One Direction Imagines

Liam Imagine for Kerry (@Headphone_Princess)

You're studying in England for a year just to switch things up a bit and experience living in a different place. It's your first week at Uni and you haven't made many friends because you've been a little shy about starting up a conversation. It's the weekend, and while most students are out partying, you're spending a few days in London, sightseeing. You have your headphones on due to your obsession of listening to music 24/7, and since you seem a bit lost, you're looking down at a map while you walk, which is probably not the best idea. Before you know it, your body has bumped right into someone else's, causing you to drop your map and bag in surprise.

"I'm so sorry!" you hear a familiar accent say.

"It's alright, I should've been watching where I was going," you apologize, leaning down to pick up your bag. The person you ran into picks up your map for you hurriedly and the two of you stand up in unison. When you look at his face, you're in shock.

"L-L..." you drift off.

He pulls off to the side and covers your mouth with his hand. "Please, I'll pay you if you don't scream my name."

You laugh and pry his hand off of your face. "I wasn't going to scream your name. I'm just surprised, that's all."

"Surprised? Why?" he asks.

"WHY?" you repeat. "Because I'm having a conversation with Liam Payne, that's why!"

"Well, you are in England, which is where I'm from," he chuckles.

"Well I have to be honest, on a regular basis I'm usually more on the lookout for Niall than the rest of your band because I live in Ireland," you explain.

"I can tell by your accent," he smiles.

You blush a bit. "Yeah, I kind of stick out like a sore thumb here, yeah?"

"No, of course not," he reassures you. "At least, you don't stick out like the American tourists do...always confusing crisps with chips and driving on the wrong side of the road," he rolls his eyes and both of you laugh. "Here's your map, by the way," he grins while holding it out to you.

"Thanks," you smile.

"So, since you obviously know my name, what's yours?" Liam asks curiously.

"Kerry," you smile.

"Beautiful name," he comments and you blush. "Do you need help getting somewhere?" he questions.

"I guess I could use some assistance," you accept his offer.

"Great! Just one question.."

"What?" you inquire.

He smiles cheekily. "Do I hear Up All Night coming through your headphones?"

Your cheeks blaze as you realize you've been listening to One Direction the past few minutes. "Erm, no..." you say quickly before changing the song even though it's obvious he knows. Nevertheless, you click shuffle, hoping for the best (a.k.a., no more 1D songs). Thankfully, it's Princess of China, so you show Liam your screen with an innocent smile.

"See? It's just Coldplay and Rihanna."

"I love that song!" he exclaims, ignoring your embarrassment to your relief.

"So do I!" you grin.

"I think we're going to get on very well," Liam smiles sweetly.

You blush. "I think so too."

"Oh goodness," he says, suddenly pulled back to reality, hitting his palm against his forehead. "I forgot I have a photoshoot with the boys at 4. And it's..." he glances at his watch. "3:50," he sighs. "I'm so sorry, I really wanted to help you around the city."

"It's alright, maybe you can some other time," you smile understandingly.

"Okay, here's my number love. Text me anytime, and we'll organize something," he tells you quickly while scribbling down his number on your hand.

"Thanks," you respond in shock. You have Liam Payne's number.

"Hey..." he begins. "Are you doing anything right now?"

"Besides getting lost? Nope!" you reply and he laughs.

"Well, would you like to come to a One Direction photoshoot with me?" Liam offers.

"You bet I would!" you respond excitedly.

"Alright then. Follow me!" he grabs your hand and you smile, jogging along with him until you reach a large building. When you get inside, you see the other boys sitting on a bench all on their phones, and your heart skips a beat in excitement.

"Hey boys," Liam says to get their attention.

"Finally! When did you plan on coming?" Harry asks as he looks up, stopping when he notices you there. "Hey," he grins at you.

The butterflies in your stomach flutter. "Hi," you say slowly, holding out your hand. "I'm Kerry."

"Nice to meet you," he smiles and shakes your hand. When you glance over at Liam, you see he's glaring a bit at the curly-haired flirt, and you giggle.

At this point, Lou, Zayn, and Niall have all gotten up to come over and say hello also.

"So, Kerry...not to sound rude, but why are you here?" Zayn smiles apologetically.

"No offense taken," you chuckle before explaining. "I was just getting myself lost in London, since I'm not from here, when Liam came and helped me like the gentleman he is," you and Liam smile at each other and you hear Louis 'pfft' at the two of you. "Anyway," you continue. "He was going to help me around but he had to come here, and I was invited to tag along. I hope it's not a problem..."

"Not at all!" Zayn assures you.

"Yeah, I'm sure Paul won't mind at all!" Niall adds.

"Okay. I'll just be sure to stay out of the way," you promise.

For the next hour or so, you watch the boys mess around and have fun, and you even get in a few candid pictures yourself.

When the photoshoot's over, Liam walks up to you with a smile on his face. "It's almost dinnertime, would you like to go somewhere, Kerry?" he offers.

"I'd love to," you smile. The two of you head off to a nice restaurant, and afterwards, Liam spends the rest of the night scrambling around with you, showing you the whole, beautiful city of London.
