Saving Liam (Liam Payne)

11: The Announcement

I woke up to the sound of breathing. I shift to the other side of the bed and it follows. I mean, I know that I don’t breathe that loud, right? I hold my breath but it still follows.

I open my eyes and I get two powdered faces in mine. I scream and sit up, as the white faces start to laugh. That’s when I look at the faces closer, Liam and Louis.

“You’re both idiots.” I point at Louis, “And Louis, Eleanor told me, so I have something against you.” I say to him, sticking my tongue out at his shocked face.

Then I look at Liam and try to think of something to hold against him, but couldn’t. He laughs at Louis and then speaks my mind, “And you have nothing for me.”

Louis walks out of the room while Liam takes the towel he was holding in his hands and brings it up to his face rubbing it around. He takes it away and there are still little patches of white smothered on his face. I stand on my knees, still on my bed, and go to his, cupping his face with my hands, my thumbs rubbing some of the excess flour off.

He smiles at me before pressing his splotched lips against mine.

“Good morning beautiful.” He mumbles against my lips.

I pull away from him, “I will only kiss you if you promise not to scare me again.” I say to him.

He pulls me closer to him, “Fine, only because I can’t stand not kissing you.”

I smile right as he kisses me again once more.

I slip on the dress and curl my hair, getting ready for the dinner announcement. At lunch Louis and Eleanor stood up and said that they wanted to take us out for dinner for an announcement.

I slip on a pair of sandals then grab my wallet and phone. After I finally convinced myself that I looked fine, I go sit on the couch and wait for everyone else. I text my dad, assuring him that I survived the plane ride after I forgot to say so yesterday, and then just go around all of my apps, playing one after the other.

Right in time, I look up just in time to see Liam walk out. He had just showered so his wet hair hung down. He had on a nicer shirt and just plain ole blue jeans along with a pair of navy colored converse.

“Hey.” He says, eying me up and down.

“You like nice yourself.” I tell him in reply to the looks he gave me.

His cheeks tint a light shade of pink, knowing that I caught him in the act of checking me out. Not that I completely cared, I mean, it was Liam Payne checking me out after all.

He walks out the door and leaves me lonely once more, but not for long when the rest of the boys and their girls come tumbling into the room.

“Everyone ready?” Louis asks everyone.
