Hello guys I am sooo extremely sorry for this extremely late update!!! I might have to switch to updating every Sunday because i have some things going on in my life at the moment so barewith me. I might just put the story on hold all together until my crazy life is sorted out. Thanks for the 25 reads!!!!! Love y'all enjoy!!

"So what you're saying is Liam Payne is not a bad guy?" my friend Avery asked during lunch. "Yeah. He's not as much as a jackass as I thought he once was." I say thinking back to yesterday's study session. I smile as I thought about our hug. He smelled like citrus or oranges. It was nice. "Hello earth to Monette!" Avery said snapping in front of my face. I jumped startled. "Huh?" "I asked what you were doing after school today." "Oh umm. I can't because I have to tutor Liam today." I said letting a smile creep into my face. "Aww. Someone fancies a particular football player." Avery said smiling mischievously. "Did anyone say fancy? I want to know who it is." Christian said sitting down. "I don't fancy anyone. Well actually there is someone...." I trail off. Avery and Christian gasp. "Who?!" I look at both of them seriously and say, "Christian!" Then I proceed to plant a sloppy kiss on his cheek and run to throw my trash away. As I'm going back to the table I hear someone whisper shout my name. "Monette!" I see Liam peeking from behind he door. So he can't be seen with me. That hurts just a little. "What's up Payne?" I ask. He looks nervous and antsy. "C-can we go to your house again to study?" "Yeah. That's totally cool." I wonder why he's acting so nervous. "And m-maybe c-can my brother Z-Zayn come too?" he looks at the ground. "Does your brother also need help?" "yeah." "Then yeah. That's perfect plus my mom is working on a new pastry so she's gonna need taste testers anyways." He laughs. I turn to walk away but he calls out. "And Monette..." I look at him,"...thanks." "no problem Liam. Meet me in the library at 3:00 so we can leave. Don't be late!" I say as I run off. "I won't be!" he calls after me. The bell rings and I catch up with Avery and we go to class.

I'm I go to the library at 2:54 pm and already find Liam and his brother Zayn waiting by the door. "Wow you're early!" I say, "How long have you been here?" "Since 2:48." Liam said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. I see Zayn just standing there awkwardly. I teach my hand out. "Hi I'm Monette LeGrange. I'm Liam's tutor and I can be your tutor too." I smile at him. "Hi Monette, I'm Zayn." "Nice to meet you. Lets go shall we."

"Ah! More people! Yes. You all must taste this new dish I have thought up of. It's a cake brownie! Tell me what you think!!!" my mom said herding us into the house and sitting us on the futon. "Mom! You're scaring them!" I say laughing seeing Zayn's face. I lean to him. "Don't mind my mom. She's a bit crazy when it comes to cooking. She's a pastry chef and works out of the house. That's why she's always trying to invent things." Zayn nods with understanding. Just then John comes down the stairs. "Hi Monette. Hi Liam. Hi other person I don't know." He says then walks into the kitchen. "John-Philipe IV!" my mom exclaims. "Go back out there and introduce yourself properly to the new guest!" she pushes him back out to the living room. "I'm sorry I'm John. And you are?" "Zayn Malik-Payne." They smile at each other. "Okay who is ready for some cake brownies?!?!?" my mom said setting the platter on the table. "Eat up young children!" she sings and waltzes back into the kitchen. "I like your mom." Zayn says. "And these brownies are so good!" Liam said. We laughed and finished up the cake brownies. "Mom. We are going to study now so try not to disturb us too much yeah?" I call out to my mom as we walk up the stairs. "Yeah whatever. But I'll be bringing the eclairs in about an hour so have your stomachs ready!" she called back. Zayn put his hand on his stomach. "I don't know if my tummy can handle much more." We made it to my room. "So this is my room. Zayn what exactly did you need help with? When I asked Mrs. Marsha she said your grades were pretty good and you're excellent in algebra. Good enough to be a tutor as a matter of fact." I say as me and Zayn sit at the small table in my room and Liam stretches out on my bed. I roll my eyes. He's acting like this is his house. Zayn started rubbing the back of his neck. This must be a Payne thing then. "Ummm....." "Can I tell you something Monette?" Liam said suddenly sitting up. I nod confused. What the heck was going on? Liam runs his hands through his hair. "So at my house it's only three of us: my mom, Zayn, and me." I nod telling him to continue. "My mom is sort of, okay she is an alcoholic who sleeps around alot and when she gets into one of her moods she likes to hit and yell at Zayn. So that's why he's here, i don't want to leave him at home by himself." Liam finishes. I look from Liam to Zayn and see his head is down and tears dripping down his chin. I go around the table and envolope him in a hug. "Don't worry, Zayn. You can come to my house everyday and stay for as long as you want. My mom needs round the clock taste testers anyways." I say and Zayn smiles. "Thanks Monette," he says in a raspy voice, "I'm glad you're the one tutoring Liam." I smile and hug him even tighter. I look at Liam who gives me a smile. He really isn't a jackass after all.

They started coming to my house everyday and my mom loved it. "You boys are like my own sons now! What am I going to do when all three of you go to college?" My mom said as we were sat around the dinne table eating a simple meal of fish and chips. "We'll visit you every weekend mom." I said, "And anyways we aren't seniors yet." "Oh, yeah. I have some good news." Liam announces. We all look at him. "So there was a pop quiz in algebra today and guess what I made! I made an A+!!!!" He said happily. "That's wonderful Liam!" my mom says while hugging him. I stand up and give him a hug too. He wraps his hands around my waist and I put mine around his neck. He still smells like oranges. He comes close to my ear that I can feel his breath on my ear and neck. "I couldn't have done this without you." He whispered. Shivers ran down my spine. We let go of each other. No one was paying attention so we sat back down and finished dinner. "Do you boys want to spend the night?" My mom asks later that night. "I mean, only if it's okay with your parents." Liam and Zayn look at each other."Yeah, we'd love to!" Liam says smiling. I smile too until I realize something. I'm going to be spending the night with Liam. Which means he's going to be in my house when we wake up. I pray to any gods in the sky listening right now that nothing awkward happens.
