To Infinity and Beyond

A Game of Cat & Mouse

Liam's P.O.V.

I woke up the next day in an uncomfortable hotel bed. I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my stomach as Louis's foot hid my ribs. The stab lasted for a few more long seconds before drifting away. I lifted my night shirt up to reveal a sore spot. That boy was born to be a footballer ! I poked it carefully but I was filled with agony. He would pay later. I lifted out of the covers and slipped past Zayn's bed. He was facing down onto his pillows. Today was one of the few we were allowed to sleep in. I peeked at the clock above the beds, it read 11:36. I went straight to the bathroom right out of our room. I knocked before entering the cold, empty room. I quietly shut the door and looked in the mirror. I threw my hands in my messy quiff. I've had the same hair since 2012, but it still felt fresh.

I picked up my tooth brush, combs, shaving gel, and razor. My mum was big on hygiene growing up, so I kind of inherited it. Lucky me. I pulled up my shirt revealing my bruised torso from Lou. That bastard hit me good. I pushed the rest down with ease. I bent to the ground and threw my clothes in a corner. Before I hit the water of my hot shower I saw that my phone was left in here. I quickly hopped out of the shower and unlocked it. I had a few texts from my family asking how I was, I really missed them.

I quickly came across a number I that I don't know. I looked at the message history, it was Annie. I thought about her for a bit last night. She was the only excitement that I had. The break up tore me down, it was Louis who dragged me to the cinema. It was a good movie though ! I pulled her number up and texted her. I racked my brain think of good words. Then it hit me.

To: Annie (:

Hey love ! It's Liam ! The creep from the cinema. I just wanted to text you to ask about Serenah. You know if she liked the film. Xx

I face palmed myself as I re read it. I was desperate though. As much as I love these boys I needed air. Maybe I could take her and her sister out. I unknowingly hit send before I realized what I had done. She was never going to respond to a weirdo.

I hopped in the shower hopping for the best.

Annie's P.O.V

It was summer ! And I was pumped. I was going to do great things this summer. I wasn't going to be boring old Annie who sat in her room drawing all day and night. I already met Liam Payne and I wasn't going to stop there. I wasn't ready to be held down for a summer romance. I was going to enjoy my last summer as a kid. It was just before noon as a got a text from Liam. I always thought that there was like some three day waiting period, I suppose not.

Hey love! It's Liam ! The creep from the cinema. I just wanted to text you to ask about Serenah. You know if she like the film. Xx

Well, he was a bit forward for a boy that I just met yesterday ! He asked about Ser though, not me. That quickly bursted my bubble. I frowned while trying to decode the message. I just woke up and was still in my bed when I got this cryptic message. Was he really asking about Ser or hinting at me? I never had a boyfriend before so I was new to this. Sure I had a fling or two but the boys didn't many me emotionally, they wanted me physically. But I retained my virginity with a tight guard. It was too important to let slip out.

I went from thinking about Liam to my virginity. Not strange at all. I unlocked my phone and responded.

To:Liam<3

She's quite fond of it actually ! But she was worried about something being on my butt, on account of you peeking. Was there something there? (;

I quietly battled with myself weather or not to send it or not. It was too sexy for me, but it would be hilarious to hear his defence so I continued out with it. Sent !
