In Your Arms - A Liam Payne Love Story

Chapter 48

Nicole's POV
It has been a few months since the accident. Daniel was tracked down and sent to jail. The boys had started their tour. And me? I was sat in out empty apartment missing Liam. Since the accident, our relationship became stronger.

I got a job at a daycare centre, just to keep my mind busy. I loved kids and they always seemed to help distract me from Liam.

There's no one at home to distract me though. I lie in our bed wrapped up in the sheets but somehow still feeling cold. I miss his arms around me.

Tonight was no different. I was up late re-reading one of my favourite books in an attempt to fall asleep. Eventually i put the book down and turned off the light. I curl up in the sheets, hugging a pillow to my chest. I close my eyes and let my thoughts drift. As usual, they end up on Liam. I hug the pillow closer and squeeze my eyes shut, willing myself to sleep.

When that doesn't work i fidget around in the sheets. I never really felt comfortable without him here. I sigh, sandwiching my self between two pillows, the closest thing to feeling like he is here . And for a second it actually does. My imagination must be getting better.

I surprises me when a voice speaks in my ear from behind me
"Hey beautiful. Did you miss me?"
Now i couldn't have imagined that.
I turn my head slightly and instead of the pillow i see Liam. A warmth fills my chest as i turn around in his arms and warm mine around his neck, pulling him closer to me.
"Of course i missed you, you idiot" i whisper "so much"
He chuckles "i missed you too"
I pull back and look into his eyes in the dim light. I cup his face in my hands and lean down to kiss him. He immediately responds, tightening his arms around my waist.
I know it's only been two months since he left but i was so used to seeing him everyday that when he left i didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't know how much i would miss him. Miss his arms around me. Miss his lips on mine.

We stayed kissing in bed for quite some time. It's like we were making up for lost time. Soon enough, he pulled away. I let out a small whimper, though both of us were breathing heavily.
"I missed you so fucking much Nicole. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Don't ever forget that" he says as i snuggle into his side, his arm reflexively wrapping around me.
"I love you too Liam. You don't know how empty this place gets without you" i sigh before i ask the unavoidable question "so how long are you here for?"
He sighs "three days" he starts rubbing soothing circles on my back
"Oh -okay" i stutter, trying to stop my voice from cracking, he notices anyway
He tilts my chin up so i have to look at him "i know. It sucks"
"Yeah. It sucks bad."
"I'm sorry" he says
"It's ok. At least i get to see you"
He brushes his hand up against my cheek "Let's try and get some sleep huh?"
I close my eyes and settle into his arms "mmm goodnight Liam"
I feel the soft touch of his lips on my forehead "goodnight Nicole"
