Say You Like Me {A Liam Payne Fanfiction}

Chapter 7: Deja Vu

I had no idea what time I fell asleep. When I woke up, my cable box said 8:30 in the morning. Aubrey was knocked out on the couch and I had fallen asleep on the floor with a couple blankets. Where was my ph-holy...shit...

I had less than thirty minutes to get ready to meet Liam at Starbucks...I got up from the floor and left Aubrey on the couch then got in the shower. I probably stayed in there longer than I should have because when I got out, it was 8:45.

What am I going to wear?

I quickly (as I could) slipped into a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt and put on a pair of flats. I pulled my long hair to one side and fishtailed it. Not much time to put makeup on, I evened out concealer on my face and flicked on some mascara then ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

I shook Aubrey on her shoulder, "Hey, I'm going to go meet up with Liam, you can stay here as long as you want. I'll be back later, hopefully I'll be able to text you before then."

"Mhmhmhmhmmm," she shooed me away.

I expected her to whine about tagging along, but she didn't so I couldn't complain. I grabbed my purse and the bag with my dress on the way out and locked the door behind me and made my way to Starbucks.

When I walked through the door I was overwhemled with some of my favorite smells again; coffee, bread, and sweets. Liam caught my eye in the corner of the store, where we had sat yesterday and flashed a smile.

"Morning," he said when I reached where he sat. I saw two frappes and two slices of coffee cake, then sat down across from him.

"Um...is..." Should I ask if he bought that for me?

He spoke before I could decide, "This is for you," he pushed my drink and cake closer to me.

"Thank you."

"No problem," he started eating his slice and so did I.

"So...can I have my phone back?"

"Oh! Right," my hot pink phone case came into view, "Here you go."

"Can I ask why you had it?"

"Ehh...I needed an excuse to see you again," he smiled shyly.

"An excuse? You really don't need one..." I wouldn't mind seeing you anyday.

The corner of his mouth turned up slightly, but he did a good job of hiding it.

We finished our cake at the same time, "You want to carry these on the way to the dress shop?" he asked.

I nodded. We stood up and collected our trash.

He held the door open for me, "So, tell me why we're going to the dress store again?"

"My sister got the same one and so I have to get a new one."

His face got excited, "You're gonna get the other dress?!"

"The one you liked? Yep."

We walked down the street and made small talk.

"How was your night?" Liam asked.

"It was alright after I got back from my mom's. My friend Aubrey was over and we fell asleep watching a movie. What about yours?"

"About the same. We got McDonalds for dinner then Niall and I watched the telly."

I laughed.

"What's funny? It was actually pretty boring..."

"Telly. A funny British word."
