Finding My Way {A One Direction Fan Fiction}

Ch. 16

A/N - Okay, I am extremely, incredibly bored and antsy right now. I thought it would be nice doing absolutely nothing all day, but I was way wrong. I literally feel like screaming and running around and hanging out with friends. My parents are out of town, and bro left for a party and will be back god-knows-when. So FML. SAVE ME PLEASE!! Yeah..... that sums up my emotions right now. So this chapter may be crazy. Haven't decided. :p  But it will be long.... I have nothing else to do so you guys get a long one!! Thanks for all the support and lovely comments!! Also, this story is dedicated to @LianEh cause she always leaves the best comments... she's super sweet and a great writer so go check out her story!!! OH!! One last thing... promise!!! The video I put up for this chapter is "You Are So Beautiful." IT'S SO DAM GOOD!!!!!!!!!! (Zayn's solo is soooooo good)

Rose's P.O.V.

I woke up that morning at 8:30.... my usual time. Haley was still completely passed out beside me. I have a king-sized bed so we just share whenever we have sleepovers. I took a long shower, enjoying the hot water and steam. It felt great to relax for a bit. The outfit took a lot of thought. Liam and I were going on a picnic, so it was obviously casual, but I still wanted to look my best without loking like I tried. Easier said than done. I ended up with a black causal sundress with a cute design at the bottom and black flip flops. I straightened my hair, applied natural looking make-up and went downstairs. By now it was 10:30 (We were leaving at 11:30) and I still needed to eat and pack everything! I grabbed a Nutrigrain bar since I was going to be eating again soon and started making sandwiches.

I was humming along to "Moments," which was playing on my iPhone, and packing our lunch (two PB and J's, grapes, Doritos, and cookies) in a basket when Liam walked in. 

"Good morning!" I said cheerfully. He looked better than he had last night.

"Hey. You should have told me you were making the lunches; I would have helped," he said disapprovingly.

"Don't be dumb. This is my treat, just for you," I said winking at him. I looked him over. He was wearing skinny jeans, a plain black v-neck, and converse. Simple and sexy.

"Like what you see?" he said teasingly, noticing me checking him out.

"Definitely," I said, smacking his butt as a walked by him. "C'mon. Let's go."

Fifteen minutes later we pulled up to Royer Park. I loved this place; yes, it had a little kid playground, but the park was massive with tons of shady trees that provide privacy. 

"How about this spot?" I asked, gesturing to a patch of grass under a huge oak tree. 

"It's great!" Liam replied. I spread out the blanket and laid on my stomach, patting the space next to me for Liam to lay on. 

He sat upright, his legs laid out in front of him and reached for the food. I sat up as well and we dug into the food. 

"How come food always tastes better on picnics?" I asked, looking up into Liam's melting brown ones. I felt so safe looking into his eyes.

"Not sure. Hmmm.... that is an excellent question," he replied tapping my nose. My breathing sped up, just in time for him to lean away and take a chip. 

I inwardly sighed. Sometimes it seemed like he didn't like me at all.

Liam's P.O.V.

I had been so close to kissing her. Just going for it. Her perfect lips... so close to mine... But the guys, especially Harry, would have killed me. He had made it very clear that Rose was his. I wanted her though... I could make her just as happy, if not happier. Treat her like a princess. I wanted with all my heart to have her be mine. But I couldn't. I wouldn't. 

Rose's P.O.V.

"You know, I don't even like grapes that much," I commented, popping one in my mouth after a couple moments of silence.

"Me either!" he said, throwing one at me.

"Oh, you did not just do that!" I exclaimed, pelting him with two grapes.

"It's on!" he yelled, grabbing a handful of grapes.

We were totally into it when I felt a grape go down my dress.

"LIAM!!! YOU AIMED THERE ON PURPOSE!!!" I exclaimed, laughing so hard tears ran down my cheeks.

He was laughing too hard to speak. I turned down and quickly grabbed it. I whipped around and tackled Liam so that we were both laying on the blanket, extremely close to each other. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me even closer. Our foreheads were touching as we looked into each others eyes, no longer laughing. 

"Rose... There's something I need to tell you," Liam whispered.

"Yeah?" I breathed.

"I like you. Like like you," he said softly.

"I like like you too, Li," I said, lacing our fingers together. He smiled the sweetest smile I'd ever seen and leaned in. This is gonna sound so cliche, but I saw fireworks as we kissed. It was sweet and short, but the best kiss I'd ever had.

"Rose, will you be my girlfriend?" 

A/N - Okay, I give you guys permission to yell at me for this cliffhanger!!! Haha I really like them! ;) But don't worry, I'm writing another chapter like, right now. :) My new song obsession is "A Team." It's weird... music has become so important to me recently. It doesn't matter that I can't sing to save my life... Music is now a huge factor in my life. And I like it like that. :) So go listen to "A Team" cuz its really uber fantabulous.
