I Would (Liam Payne/ 1D FanFic)

Chapter 28

Ha! I told you I would update xD and only two days later xD!!

For a second I am shocked. A million things rush through my brain, but I am unable to speak even one. Honestly, I a unsure about how I should be processing this. There is an erruption of hyperactive butterflies fluttering around in my stomach that I can't contain and I'm pretty sure that I'm blushing like crazy.

"Meet me at the front door in five," Liam repeats then heads away in search of the boys. He was smirking when he left. Just the sight of it sends tingles up my spine.

It's obvious that I have a crush on Liam, but what about Xenen? Technically we haven't broken up yet, and I have to have feelings for him still, right? He's my first boyfriend and I had my first kiss with him. That must mean something. And okay, he made a mistake, but it's not like it's the end of the world. It's probably just the distance that's getting to his head. But... where does that leave Liam? As my friend.

I begin making my way to the front door, feeling a little better with my new conclusions. Don't get me wrong, I still feel horrible that Xenen cheated on me, but at least things make more sense to me now. Xenen was probably just missing me so much he wasn't able to make a rational decision when Christianna flaunted herself at him. Yeah. That sounds right.

Making it to the door, I wait for probably only two minutes before Liam joins me again. He opens the door and allows me to step out. Xenen never holds the door open for me... Ugh! Why am I suddenly comparing everything about Liam to Xenen? This needs to stop like, now!

"You are such a gentelman," I playfully tease, adding a giggle.

"Of course, for a fine lay such as yourself," he responds with a small bow. I giggle even more before he takes my hand and presses his lips to it. His lips linger for a moment before he pulls away and shoves his hands into his pockets. "So, are we going or not?"

"Oh, yeah."

Suddenly I don't want to go home, but I don't want to be at this club anymore either. I want to just be... with Liam.

I follow him to his car, shaking my headat my foolish thoughts Xenen, think of Xenen. And I do. A small smile forms on my lips at the memories of us, but there aren't any butterflies.

Once Liam and I are situates in his car, he turns to face me.

"So, where are we going?"

Liam's question catches me off guard. Hadn't I told him I want to go home?

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"C'mon Della, we both know you don't actually want to go back to your tour bus. So where is the destination?"

"How do you know I don't want to go home?" I don't intend to be sassy, but that's the way it comes out. Liam chuckles.

"First of all, if you were to get back early then Lily and Kelsey would bombard you with questions and not leave you alone for the rest of the night," he states with a knowing smirk. Gosh, he's right. "Second, if you were to go back now then this night wouldn't be finished properly and you would just be tossing and turning for hours tring to get sleep. And third," he looks into my eyes with a sudden seriousness and passion I can't explain, "if you were to go backnow, then I'll go back to my tour bus kicking myself for returning you sad when tonight was supposed to be fun."

I smile. Never, in my entire life, has a guy given me a speech like that before. Evenif Liam and I are just friends, I can't help but feel that small tug when I'm around him.

"Okay."

We end up going out for frozen yogurt then walk to a nearby park. And now, now we are lying side by side in the slightly damp grass, admiring the stars.
