"Well if you don't have anything going on, how would you like to meet the rest of One Direction?"
When I didn't respond to his offer he added,
"We could even bring Libby and Mads."
The fangirl inside of me died for at least the third time in two days. But I tried my hardest to keep calm and muster a "Sure".
He noticed how hard it was for me to restrain myself and chuckled. He laced his fingers trough mine as we went to get Libby and Mads. They both had to get off of work so Libby faked sickness and Mads claimed she had cramps. Mads drove Libby to the Holiday Inn where the boys were staying and Liam drive me. He was a really good driver, and he was busy concentrating on the road because he didn't know it very well and he didn't want to wreck his rental car.
So I focused my attention on the music coming from the radio that was set to a Top 40 station. I realized that I was singing along to Give Your Heart A Break by Demi Lovato about a third of the way through the song. I had started singing almost subconsciously, force of habit I guess, but I figured that it was too late to stop so I lost myself to the song and just let the words pour out of me. When I reached the end I noticed that the music was turned way down, we were stopped at a red light, and Liam was staring at me.
"What?" I asked, suddenly feeling extremely self conscious.
"Nothing, it's just that you're an amazing singer."
"Really? You think so?"
"Of course! You're voice is beautiful."
I smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek before the light turned green and we pulled up to the hotel.
Once we got there, we took the elevator up to the top floor. We stepped out into a tiny hallway with one door, it led to the presidential suite , which Liam happened to have a key to. He slid the key card through and opened the door to the best hotel room I had ever laid eyes on. It had its own stocked kitchen, three bathrooms, five beds in three separate bedrooms, and in the living room, there was a huge flat screen set across from a couch, a love seat, and two chairs. And sitting right there, were One Direction.
Louis and Zayn occupied the chairs while Harry and Niall were sitting on opposite ends of the couch. When they saw Liam and I, they all shouted
"Hi Ava!"
Wow, I thought they were attractive on posters and videos, but they were so much hotter in person!!! I did my best to not scream and fangirl and I was able to choke out
"H-hey guys"
I then turned to Liam "Now you definitely told your friends about me,"
We all laughed at that and I noticed Harry eying me up and down. Before I could say anything to him he spoke up.
"Nice job mate, she's gorgeous,"
"Yes, she is," he said while he possessively wrapped his arms around my waist from behind "and I saw her first,"
I turned my head and gave him a kiss which we both smiled into while everyone yelled either "aww" or "get a room!"
Liam grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine while we stepped inside revealing Libby and Mads standing in the doorway, both obviously still in shock.
"No way! You brought us girls?!" Harry and Niall asked excitedly and almost in unison. Libby blushed and Mads giggled before they followed Liam and I over to where the boys were sitting. We took the love seat and Mads and Libby sat in between Harry and Niall on the couch, Mads next to Harry and Libby next to Niall of course.
"So girls," Louis started "how old are you?"
"We're all nineteen," Mads responded.
"So do you all just go to the uni here?" Zayn asked.
"No, I go to Northwestern, majoring in elementary education, and minoring in music," I responded.
"I go to The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, majoring in accessories design," Mads chimed in.
"And I go to William and Mary in Virginia, majoring in biology," Libby added "but we're all from here and we've been best friends since freshman year of high school."
"Very impressive," Harry said "do you want to play a game of twenty questions?"
"Ooh yay! I love this game! I'll start!" Louis said "Mads, favorite color?"
"Yellow," she replied "Niall if you had a superpower what would it be?"
"Invisibility, Libby cats or dogs?"
"Dogs, Zayn if you had to due your hair, what color would it be?"
"No! I love my hair, I would never dye it!"
We all burst out laughing as Zayns hands flew protectively up to his quiff. The game kept going until each of us had gotten at least ten questions and my stomach hurt from laughing. And then we decided to watch a movie.
"What should we watch?"
"TOY STORY!" Liam and I shouted.
"Ugh, not again," the rest of the boys groaned.
"Toy Story...Three?" I offered.
"Fine," the boys replied with exasperated sighs and eye rolls. We fast forwarded through the previews and started the movie. I had snuggled up really close to Liam. He had his arm around my shoulder and my head was resting in the crook of his neck. My legs were folded up in his lap and our fingers were intertwined on my thigh while his thumb was rubbing circles on the back of my hand.
Liam didn't take his eyes off of the screen, I guess the rumors were true, Liam really was crazy about Toy Story. But what really shocked me was that as they were about to go into the fire, the part where I always cry, I could feel the tears welling up and my vision start to blur and when one fell down my cheek, I felt the pad of a thumb wipe it away. I looked up at Liam and saw him staring down at me.
"Are you okay, love?" he whispered into my ear.
"Yeah, I'm fine it's just sad," I replied into his.
He kissed my temple and smiled down at me while pulling me closer to him, which I didn't think was possible, and then turned his head back to the screen. Once the movie was over, I noticed that Harry's arm was around Mads' shoulders and Libby and Niall were holding hands. Zayn and Louis had whipped out their iPhones and were probably texting their girlfriends, Perrie and Eleanor. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was five fifteen.
"Wow, look at the time, we should probably get going," I said, motioning to the girls "you guys have your soundcheck soon."
"Yeah we probably should be getting ready lads." Liam said.
"Nice to meet you"s were exchanged as Libby, Mads, and I got up to leave. We were walking out the door when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to find Liam standing there.
"Wait! Are you going to our concert on thursday?" he asked us.
"No, the tickets were too expensive," Libby responded.
"Would you like to?" he asked flashing three pairs of tickets and backstage passes.
"Yes!" we all screamed in unison while reaching out to grab a pair.
"Thank you," I whispered in his ear after pulling him into a hug.
"No problem," he said after we pulled away "see you tomorrow?"
"Of course,"
He smiled "Wear something nice. I'll pick you up at six,"
"Okay," I replied as I gave him a peck on the lips and turned to walk out the door, incredibly excited for my date.
********Liam's POV********
As soon as Ava and her friends left the room I went back to sit on the love seat and saw all the boys immediately crowd around me.
"You have to stop this mate," Louis said.
"What? No, I can't," I responded.
"Yes, you can. And you have to, you're falling for her," Zayn chimed in.
"No, I can't be. I just met her, I can't have feelings for her, at least not yet," I said while thinking.
"Liam, we all saw you during the movie. For Gods sake you stopped watching Toy Story for her! You never did that with Danielle and you two dated for over a year!" Niall added.
I flinched at the sound of my ex-girlfriends name. But he was right, I never did, Ava just looked so vulnerable and sad...My thoughts were interrupted when Harry spoke up.
"Mate, don't do this to her,"
"I don't have a choice!" I almost yelled.
"Yes you do," Harry said reassuringly "you always have a choice, an you're definitely making the wrong one,"
