Irresistible
chapter three
Chapter inspired by:
"If you're pretending from the start like this, with a
tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart. I might miss
everything you said to me. And I can lend you broken parts, that
might fit like this. And I will give you all my heart so we can
start it all over again" - Over Again by One
Direction.
"I feel bad about
sneaking around like this." I sigh and look up at the night
sky, the stars dancing and twinkling with every second that
passes by.
"I know. Me too." Liam
entwines our fingers and gives me an assuring smile.
"Charlotte loves you." I look down at our hands and
can't help but feel guilty.
I can't help but give in to the burning tears that sit in my
eyes. I bite my lip as hard as I can, just to stop the tears from
flowing down my face.
Liam wipes away the first tear and pulls me closer to him. My
head, now laying on his chest, pounds with guilt and
hurt.
"It hurts Liam."
"What hurts?"
I move my head so I'm looking straight into his eyes. His
free hand cups my chin so there is no possible way that I could
avert my gaze.
"My heart, Liam. I was never treated right. Ever. I've
just been used for my body and left in the freezing cold.
Alone," I sigh and allow the hot tears to fall. "It
hurts. I can't go through it again. Especially not with you.
And I definitely don't want to hurt Charlotte."
Liam removes his hand from my chin and brings me back into our
previous position. His hand slowly moves up and down my arm,
trying his best to comfort me. "I won't ever do
that."
"Why not?" I say into the thin fabric of his white
baseball tee, no doubt leaving a few mascara stains.
"Because I love you."
Those last three words seem to fill every empty spot of my aching
heart. Those last three words show that Liam was, and still is,
worth waiting for.
I kiss his warm cheek and wrap my arms around his waist. "I
love you too, but Charlotte..."
He silences me with a sweet, but short, kiss. "We don't
need to talk about her right now, just us."
We stayed like that all night. Neither of us daring to leave the
other's side.
