Ten - Something Great

Tuesday




I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and groaned a bit. I rolled over and answered my phone. "Hello", I said groggily. "Hey, are you okay?", Liam spoke to the phone and I hummed. "Yea, why wouldn't I?", I asked. "I don't know, you weren't in school so I got worried", he said and I chuckled. "I didn't feel like coming, I needed some sleep", I said and he hummed on the other line. "So you're okay?", he asked. "You just woke me up, I'm annyoed", I said with a chuckle. "Wanna come over to my place later then, I'll make it up to you?", he asked. "What're you planning?", I asked. "We could chill, watch a movie, I don't mind", he said and I smiled.


"Sure", I said. "Yea?", he asked and I chuckled a bit. "Yea", I said. "Pick me up when you get from work?", I asked. "Okay, I get off around three", he said. "Okay, I'll see you in few hours then", I said and felt myself blushing. "See you", he said and hung up. I got up from the bed and walked in my bathroom. I stripped my clothes off and stepped in the shower. I washed myself, stepped out and wrapped a towel around my waist. I brushed my teeth and stepped back in my room.


I walked to my dresser and pulled out some cozy clothes. I pulled on black sweats and a white t-shirt. I slipped bracelets on my wrist and ruffled my hair with the towel. I ran my hand through my hair and headed to my bed. I put my phone, keys, cigarettes and lighter in my pockets and walked downstairs. I stepped out of the house, smoked a cigarette, stepped back in and walked in the living room. I sat on the couch and turned the tv on. I started to watch the show it was playing when I turned it on.


After a while I got a text from Liam saying he was in front of my house. I walked to the door, pulled my shoes on and stepped out. I got in Liam's car and gave him a small smile. "How are you feeling?", he asked. "I'm good", I said and he nodded turning the radio on. "So you just didn't feel like coming to school today?", he asked and I nodded. "I was tired", I said with a small chuckle and he nodded. "Well three more days", he said. "Four technically because I have to wake up early Saturday morning", I said and Liam chuckled. "I guess", he said.


Liam parked the car in front of his house and we got out. We walked in and kicked our shoes off. "By the way, do you remember what you said to me when you drunk called me?", Liam asked and I blushed nodding. "The push me against the wall, I know you like it rough too one", I said and we sat down on the couch. "Yea, that one", Liam said with a chuckle. "Was it true?", he asked and I almost choked on my saliva. "I write from personal stuff, remember?", I said and he nodded smirking. "Yea, good, me too", he said and I chuckled a bit.


I fiddled with my bracelets because they made my wrist itch and saw Liam stare. "You can take them off you know, it looks like they make you uncomfortable", Liam said and I shrugged. "I don't want to look at them", I said. "You don't have to", he said and I nodded a bit. I slipped the bracelets off and placed them on the coffee table. I rubbed the scars a bit with my hand and sighed. "Hey", Liam said placing two fingers under my chin and lifted my head so I was looking at him in the eyes. "You're beautiful, don't even worry about it", he said and I blushed. "Thank you", I said smiling and he nodded taking his hand away from me.


"Are you hungry?", he asked and I shrugged. "Not really", I said. "Have you had anything today?", he asked and I shook my head. "It's almost four in the evening", he said and I shrugged again. "Come on, let's go make some food", he said taking my hand and pulling me up from the couch. "I can't cook", I said and he chuckled. "I can cook, you can watch", he said and I nodded. We walked in the kitchen and I sat up on the counter.


"Liam, can I ask you something?", I asked as Liam took out all the things he needed. "Of course", he said and I nodded. "When did you realize that the bad boy thing was just an act?", I asked and he chuckled a bit. "I mean I always thought that it was an act but I don't know, probably when you were here for the first time", he said and I nodded. "Okay and did you really think I got beaten up at school?", I asked with a small chuckle and he nodded. "Yea, I mean it's pretty common for bad boys to get in to fights", he said. "I guess", I said with a chuckle.


"Ah fuck", Liam cursed and I looked at him. He moved to the sink and put his bleeding hand under the water. "Zayn, you okay?", he asked and I hopped down from the counter. "Yea, I just-", I said and tried to catch my breath. "I don't do well with blood", I said looking at my hands that were shaking. "Go sit down at the table, it's just a small cut, don't worry", he said and I did as he told.


After a while, he sat next to me placing a glass of water in front of me. "Thanks", I said quietly and sipped the water. "Are you okay?", he asked and I nodded. "Are you? You're the one who almost bled to death", I said and Liam chuckled. "I promise, it was just a small cut", he said and I nodded. I looked at his finger that was now covered with a band aid and nodded again.


"I didn't know you were afraid of blood", he said and I chuckled. "Yea, how could I be because I cut, right? Yea, I don't know", I just said with a chuckle. "I freak out only when someone else is bleeding, to be honest", I continued and Liam nodded. "I'm fine", he said and rubbed my back. I nodded taking a deep breath and sipped the water again.


