Summer Love (Liam Payne FanFic)

Chapter 38

POV Maddie (1 year later)

During the last year quite a bit has happened. The boys just released their new album 'Take Me Home' and they started their world tour. Liam and I only met a couple of times while they were in London, but the next day they flew out of the country.

While Liam was in Los Vegas pictures were leaked of him making out with another girl. That day I called Liam crying asking if they were true and he told me they were. He kept saying they were a drunken mistake but I couldn't bring myself to forgive him after he has now dome it twice.

After that Liam and I lost contact. I still speak to the rest of the guys and they always tell me about how shit Liam is feeling at the moment and I always pretended that I didn't care but I truly did.

The boys were now finished their Take Me Home world tour and were now back in London. I had agreed to meet the boys in a couple of days and they were coming over to my flat and we were going to have dinner there.

I was now in the middle of my shift at Starbucks. Yes, I still work here. My plan was to finish university and then get a job with my new degree, but I can't find any photographer work at the moment so I'm still stuck working at Starbucks.

A 'ding' sound sounded and it indicated that someone has walked into the shop. I looked up to see a middle aged woman walking towards the counter. "Hello, what would you like?" I ask.

"A large ice coffee" she states.

"That will be £3.40" I say and she hands me the money. "Name?" I ask.

"Jade" she says.

"Okay, your order will be ready soon" I smile and then hand the order to Patrick to make and she just walks away, without even saying thank you. Rude.

Once Patrick is finished making the order he hands it to me to give to Jade. "Jade!" I call and she comes to the counter and snatches the drink from my hand and leaves the shop. "Well she was rude" I say to Patrick.

"Yeah" he agrees.

The familiar 'ding' sound rings once again and a man walks into the shop with a hoodie on and sunglasses so I can't see his face. "Hello sir, what would you like?" I ask.

"A large black coffee" he answers and I immediately recognise his voice. The boy I had cried so many tears over. The boy that showed me what heartbreak was really like. Liam.

"Is that all?" I ask and he nods. "£3.20" I say and he hands me the money. "It will be ready soon" I say.

"Aren't you gonna ask my name?" Liam questions.

"I already know who you are Liam" I reply.

"I'm really sorry" he breaths.

"I know you are" I say.

"Look, I understand you probably don't want anything to do with me anymore but I want you to know I really love you and what happened in Vegas was a massive mistake. I was to drunk to think what I was doing and as soon as I realised they weren't your lips I pushed her off me but it was already too late. I just need you to know that I still love you but I don't want you out of my life forever. Can we please at least be friends?" He asks and sticks his hand out for me to shake it. I still love him so much but I can't forgive him straight away to friends is a good option.

"Friends" I reply and shake his hand. Patrick then hands me Liam's coffee and I give it to him.

"I'm gonna stay here and chat a bit" Liam says and I nod. "So I've got a bit of time off" he says.

"I know" I reply and he gives me a questioning look. "I still do talk to the other boys" I explain.

My shift was now over and as Liam chatted and stayed with me the whole time. A couple of people that walked in recognised him and asked for a photo, which he gladly did. "I'll drive you home?" He suggests.

"Alright, cya Pat" I call out.

"Bye Maddie" he replies and I leave the shop with Liam. We then get into his car and do the short car journey to my flat.

We then say a quick goodbye and Liam drives off down my street.
