Saving Liam (Liam Payne)

06: Cousin's

I get in Petunia, his car and drive to Hot Kaffein; the best coffee shop in town. I get out and walk in and standing in there are all of my friends, and every kind of person. Jocks, nerds, geeks, cheerleaders, and gangs. They have had to expand this place twice already.

I walk over to Amy and when she sees me she gives me the finger to twirl. I spin around for her and when I do I see a familiar black wig and pair of white converse.

I run to him and he hugs me tight, and then Amy comes over and then I whisper to Liam, “Play along.” And then I think of something to keep all suspicions off of Liam.

“And who’s this Lois?” Amy asks me checking out Liam noticeably.

“This is Leroy, my cousin.” Where the hell did that come from?? I look at him and give him a sympathy smile and then I follow Amy to her table to introduce Li- I mean Leroy to all of my friends. All of the guys shake his hand firmly and the girls blush at their lightly given touch.

He sits beside me at the large table, and mouths while they aren’t looking, ‘Leroy? Really?’ I laugh and shrug; it was the first thing that came to mind. His Best Song Ever name. Nice going Lois. Way to be original.

My eyes scan the crowd, until I come up to Jake, Clark’s best friend, and sure enough, sitting next to him is Clark; his deep blue eyes staring at me. He is close enough to have heard anything I have said unless I have whispered it, and he was also close enough to me in person to know that I do not have a cousin named Leroy, but he keeps his mouth shut and his glare on me.

We sit down at the table and all of my friends have to hold themselves back from pouncing on him. Even though he is wearing a black wig, green eye colored contacts, and a bad boy outfit, along with a freshly shaved face, he is still really attractive. Even for my cousin.

Liam’s British accent brings out all of the fan girl in everyone since this school’s student body is pretty much all addicted to One Direction.

“Where are you from Leroy?” Jessa asks him.

“Wolverhampton, but I am looking into buying a flat in London.”

I internally applaud him for not lying that much; he already has a flat in London. He told me in the back of the truck on the way home.

“So your Lois’s cousin?”

“Yeah.” I speak up, “He is my dad’s, brothers, first wife’s, first and only child.”

He looks at me and asks with his eyes, ‘Was that necessary?’ Once again I shrug at him.

“Yeah,” he agrees with his introduction, “I don’t really get to see Lois that much because I live with my Mum.”

“Oh.” They all say in chorus.

Liam gives me and one handed side hug at the table.
