Loved Me Back to Life

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I stayed seated in my current position trying not to look as awkward as I felt, but it was kind of hard when my mind kept replaying that same scene in my head over and over again. I glanced up from my notebook, just for a second, to see if they had released each other's lips, but what I saw was way more adorable. The unnamed boy was slightly taller than Zayn, so he was hovering over him a little bit, but besides that Zayn and the taller boy were standing chest to chest, focusing on each other's eyes and smiling sweetly at each other. I heard them mumbling from where they were standing and that soon turned into small giggles.  

I guess they finally figured it was tie for them to move from the center of the aisles so they had walked back over to the table, where I was still in "awe", hand-in-hand grinning. As soon as I saw them return to the table I shot my head down to my notebook nervously. I was hoping they didn't notice me looking at them because if they did I'd be totally embarrassed and I'd probably have to leave… I mean I should be leaving anyway considering I have class.

"Shelby, this is my boyfriend, Liam." 

I timidly looked up from my low budget doodles to be greeted with a handsome looking guy smiling right at me.

"Hello love, pleasure to meet you."

He extended his hand out for me to shake it and once again I simply stared at it.

This boy, Liam, started looking at me with a concerned and distorted look on his face and Zayn was right beside him mimicking his exact expression. He is the third person, since I've been here, to have introduced himself to be with a handshake. I mean considering I've been here for a couple months three really isn't a significant number, but it's three more than I'm used to.

"Uhm, Shelby?" 

They both stared at me worriedly trying to figure out why I couldn't  or wouldn't shake his hand and I was so embarrassed, feeling their judgmental eyes all over me, but for some reason I decided to test the waters and take a quick glance at the full figure that is Liam standing before me then continued staring blankly at my notepad. 

There were so many thoughts flooding my mind at this moment and the sight of Liam that I just took in was very pleasing. His eyes were a beautiful hazel that were soft and gentle but topped with some caterpillar like eyebrows. His lips were so plump and a soft pink surrounded by grungy yet tamed beard, giving him that rough edgy appeal. He was wearing a regular, short-sleeved crew neck t-shirt that revealed two perfectly sculpted biceps that looked as though they were always being flex even when his arms were relaxed with tattoos on both of his forearms. On his right arm there was a feather and some writing as well as something else I couldn't really figure out. And on his left arm there was a sentence that read: "Everything I Wanted But Nothing I'll Ever Need". which I thought was really cute. He was also wearing a pair of jeans that looked to be a few sizes too big with a few tears in them, a plaid shirt wrapped around his waist and some black combat, looking, boots. He just looked absolutely incredible all around. 

"Shelby!"

I jumped quite hard at the harsh tone in Zayn's voice and when I remembered what was going on before I got lost in my thoughts I felt my heart beating rapidly inside my chest and I was beginning to have a bit of a break down. I stood up as fast as I can, resulting in me getting light-headed, and walked as fast as I could towards the door, my eyes never leaving the ground. I just needed some fresh air because everything around me was beginning to suffocate me and it was getting extremely hard to breathe. The door seemed so far away and the air was getting thinner and thinner. I tried to speed up my pace but my legs were starting to feel like weights and preventing me from going any faster. My eyes were beginning to well up tears and people from every angle were staring and whispering. I tried holding them in so nobody could see them, but there were so many people were pointing and snickering at me that they all simultaneously started flowing uncontrollably down my face. I was finally at the door but then I bumped into some girl and she didn't seem happy about it at all.
