Strawberry Fields Forever

Strawberry Fields Forever - Part Eleven (11)

We walk to the other end of the restaurant and are directed to a black curtain. They boys go ahead and push it aside as Mae and I enter. Oh…my…god. It looks absolutely incredible in here. So elegant and amazing. And it’s black! I love black! We walk in and take a good look. I just stand there and observe my surroundings. Black walls and a round, black table with one of those seats that encircle the table. They have black leather on them and overall, it just looks so cool and amazing…and expensive. As much as I love that Liam and Zayn did all this just for us, I also have that little part in me that’s filled with guilt.

“Wow.” I gasp when a pair of strong arms wraps around my waste from behind me, and a warm chin rests itself on my shoulder.

“So you’re impressed?” he asks me, the smirk visible in his voice, even though I can’t see his face. I turn around in his hands and he stands up straight.

“It’s amazing, but you didn’t have to do all this.” I respond, placing my arms on his shoulders while my hands play with the strands of hair just above his neck. He smiles and looks me in the eyes (my heels make me about his height).

“I know. But I wanted to.” His words send swarms of butterflies off in my stomach and I lean in, placing a short, sweet kiss on his deilicious pink lips.

“Thank you.” I say once I pull away. I grab his hand and lead him to the table. Once we are seated, I look across and I see that Mae and Zayn are still in each other’s arms, kissing and looking at each other, smiling - like they're in their own little world. They break off suddenly and join us at the table, sitting opposite from Liam and me. We start to talk about random things when Mae leans over to me. I meet her halfway and she whispers and idea to me. I blush and look at Liam.

We both go and ring the bell and tell the waiter to put a particular song on. I jump off my seat and take off my heels, Liam having no clue what's going on. I rush over to Mae (who was already there) and once we hear the music, we begin to dance our favourite dance. The Inbetweeners dance.

I remember when I first told Mae about (I had found it out through a One Direction French interview) and she began dancing it. She knew about it because she watched the show, and one time I joined in and we both managed to memorise the entire dance. Ever since then, all it takes is one look, and we just randomly break out into dance, no matter where we are.

We begin dancing and halfway through, Mae and I rush to grab the boys and we drag them to the centre of the room.

“Come on Li. Dance with me.” I say, giggling. He agrees and we start dancing. At first it was just random movements, but we get tired, so we settle for just a slow dance.

Liams POV:

Normally, I would never do this - slow dance in the middle of the room with a girl I'd only met a week ago, because ... I mean, what if someone walks in on us? Then they sell it to the press and then stupid bloody press would find a way to twist it into something horrible and completely untrue. But for some reason tonight, I don’t care. When I’m with Anna; I’m constantly doing things I would never usually do. It’s like she’s they key to this whole other Liam. A Liam who doesn’t care what other people think of him. (And honestly, I like this Liam better). All of a sudden she pulls away. I already miss her hands wrapped around me.

“I’ll be right back.” She says to me, winking. I smile and let her go. I look over to Mae, seeing Zayn and her dancing slow, sexy moves, looking intensely at each other while doing so. Anna taps her shoulder and I over hear Mae excuse herself too and I walk back to sit with Zayn, who is now slumped on the couch.

“Wow.” I exhale.

“What?”Zayn asks, moving his leg slightly.

“Anna.”

“What about her?”

“She’s just so…”I trail off. “There are no words to describe her. She’s just…wow”

“Yeah, I know the feeling. Mae is just so full of life, smart and really nice. And she isn’t one of those girls that wear mini, mini shorts or ‘shirts’ that are the size of bras.” Zayn says with a wide grin.

“Speaking of which, how’s Perrie doing?”

He pauses for a moment.

“Zayn come on. You can’t date the both of them. I mean, it’s just wrong.” I say. I don’t mean to sound rude, but it’s true. Zayn is dating Perrie at the moment yet he is also dating Mae. My thoughts are interrupted by Zayn, finally deciding to speak up.

“I just don’t know what to do.” He says, looking at the ground like it had suddenly become very interesting.

“I’m dating Perrie and I love her and all, just not as much as I used to and I was just going to continue dating her because I didn’t have the heart to break up with her but then I met Mae. And she is just… wondeful. She’s so sweet, and kind, and smart and  just everything I look for in a girl. I think I’m on love with her.”

“But we only met them a week ago? How can you be sure?” I ask him, skeptical.

“We’ll whenever I’m with Mae, everything just seems so awesome. It’s like…” he trails off, having a bit of trouble putting it into words.

“It’s like if I’m having a bad day and feel like shit, just one look at her smiling and my whole day becomes better and brighter. Whenever I’m with her, fireworks explode in my stomach and when I kiss her, there is a spark and it just feels… . Like I was meant to kiss her. Now when I kiss Perrie, it’s just… Bleh. I think it always used to be just bleh, but I was so into being in love that I never realised it. Now I do, and I don’t really know what to do. Perrie is nice and all and I love her like a sister, but that’s all I think. You know?”

Yes. Yes I do know. Because everything you just described is how I fell about Anna. But I didn’t know I was in love with her. I thought it was more of crush. I didn’t think I could ever be in love with anyone ever again after Danielle. But right there, everything you just described is what I feel every time I’m with Anna. And I love that feeling.
