"Its Gotta be Yoooooooooou!" -OneDirection :)
~play song Little Things and Glad You Came for this chapter :) (1D and TheWanted)
[Liam's POV]
"Are we all ready!', I yelled happily and ran to the stage. Everyone who was helping and who I invited excited-ly sat down on their seats.
Tonight is the night.
I sighed one more time and sat on the tall one-man stall and held a microphone on my hand tightly and pressing it on my chest. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in.
"He's here", I heard Lou say from his seat on the table with Mum and Dad.
The lights dimmed and I saw Lance's silhouette walking toward the etrance ( a short semi-oval shaped entrance, designed with vines and flowers that matched the theme of the event and surrounding the perimeter of the venue were bushes which were perfectly trimmed and perfectly green) That was also when I heard a car coming to a stop in the front, and that's when the lights completely were out and only candles lighted the area.
I smiled as I heard the car door shut close.
He is here.
[Zayn's POV -about an hour ago]
Whats up with Liam? Its been three ours. And I'm sure a guy like him wouldnt want to last so long in a mall.
Where is he?!
Damn it. This only made me pissed even more.
Today is our sixth month anniversary and it feels like he forgot about it. He totally turned me down when he didnt even greeted me, not even just a simple greeting.
I sighed. Why did he just forget about this very event in our relationship? Why now? Now that this day marks our half-month stay together as a couple. And he seemed that he really didnt even care.
That was the reason why I didnt move out of bed lately this morning, afternoon and even now.
He really broke me like how a glass will shatter into pieces after what gravity will cause to it.
It hurts like hell.
I jumped in shock when Jeri slammed the door open and yelled my name.
"What?", I hissed as I put my hand over my pounding chest.
"Did I scare you?", he snapped with a brow raised higher.
"What do you think?!", I retorted.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that", he said scratching the back of his neck.
"What are you here for? Where's Liam?", I asked on my questions with my expression as pissed and confused. He went to the mall with Liam. And Liam isnt here with him.
"He is out to buy something", he said. Lie. I know whenever he lies. Its in his voice that makes it obvious.
"Get up and change into these,", he ordered and tossed a grey jacket on my bed with a red v-neck and semi-tight grey jeans which matched the jacket's shade of grey.
"What for?", I furrowed a brow at him.
"I'm taking you out", he smirked and laughed which triggered me to laugh with him.
After a few seconds of laughing, I pokered my facial expression as if no laughing ever happened.
"Seriously", I said and the thought of Liam's surprise popped in my head.
"I'm taking you somewhere, okey? So please hurry up and change", he blanked his expression as well and walked to the open door way. "I'll wait downstairs", he muttered and walked out.
---
I jolted downstairs, wearing what Jeri told me to wear and I paired it to my grey All-Stars.
Jeri stood off the couch and reached down his left side pocket and took out his carkeys.
"Lets go", I just nodded to what he said and we walked out the house, leaving it empty and lifeless. Jeri locked the front door and I went to Jeri's new SUV ahead of him. Luckily, the passenger seat was not locked. So, I climbed in a waited.
---
The drive was boring. And SILENT.
Jeri is never silent. Whats going on?
When Jeri hit the breaks and stopped the car, I looked out the dim window and saw nothing but candle lights. I heard Jeri step out the car, and out of my mind, he opened my door and reached an hand out for me. I humbly took it and stepped down off the SUV.
Jeri lead me through the darkness. He came to a stop with a loud final stomp. And suddenly lights slowly transisioned upon us and it came from a semi-oval formed bush of vines with ... blue and white roses?
Under the semi-oval bush I found a familiar shaped silhouette.
Lance?
"I love you, Zayn", I turned my head to Jeri who had wet eyes. Is he about to cry?
"I love you too, Jeri, but why are you about to-", he cut me off by pulling me to a tight hug.
"Now,", he sniffed. "go to Lance."
He let the hug loose until I was free from it.
"Go", he whispered and wiped a tear off his cheek.
"Alright", I smiled at him and walked forward to the silhouette.
