The Last Call {Liam Payne AU }HIATUS

Chapter 5

“So you have a no sex contract with a man you really want to have sex with” Kate said as she took a sip of her drink and I nodded. We had been sitting at the bar for the past hour as I explained as much as I could to her. “And Kate, I really  want to have sex with him. He’s so fucking sexy it hurts, and when he touches me, even when it’s like a fucking monk touching you, I sends fire through my whole body” I said and she giggled. “Damn girl I feel for ya. But it’s only a month. And either you will get signed into the mystery contract or you won’t and can go bang whoever you want” she said with a smirk and I giggled. “yea you’re right” I said.

I was about to say something else when a guy who had been watching us for the past hour finally came up to us. “So can I buy you ladies a drink?” he asked and we both smiled at him. He was far from attractive and I knew he was not Kates type, and I was in a contract with Liam so technically I was taken. “Sorry but we have to politely decline.” Kate said, shooting the guy down in the most friendly way possible. “Come on just one drink?” He said, placing a hand on each of our knees. We both shifted away from his touch. “I’m taken and she simply isn’t interested. Try your luck elsewhere buddy” I said, getting annoyed with the creep who couldn’t take the hint. “I can pay. I make a lot of money” he said, smirking at us, making my skin crawl. “Look buddy I don’t know what you think, but whatever it is you’re wrong” Kate said, turning away from him. “Hey I know a hooker when I see one, and you two scream hooker. Stop being such uptight bitches, I said I can pay and I meant it.” He said, grabbing me by my arm.  “I believe these lovely ladies said they weren’t interested” I heard a silky smooth voice say. I looked up and my breath caught. The man looked like a god, a dangerous god, but a god none the less. He had short dark hair, light brown eyes and was wearing a white t-shirt with black jeans and a leather jacket. I could see  the edges of tattoos peaking out from the collar of his shirt. “Fuck off you stupid brit and mind your own business.” The man spat as he let go  of my arm. “Well see it is my business, and I suggest you walk away” The god-man said, taking a step towards Mr Creepy. “You gonna make me pretty boy?” the man sneered, and just like that the god man punched him in the face without so much as a blink. “Get the point now?” he said. Mr. creepy was looking like he was about to start something when two large bouncers walked up behind the man. “Problem Zayn?” one asked and the one called Zayn nodded. “yes this man just accused Mr. Payne’s lady friend of being a cheap whore.” Zayn said and my mouth dropped.

I watched in awe as the bouncers lead Mr creepy away. “Thank you.” I said, slightly annoyed. “I’m just doing my job miss.” He said, offering me a warm smile. “I was unaware that Liam was having me followed.” I said and Zayn chuckled. “There are people who don’t like him. He just wanted you to be kept safe. He’s not as bad as you think.” He said with another smile. I was about to scoff at him when I noticed the look Kate was giving him and tried my best not to laugh. “Zayn right?” I asked and he nodded. “I’d like you to meet my friend Kate” I said, gesturing to her. He turned around and his smile turned into A sexy smirk as he took her in. “Nice to meet you” he said, and I swear she swooned. “I should drive you ladies home I think.” He said and I sighed “I actually am not going right home. My boss needs me to do something for her, but you can take Hope home, along with this” Kate said, handing him her card. He smirked at her “I’ll be sure to use this” he said, before turning to lead me out of the club.

He walked me to a simple black car and opened the passenger side door for me before walking around the car and getting into the drivers seat. “So how do you know Liam?” I asked and he chuckled. “It’s a long and complicated story.” He said and I smiled. “I have time” I said and he let out a sigh. “A few years ago him and I got into a stupid bar brawl. I kicked his ass, hard. I was a trouble maker and would have gone to prison if Liam hadn’t bailed me out. Told me anyone who could kick his ass he wanted on his side. Offered me a job on his private security and boom here I am.” He said and I nodded. “He’s a great employer and believe it or not has become a pretty good friend too. He may be really into the company but he does let loose every now and then, and is a decent lad.” He said giving me a warm smile as we pulled up to the front of my building. “Well I guess I will be seeing you again. Thank you for earlier and thank you for the ride home as well” I said, giving him a warm smile. “No worries babe.” He said as I climbed out of the car and watched him drive off.

I let out a heavy sigh as I entered my apartment. I knew being with Liam was going to be interesting but I didn’t think he would have me followed. I was just climbing into bed when my personal rang. I didn’t recognize the number but answered anyways “Hello?” “Hope? It’s Liam. I, um, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” He said and I couldn’t help but smile at how unsure he sounded. “I’m fine thank you. I guess Zayn spoke to you?” I asked. “He did. He also seems to fancy your friend” he said with a chuckle and I couldn’t help but giggle. “Well Kate doesn’t give her card out often, so tell him he should feel flattered and to not pull the waiting a day bullshit because she won’t stand for it.” I said, smirking to myself and he let out another chuckle. “I’ll be sure to pass that along. Anyways I have a full day tomorrow and I must be getting to bed. I will see you soon as I am back love.” He said and I sighed. We said goodnights and I switched my light off and snuggled into bed.

I awoke the next day around my usual time of noon and decided to have a quick shower before texting Liam, telling him that if he is going to have me followed I might as well have Zayn’s number so I can contact him when I decide to go out. He agreed and texted me his number, which I saved in my phone. After a few hours of doing nothing I decided I would do some shopping so I pulled out my phone and texted Zayn. He was surprised I had asked Liam for his number, and even more surprised that he had agreed, but was grateful to not have to be a stalker and sit and watch my apartment for hours to see if I went out. After about an hour I met him outside my building and we headed out for an afternoon of shopping. I found out a lot about Zayn that afternoon. I found out he was the same age as Liam, that he loved to draw and that he had, in fact, called Kate earlier that day. When he dropped me off at my apartment I felt a little better about the idea of having someone accompany me everywhere, especially since I really enjoyed Zayn’s company.
