Hero {A Liam Payne Fanfiction}

Chapter 16

Liam's POV:

-

I wake up and roll over. Claire is still asleep, her hair all over her face, her arms sprawled across the bed. Her mouth is open and I can hear her snoring quietly. I reach over and push her hair out of her face. She reaches a hand up and touches my cheek.

"Liam?" she murmers, still asleep

"Yeah?" I smile, putting my hand over mine

"I want to come with you."

"Okay."

"But not now."

"I know. You said you can't."

"Don't let me leave, Liam. I don't want to be apart."

"Neither do I."

"I want to stay with you forever. Yeah, forever."

She rolls over and falls back into a deep sleep. I lay back down and stare at her, smiling. I don't care if she's just sleep talking or not, but I like what she said. I wish I had the guts to say the same to her...

Claire's POV:

-

I wake up to a blow dryer. I look into the bathroom and see Liam in his boxers, drying his hair. I smile and get out of bed, walking into the bathroom.

"Boo." I smile from the doorway

Liam doesn't hear me. I go behind him and quickly cover his eyes.

"Boo!" I shout

Liam turns around and blows me with the blow dryer. I put my hands in front of my face and laugh, harder than I've laughed in a while. Liam turns off the blow dryer and puts it on the sink. He hugs me.

"Do you remember anything you said this morning?" he asks

"Huh?" I ask

"You said you don't want me to let you go, and that you want to be with me forever. Also that you wanted to come with me."

"Oh, well I don't remember, but all those things are true." I blush, looking into Liam's deep eyes

He smiles, widely, pushing my hair behind my ear.

"I love you." I whisper

"I love you too." he says back

I walk out of the bathroom and start applying my make up and get dressed. Liam won't be done for a while. When he's finally groomed and ready, we head down for breakfast. 5SOS and the rest of the boys are sitting around the table.

"Where's management?" Liam asks

"They ate already. Trusted us alone for a bit." Louis smirks

"Morning to you too, Lover Boy." Michael teases

"Good morning." Liam and I say in unison

We eat breakfast talking with the rest of the boys.

"Claire, after lunch we're going to an indoor ice rink. Do you want to come?" Zayn offers
