Stella's POV

"So, do you really like me Liam, are you done with Sophia?" I ask, a little afraid of the answer as I lay on his chest as he strokes my hair. "Yes I do," he answers, "truth is, I liked you since I first met you. I thought I didn't because it wasn't like what I felt for Sophia. But i realize now I was just infatuated with her, I didn't really fall for HER and who she is as a person. You on the other hand, well, you mesmerized me from the beginning, I just didn't realize that's what it was. I just thought, man, we are great friends, I just want to hold her and and be around her all the time!! But that's not really what friends do right?" We both laugh. "I don't think so, but maybe it is for you. I heard about your group snuggle sessions from Harry!" I tease him. He gasps, "that bastard! He said he could keep a secret!" And we laugh and laugh until our sides hurt.

"To answer your question from earlier, yes you can stay the night. But why do you need to? Not that I mind..." I ask him curiously. "Well, I told Sophia to go home but then I realized she took her stuff to my room. I didn't want to see her, so I wanted to be away from the room until tomorrow when she should be gone already," he tells me. I nod, it makes sense. "Ok then, you can sleep on the couch tonight and we'll go check on your room in the morning!" I say as I sit up. He grabs my hand and pulls me back down to him, "I just found my angel in disguise, do you really think that I'm ready to go to bed yet?" He speaks softly into my ear as he embraces me tightly. I involuntarily shiver at the sensation of his breath on my ear and neck. My face gets really hot. He notices this and sits up a little. "Stella, when was the last time you had a boyfriend?" He asks, a little amused. I blush. "Ummm.....3 years?" I say slightly embarrassed. "Whoa! Stella! You're adorable, no wonder it's so easy to get you hot and bothered!" He playfully tickles me. I squeal and turn around and smack his arm, "quit it!" But he doesn't stop, and he tickles me until he's directly on top of me and then stops and stares directly into my eyes. I see his eyes darken as he looks at all of me. Suddenly I feel self conscious. Im barely wearing anything, just a tank top, just some shorts, everything feels like its on display. I want to look away from him but I can't. He leans forward and kisses me passionately. His weight presses on me, as if to desperately keep us as close as possible. One of is hands is cupping my face and the other my hip. We keep kissing and it gets more and more passionate. His hand on my hip travels a bit higher up under my shirt and I involuntarily moan a little. I feel his hand clench a little and relax.

Liam's POV

I stop myself. I won't be able to hold back if I keep going like this. I look at her, her eyes are dark, she's breathing heavy, her lips are a slightly more red and a little swollen. She touches my face gently, and I lean into her hand and kiss it. "Let's watch a movie before bed," I tell her. She nods and smiles and I hug her and lie down on her chest. When was the last time that I felt like there was a place for me to rest. I always take care of everyone, Daddy Direction as they say, but it felt so nice to be able rest on someone else for once. We turn on a random movie, and slowly I drift away into sleep.
