Just A Heartbeat Away [One Direction Fanfiction]

Ch. 9

LIAM'S P.O.V

"Good job Niall!" Lou says, pinching Niall's cheeks.

He smirks a bit.

"Don't break her heart." Harry says.

"I won't." he replies, firm.

My phone beeped.

Cielo.

"Hey Liam! Can you come over and help in setting up the slumber party? :) x"

"Sure, babe. Coming over in 15. x"

Send.

Ever since I laid eyes on her, my whole life changed.

The boys won't let me get another girlfriend.

After a recent heartbreak.

I grabbed my jacket and called Paul to drive me to Cielo's.

CIELO'S P.O.V

"Ana, place the chips on the red table, will you?" I asked her.

She did as told.

Tonight, the boys and I will have a slumber party.

It'll be so much fun!

Especially because Liam's here.

I've been a fan since they'd been on X-Factor. 

"Cielo, where do you want me to put the sodas?" Martina asked.

"Just over there." I say, pointing on the empty space beside the chips.

Knock Knock. Went the door.

I forgot to lock the door, so a man just came in.

"Liam!" I say warmly.

We broke into a bear hug.

"Hey, sky." he says.

"We're almost done setting up, so.. You can help move the couch." I say.

"Sure. After all, I am strong." he says, showing off his muscles.

"Dream on, Payne." I tease him.

Sofia came bursting in.

"Hi Liam!" She says with a smile, and walks away.

Liam starts to move the couch, and I help him as well.

A few of his brags about his strength was worth talking about.

I knew he was strong.

And I couldn't deny it.

8:30 pm.

"Ahh!" all the girls screamed.

I watched as Gaby wacked Kayla with a pillow.

Sofia fell on the floor, and I sat with her.

"Having fun?" I asked her.

"Mhm. So, how's you and Liam?" she asked.

She knew I loved him.

So there's no escaping from her.

"He still hasn't asked me." I said, dissapointed.

"Don't worry." she says.

"How about you and Haz?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Hasn't asked me yet too.."
