Wake up call

"Fuck you Gemma, leave me alone." I mumbled, slapping my hand in the general direction of where the irritating noise originated. There was nothing there, so I opened my eyes and realised I wasn't 18, and I wasn't at home and my sister wasn't trying to wake me up with one of her annoying goodmorning songs. It took me a few more seconds before I registered that it was in fact my ringtone that had woken me up. I grabbed my phone and pressed the accept-button without checking who it was. Didn't matter, they woke me up during a perfectly good sleep, so they better had a very good reason.

"Ello?" I grumbled into the phone.

"My god, Styles, please tell me you weren't still sleeping, do you know what time it is?"

"Djeez Liam. I don't care what time it is, it's obviously still sleeping time. What's up?" I managed to soften my tone a bit to the end of my sentence, but I just wasn't a morning person. I really wasn't. At all.

He chuckled. "Sorry for waking you up, but I thought you'd be out and about by now, it's almost noon."

"It's fine, did you just want a friendly chat or was there a particular reason to wake me up?"

"I...uh...I just wanted to give you a heads up about our fanclub."

"Fanclub? You're making no sense Li."

"Jude and Kate. They know."

"Know what?" I was only just awake, okay, I can't help it I'm a bit dense when I only just woke up.

"About us, dating."

"Oh. And?"

"Like I said, we have a fanclub."

"Oh. I take it that's a good thing?" I said, sitting up in my bed, causing the covers to slip down to my waist so the cool December air hit my bare skin. Why did I always have to leave the window open? It was freezing in here!

"They are certainly happy about it, but now I'm afraid they'll be even worse with forcing us to be alone together."

I grinned at the empty room in front of me as I tried to pull the covers up further. "I don't think I mind being alone with you."

He chuckled in reply. "Yeah I didn't think you would. But uhm... do you think we should tell Sam?"

"He doesn't know yet?" Liam explained how he wasn't home when Jude forced it out of him, and he still was at the neighbours when Kate had come down, but he probably would come home in an hour or so. We thought about it, but we both knew that Sam liked me, and he would probably feel left out if he found out that his sisters knew for a much longer time than he did.

"So, dinner tonight is okay with you?"

"Yeah it's fine Li, I'll tell Gemma I won't be there tonight, it's not really a problem."

"Okay. We'll be eating at 6.30, everyone needs to go to bed in time because of school and exams starting tomorrow for Jude."

"Shall I make sure I'm there at 5.30 then? Gives us plenty of time to talk to Sam?"

"That'd be perfect Haz. Love you. And thanks."

"Love you too Li. See ya in a few hours then."

I realised I wouldn't be getting any more sleep now, so I got out of bed and got out of my ice cold bedroom as quickly as I could to get in the warmth of the bathroom to take a long hot shower. I thanked myself for being a slob and always being too lazy to put my clothes away after they came out of the dryer and had been ironed, so there was a rather large choice available without having to go back into the cold bedroom. I opted for a light grey jeans, a white long sleeved T-shirt and added a blue costume vest on top when I went back into the bedroom to close the window. The empty cupboards in the kitchen reminded me I urgently needed to do some shopping, so I wrote it down on my calender so I wouldn't forget tomorrow. I managed to find a box of cereal and there was a bit of milk left in the fridge, so that would have to do for breakfast/lunch. There wasn't much left of my afternoon, so I just sat around, checking my schedule for the next week, it was mostly filled with some interviews, meetings and a few rehearsals for the new tour at the end of the week. Not very exciting, but yet it would probably prove to be too busy to meet up with Liam in the evenings. His work was being super busy lately, and he mostly went to bed around ten, while I only came home around nine in the majority of the time. It sucked having to live from weekend to weekend, but there was no better option.
