Be Mine (A Liam Payne Love Story)

Memories

~February 14~ 

[[Annabelle's PoV]]

*Flashback to one year ago* 

I was sitting on the bench, writing, just waiting for Liam to get back with the coffee's. I was freezing. It was Valentine's Day, but Liam and I only went somewhere for the good prices. I had known Liam and everyone else for about six months now, and Liam and I had become best friends. Almost everyday in February, Liam had taken me out to get coffee. I was really enjoying the time we spent together, but I was also developing a little crush on him. And that crush turned into what I think was love. I didn't want that to ruin our friendship, though, so I kept quiet.

Liam then returned with coffee. "Here, you are Princess." Oh, yeah. That's another thing. He'd started calling me "Princess." Weird, right?

"Ugh, finally. What took you so long?"

"Longest line ever."

I took a sip of my mocha. "Mmm. This is the best mocha I've ever had. Did they do anything special?"

"No, it's your usual order." He looked suspicious.

"Oh. Well, it must be because I'm with someone special." I regretted those words as soon as they were out of my mouth. But now, I regret nothIng.

He took my hand in his, our fingers entwining. "Me too." That was all he said, before he gently reached over, put his free hand on my cheek, and leaned in to kiss me.

I was really surprised. I accidentally dropped the coffee, and put my hand on the back of Liam's neck. Not for long, though, because Liam was soon yelling in pain. I look down and realized I had dropped the coffee in Liam's lap. "Oh, shit!! Uh--" I looked around desperately for something to stop the pain. There was snow about an inch deep all around us. "Lay face down in the snow!!"

Liam looked at me like I was crazy. "What?!"

"Just do it!!" And with that, I pushed him down into the snow.

"What was that for?" Liam looked exasperated.

"Are your legs still burning?" I asked knowingly.

"I guess not, but--"

"Then that's why."

Liam rolled onto his back, still lying in the snow. I lay next to him. "You know what, AJ?" He was looking at the sky.

"Yeah, Liam?" I turned to look at him.

He grabbed my hand again, just like before. "You're the best girlfriend ever."

"So, wait. Are we making it official?" I asked, hopeful he would say yes.

"Yeah, I guess we are."

I giggled, leaned over, and kissed him. "I'm glad. Now let's get outta here, I'm freezing!!"

"Me too! Last one to the car washes the dishes!!" And we both made a mad dash for the car.
