Chapter 24

This is also kind of filler, sorry! I just need a couple chapters before I drop the bomb c:

"Hey." I noticed Liam sit up in the bed, the way he sighed as soon as he did assured me that he's already dozed off for a few minutes. Typical. "You done already?"

"Yeah, it just took me a few minutes to dry my hair," I said as I turned the light in the bathroom off, and walked over to him, still running my hand through my hair. It wasn't even completely dry; I was just too lazy and the blow dryer was too loud.

"Okay," Liam mumbled and watched me as I set my knees on the bed, and smiled when he looked up at me, "You're wearing my shirt."

Like the idiot that I am, I took a look at the shirt I pulled on when I finished my shower, and smiled too. "Well, it was the only one I could find. And I like how it looks like a dress on me."

"That's a great dress, then," He grinned and reached up to trace the Imagine Dragons logo on the shirt; during which his smile faded. "Are you feeling okay?"

I rolled my eyes even before he finished his question; I knew it was coming. "I am. I really am," I nodded at him in reassurance, and finally laid down next to him. "I mean, I've never felt more sore in my life, but..."

I started laughing loudly at the look on his face; I knew exactly what I was doing, and his reaction was amusing, to say the least. "Is that why you wanted to do it?" He mumbled, "To torture me later?"

"I'm torturing you?" I laughed again, looking at him as he looked at the ceiling. "No, I'm just saying. You could have given me a heads up."

I noticed him frown, "How does a guy give a girl a heads up about his dick?"

Liam looked at me again as I started laughing, again, the loudest I had the entire night. "Oh my God, I don't know," I said through a chuckle, "Maybe something like 'hey, I don't mean to scare you, but you should know that I have a rolling pin in my boxers'?"

"Oh my God," He groaned loudly and I couldn't help but start cackling once more. "Don't fucking call it a rolling pin, what the hell is wrong with you?" I could barely hear him as he rubbed his face with both hands, embarrassed because of me.

"Well, to be honest-"

"No," He interrupted me, "Don't be honest. Don't ever be honest about it again."

I bit my lip; it was actually really cute how he called it 'it' in front of me. "Can we go to sleep now?"

"No," He surprised me a little when he shook his head, "I can't sleep."

I frowned, "You have the energy to stay awake?"

"Well..." He began as he sat up again, and let himself fall back down in three seconds, "It's barely two in the morning. I usually don't go to sleep until three."

"Are you serious?" I widened my eyes a little, "Even on a school night?"

"Sure."

"How can you manage to stay awake?"

"Coffee, or energy drinks," He shrugged, "And then I spent the entire day sleeping."

I breathed out a laugh; that made more sense. "Then when I wake up I do homework or study, and then I'm on my laptop 'til I go to sleep."

"Your laptop?" I raised my eyebrows, "Where's your laptop?"

Liam turned his head to look at me, his eyebrows a little furrowed at my sudden change of tones. "Um, it's over there?"