"Hey, li'l bro", Lance smiled down at me.
"Hey, Lance", I smiled back.
"Tonight you are going to become a man", he chuckled and then breathed out.
"Huh? Whats going on?", I snapped.
"Tonight, Dad, Jeri and I will be seeing our boy evolve to a man", he sniffed and placed an arm on my back shoulders.
I couldnt say a thing. I was speechless.
Whats going on?!
Lance started walking forward slowly, bringing me with him.
As we walked slowly, music started playing and lights started glowing, to guide us on our path but the surrounding is still at zero percent visibility rate.
"Your hand fits mine like it's made just for me.
But bare this in mind that it was meant to be.
Now I'm join up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks.
And it all makes sense to me"
Someone sang in the background. It was Liam and it was obvious. He is here. I knew and I felt it. We arent wolves but Liam and I share the bond. We feel something if we are being brought close and feel something bad when we are set apart. The bond.
"I know you loved the crinkles by your eyes.
When you smile you never loved,
Your stomach on your thighs,
The dimples at your back at the buttom of your spine and I loved them... Endlessly"
He continued and I melted with his voice and all the emotion placed into it. As Lance and I kept walking, I felt being elevated and Lance snaked his arm off my shoulders. He wasnt going to walk with me anymore.
"Go, li'l bro", he said and I nodded.
I was climbing on a short staircase, I realized.
"I wont let these little things slip out of my mouth.
Cuz its you, its you,
oh, Its you they add up to..."
When there were no further steps, I felt someone interlaced his fingers with mine. Then I was sure it was Liam.
"And I'm inlove with you. And all your little things", the music stopped playing and Liam stopped singing. He turned me around and he crashed his lips on mine.
That was when the lights started showing off and giving a spotlight of me and Liam on the stage.
In our kiss, I looked around and it really suppriced me. I closed my eyes and pulled him further closer to me.
When we broke away from the kiss, and I connected our foreheads.
"Happy 6th month to us, babe", Liam whispered, his warm breath crashing on my lips.
"I- I thought you forgot", I shakingly said. I let off a lone tear out of my eye and frowned a little bit.
"Why would I forget such a event in our relationship? I love you and I know that you know that", he said almost to a whisper, pain in his eyes and voice.
"I never meant to doubt you, Liam. It just hurt me when I woke up and it all seemed like nothing is up. It crashed me to alot of tiny pieces awhile ago", I confessed and I heard some people awed and cooed somewhere.
There are other people here?!
"Well, I want you to know that I will never forget anything when it comes to you and me and us", he smirked and took my hand in his and he interlaced our fingers, locking them firmly and marking them his by a peck on the back of my hand.
I blushed.
He held the microphone on his other hand and placed it infront of his mouth. He made us face each other, my chest facing his chest, and he opened his mouth and the music started playing again.
"The sun goes down, the stars come out,
And all that counts is here and now,
My universe will never be the same", he started singing and I blushed and placed the microphone between us.
"I'm glad you came", we both sang together. The music blasted louder and Liam's smile turned to a playful grin and started grinding and dancing. The lights all over the area finally turned on giving me a view of fancy designed tables and chairs, covered with cloth that matched everything -- even the flowers.
"You cast a spell on me, spell on me,
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me,
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no one else could see you and me", Liam sang in perfect tone and pitch, making me laugh at his silly hand gestures as he sang.
The music was louder now and I watched Liam as he kept grinding on the air and throwing his hand as he sang.
I felt someone tapped a finger on my back and I turned around and see that it was Lou handing me a microphone. I smiled and took it. After all the smiling, Lou turned on his toes and walked to a table with Lance.
I turned around with my heels and sang along with him, "The sun goes down, the stars come out,
And all that counts is here and now,
My universe will never be the same. I'm glad you came"
"So glad you came", we ended the song and I wrapped my arms around Liam's neck. I leaned on him and just plainly pressed my lips on his, no moving, no sucking, no tongue. Just a sweet press on the lips.
I pulled my lips away and I rested my head on the crook of his neck.
