Chapter 13: Niall

Okay, so shouldn't I feel relieved that he has never been in a crazy love fest relationship? Or did this just confirm what I was also thinking: someone like Liam would never settle down with a guy, especially a guy like me. Totally unworthy of him, that is all I was.

Once we finished eating our lunch, the guy who Liam talked with at the bar earlier brought out our tableside s'mores. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. It was a big wooden bowl and in the center was a little burner. Around the burner in the bowl there were two sticks, some marshmallows, a Hershey candy bar and four packs of graham crackers. Liam picked up one of the sticks and stuck a marshmallow on it. He handed it to me and I roasted it over the little flame. He opened the crackers and the candy bar and had it all ready to go since my right hand was still sore. Good God, could this guy just not get any better? Just then my marshmallow caught on fire and I laughed. Liam grabbed my hand and blew it out then took the marshmallow and sandwiched it in between the crackers and the chocolate. I was still trying to recover from him grabbing my hand and sending electricity through my overly sensitive body when he took the cracker and put it up to my mouth for me to eat it.

Holy crap, he was feeding me the s'mores. Yes, yes he could get better!

Liam started to laugh when the marshmallow trailed from my mouth to the cracker he was trying to pull away. I reached up and tried to break it. Shit, it was getting everywhere.

We both laughed as he tried to make and feed me s'mores. I totally forgot all about the bitch working behind the bar. At one point I looked up and if looks could kill, I'd be dead on the spot right now.

Liam finally ate his last s'more and walked up to get two glasses of water. Bitch Michael was trying to make a conversation with him, but I could tell Liam was not the least bit interested. For one brief moment I let myself believe we were here on our first date. It could not have been any more perfect.

Liam set the waters on the table and then slid back in. "Thank you so much for lunch Liam; this really was fantastic. I'll never eat a s'more again without thinking about you!" I said as I used one of the wipes to clean my hands and mouth.

"Good, because that was my plan all along," he said to me with that smile.

"What was your plan?" I asked as I looked at the piece of marshmallow that was on the side of his perfect mouth. I could not pull my eyes away from his mouth.

"What're you looking at Niall? Is there something on my face?" Liam asked with a smile.

I don't know what came over me but I reached up with my left index finger and tried to wipe the marshmallow off his mouth. Liam grabbed my hand, and before I knew what he was doing he put my finger into his mouth and sucked on it.

Holy hell, I'm pretty sure I let out a moan. The ache down at my cock grew ten times stronger. I just stared at him. I could not tear my eyes away from his mouth. It was the hottest damn thing I'd ever experienced in my life. I didn't want him to stop...ever. He slowly took my finger out of his mouth.

"Now that was the best thing I've tasted all day," Liam said with a wink and a smile. I just sat there stunned. I don't even think I was breathing. How did he do that? How could he make me want him so damn much? Did he know what he was doing? Surely he knew that was going to turn me the fuck on.

Okay, I had to clear my head and get away from him because I was so ready to just jump on him. No! I could not do this. Liam was not looking for a relationship, and I certainly was in no way looking to let someone in just to get hurt again.

"Um, I guess we should leave, don't you think?" I said as I looked up at his beautiful eyes. His smile faded for one quick second and then it was back.

"Sure, you probably need to get things ready for tomorrow," Liam said as he slid out of the booth. He took my arm and helped me up and guided me out the door with his hand on the small of my back. God please help me, because every time he touched me, I thought I was going to explode.

As we stood and waited for Liam's truck to be brought back up, he made small talk about graduation. What time was it, how long did I think it was going to last? Once we got the truck and got in and started toward my house, he started to talk about the graduation party. Talk about trying to keep the small talk going.

"So did you invite any other friends to come tomorrow night?" Liam asked, trying desperately to make small talk.

"Um, yeah, I think Louis was going to invite our friends Luke and Heather. They've been to a few UT frat parties with us, so yeah I think they will be up for it."

"So just three friends is all you're inviting, Ni? I mean this is your party, so you can invite whomever you want. You know that, right?" Liam said as he watched me very closely.

Huh? What was he expecting? Me to say I was inviting a guy? My heart sank for just a moment. Was Liam going to have a date there? I started to get angry just thinking about it. Really honestly Niall, it's not like he's your boyfriend.

"I know. I really only have a few close friends and to be honest I want to start moving away from the high school crowd. I've been dying to come to one of y'all's parties for so long. I'm pretty excited about it!"

Liam let out a laugh. "I know how that feels...wanting to get away from everything high school. Um, so tell me, what frat parties have you and your friends gone to?"

Oh shit...busted. "Liam, please don't tell Greg! He would be so pissed at me if he knew. I mean he is so overprotective, and I'm so shocked he is even having this party for me and...and, well, I mean we only went a few times and it sucked each time we went. My God those college guys had their paws all over us. It was disgusting! Although, Heather lost her virginity at one of the parties, but..."

Just then I heard Liam start choking. Oh...Oh no! Oh holy shit, I swear I have zero filters. Zero.

"Oh my God, are you okay? I mean, oh my God, oh my God! I can't believe I said that out loud. I mean, oh holy shit, oh no! Please Liam, don't repeat that...ever! Oh God, first I slip about Louis to Greg and now Heather! Holy hells bells, Heather's is going to kill me, and if Greg ever found out that one of my friends...oh my God, I almost said it again..." There it went...my mouth talking when my brain clearly had checked out again.

"Jesus H. Christ, Niall, please...just please stop talking! You're making it worse!" Liam said as he had tears running down his face. Thank goodness we were stopped at a traffic light. I looked over at Liam and busted out laughing. I laughed so hard and it felt so good. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard or had so much fun. I loved spending time with him. I didn't want this day to ever end.

Everything about him made me happy. His eyes, his smile, his touch, his laugh. We must have laughed for a good five minutes. God, it felt so good to just be carefree and relaxed.

I was surprised Liam knew where I lived. I don't ever remember him coming over to the house. "How did you know where I lived?" I asked as we were driving down the street that lead to our simple three-bedroom house.

"I've been here plenty of times, Niall."

"You were just never home. I think you might have been home one time but I usually just waited out in the truck for Greg," Liam said with a smile. He looked up and his smile faded and was replaced by a look that scared the shit out of me. I looked over towards my house as Liam parked his truck.

Holy hell. Harry was sitting on the steps to my house.
