She's Different

Chapter Eight

I woke up the next morning in Liam's arms. He was still sound asleep. This is insane. My mum would kill me. 

I felt a pair of lips pursue and lightly touch the back of my neck. My lips curved into a smile. The grip around my waist got tighter but I was able to breathe with ease.

Liam must have thought I was still asleep as he continued to kiss around the back of my neck. 

"I love you" Liam whispered after every kiss he planted on my neck. 

I stirred, pretended as if I just woke up. 

"Morning babe" Liam smiled hovering above me. He leaned in to kiss me and I kissed back.

"Morning handsome" I mumbled, still sleepy abit. 

There was no college today. So we had the whole day to ourselves. Well we could have, if my mum knew where I was and what I was doing.

"I'll have to go home. My mum" I didn't know who to finish the sentence. I saw the look of hurt and dissapointment on Liam's face as he hovered above me. Both arms either side of my head.

His brown eyes staring deep into mine. Liam nodded slowly. Moving off me he rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. Probably remembering what happened the other day with my mother.

I wish it could be different but it isn't. It wouldn't be different.

"I'll get you some breakfast then I'll drive you home" Liam spoke without a hint of emotion. 

I had a feeling I upset or annoyed him. Perhaps both. 

"O-okay" I stuttered. Not really knowing what to say.

Liam swiftly moved out of the bed and out the room, without looking at me once. 

I sat up, holding the blanket to my chest, I looked around the room. It was emplty really part from the few odd picture frames on the tables and walls.

One picture was of a young boy in a swimming pool, smiling happily at the camera.

I picked up the picture and stroked my finger over the boy's face. The picture frame behind it had the same boy but older, on some steps, wearing a full black suit, shoes and shirt but a silver tie, and some older women and men standing behind him, his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" came Liam's voice, so suddenly I dropped the picture on the floor. The glass smashed all over the floor. Liam rushed over to me.

Blood seeped through on my foot. A large peice of glass was stuck in my foot. I winced in pain as Liam scooped me up and carried me over to the bed, putting me down on it as he examined my foot. 

Carefully he pulled the glass out of my foot and grabbed some tissue from the side and placed it gently on my foot. He never made eye contact with me once. 

I held the tissue in place as Liam cleaned up the glass and put the picture on the drawer and left the room with a handful of glass. Still never looking at me. I sat up on the bed, still holding the tissue in place.

I rested my head agaisnt my knee, tears slowly falling down my cheeks, soon the became more rapidly, then came the sobs. I was crying and I couldn't stop. 

"Don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm sorry" Liam came in and sat next to me, putting his arm around my shoulders and kissig my head lightly.

I cried even more. I didn't know why. I was just sitting there, crying.

"Babe, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry babe. Please don't cry" Liam said softly, pulling me onto his lap and rocking me "baby I didn't mean it. I'm sorry hun. I really am"

"W-why didn't you look at m-me?" I muffled between sobs as he rocked me gently, back and forth.

"I don't want you to go back home. Not after what she did to you. I'd never hurt you ever. I just want you to stay here" pulling back Liam put his hands either side of my face "she hit you. This beautiful, stunning face and I can't ever forgive that. I love you too much to hurt you"

Is it possible to fall for someone this quick so easily? "But we've only just started dating" 

"I've loved you a lot longer than that. Remember when you got kicked out of class? How I said you were keeping my mind off my work? You were on my mind 24/7. I could never stop thinkning about you"

"I-I don't know what to say" True. I was so speechless. How could Liam have liked me when he dated many girls for a short amount of time?

"I dated other girl cause I though they could help me take my mind off you. But it never worked. Nothing could take my mind off you. I love you Veronica" Liam replied, as if just read my mind.

My mouth was slightly ajar. I was so stunned I didn't know what to do, or say "Couldn't you have told me sooner?"

"I know I should have but I was afraid. The way you pushed boys away. I was scared you'd do that to me. Please, don't ever go and leave me"

"Of course I would never do that. I love you" I spoke wrapping my arms around his neck, as his wrapped themselves around my waist and held me there. I could feel him smile as hid lips pressed into my shoulder.

I pushed my weight onto Liam causing him to fall backwards on the bed. We both ended up laughing, rolling about, wrapping ourselves up in the blanket, causing a huge mess of the bed. 

"Oh shit the breakfast" Liam spoke so suddenly, letting me go and running out of the room before returning, grabbing my hand and pulling me with him. The bleeding in my foot hadn't stopped flowing, but that didn't stop Liam.

Pulling me into the kitchen, grabbing my waist he lifted me up onto the sideboard as he rushed over to the oven, opening the door, hastily he touhed the tray with his bare hands.

Liam hissed and cussed. Taking Liam's hands I ran them under the cold tap water, rubbing a soft cloth over his sore hands. 

"We're all accidents today" I joked. Liam chuckled bringing on of his arms over me so I was stuck inbetween him and the sink, both arms either side of me.

"My little nurse" he whispered seductively into my ear, nibbling on my ear lobe then kissing down to my neck evantually resting in the groove of my neck and shoulder, giving me shivers of delight. 

I continued to rub his sore, red hands, my fingers going numb from the freezing cold water.

"It feels better now babe" He tried to clench his hand only to open them quickly again, hissing out in pain.

"No, you mustn't do that. Here" I lead Liam into the living room and sat him on the sofa "you stay here and I'll sort everything out"

"Babe-" Liam started, standing up.

"Sit" I ordered smiling. Liam sat down in a huff, but all the while, grinning.

"Not only my nurse but teacher too. You have to teach me a few things" Liam spoke, smirking turning his head to look at me and winking.

I smiled, embarassed "Well only if your good. Only bad boys get punishment" I winked back.

Liam began chuckling at that "I'm gonna be a bad boy for you then baby"

I laughed, walking into the kitchen. Liam had made a mess of the food. Guess I'll just have to straighten my bad boy out and teach him a thing or two. 

First thing I'm teaching him. Is how to cook.