"Lets have some dinner before I give you my gift", he whispered and placed his arms around my waist.
"Gift? There more surprises?", I gasped.
"This isnt even half of my supprise. The real surprise isnt until after we eat"
"Alright", I swallowed and stepped away from the hug.
"Dinner everyone. Please enjoy", Liam said on the microphone.
What could the surprise be?!
I'm nervous and excited. I cant wait.
* * *
[Liam's POV]
Everyone were chit-chattering. Murmurs and laughs everywhere.
They really must be enjoying.
I let out a heavy sigh.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and in shock, I turned around almost hitting the guy.
It was Dad. Zayn's dad, my stepfather.
"Nervous?", Dad asked.
"Yeah, and a little too overwhelmed too", I snapped.
"Thats exactly how I felt when I asked Zayn's mother to marry me", he chuckled.
"I dont know how to do it, I'm scared. I am sure he wont reject me but...the responsibilties", I looked at the ground.
"That is what you have to conquer, Liam", he said and placed his hands into his pockets.
"Its time", he smiled and walked pass me. "Good luck, son"
With that, I took a deep breath in and let it out.
'I can do this', I cheered mysef up.
I can do this.
---
"May I request my brother, Zayn, up here on stage", Lance said on the microphone and people started to become silent.
I stood at the far behind Lance, almost on the rear back of the stage.
When I saw Zayn sitting on the stall there and giving Lance a hug.
This really is it.
I walked to Zayn and hugged him from the back, my arms going around his waist. I heard Zayn gasped in surprise and I smirked.
"You ready?", I asked.
"For what?"
"My surprise"
"Badly", he smirked and that made me walk in front of him and I took the wireless mircrophone off the hold of its stand.
I breathed out and placed the microphone infront of my mouth.
"This goes out for you and only you Zayn", I said and sweet music started playing on the background.
"Zayn", I begun and I took another breath in and then out.
"It takes Two to be one,
It needs Love to unite,
The Love where no one turns back and run,
The Love we live for and fight.
A span of time made me realized,
That the bad I saw in you were lies,
That I should stand up and get my feelings well-organized,
And that I should fight for the one who captured my heart and my eyes.
This kind of love never crossed my heart and mind,
Until the day you set your face infront of me,
I thought the love we share was hard to find,
But you sent my doubts away and free.
They say that love is eternity,
That love lasts forever,
That this love is only You and Me,
That love is a never ending river.
Let's make us last,
Let's work out a few more things,
Though I dont want to go a little too fast,
But lets begin forever with a RING.
A ring to symbolize us,
A ring to keep us reminded,
That our love wouldnt rust,
That we are and will always be united.
Zayn Jaavad Malik,", I felt a happy tear escape my eye and I knelt down on one knee and took out a black and white velvet designed mini-box. "Will you marry me?", I continued and opened the small box infront of him.
I heard him gasped when he saw the silver and gold patterned rings. Both of the rings were for men, both of the same design actually. The outside of the ring had a laser carved infinity symbol and at the inside of the ring had a name on it. Zayn's name on my ring and my name on Zayn's ring.
"Will you be mine, starting off today and until the day we die? Will you join me in the marriage ceremonial? Will you face the altar with me? Will you face the consequences and troubles set for us? Will you-", I was cut off when Zayn pulled me off the kneeling-on-one-knee possition and started kissing me heavenly.
"Of course, I will marry you", Zayn said when he pulled away and connected our noses. "And oh, I will face every consequence, trouble and danger there will be for us. As long as I'm with you until we step away from this world, I will face everything just to keep us strong and binded as one", Zayn said and pecked me a kiss again before he pushed himself off his seat to hug me.
"I love you, Zayn", I said, rubbing his back as I felt him cry.
"I love you too, Liam. I love you so damn much", he sniffed.
I pulled his off my neck --cupping his face-- and made him look at me.
I mouthed 'Dont Cry' and I didnt think twice but to crash my lips on his, tasting the sweet and salty essence of his tears of joy.
Zayn and I are probably the happiest men alive...
... We're getting Married. I couldnt be anymore happier.