"We should continue cooking", I said and Liam nodded. "Are you sure you're okay?", he asked and I chuckled. "Yes Liam, I'm fine", I said and he nodded. He kissed my cheek, got up and walked back to the counters. I followed him and sat up on the counter again. "What are you making?", I asked and he looked at me. "Steak and mash", he said and I nodded. "Can I sing?", I asked and he nodded. "Of course, sing something you wrote?", he asked and I nodded.


One day you'll come into my world and say it all
You say we'll be together even when you're lost
One day you'll say these words
I thought you'll never say
You say we're better off together in our bed


I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining


Come on, jump out at me
Come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?


I finished the song and Liam smiled at me. "That's really good, and you're really good", he said and I could feel myself blush. "Thank you", I whispered and bit my lower lip. Liam stood between my legs and removed my bottom lip from my teeth with his fingers. I chuckled a bit looking down and he rubbed my thighs with his hands. "You can't do that, it makes me want to kiss you", he said and I looked at him in the eyes. "Sorry, it's just a habit", I said and he nodded. "I know", he said cupping my cheek and ran his thumb over my bottom lip.


I smiled at him and he went back to cooking. My phone rang and I fished it out of my pocket. "Heyo babe", I said and Louis chuckled on the other. "Mr. Payne might get jealous if he hears you call me that", he said. "He just did", I said with a chuckle. "Cool cool", Louis said. "So, what do you want?", I asked. "Woah that sounded a bit rude", Louis said and I rolled my eyes. "Sorry", I said and chuckled. "But yea, I just wanted to know if you were okay because you weren't in school but I guess you're fine", he said. "Yea, I was just really tired", I told him.


"Yea, I feel you mate, but few more days", he said. "Yep, few more", I said. "Food's done", Liam said and I nodded. "Okay, Tommo I gotta go, my food's done", I said. "Oh he made you food, hubby goals", he said and I chuckled. "Bye now", I said blushing. "Bye, and stay safe, use protection", he said and I chuckled hanging up. "What did he say?", Liam asked and I hopped down from the counter. "Just wanted to know if I was okay because I wasn't in school", I said and Liam nodded.


"There you go", Liam said handing me a plate and I nodded. We walked to the table and I sat down. "I'm gonna get drinks", Liam said and I nodded. Soon he walked back with two glasses of water and set them on the table. He sat opposite from the and we started to eat. "Can you stop staring?", I asked after a while and chuckled a bit. "Yea, sorry", he said and I nodded.


When we were done with the food, we got up and took our dishes in the sink. "Do you want to watch a movie?", he asked and I nodded. "Sure, what do you wanna watch?", I asked. "You're the guest so you pick", he said and I chuckled. "Can we watch..um, If I Stay?", I asked and chuckled a bit. "Sure", he said. "Really?", I asked and we sat on the couch. "Yea, why not?", he said and I chuckled. "Well most guys think it's 'girly'", I said making air quotes on the girly.


"I think it's a good movie", Liam said and I smiled. "Me too", I said. "But I cry everytime, just a warning", I said and chuckled. "It's okay", he said smiling. He searched the movie from Netflix and put it on. I smiled a bit and leaned my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me and I cuddled against him.


"This movie is so sad", I said quietly after a while and sniffled. "Yea, it is", he said running his hand up and down my arm. By the time the movie was over, I was a mess. I had seen the movie many times but still everytime it made me cry. "Liam", I said and cleared my throat. "Yea?", he asked wiping some tears from my face. I chuckled a bit and looked at him in the eyes. "Can I maybe, like stay the night?", I asked. "Sure", he said and I nodded. "I'm gonna just text Rose", I said fishing my phone out and Liam nodded. I texted her saying that I was staying at Louis' and she responded with an okay.


"Do you mind if I step out and have a smoke?", I asked and Liam shook his head. "I don't mind, I'm coming to keep you company", he said and I nodded with a chuckle. We got up from the couch and walked out of the front door. I fished out a cigarette and my lighter. I lit it and shoved the lighter in my pocket. I sucked on the cancer stick and breathed the smoke out. "How come you let me smoke even though I'm underage?", I asked breathing in the smoke again and Liam chuckled. "I know what it's like to be addicted", he said and I raised my eyebrows.


"You smoke?", I asked. "I used to", he said and I nodded sucking on the cancer stick again. I breathed the smoke out and took one last breath of smoke. I dropped the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it and blew the smoke out. We stepped back inside and I ruffled my hair a bit. "Wanna go upstairs?", Liam asked and I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Not like that, just to chill, cuddle", he said with a chuckle and I nodded. "Sure", I said and we walked upstairs.


We stepped in Liam's room and lied on the bed. I placed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. "You know, I could get used to this", he said and I smiled. "Yea, me too", I said drawing patterns on his stomach with my finger.
