Forever Is A Long Time

Standing in the doorway was Dean. I breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it wasn't Dylan.

"Help a little?" I asked Dean, gesturing at Liam's sleeping figure.

He smirked, shook his head, walked out and closed the door behind him. I huffed and tried to push him off of the bed and wake him, but to no avail.

I gave up, something I won't normally do, and then I felt it. His body shaking lightly, and then I looked up at his face. He had a smirk plastered on his face and his eyes were barely open but he was awake.

"Let me go, you baboon." I told him sternly.

He thought about it and shook his head, grinning. I turned around with a lot of struggle but finally managed.

"Why? Just lift your arm and I'll get out. Easy enough." I said.

He smiled at me and he had dimples. It was so cute. I put my arms on his chest, only now realizing he wasn't wearing a shirt but it didn't bother me, and tried to push him away. Guess what? He didn't budge.

He just laid his head back down and closed his eyes again. I heard his soft snores minutes later. He fell asleep again. Hopefully Dylan doesn't come in here looking for me. That wouldn't be a good encounter with him.

I laid my head back down again, closing my eyes and surprisingly I fell asleep again.

I woke with a start as there was a loud knock on the door.

"Wake up sleepy head!" someone, who I recognize as Dylan, shouted from outside the door then I heard footsteps walk away.

Liam groaned next to me and pulled me back to him. I looked at the clock. It was already 12pm.

"Liam wake up. It's already noon. Dylan is gonna come in here sometime if we don't get up. So get up and leave."

He opened one eye, looked at me a moment and then closed his eyes, but let me go.

I went to the bathroom and told him he better be gone once I get out.

I took a nice long shower and then dried myself wrapping myself and my hair in towels.

I walked out and Liam was still on the bed but his eyes were closed so I hurried to the closet, grabbed clothes and when I turned, I bumped into Liam's chest.

I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. I walked around him since I saw he wasn't gonna move and towards the bathroom. I got changed and brushed my hair, leaving it to air dry. I already brushed my teeth so I left the bathroom to find the room empty.

I went to the kitchen and after I finished lunch, Liam walked through the front door.

"Did you enjoy your walk?" Dylan asked and Liam just nodded, smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes and took the food to the guys and sat down myself. The only spot left was beside Liam. He grinned at that and after I sat down he put his one arm on the back of the couch behind me.

I'm going back home today. I don't want to leave my brother. And for some reason I'm going to miss Liam a lot too. I've gotten to know all the guys but haven't gotten close to them, especially not so close that I physically hurt thinking of leaving them.

Every night after that 1st one, I locked my door so Liam couldn't come in and each morning he asks why.

He's a stranger and I don't sleep with a stranger, or people at all. We've gone to the beach each day after breakfast or somewhere else and all of us would hang out together the whole day. And Liam would constantly have contact with me, or he would glare at any guy who looked at me.
