IMAGINE

Part 13

Your POV
Next morning. Game day.
I wake up and look around, realizing I wasn't in my house. I sit up and begin to panic, but then I remember. I had spent the night at Liam's after he told me it was getting late and he would prefer for me to stay. I thought it was cute, he had practically begged me to stay when I had told him I wasn't sure. I had asked my mom and she said it was fine, so it was settled. I look down and see I'm still in Liam's black t-shirt and his sister's old white and plaid striped pajama pants. I stand up and walk around the room. It was his sister Nicola's old room. I hear a shower going across the hallway and see there was a brush, toothbrush, and a set of towels on the dresser. I walk over to the items and notice a note on top of the towels. I pick it up and read:

Hey (Y/N),
I'm about to take a shower, but I found some extra things in our storage room that haven't been used, so I figured they'd be useful. I know you would probably want to wear your own clothes, so I got up earlier than usual to get ready and take you back to your house. I will be out of the shower by 7:00 and let you in.
-Liam

I smile at the note and set it down, and glance at the clock, seeing it was just before seven. The water across the hall turns off and I hear a grunt, followed by a 'fuck'. I laugh and open the bedroom door, walking over to the bathroom. I knock on the door and shout over the fan running, "You okay, Li?" "Yeah, this damn shampoo bottle almost hit my foot." I laugh again. "Hey, don't laugh, it could have hurt my foot, which would effect my throwing tonight." "Oh, that's too bad," I coo. "(Y/N), I'll get you soon." "Nahh," I laugh, walking back into the bedroom and see a pair of black sweatpants and a white t-shirt that had our school logo on it, a playoffs shirt from last football season. I grin and check my phone, seeing it was fully charged. I check my texts and see Andi texted me: 'Hey, are you going to the game tonight?' 'Yeah. Did Harry ask you yet?' 'No, and I don't think he will :(' 'Oh, he will, just wait'

I set my phone down and see Liam at the doorway. I squeal and roll my eyes. "You fucking scared me!" He laughs and comes into the room, walking over to me. "Sorry, but now I have to get you back for laughing at me," he smirks. "And how's that?" I stand up and head over to the extra clothes for me. "By doing this," he grabs my arm and pulls me to him, wrapping one arm around me and a hand cups my face. I grin and wrap my arms around his neck, "So... that payback?" He smiles and crashing his lips on mine. Our lips move in sync, and we both smile during the kiss. I pull back and laugh, "That wasn't a payback, it was a treat." "Oh, who cares about an actual punishment," he says, pulling me into another kiss. I laugh again and kiss him back.

I get out of the shower and dry off, then wrap the towel around my chest. I grab the blow dryer and begin to dry my hair. A few minutes later all of the water is removed from my hair and I grab the black brush. I run the brush throw my hair many times and find my hair tie. I quickly braid my hair and tie the end. Getting into the sweatpants and t-shirt, I turn the fan off and open the door. Liam sits on the bed and smiles at me. "Hey," he gets up and walks over to me. "Hi," I say, turning off the light. "Ready for breakfast?" "Sure. What are we having?" He grabs my hand and laces our fingers together, "How about waffles?"

Liam pulls into the driveway of my house and gets out, opening my door and closing it behind me. I smile and walk to the door, taking out my keys and unlocking the door. Liam follows me and closes the door behind us. "I'll finish getting ready, you can make yourself at home," I tell him, receiving a nod and I head upstairs.

Once upstairs, I go into my room and shut the door, then walk to my closet. I look through my clothes and grab a pair of black skinny jeans, and a red and black plaid patterned shirt. I find a black tank top in my dresser and quickly get dressed. I find my black boots and slip on some socks, putting the boots on and lace them up. I look in my room and take a deep breath. Today was the big day, game day. Nothing would ruin it for me, not even Kelsie.

I head downstairs and notice Liam looking at a picture in the living room. "What are you looking at?" I say from behind him. "Oh, nothing," he says, jumping a little from my sudden appearance. "Oh, that's the picture of me with my two older brothers," I say, pointing to the picture frame. "You look cute in it," he smiles at me. "Thanks," I blush. "Ready for school?" "Oh sure," I walk out of the room and put on my jean jacket. Liam follows me and puts on his jacket. He smiles and grabs my hand, leading me out the door. I lock the door and let him lead me to the car.

Once we're both inside the car, he starts the engine and puts the heat on, turning the radio on too. "Yes!" I say excitedly when a song I know starts playing. He laughs, "Do you like this song?" "No, I love it!" He laughs again and backs out of my driveway, lacing our fingers together. I smile at the gesture and look out the window, listening to the song coming from the radio. Liam starts heading the direction of the school, remaining silent. It was a good silence, one where you found peace and enjoyed it. That's when the thoughts officially hit me, I was in Liam Payne's car, and he was holding my hand. He was the one making the first moves, and I was going to his game tonight, wearing his jersey.
