Yours Sincerely (Larry Stylinson)

Up All Night - chapter 9

Rylee's POV

"Ry, you seriously need to calm down" Emmerson chuckles at me.

"I CAN'T!" I squeal "Liam Payne gave me his number!!!"

"Yeah, I know. So can you go call him instead of bothering me about it?" She says, rolling her eyes and laughing.

"Ugh fine," I say sarcastically, grinning as I run upstairs to my room.

As soon as I sit down on my bed, I grab out my phone and dial the number from the piece of paper that Liam gave me.

Liam picks up the phone immediately. "Rylee?" He says hopefully.

"Yeah, how are you?" I giggle.

"OOOH IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND PAYNO?" I hear Louis yell with Niall cackling in the background.

"Shut up would ya?" Liam says as hear him slam the door shut. "Sorry Rylee, ignore Lou, y'know what he's like, mouthing off" He says sounding sheepish, I laugh at his demeanor.

"Hey, Li. I know, missed ya" I beam into the phone.

"I missed you too," he says sweetly "I've been wanting to call you all night but the rest of the guys won't give me a break" he scoffs.

"You wanted to call me, why didn't you earlier?" I ask curiously, even though I think I already know the answer.

"The lads were having a go cause they figured out I liked you." Liam says without hesitation, not even thinking.

"Wait, what!?" I respond, shocked, trying really hard not to squeal out of excitement.

"Wait no, I meant... I didn't mean it like that... they just think we're dating, but we're not! Well, I-" he blurts out before I cut him off.

"Don't freak out Li, I like you too." I interrupt, with a smile so big my cheeks were starting to hurt.

"Really? I had no idea. I really wanted to be able to call you my friend but I didnt want to push a friendship or anything." He nearly squeals, though his energy drops towards the end, just as my stomach does. Friends. Liam likes me as a friend, not anything else.

"Friend?" I say, scared for his response. What if Liam isn't even interested at all.

"Well I mean yeah, unless we aren't there yet." He mumbles. I really want him to like me

"Of course we are 'there'. Wasn't that really obvious? I was kinda hoping for something more."I respond honestly. "I just didn't think you liked me that way" I then mumble sadly.

"Wait. You're kidding, right? I do like you like that. Well I don't want to rush or anything but, I mean, who couldn't like you that way Ry. You are perfect." He reassures me with a gentle tone in his voice.

Liam is way too sweet. I just want to run up to him and give him the biggest hug. "I wish you were here with me. That way we could talk for hours, I'm learning a lot" I smile, teasing slightly.

"Me too, but I'll be seeing you first thing tomorrow morning." He responds, reminding me of the beach tomorrow.

Liam and I kept talking for what seemed like forever. We learned everything about each other that night, and even after there was nothing left to share, we still talked about every little thing we could think of, just to hear each other's voices, and it was the happiest I've ever felt.

After many hours passed, I check my phone and realise the time. It was 2:43 in the morning which meant that Liam and I had been talking over the phone for nearly 5 hours.

"Oh my god Li, it's so late! You're probably really tired, I'm so sorry for keeping you up." I suddenly say.

"Oh yeah," He says disappointedly, checking the time. "We should probably go to sleep so we're ready for the beach tomorrow. But for the record Ry, I could never get tired from talking to you." I hear him smile.

"Same here," I let out a small laugh, as I beam into the phone. "I could talk to you all night" I respond, biting my lower lip to try and contain myself.

"Okay, well, you should get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow, and don't forget that I'm picking you up at 9:30. Conversation to be continued?"

"To be continued. I can't wait, and I'll text you my address in the morning."

"Goodnight Rylee, I miss you already." He says in the sweetest voice.

"No need to be cheesy. Night Li," I gently smile. "And thanks for everything." I say, biting my lip again as we end the call.

I can safely say, that I went to sleep that night, the happiest that I will ever be.

Hii its W! Ok so I know we have been kinda slack lately but idk about R but I have had huge writers block, i felt like i was just running into a wall over and over ;) As well as the 10 year anniversary of the boys being a band was last week and that was all a bit hectic. We wrote this chapter a while ago but never felt like it was complete. I am posting it now but once we get back on our feet after a couple of chapters it will probably get slightly edited. LOOK OUT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER it's beach day and we are going to have some first class Larry content as well as more Em and Z!
