In Your Arms - A Liam Payne Love Story

Chapter 42

Nicole’s POV

“come on babe, we have to go” I hear Liam call down the hallway. We are going on a double date with Harry and Kat tonight and we are meeting them at their apartment.

I check my hair and outfit one more time, grab my purse and head into the living room where Liam is watching TV.

“ok I’m ready” I say

Liam turns the TV off and stands up brushing off his pants. Might I say that he is looking quite fit this evening. He’s wearing skinny jeans and a plain black shirt. The shirt isn’t super tight, but it’s tight enough to show off his arm muscles

“alright, well then let’s - ” he says turning around but stops mid-sentence when he sees me.

I widen my eyes “what?” is there something on my dress?” I say worriedly looking down at my dress to make sure everything is fine

“no there’s nothing wrong with it. You look gorgeous” he smiles, stepping closer to me

“aw thank you” I say blushing a little

I give him a hug “oh and by the way….. you look so… sexy” I whisper into his ear

He raises his eyebrow at me “oh really?” he says wrapping his arms around me pulling me closer

“mmhmmmm” I mumble

He leans down going to kiss. Just as our lips are about to touch I pull away

“come on, we’re going to be late” I smile cheekily

He groans in frustration. I pull his hand towards the door, locking it behind us. We head up to Kat’s apartment and knock on the door. While we are waiting Liam wraps his arms around me from behind me and leans his head on my shoulder

“why do you have to be such a tease Nicole” he mumbles into my ear

I smile and turn my head to the side “because I love you” I say kissing him on the cheek

He was about to say something when the door opened. Harry and Kat were standing at the door ready to go

“hey guys” Kat smiles

“hey, you ready to go?” I ask

“yep” they both smile

We head down to the waiting car. We all get in the back. It was one where the seats face the middles. We sat opposite each other.

“so where are we going?” Katrina asks

“what part of surprise don’t you understand?” Harry smiles, Kat huffs in frustration

“hey Liam” I say dancing my finger up and down his arm “you can tell me” I say looking up at him through my eyelashes

He kisses my temple “not a chance” he smirks

I cross my arms across my chest “why must boys insist to keep dates a secret?” I grumble

“tell me about it. It’s not like It will make it anymore special” Katrina says

Both Liam and Harry chuckle.

Once we get there, I discover that they had brought us to fancy restaurant. Dinner was fun, we got to catch up with Harry and Katrina. We really haven’t seen much of each other because of Liam’s injury. On the way home, I knew Liam wanted to kiss me, but I didn’t let him. It was fun watching him squirm a little.

Once we said goodnight to Kat and Harry, we got into the apartment. I went into the bedroom, Liam following me being oddly quietly. I kick off my shoes, letting my feet relax.

Liam grabs my wrist and spins me around pulling me into his arms. He crashes his lips onto mine and sighs in relief. I kiss him back, grabbing fistfuls of his shirt. His arms wrap around my waist as I back him up into the bed. His legs hit the mattress and he falls onto it, pulling me with him, not breaking the kiss. I trail my tongue along his bottom lip, nibbling it a little. He opens his mouth granting me access. We explore each other’s mouth as we passionately start to snog. His hands grip my waist tightly, our legs entwined as we lay top of the sheets. Liam lets out a soft moan into my mouth. It was the sexiest thing I have ever heard. His hand travels up to the back of my dress, he tugs the zipper down my back and flips us over. I pull away breathless, we had never gone this far before. I forget everything when Liam starts sucking on my neck. I am filled with this tingly feeling, I close my eyes and let it consume me. A small moan leaves my lips. He slips my dress off my shoulders. I am suddenly brought back to reality.

“Liam” I mumble “babe”

“Liam stop” I say caressing his cheek

He looks up at me, his brown eyes meeting mine. I bring him down for one more kiss.

“not yet” I sigh

He face drops but he gives me a weak smile and kisses me on the cheek “ok” he mumbles and rolls over so that he is next to me. I bring my dress up so it is sitting on my shoulders again.

I feel terrible, I feel like I hurt him bad. He looked so upset, I could sense it in his voice. I turn and face him, he is looking up at the ceiling. I place my hand on his cheek, he turns to face me.

“I – I’m sorry Li” I sigh

His arm snakes around my waist “don’t be sorry”

I shake my head “but you want to and I don’t. I feel terrible. I really wish I could, and someday we will. I promise. I just - ”

“shh, it’s ok. You can have all the time in the world. What matters is that we both want this” Liam says pulling me into his chest

“but the funny thing is, for a second I got lost in the moment. Liam I know you are the one” I say

“well I am honoured” he smiles

I kiss him on the cheek “thanks for understanding” I smile

“it’s what I do”

“well I’m going to change” I say getting up off the bed and grab my pyjamas and head towards the bathroom

“you know you can change in here” Liam says from the bed

“you wish” I call over my should.
