My Constant (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 18

-Belle's POV-

Before Liam arrives I decide to take a quick shower so I grab a towel and a washing cloth and go to the bathroom. I don't wash my hair since I washed it yesterday so when I'm finished I get out of the shower and dry myself with the towel. As I wrap the towel around my body I turn the knob and go to my room which is right across the bathroom. I pull out some grey sweats and a plain black t-shirt and free my hair from the hair tie so my hair falls in waves over my shoulders.

It’s still a little bit weird to see my hair shorter than it was before since I cut it when I was in Vienna and it now reaches to just above my breast. The natural waves look quite good actually so I change my mind about straighten it. I look at the clock and I still have 15 minutes, enough time to put my books on my desk and go through the stuff I have to learn with Liam.

I still don't know why he keeps lying to me and playing dumb but I hope I'll find out soon.

-Liam's POV-

I make my way to the front door of the sorority and when I arrive I ring the doorbell and as I hear footsteps approaching the door opens. It's that girl that tutored me just before Belle, Sierra was her name I think. When she opened the door she smiled but once she saw that it was me that smile turned into an annoyed gaze and now she waits for me to speak but I don't. I'll just wait until she lets me through the door that she is blocking now.

"And how can I help you?" she raised an eyebrow and I don't want to imagine what it would've been like with her as my tutor. I probably would have changed tutors after 5 minutes.

"I'm here to see Belle so can you move out of my way?" I answer her just as annoyed as she was when she asked. If she is not even trying to be nice why should I?

"Hey who's there?" another girl approaches the door. She has blonde, short hair and has blue eyes. Maria opens her mouth to say something but is cut of by that girl who is stretching her arm out to introduce herself.

"Hi I'm Ashley nice to meet you." I shake her hand and tell her my name in respond and she turns to Maria.

"Sarah why don't you let him in?" I need a second before I realize that she is talking to the girl I thought the name was Sierra. I look over to Sarah again as she sighs annoyed and lets me in.

I walk past them and make my way upstairs to go to Belle's room. Just when I am about to knock on the door it opens and Belle rushes out of the room bumping into me.

"Woah easy there. Where are you going?" I laugh as she takes a step back.

"I was just about to open the door but I got caught up. Who let you in?"

"That friend of yours, Sarah." I explain and Belle's face falls a little bit and she plays with the ends of her hair, which I noticed she only does when she's nervous. She motions me in and I can't help but ask.

"Is something wrong?"

"Huh? No, no everything's fine." she smiles a fake smile and I decide not to bother her anymore and drop the topic. As I sit down on the chair with her next to me I notice that she has only wears one sock on her foot the other one bare.

“I uh you do know that you only wear one sock?” I laugh as I say this and she just blushes and looks down to her feet.

“I was about to put them on when you were ringing the doorbell. I didn’t want you to wait so hurried up and left the other foot. So theoretically this is your fault.” I don’t respond to her as she puts on the other sock and after that opens the books. She starts to speak about maths and I find myself staring at her instead of the things she shows me. She has comfy clothes on and I am glad because all the other girls that tutored me would dress up like they're going on a date and I always found it ridiculous. Like girl you are trying way to hard But anyways even with that clothes she has on she looks really hot. She looks up to me a few times and I just nod as if I am listening. A couple minutes already passed and the whole time I felt that tension between us. A quite odd one to me but I like it and I want it to increase, so out of nowhere I draw a line on her book with my pen. She looks a little bit puzzled but then smiles a little bit copying my action and drawing one in my textbook and sends me a challenging smile waiting for my reaction. Smiling back I repeat what I did and her mouth falls open looking at the second line which is twice as big as the first one.

"Okay this means war." she says and her arms raises to draw another line in my textbook but I stop her by grabbing her wrist. She battles with my strong but gentle hold but then I take my pen and move it towards her face with my other hand. When she sees it her eyes widen and she squeals pushing my hand with her other hand back. I could easily draw lines all over her face since I am a lot stronger than her but I like her fighting me. Eventually she starts laughing and telling me to stop but I don't waste one second thinking about that. All of a sudden she grows a lot stronger and I, unprepared push her back. My action causes us both to fall from the chairs onto the floor. A small scream escapes her mouth and she puts one hand over her eyes laughing. I join her and our both laughs echo through the room.

Without thinking about it I start tickling her and then I realize my intension. I want to hear her laugh, I want to hear it echoing through my head over and over again. She starts laughing harder and tries to remove my hands from her.

"STOP!! Please!!" she yells inbetween her laughs but I don't. She turns on all sides that are possible but she can't make me stop. But when she kicks with her foot against my knee I jump a little bit because it actually hurts. She uses my pause and grabs a hold of my wrists pinning me down on my back and straddling my stomach. I smirk at my sight of her out of breath and red from all the laughing.

"Will you stop?"

"Maybe."

"If you don't stop I'll-" in that moment I flip us over so I am hovering her, my legs on either side of her but I lean down to her much further that she did when she was on top of me.

"You'll what?" I whisper to her my face only inches from her. She doesn't say anything she just looks into my eyes and I do the same. Although I know she's watching me I can't help but move from her eyes down to her lips that are parted from her hard breathing from me tickling her. When I look back into her eyes again hers are now on my lips and as much as I don't want to I lean further down to kiss her. Just as our lips are about to touch there is a knock on the door interrupting us. I sigh and stand up as Belle does the same. I catch her blushing uncomfortably and avoiding my look. As she goes to open the door I watch her bum move from to side to side and I find myself thinking of how much I want my hand to move down there. I am pulled from my thoughts when I hear the door open.

-Ashley's POV-

I stand up to see who's at the door. When I see Liam I feel a little annoyed since I know that he dates Belle because of the bet. I found out about the bet accidently when I walked past her room and couldn't help but eavesdrop to their conversation. If she wins the bet she'll get 70 bucks. Anyways I smile up to him and stretch my arm out and introduce myself.

"Sarah why don't you let him in?" I ask her because she was the one who opened the door. She shoots me a glare, sighs and then lets him in.

He goes upstairs immediately and I walk back into the kitchen. I don't know what it is but I feel the urge to go upstairs and try to listen to what they're doing. Are they studying, are they talking about personal stuff, are they making out? God knows and after a couple of minutes of thinking if I should go or shouldn't I can't resist and go upstairs to the door of her room. I hear loud laughing, mostly Belle's. They are not studying for sure, so I cross that of my list of what they could be doing.

I want to interrupt them so badly but how? The assignments! I took her assignments with me because she wasn't in class, that's a good excuse. I walk to my room quickly and grab them. When I come back her laugh is even harder but then stops abruptly. I watched too many movies to know that they are probably about to kiss. My stomach turns at that thought and I don't hesitate and knock. I wait a few seconds before she opens the door for me.

"Ashley? What's up?" she asks, her face red like a tomato from blushing. As much as I want to be the reason for her red cheeks I know I am not. I see Liam leaning against the desk and looking on the floor, arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I uh I have your assignments. Are you okay you weren't at class?"

"Oh thank you and yes I am okay I just overslept that's all." she smiles and I smile back at her. We stay there for a few seconds before she starts speaking again breaking the awkward silence.

"So thank you again I really appreciate it."

"It's nothing really."

"So bye I guess." She laughs nervously.

"Bye." I say and walk away when she closes the door behind me.
