1D 1-Shots! (Closed)

Little Things (Amber + Liam)

 The waves rolled in, leaving stains on the golden sand. The smell of salt and suntan lotion filled the air. 

I looked over at my long-time boyfriend with uncertainty, "Are you sure about this? I can always sit back and watch." He laughed, continuing to wax the surfboard he was holding, "That's no fun for you, Amber! I promise, I'll keep you safe. You'll do fine." His brown eyes sparkled with excitement. 

I, though still overcome with worry, went on with it anyways and headed towards the waves. "No screaming girls yet." I joked.

You probably don't get it… I'm dating Liam Payne. Yes, of One Direction. We met two years ago, and have dated ever since. I can't even begin to explain how hard it is having him away for so long, so I take the chance to be together every day he has off, like this one.  

"That sure would make today memorable!" Liam joked back.

Liam's POV

The waves were perfect for surfing and I was ready to get out there. I'd always loved surfing, ever since my first trip to Australia, and with a day off, it seemed like the perfect date for me and Amber. 

I could sense the unease radiating off of her, though. I watched her take off her glasses. "I told you, it will be fine, Am. You'll do great." I comforted. We reached the tumbling waves and I continued, "Alright love, time to face the music. We won't paddle out too far on the first try."

Amber's POV

Liam began to swim out and I followed like a lost puppy. Once we reached a good enough distance, he showed me how to balance my weight on the surfboard. The water chilled me to the bone and finally a large amount of water came rushing towards us. "Let's go!" Liam yelled with excitement.

I copied exactly what Liam had shown me, and then the wave was under me. Everything went by in a flash, but I do remember feeling like I was on top of the world… that is until salt water covered me from head to toe. 

I came up on the shore, clearing my eyes. I couldn't hold it in any longer and I began to laugh. Liam looked relieved, happy that I had enjoyed it. "Shall we go again?" He asked, smiling giddily. 

I would have gotten the chance to reply if not for the loud, high-pitched scream.

Wonderful.

Note the sarcasm.

Liam's POV

A girl with bleached-blonde hair and an obviously fake tan jogged up to us. "OH… MY… BANANAS…LIAM…PAYNE!" she said in between breaths, letting out another scream at the end.

Slowly, her gaze turned over to Amber. "Oh, well well well. Look what the cat dragged in." She turned back to me and started again before I could stand up for my girlfriend. "Why would you want someone like her, when you can have someone like me? I'm hot, and she's T-R-A-S-H."

I opened my mouth to respond, but was cut off, again. The fake blonde had fallen onto the ground, clutching her cheek. Amber was fuming, hand up as if she had slapped someone.

Not as if she had slapped someone, she had. 

Anger came over me and I looked to the blonde, "Leave my girlfriend alone."

Amber's POV

After the whole incident with the blonde, I had run off, back to the beach house Liam and the boys had rented.  I ran into the room I was staying in, locking the door securely behind me.  The tears fell almost instantly. 

I wasn't angry at myself for slapping her, she deserved it, but I kept repeating what she had said. Why would Liam want someone like me? He could find someone so much better. A knock on the door broke my focus. "Amber? Please let me in. I'm so sorry about that. Please, please let me in." 

I didn't feel like moving. I didn't feel like breathing.

"Amber…" Liam spoke again. "She's right, you can do better!" I yelled. 

It was silent for a moment before Liam began rambling, "Listen, Amber, I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,  you've never loved your stomach or your thighs, or the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine, but I'll love them endlessly. I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth, but if i do, it's you, oh it's you Amber, they add up to. I'm in love with you and all your little things."

Liam's POV

I waited for Amber's reply. That could have possibly been the most heartfelt thing I'd ever said. And I meant every word. 

The door opened and I pulled Amber into a hug, her body shaking with sobs. "Hey, hey," I cooed. "I love you, and only you. Always."
