Preparations

Liam's POV

The sun is coming in to the room from the patio window and it wakes me up and I get a little confused. Where am I? I look over and see Stella's sleeping face and my heart suddenly feels warm. Thats right, I was supposed to spend the night here and then.  She's completely out. She must have been exhausted. My heart twinges, last night must have been a rollercoaster for her. I can't believe I was so slow to see what was really going on. She must have hurt so much.

I know! I'll make her some breakfast.

...

Scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast and some orange juice. I believe Chef Payne didn't do so bad today. I take the plates to the living room. She's still sound asleep, her curls framing her face and falling out of her bun. I gently lean towards her and kiss her lips. Even when she's asleep her lips are soft and sweet. She breathes in deeply and turns over with her eyes sleepily opening. She looks at me, and furrows her eyebrows, probably confused the way I was when I woke up. She then relaxes and smiles, "so it really wasn't a dream," she says sleepily. I chuckle at her, "nope, and neither is this breakfast that's going to get cold if you don't wake up sleepy girl!"

She sits up slowly and smiles. Her loose curls cascade down her shoulders. She looks adorable as she rubs her eyes and yawns. She looks over at the breakfast and back at me, "thank you Liam, it looks great!" She remarks and we begin to eat.

She turns on the tv and we chat about everything again. I learn that she is Puerto Rican,  which is why she has such distinct features, like her curly light brown hair, her hazel eyes, her curves...I stop myself there before I get distracted. I want to be respectful of her, but I'm so attracted to her. I just want to always touch her, and have her body next to mine.

"So, we're testing out being together this week. Right?" Stella asks, she sounds like she's trying to confirm this. I smile at her, "yes we are love." "So we can like, hold hands and stuff right?" She asks again, she's so cute. "Why yes I suppose so Lady Stella," I tease her. She blushes. "So," I change the subject "today is going to be fantastic! With the music blowout tonight we are going to have a great day. We're going to meet the lads and their gals for lunch, hang out with the guys from Underground for dinner and finally, we are going to dance the night away tonight at the blowout! I hope you brought your sexiest swimsuit because I want to see you in it!" I wink and laugh as her face turns scarlet. "I'm excited," she answers, "especially at being able to spend it with you. " Now it was my turn to blush, she smiles and leans in for a kiss.

Stella's POV

After the delicious breakfast that Liam cooked I get up to go take a shower while Liam waits for me in the living room. As the steam fogs up the glass I think and smile to myself. I couldn't believe how lucky I was. Liam Payne chose me. I giggle a little. Wow. I better wear something cute.

I clean myself off and pick out a short blue summer dress. I accesorize it with a scarf and some big earrings and put on some cork wedges. I do my makeup to bring out my eyes with some eyeliner, mascara, and some shimmery nude eyeshadow.

I step out and announce to him, "I'm ready!" As soon as I do he looks at me and smiles widely, "wow, you clean up nicely!" He winked. I scoff a bit "I try!" He laughs and gets up, "shall we dear?" And offers his hand. "We shall!" I take his hand and go off.

We head to his room, turns out its on the same floor as mine, we both got the high level suites. He needs to shower and get dressed too. He doesn't take nearly as long to get ready as I do. We chat as he picks out his shirt. He takes his time in what he wants to wear. He likes to chat about little things, such as how he made my breakfast and how he found out about the restaurant from last night. He laughs at his own silly jokes, which make me laugh at them too. I just sit there and enjoy being around him and getting to know his little quirks. He comes out in a fitted Marvel superhero shirt and some baggy jeans, so simple, so handsome. I smile at him, "I like your shirtn" He winks and looks at me, extends his hand to me, "Lady Stella, are u ready?" I take his hand and he entwines our fingers together. I feel my face get hot and suddenly feel really shy at the feeling of his hand in mine. "Hey," he calls out to me, "you're beautiful, and I'm excited to have you with me." I look at him and smile and we share a tender kiss before we leave and go out for our first day together.
