Later that day, I had finally awoken from our short nap to the faint sound of shuffling next to me. I stirred for a few moments before my heavy eyelids fluttered open and adjusted to the daylight gleaming through the window. I flipped over on my opposite side to be pleasantly surprised with Liams presence which I had forgotten about for a split second, before sleepily grinning up to him with lazy eyelids.

"I didn't wake y' up did I darlin'?" He groggily asked, his voice croakier than usual due to sleep. He did. But I would much rather him have woken me up than waste anymore time I had available with him, plus it was 2pm and I was fucking hungry as shit. Where's the change there?

"No, you didn't, don't worry about it. I was just super hungry thats all." I replied with a soft smile in which he returned. "Well, get you're lazy bum up, we're getting some food from downstairs." I announced, quickly getting up from my sleepy position, before I could change my mind and stay in the soft, comfortable bed with Liam. As much as I would love to do that all day long, I do turn into a proper moody bitch when I don't eat.

"Mmm, No," he groaned, closing his eyes again, "you're too comfy." he argued.

Before I could retort to his annoying, child-like behaviour, I was swiped of my feet by Liam's arm which was slung around my waist, and was flung into his front as he snuggled up close to me and tickled my sides. "Liam! stop!" I squeaked and tried to squirm out of his strong embrace whilst I uncontrollably giggled. After about 2 minutes, which felt like hours, of Liam tickling the living daylights out of me, he finally gave in and watched me as my laughter slowly died down.

"Oh my GOD, I legit nearly pissed myself you wanker!" I yelled, smacking him in the chest as I still lay in front of him, his arms resting lazily on my hips.

"Wouldn't of been the first time if you had, remember that time whe-n, when," He started, uncontrollably laughing at what he was about to say. "when we were both in detention in year 7 and-"

"Alright! I know! I really don't want to be reminded of that time." I shouted, cringing at what had occurred that day, whilst he continued chuckling loudly.

One day, in year 7, me and Liam had been given a detention In Biology for bursting out in laughter in a sexual education lesson. Liam kept saying some shit about the diagrams of the naked bodies on the board and I couldn't take it and I burst out laughing so Mr Briggs gave us a one hour detention after school and specifically told us that we couldn't laugh and I think you could work out what happened from there. Well, Liam farted from across the room during our silent detention and I tried to hold my laughter in and it resulted in me fucking pissing my pants. Luckily it wasn't a full blown piss but it was still bloody embarrassing.

"Tha' was so funny, god.. the look on your face when you were trying not to laugh." He continued, thriving off my embarrassment. I rolled my eyes and eventually escaped his arms, got up and desperately whined for him to join me. Finally, he shuffled closer to the edge of the bed and extended his arm to me, gesturing for me to help him up, so I grabbed his hand with mine and used my other to grasp is upper arm and used all my strength to yank him up off the bed. He landed up with a huff before ruffling my hair.

"You're a lazy bugger do you know that?" I told him looking over my shoulder as we made our way down the staircase.

"Says the one who woke up at 12:30pm, thought it was morning, then proceeded to have a two hour nap straight afterwards." He said furrowing his eyebrows, pushing my shoulder once we had made it downstairs.

"Fuck off, I need my beauty sleep." I spat back to him. As we walked into the kitchen Alex, my brother, was making himself a sandwich whilst humming along to The Stone Roses. He turned away from his food and gave me and Liam a weird look with wide eyes.

"What.. have you two been up too?" He asked, exaggerating the 't' on the end of the 'what', with an alarmed face and raised eyebrow, glancing between me and Liam. I gave him a confused look before turning to face Liam who returned an equally confused expression. Then it hit me. Me and Liam both looked like had been dragged through a bush backwards, our hair was scruffy and both our faces were flushed red and slightly sweaty due to my warm bedroom. We looked extremely dodgy. I immediately cringed at what my brother was suggesting.

"God! Alex no!" I scoffed, furrowing my eyebrows and shaking my head whilst I waved my arm around in frustration and embarrassment. "We had a nap!" I added as Liam nodded along, not wanting my brother to get the wrong impression, not that Liam would give a shit at what he thought anyway. Let's just say, well, Liam didn't exactly get along with my brother.

"Alreyt, but listen here Gallagher, you best not be getting me sister involved in any of your funny business, pal." Alex warned Liam, moving closer to him and pointing his finger close to his face. Alex knew about all the girls Liam has hooked up with in the past and he was always paranoid that he'd treat me like one of them. Liam immediately shoved Alex's hand out of his face, stepping up to him.

"Get ya' fuckin' finger out me face, who d'ya think you are, ey? And I won't be getting Lu into anything she doesn't want to do and anyways, thats none of your fuckin' business what she does. She's old enough to make her own decisions and she don't need you up her arsehole every ten seconds, alright?" Liam spat squaring up to Alex. Alex went red in anger and inhaled loudly, glaring at Liam as if he could kill him at that very moment.

"Alex." I warned him with a strong glare, "Leave it." I demanded. He hesitated for a second, looking over to me then back at Liam, before he eventually huffed and composed himself, walking away with clenched fists.

"Twat" I heard him mumble through gritted teeth, luckily Liam didn't hear that because if he did, it would have definitely set him off. Once Alex was out of sight, Liam spoke up.

"What the 'ell is his problem?" He scoffed, looking over to me.

"No, what the hell is your problem? The both of your problems? why can't my brother and boyfr- uh best friend just get along?" I asked myself, mentally face palming myself for nearly letting the word 'boyfriend' out, he hadn't asked me yet. Actually, forget 'yet', he probably won't ever ask me. Not that I wouldn't like him to, in fact, I would fucking love to be Liam's girlfriend. These past two days i've really started to notice my true feelings towards him, although I have no idea if he felt the same way, like I know we snogged, but it that was more of an 'in the moment' kind of thing.

"He started it," Liam shrugged, "But I'm sorry Lu, you should't have to watch us argue all the time." He said softly with a slight frown. He genuinely looked sorry, my heart ached at the look on his face. I walked over to him and grabbed his hand.

"Don't be sorry Li, it's not your fault. You can't get along with everybody, plus, you were right, he did start that." I reassured him, softly squeezing his hand. He raised his head and pulled me into a warm hug, rocking me side to side,

"Sorry, it just upset me that you felt that way, doll." He said into the crook of my neck before pulling away with a cheeky grin. doll, huh? Thats a new one and its going to kill me every time he uses it, I can already tell. And by the massive grin on his face, I could tell he was up to something.

"What's got you smilin' , Gallagher?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows and a curious face.

"It's just what you nearly said before; boyfriend eh?" He teased laughing at my immediately reddened face.

"I- I did not." I told him, shaking my head quickly and crossed eyebrows, stuttering in my embarrassment. I'm so dumb. He's going to tease me about this forever.

"Why you getting so embarrassed Lu Luuu? It's not like you'd want to my my girlfriend.. or would you?" He grinned, pushing my shoulder with his, feeding off my embarassed expression. I turned away and started to look into the fridge, as my face flushed an even deeper red. "I'm only teasing ya' Lu," he laughed, "I already know the answer to that question.." He mumbled almost inaudibly, holding an even wider grin.

"Ugh, whatever Liam." I sighed.
