Give Me Love//H.S

There were lights everywhere, turning this hell hole into a beautiful setting. People were all around, wearing masks similar to mine. It was a masked ball. I didnt think people did this for a dinner party. Dariens hand clenched mine as he walked through the main room in the house.

"Ah mate, shes beautiful." A man spoke.

Underneath the mask his eyes were a light brown. The scruffyness of his beard made him seem soft. He held his hand out for me to shake but I didnt move.

"Shes just shy, and who are you may I ask?" Darien asked.

The man gave him a big smile and held his hand to Darien as he gladly accepted his kind gesture.

"Mark, I'm one of the buyers". He smiled.

Darien seemed confused as he shook his hand and looked at me.

"Be nice, I'll be back." He said and walked off, leaving me there.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked.

"I don't dance." I spoke but he shook his head.

"Kate, please. Just one dance." He whispered.

"How do you know my name?" I panicked.

"Come dance and I'll explain". He said holding his hand out again, and this time I accepted.

He pulled us to the middle of the dance floor, placing his hand on my waist, leading the dance.

"My name is Liam. I work for Harry. I'm here to get you out". He said and my mouth dropped.

"He never mentioned you before, how do I know your telling the truth?" I asked.

His facial features changed as he took a deep breath, looking around. He turned back to me and sighed.

"Fine, the guy behind the food table, that's Cameron. The guys at the door staring at you, that's Adam and my mate Niall". He said turning us so I could see.

"You could just know their names. Thats not convincing." I said.

He shook his head and turned us around once again.

"I've been working with those guys for twelve years. I wouldn't lie". He whispered.

"Well where's Harry"? I asked.

He spun me around, and stopped to where he was now behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"Look up". He said and once my eyes met his, my heart stopped.

He was wearing a black suit, with a red tie. His hair was cut and he had a glass to his lips. A small tear escaped my eyes and Liam started to talk.

"Harry knew you wouldn't go home, he knew you wouldn't bring harm to your family. He came back to the hotel after sitting with me at the diner that was in the lobby. He seen Darien taking you out, and might I say, I've never seen Harry act the way he did". He said.

I turned to look at Liam and then back to Harry and his eyes were still on me. He chugged the rest of his drink and started his way down the steps. I turned to look at Liam. My pulse rising.

"Harry knows what to do. Just listen to him". He said and let me be in the middle of the floor.

"You look beautiful." Harry spoke.

I turned to look at him and I couldnt hold in the tears. I pulled him to me and he chuckled.

"Everything I said, I didnt mean it Kate. I was so stressed about losing you, my words just didnt help the case". He said, swaying us to the music.
