Chapter 7

As we giggle drinking the bubbly champagne, I hear about how my life is. I hear more about all of the exciting adventures I have been on and what I actually did with my life.

"You practically were begging for me on your knees" he smirks and taps my nose and we both laugh.

"I doubt that" I fire back at him, as we erupt into laughter again. I walk over to the side of the hot tub were we had all of our plates of Chinese food. I grab a piece of BBQ pork and chew on it. I turn around to see Liam with a big smile in his face and I go and sit by him again. I sit beside him and he wraps his arm around me and cradles me into him.

"I missed you" he says first slowly "I missed this, I missed us." He whispers and kisses the top of my head.

"I can't believe this is real life" I say quietly.

"Are you happy that it is" he says against the top of my head softly.

"Of course, this is like.. Words can't explain it." I sigh and lean my head onto his shoulder.

I think he knows. I think he has to know how much that I love him. My heart pace is racing in my chest and it's uncontrollably fast. I can't explain how weird it feels to forget a years worth of information, then all of a sudden be famous, have a famous cute boyfriend, and the nicest house. Could you imagine?

"So.." I say sitting up with a smile on my face. "How was your "Take Me Home" tour?" I ask him and his face turns into a very shocked expression.

"How do you remember me going on tour?!" I see a glimmer of hope shine in his eyes.

"Well, I only can't remember the past year, before my birthday I remember you guys starting the first show on your tour. That was before I was famous, and I never thought I'd ever even had a chance...." I trail off. Maybe I shouldn't finish my sentence.

" a chance?" He questions. I don't like people feeling sympathy for me. I don't want to tell him about the countless times I'd sit in my room and cut myself up and down my arms and legs. I'm ashamed now, how could I do something like that now that my life is like this?

" I'd never thought I'd have a chance.. With you" I say, and that's true.

He smiles and it makes my heart jump up and down and can't contain a burst of laughter the erupts from my lips.

"Anyway.. About the tour?" I say again. He never answered my question.

"Oh! Yeah.. Um.. It was really really good. But we could only FaceTime because you were on tour too so you couldn't come to any of the shows" he continues and my smile begins to fade.

"I'd hold both of my hands together all the time" he says while clasping his hands together and intertwining his fingers.

" I liked to pretend you we're here with me, but both of my palms against each other don't feel the same as your palm against mine" he says as I take his hands and separate them and i hold his hand and he smirks.

I love him. I know I do. There is no other way to say it. I know that we are meant to me, why can I remember my life with this wonderful man?

"Can I ask you an awkward, weird, question?" He looks me in the eyes and laughs and I giggle back at him.

"I guess but now I'm a little afraid of what I'm about to hear" he smiles at me.

He probably should be afraid.

"Have we um.. Am I.. I don't.. " I'm hesitating and I just need to spit it out.

"Am I a virgin?" I say quickly. I basically choke it out but Liam still has his cheeky little smile on his face.

"No no no.." He shakes his head. And my eyes grow wide. Not because I care, but because I don't remember it!

"We took care of that a long time ago" he says and I gasp. He erupts in a fit of laughter and I can't help but giggle with him. The way he said it was hilarious.

"Why don't we get out of here and get into bed?" He whispers to me "it's been a long day for both of us"

He begins to climb out of the hot tub and stretches out a hand to help me out of the hot tub myself. We grab our fluffy towels and wrap ourselves in the before going through the sliding glass door. Up the stairs we go and into our bedroom that has easily become my favorite part of the house.

He shows me to a walk in closet and I close the door behind me. I look through all of my drawers until I come across the drawer with all of the pajamas. I see silky baby pink pajama shorts, with a matching V-neck, spaghetti string, silky pink tank top. I throw it all in and walk out of my closet to find Liam already under the blankets, shirtless. Yes, very shirtless.

I walk over and climb onto the soft bed that feels like a cloud, and scoot closer to Liam's body and he cradles me.

"I'm glad that you are back in bed with me" he says quietly and I smile to myself.

" I'm pretty sure you have already said that about, ten times.." I giggle to him, but he doesn't giggle. He softly smiles and says..

"I just want to make sure you know that I love you, and I've never known how much I could miss someone until you got your concussion and I couldn't..." He just kisses the top of my head.

"Goodnight love." I mumble sleepily

"Goodnight, I love you" he says to me and hugs me tighter to him.

"Love you" I barely mumble because I'm so tired. I know he knows what I said though by the way he began to run his fingers through my hair.

I am just trying to savor this moment because I'm not sure if this is a dream or not. Maybe when I wake up,

I'll just be in my old bed again.. Maybe this is a just a dream.
