The Prince's Heart (Ziall, Niam)

Chapter 12

As I was about to pull away, Liam pulls me back and I stare at him, wondering why. My questions were answered when a pair of soft lips pressed gently against mine. I can hear the crowd cheering and clapping but they are all a blur to me.

Liam's lips are soft compared to his entire body. They are warm and just the right amount of moist. We just pressed against our lips against each other-- saving other factors for when we're alone-- but it still felt so right.

Eventually, we both had to pull away. I stared at Liam with an impossibly huge grin. I feel like my face might fall off from how wide my smile is. It is only now that I noticed that Liam has one hand on my hip and another on my face. He slowly removes them and smiles at me.

He turns to the gazing crowd. "Now, LET US ENJOY OURSELVES!" the crowd cheered as if they were not in the presence of 2 pairs of kings and queens but the when I looked around, my mother was whooping and I can't help but roll my eyes fondly.

"Do you wanna eat?" Liam asks me and I laugh.

"I always wanna eat, you know that Liam"

Liam rolled his eyes affectionately and said, "Let me rephrase that, what do you wanna eat?" The both of us stroll towards the banquet table. I subtly try and look for Zayn. I hope he's okay. 

On the way to the huge rectangular table, a lot of people stopped us to congratulate us and we both smiled and said thank you. I recognize some of them as mine and Liam's relatives while others look completely unfamiliar. They must be other friends of our parents. 

 One of the perks of being the main reason this party was hosted is that as soon as the people who were crowding around the table saw us, they immediately parted and left.  Leaving an entire variation of different food at our hands.

I was about to get a plate when Liam slapped my hand gently away. When I looked at him he shook his head and smiled. "I'm your fiancé now; I'm supposed to take care of you now"

"I can get food by myself" I pout. Liam just laughs and I watch as he gets a plate and fills it with one of every dish. My eyes widen when he gets another one and fills it with food he hasn't put on the first plate. "That's all for me? I'm starting to think you want me to get fat so I won't fit in my wedding suit" I continued pouting.

"I know how much you love food Niall and I know for a fact that half of the dishes here are your favorite food. And I doubt you wouldn’t fit in your wedding suit. You have the magical ability to not gain any weight even after you've eaten an entire ship load of food. Which I admit makes me very envious" Liam teases me. 

"Why would you be envious?" I asked him genuinely. "Seriously, you have a body that will put superman to shame" 

Liam laughs again, so light and easy. "Flattery will lead you everywhere. Now let's go place these plates and settle down somewhere" He says. 

"What about you?" I ask, he still hasn't gotten any food. Then, a thought comes into my head. If Liam got my food for me then I'll get his food for him! I didn't wait for an answer and grabbed a plate before filling half of it with vegetables and all of those nutritious food I know Liam eats a lot and filling the other half which cake and nachos and pretty much everything I loved to eat.

When I'm done, I look at Liam and smile. "Let's go" Liam shakes his head but I can see a smile on his lips so I didn't take that he is mad. We maneuver our way around the full tables before coming across an empty one. 

Liam puts down the two plates he is holding before pulling a chair our and letting me sit. I should seriously consider asking Liam to stop treating me like a girl but then again, I am enjoying the attention and the affection. Liam takes the seat beside me and just as I was about to take the fork and knife. I realize something.
