You and I (Styles Triplets)

Chapter 3

It's currently 3:00 in the morning and I can't sleep for shit. All I can think about is Liam and how he "likes me a lot".
I mean...Really?!

I looked over at him laying beside me. We were both still naked from our moment we had. We've been together for almost four years now and he still hasn't told me he loves me. That's why I'll never tell him that I love him, I'm afraid he won't say it back.
Yep, I love him. I love Liam James Payne, my bestfriend.
I need some advice..

Without thinking, I picked up my phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" A groggy voice answered.

"Harry...hi." I almost whispered.

"Alex? Hey...what's going on? Are you okay?" He asked suddenly becoming worried.

"No. Sorry, I don't know why I called you. You're the first person I thought of." I admitted, "I just needed some advice I guess. I'll call you tomorrow though."

"It technically already is 'tomorrow'." He laughed, "What's going on? It's been a while."

"Well I've still been dating Liam." I started, "He hasn't told me he loves me yet."

"How long has it been? Three years?" He asked.

"Almost four." I answered sadly.

"I don't understand him sometimes." Harry admitted, "He should have told you by now."

"Yeah, I know. He just never has. He acts like he does, but just never tells me." I explained, "But I love him, Harry. I really do."

"Talk to him about it." He stated, "Have an adult conversation."

"Well you see...that's the thing. I have before, a while back."

"How'd that go?" He asked.

"Well...we got into an argument and he told me that I should already know how he feels without having to say it." I explained, "Sooo, not too well."

"Just mention it again. Or you say it first." Harry said. There was a slight pause over the phone.
"Alex?"

"Yes?"

"Mom misses...I mean...we miss....I miss you. We all do." Harry said shyly into the phone.

My heart ached. I loved Harry and Anne. They're like ya second family. We've been through it all together.
"I miss you too. All of you, it's been a while." I admitted, "It's just been so long."

"Then come down here." He said suddenly, "Come say hi."

"What?" I asked a bit taken back.

"Come down here. Alex, for Christmas you'll already be with your parents so just stop by here too." Harry told me, "Really, we'd love to see you."

I smiled to myself, "Oh...wow. Um...Okay! Yeah, we'll do it. Christmas is only a few weeks away."

"I'll tell mum in the morning! I can't wait to see you!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"You too! Well, Haz, I should let you get to bed. Thanks for your help." I smiled.

Harry chuckled, "Anything for you, Alex. See you soon."

"Alex, babe."

I woke up to the sound of Liam's raspy voice, "Yes?" I breathed.

"Baby, are you awake?" He asked.

"Mhm." I replied, eyes still closed.
Before I knew it his lips were on my neck, kissing and sucking on my weak spot. "Liam." I smiled, opening my eyes, "Stop that."

"Are you up now?" He smirked.

"I am." I answered, "Now what do you want?" I asked.

"I just wanna talk with you and be with you." He smiled, wrapping his strong arms around me.

Sitting up, I looked at him in the eyes, "Yeah what do you really want? A morning blowjob?"

"Will you make me breakfast, pleaseeeeee?" He begged, sticking his bottom lip out.

"Sure." I sighed, getting up out of bed.

"Forgetting something?" Liam asked as I reached the doorway, "Like maybe your clothes?"

"No." I smirked, swaying my hips as I walked off to the kitchen.

As I grabbed the eggs out of the fridge, I felt Liam's hands snake down to my hips. "How about sex after breakfast?" He asked in my ear, "Or you could be my breakfast."

"We'll see." I said, looking up at him. "Now moveeee I gotta make my eggs."

"Babe, who did you call last night?" Liam asked out of no where.

"W-who did I call?" I replied, "Just Harry. Why? How much did you hear?"

"Just something about Christmas." He answered, jumping up onto the counter.

"Oh."
He didn't hear it all, thank god.
"Yeah I just had to ask about Christmas and I was worried how him and Anne were doing. They always get so depressed during Christmas time. Marcel used to always be so ...alive during that time."
Technically it wasn't a FULL lie.

"Oh well that's nice of you, dear." Liam said as he grabbed my robe from the bedroom and brought it to me, putting it on me.

After I made our eggs, I decided to cook up some bacon as well. Liam and I loved bacon on a Tuesday morning.
As I was cooking, I started feeling oddly sick.
"Hun? Are you okay?" Liam asked, noticing my odd behavior.

"Mhm. Yeah, I just don't feel too well." I explained, "I'm sure it's nothing."

I continued to turn the bacon until I started feeling like I was going to throw up. That's when I dropped my tongs, ran into the nearest bathroom, and threw up in the toilet.
As I sat up from the floor, I felt my stomach getting weak again. The smell of bacon in the air made me feel extremely nauseous and caused me to throw up again.

"Babe? Alex, are you okay?!" Liam came rushing into the bathroom beside me and held my hair back.

"I don't know." I answered, "I can't stand that smell. The bacon is just-" I cut off my sentence as I felt the need to throw up again.

"Alex, I'm going to go take it off the skillet. Hold your hair, here's a hair tie." He said as he handed it to me.

Quickly, I pulled my hair back and flushed the toilet to get rid of my volmit. With my left foot, I stretched it out and kicked the door shut to keep the smell from creeping back to me.
About 30 minutes passed by before Liam came back into the bathroom and helped me to my feet.

"I think you might have a fever." Liam told me as he handed me my toothbrush.

After I brushed my teeth, I walked back I to our room and sat down on the bed.
"I think I need to lay down."
Liam scooped me up and laid me in the sheets, next pulling the covers over my body. "Thanks."

"I'll go get you some water." He said, already half way out the door.
After he set my water next to my night stand he gave a quick call to my mom just to keep her informed.
"Okay, you get some rest, babe." He told me and started to leave the room.

"No." I said extending my arms out, "Hold me."

He turned around, got himself under the covers, and latched himself into me. "Better?"

"Much better." I smiled.
