The Rain

Then I Met You

"Jess you alright babe? What's up?" Liam is standing in front of me and I look up, shaking like a leaf and he holds out his hand, concern knitting his brows together.

"C'mon, Noel's waiting for you," At the mention of Noel's name I force myself to stop, to take Liam's hand and he pulls to me my feet. Get a fucking grip Jess. They don't need to know. You don't even know if... Don't lie to yourself. The boys don't need to know. Get to Noel. Don't ruin tonight.

"Jess?"

"Right! I believe there's alcohol and some lines with our names on it," I force a grin and Liam smirks, throwing an arm around my shoulders.

"As ever Jelly, you took the bloody words right out me mouth," He smiles widely at me, walking me over to our large group at the taxi rank as I snake my arm around his waist.

"How many times do I have to tell you keep your hands off my bird," Noel growls and I laugh, squeezing Liam tightly as I look up at Liam.

"But Noel, he's so cute and he totally uses that against me just look at that wittle bitty face," I coo and pinch Liam's cheek making him pull away in disgust, pushing me at Noel. Noel catches me easily as I laugh, Noel's laughing lightly until I take his face in my hands and kiss him long and hard, catching him by surprise, his fingers burying into my hair as his other hand slides down my body and he grabs my arse, making me smile beneath his lips.

"Fuckin' put her down mate, otherwise you'll be walkin!" Liam calls from a taxi laughing as we realize we're the only ones left and I stick my tongue out at Liam before grinning at Noel, letting him lead me in.

"Liam! Liam! LIAM!" I shout to him sitting in the corner sorting through a pile of tapes, messing about with the cassette player. He looks up at me sat on Noel's lap, craning around to see me for the mess of people going about Boneheads living room.

"Bowie please!" I call and he rolls his eyes, suddenly grinning.

"Only if you kiss me!" Noel rolls his eyes as I give him a stern look, softened only by my smile. Lord loves a trier Lee.

"I'll dance with ya, but only if you put on Bowie!" I say and he gives me a thumbs up, flicking through the CD's.

"You let him away with bloody murder," Noel says and I grin at him as he smiles.

"My love, he only gets away with it because I've like... Shit how do I put it, like he's like in a, a friend zone and he will never cross the barren wasteland to get in my panties because they're like hugely guarded by this great fuckin' knight right, don't look at me like that," I laugh as Noel bites his lip, trying not to laugh.

"Where was I? Yeah the knight! So the kingdom of Pantiosa is owned and guarded by the great bloody gorgeous knight with ridiculously nice eyes and fuckin' adorable floppy hair and should such a knave that is the being Liam were to try invade would receive a guitar to the face,"

"And when the knight isn't about?"

"Then the lady murders him and hangs his body outside to deter pirates and other such blaggards," At that Noel collapses into laughter, his whole body shaking as he howls, making me laugh too.

"You're like next level fuckin' weird babe," He finally says, wiping his eyes and kissing my cheek as I pout, crossing my arms.

"Fine, me and my kingdom are on strike for the next week," I sniff and his jaw drops open, shaking his head.

"Nah babe, Jess, the kingdom and I gotta good thing don't go taking it away now,"

"It's gone, locked up for the season,"
