, considering we were still naked from earlier. Liam had his head on my chest and I had my arm wrapped around him, holding him close to my body. He was sound asleep and had a small smile on his face as he snuggled closer to me. I couldn't help but smile as I looked down at him. He had just given himself to me and I couldn't be happier. I loved him so much and now I knew that he felt the same way completely. I stared back up at the sky, still smiling to myself. It was perfect, him and I. I hoped that Louis and Harry could have the same thing that Liam and I did... Louis clearly had some issues but Harry seemed like the person that would work with him and if he was patient, I knew they could have something really special. Louis was already changing since he'd been with Harry... hand holding, cuddling, sleeping over... As the thoughts ran through my head, I felt myself slowly start to drift off, my heart fluttering.

 A chill shot through my body and I woke with a start, waking Liam next to me.

 "Sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you." He smiled tiredly at me, snuggling closer.

"It's ok." I pulled him closer to me as he shivered. "I'm cold."

"You want to go back to the dorm?" He nodded and he reached for his clothes next to the blanket. We got dressed and gathered the blankets, making our way to the car. As we entered Liam's room and shut the door, Liam gently pushed me against the door and kissed me, not roughly but gently then pulled back, his cheeks red. "You're cute." I whispered, running my hand over his cheek and he blushed even more.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you! Harry texted to me and said he talked to Louis about switching rooms... like you 'live' in this room with me, and Harry with Louis, ya know?" He seemed extremely nervous as he told me and I hugged him.

"I like that idea... a lot." Liam smiled wide.

 "Sweet."

 "I can go get some of my stuff now, if you want." I said, my heart racing; this just made what happened last night even better.

 "Yeah, ok! I'll jump in the shower while you do." He stepped up on his tiptoes and kissed me.

 "I'll be back soon." I started walking towards the door.

 "Hey Zayn?" I turned around to face Liam. "I love you." I smiled and blew him a kiss.

"Love you too!" Then I left the room, heading to mine quicker than I meant to. I walked into the room and instantly started packing a bag of clothes. The door opened and closed and I looked up to see Louis leaning against it, looking a little flustered. "Hey Lou, you ok? How were classes?" I asked as I shoved two shirts in my bag.

"Fine..fine." He said, his face blank as he sat on his bed.

"Lou, what's wrong?" I sat next to him, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"Um.. Harry invited me to go with him to his parents this weekend."

"Ok, and?" I expected he said no.

"I said I'd go." I looked at him, shocked. Louis was just full of surprises lately.
