Follow The Sun {Liam Hemsworth}

Sneaking Around

    He shuts the door to his dressing room behind us. "Five minutes, Liam." I repeat. He sighs softly. "I really like you. Okay? I've liked you since the first time I saw your smile. Just the thought of not being able to be near you to see it, or not being able to talk to you and hear your laugh drives me insane. I just..." He approaches me and grabs my waist, pulling me toward him. "I can't lose this. Whatever this is." he whispers. I lift my hand and slide it down the crook of his neck.

I nod and start walking away from him.

"What if no one knew?" he offers. "What if no one knew about us?"

    I stop and shake my head, almost laughing at the insanity of that thought. As romantic as that sounds, always sneaking around and lying to everyone does not sound very fun. "Is that really how you want to live?" I ask him. "Always sneaking around, lying, not being able to go out in public? Liam, if that's you, that's good to know but I—"

    His lips are on mine before I can finish, sending waves of electricity throughout my body. He's so much taller than me that even when I'm on my tip toes, he has to lean down. Just like that night on my porch, his hands grip firmly at my waist so that I can keep my balance. That thought catapults me back to reality and I know immediately that I shouldn't have let him take me in here. I shouldn't have let him have even five minutes. This was a mistake.

    "Stop." I break away breathlessly and put my hands on his chest to push him away from me. I step back so that his hands fall from around my waist. "Stop." I repeat. "I-I can't do this, Liam. This was a mistake, all of it." I start to walk away from him again but he catches my wrist and pulls me back, spinning me around towards him in the process.

"Vivianne, you know you don't mean that." he says, looking down at me with those amazing blue eyes.

"You're right Liam, I don't." I concede. "But that doesn't change anything. We can't be together, it's as simple as that."

"So I'll quit." he says without thought. "Gary could find someone better, easy."

    I don't know why I get so angry when he says things like that. It's like he doesn't realize how talented of an actor he is. "You will not quit for me Liam Hemsworth." I say, face feeling hot from anger. I run my hands through my naturally wavy brown hair out of stress. "Are you insane?" I ask. He shakes his head. "No, but I will be if I couldn't kiss you again for another three months." He grins at me. I laugh and roll my eyes.

"You are honestly the cheesiest person I've ever met."

"Are you sure?" He raises his eyebrows. "I've heard Chuck-E-Cheese is pretty cheesy."

I roll my eyes again and slap his arm playfully, laughing. "You're an idiot."

    Liam raises his eyebrows at me as if he expects me to apologize. When I don't, he reaches out and begins to tickle me. He tickles me until I fall to the ground laughing and lay there. He wiggles his fingers at me and sits down too. "Remember. I know one of your weaknesses." he teases. I laugh and sit up, looking at him.

"Alright. To be fair though, I need to know one of yours." I say.

"Hmm, one of mine?"

    I nod, even though I know he knows the answer already. He thinks for a minute and then looks at me with those blue eyes. "One of my biggest weaknesses would have to be your smile." he says softly. I roll my eyes again but I can't lie about the fact that I did smile when he said that.  Usually I wouldn't budge if a guy were to hit on me using a cheesy line like that, but Liam already had me and he knew it; that's why it was so adorable.

    When he sees my smile he clutches his chest dramatically and lays down on the floor, groaning. "Ugh. Someone help me. I think my heart just stopped." he says. I burst out laughing, despite the cheese overload going on. "Cheesy." I drag out the word as I stand up. He stands up too and looks into my eyes, smiling. Those eyes get me every time.

    He kisses me again, this time slower and more gentle. I relax into his arms, feeling tingles cover my entire body as our lips move in perfect sync. As my fingers begin to tangle with his hair, and I think that I would go crazy too if I couldn't kiss him like this every day. After a moment, he breaks away, but his lips still linger on mine. I close my eyes and rest my forehead on his chest, thinking about our options. If we stay together in secret then we both risk our careers, but if we stay apart, we risk our happiness. I take a deep breath.

"Liam?" My voice is muffled by his chest.

"Hmm?"

"Let's do it."
