One Direction One Shots

Then - { Liam Payne }

I really liked how this one turned out, and it's told from Liam's POV and based off the song Then by Brad Paisley. It's a good song, you should look it up! I hope you guys enjoy :)

I remembered it so well. She had been wearing simply a white bikini bathing suit underneath a long, grey knitted sweater, her blonde hair was damp and tousled as she walked along the shoreline. Stopping every few seconds to bend down and pick up a shell. That had been the first day I saw her. I couldn't take my eyes off of that beautiful girl. When she eventually sat down in the sand, I worked up the courage to go and introduce myself. I still remember that as one of the best days of my life. The day I met her.

Three weeks went by, and before I knew it I was kissing her. We had just gone on an amazing date and I was taking her home. And in the dim light of the porch lamps, she looked so beautiful. I was so amazed to call her my girlfriend. And as fast as it was, that was the first day I told her that I loved her. Our relationship evolved so quickly.

An amazing four years went by, and I found myself falling for her more and more everyday. We were at the beach, the very beach where we had met when I proposed to her.

And I thought I loved her then.

But now, as everyone in the audience stood, the music changed, and I saw her; I didn't think I had ever loved someone as much as I loved her in that moment. The white dress she wore was gorgeous, perfect. Her hair was pulled to the side in a fancy messy bun, with a white flower pinned and a few strands loose. She clung to her fathers arm as they slowly walked down the aisle, one step at a time. My heart raced faster as they approached, and I smiled at her reassuringly. Her father took his arm out from hers, gave her a kiss on the cheek and went to sit in a chair next to her mother. The music quieted and we stood in front of each other. She smiled brightly up at me, but I could already see tears brimming the edges of her eyes. I squeezed her hand, and she nodded.

The ceremony continued, and I couldnt believe it was happening. I couldn't believe I was so lucky to have her. Eventually, the words I had been waiting to hear had finally been spoken;

"You may now kiss the bride."

I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer as I pressed my lips onto hers. I had never felt so lucky. Everyone cheered and clapped and I felt her smiling into the kiss. Our lips separated and I rested my forehead against hers for a brief moment before we both turned to the audience beaming and holding hands. We then proceeded to walk down the aisle, laughing and just being happy.

I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with Samantha, and I could just see it. Our future; starting a family and growing old together. That's all I ever wanted.

But what I couldn't see, was how I was ever going to love her more than I did at that moment. But I've said that before.

And I thought I loved her then.
