Please enjoy and sorry for not updating in awhile.

I kept running until I reached the doorway into the game room.  I hoped no one would find me.  I just needed time to think about this.  So Liam Payne, THE Liam Payne wanted to date me.  He could have any girl but he choose me. Somehow I though that was insane.  His life was filled with meeting other celebrities, models, people who were more famous and prettier than me.  

Damn you Liam for being so attractive!

I heard a knock on the door and I sighed beginning to play basketball by myself on the machine we had in the game room.

"I don't want to talk about it." I yelled out to whoever was banging on the door. 

"It's Lou Tess. Let me in please." He begged, continuing to bang on the door obnoxiously. I ignored him and kept playing the game.

"Tess let me in or so help me god I will show everyone pictures of you as a baby....naked!" He exclaimed and I immediately ran over to the door and unlocked it letting him in.

"I knew that would work." He smirked walking in the room.

"Alright so what do you wanna talk about? You didn't come down here to just play games, you came here to talk about what happened." I said not looking at him.

"You are right." He started talking." Harry's idea was truth or dare, he got everyone in on it." He said. "I thought the whole Liam liking you was a joke, but when you two kissed and then you ran out of there everyone felt bad.  Liam is actually yelling at them right this moment." He said laughing. 

I sighed and turned my head looking at Louis." Oh Lou, what am I supposed to do?  Liam wants to date me, but you know how I am with the fans and everything.  They weren't that bad when they found out we were cousins, but just think if Liam and I announce were dating..."I said starting to think about all the bad things that would happen.  The names I would get called, fans would harass me 24/7. Louis came up and hugged me.

"I know this is hard for you, but maybe it's not a bad idea to give him a chance.  Maybe you and him just go on a date, see what happens and take it from there." Louis said looking at me.

"Why are you okay with all this?  I thought you wouldn't let any of them date me." I said remembering what he said in the car at the airport.

"I trust Liam the most out of all of them, Zayn's got a girlfriend anyway, Niall is too shy for you and Harry...HELL NO." Louis said and I started laughing.  I could tell from the fans and magazines that Harry was the favorite of the group, and all the girls loved him,  he was the bad boy.

"Where would Liam and I even go. Anywhere we go people will see us."I said reminding him of the gate out front with all the fans. Louis thought for a second and smiled.

"What about your moms restaurant? Can you ask her too close it down  for a couple hours because the band wants to go out without anyone following us?" Louis asked with a smile on his face.

"Hmm that actually might work. But you guys will have to come too, just sit at a different table." I said smiling at my cousin. He always had good ideas. Let me make a call, my mom might be there now." I said taking my phone out of my pocket and putting it on speaker so Lou could hear. "Hey mom I wanted to ask a favor. Louis and the guys want to eat out without anyone being allowed to follow them.  Is there any chance you can close the restaurant for a couple hours so we can stop in grab food. "I said hoping she would say yes.

"Why don't you all come in after the restaurant is closed. I'll tell Jerry and Allison to stay." My mom said over the phone.

"Yeah that actually works better. It'll be dark so it won't be easy to see us." I said and thanked my mom before hanging up. "Let's go tell the guys then." I said before turning off the game and walking out of the game room back to the living room.  As soon as the guys saw me walk in they all jumped up and gave me a huge hug. Liam stood back and just looked at me.  I looked back at him and smiled slightly. 

"We're sorry about the game Tess. Liam said it was a bad thing to make you sad and were all sorry right boys." Harry said first.

"Yes, it was Harry's idea but he talked us into it.  I'm sorry." Niall said smiling.

"We didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.  I'm sorry too." Zayn said still hugging me. I smiled.

"It's okay really.  Louis talked to me and now I feel much better. "I said walking over to Liam.

"And we are all going out to Tess's mom restaurant after it closes so Liam, and Tess can go on a date without having people taking pictures of them." Louis added and clapped his hands.

"Well if that's so...then i'll have to ask you properly won't I?" Liam said and looked into my eyes, taking my hands in his. "Tess will you go out on a date with me tonight?" I said to her. She blushed and nodded her head. "Of course I will Liam.  I would be happy to." Tess smiled and I pulled her into a hug, kissing her cheek.
