I shooed away the sudden appalling memories and stress of the irritating thoughts to see if I can actually enjoy having a simple date with Liam. I situated myself inside of Liam's car, instantly inhaling the piercing scent of his strawberry car freshener.
"Well, are you ready?" Liam asked through the huge grin that settled between the indented creases on either side of his smile.
"Yes sir!" I said playfully releasing a giggle. Liam changed his expression to a thoughtful one as he reached over to grab my hand, kneading his thumb up and down my minuscule knuckles. "I want you to know that I love you so much. Even if we get into fights," The recollection of the night before dripped its way into my memory. The seething anger that leaked from his heated frame when he saw Harry, to him a complete stranger hidden by the darkness and his sports car. The instantaneous guilt that seeped its way through my veins as my mouth oozed lies to try and cover up my concealed secret. The remorse that was displayed all over is what killed me the most, the sensation of daggers stabbing me and ripping my heart into shreds as his features mimicked mine; pain and misery.
My conscience ate its way through my emotions as a tear crept its way down my face, the mixture of self-hatred and guilt continued its way down until the gentle touch of Liam's thumb wiped it away. I immediately met his hand at my face with mine, trying to squeeze the pain away that was engrossing my body. "Liam don't ever say sorry again, it was my fault for coming home late and it was obvious to feel that way. I love you so much never forget it." The concoction of a lie and truth fell through my mouth causing my nerve endings to ignite with shame.
Leaning over I placed a lingering kiss onto his luscious lips. Our lips pressed to each other tightly, showing our passionate love and commitment to each other and the pain that we both experienced. Sitting back into my seat I tried sniffing away the tears that were begging to come out. "Enough sappy talk lets go." I giggled trying to lighten the mood from the previous tense and emotional one.
Twisting the key, the car let out a relaxed rumble alerting me of our upcoming departure. Liam gently pulled out away from the curb and we drove out of my quiet neighborhood. The ride was peaceful with music softly playing in the back round, however I liked the partial silence between the two of us. That's how it was with us, we didn't always need words to communicate. Our affection was excessively solid.
My eyes shifted from the darkened road ahead, to Liam's pristine features; his light eyes focused calmly on the road as he navigated us to our desired location. I found myself concentrating on every aspect of his etched face. A work done from above. The delectable state of his pigmented lips, his warm inviting eyes, that simply looked like pools of softened chocolate, constantly ignited at whatever point he smiled. The natural magnificence of his over all composition was sufficient to discharge an ejection of butterflies all throughout my stomach. A slight grin played cleverly on his lips as recognized my constant gaze.
"Is there something on my face babe?" He asked innocently with an indication of fake naivety. Giggling, I let out a small sigh.
"Other than your eyes, mouth, and nose - not a thing" I countered in a perky, mocking way. Discharging one hand from the stirring wheel, Liam intertwined our fingers together and provided for me an adoring, small squeeze. I watched as Liam's expression turned from calm to excited. Disentangling his hand from mine, his hand traveled to the radio and wound the volume handle up all the way letting an unfamiliar song wave throughout the car.
"This is my favorite song!" He shouted while bouncing up and down in his seat like a hyped up toddler who had just discovered pixie sticks. He began moving in all sort ways, pretending to not know how to dance, all while keeping his eyes on the road. He was truly incredible. Laughing at his reaction, I joined in on dancing to the unfamiliar song. He started yelling out the verses and I soon learned them, impacting them out very nearly as noisily as Liam.
