Round 2
http:/www . polyvore . com/date_no2/set?id=46727819
Late October-
5 pm-ish in Liams house.
Days passed slowly for both of them. Yes, they did text and no, it wasn't the same as in person.
Liam and the boys were in Liam's parent house in his old room , indulging in some chinese lunch.
"OK, what if BooBear got a girlfriend?" Harry asked as he chewed the top of his chopsticks. Louis looked at Liam and shook his head.
"Yes, she's a girl, yes, she's my friend- But, no. She is not my girlfriend" Louis pointed at all of the boys. "But do tell us what you would do" Louis smiled, going back to stirring his noodles.
"Well... Err, I'd put myself into his position first and then decide" Liam got up from his seat with his phone in his hand and he took a seat at the windowsil. His bedroom window looked out onto some feilds and trees. Nothing interesting. Nothing special.
"Firm answer. Firm answer" Louis nodded with his food.
"Liam? Why do you not hang out with us anymore?" Zayn asked. He wiped his lips and Liam just sighed.
"I take my imaginary girlfriend to Panem and go to Hogsmead where we buy time machines(!) What do you think I'm doing?" Liam chuckled. Emma taught him all she knew about Hogwarts and Harry Potter and Dr Who. The boys were quiet. "I rehearse. I walk around. I go on Twitter and YouTube. Everything that normal, non famous teenagers do" Liam smiled at them.
"Deal drugs and say the world hates them?" Louis laughed and Harry nodded.
"No. Watch movies. Talk to friends. Look at funny pictures of Cats on the internet!" Liam smiled as his phone tinged in his hand.
"Get girlfriends like Louis" Niall gently kicked Louis and he looked at Niall, shaking his head slightly.
"Damn. Shit, forgot! I have to leave you. I'm late for coffee with..." Liam thought quickly on the spot, "My grandad. It's his birthday" Liam grabbed his hoodie, checked his hair and sprayed a light coating of hairspray before puckering at his reflection. Liam went to walk out of the room before coming back in to spray some aftershave. "Do I look alright? Does my bum look nice?" Liam asked the boys, turning to try and see his bum in the mirror.
"Very... Squeezable" Zayn chuckled. Liam winked at them with a smile then left. They looked amongst themselves, blank faced.
"I have a funny feeling that he isn't meeting his grandad" Harry said. He tapped his chin and the boys shook their head.
"Maybe his grandad has a certain way he wants Liam to look?" Louis offered.
Liam ran out to his car and made his way to the city centre. He looked at his watch and traffic started to build up. "Not today! Not today!" He scowled at the old man driving infront of him. Liam wasn't one to get angry very easily but it was coming through especially concentrated today. He beeped his horn and tapped the steering wheel several times before pulling out his phone from his pocket.
'ducking traffic :'( meh!
will be 15 maximum :)
where'll you meet me? I don't want to walk alone :('
He sent it and sighed, leaning on the steering wheel. Liam rolled his forhead on the top part of the steering wheel and she texted back.
'don't worry about it :)
you know where that mahoosive statue is? in the city centre?
meet me there :) x'
Jesus, he thought. She sent a kiss. Nobody ever sends him kisses. Not even his grandmother. Liam just smiled brightly and put his phone back into his pocket, having a small excited dance to himself. Little did he know, there was a car beside him with a teenage girl looking out the window, watching him bust drastic moves in his driving seat. He danced to the beat of 'One Thing' and made sure not to move his head to much for the sake of his hair. Liam felt a pair of eyes watching him and he turned to see the girl with a shocked expression and a raised eyebrow. He stopped imediatley and done the 'Inbetweeners' part of the song quietly and calmly. Traffic finally moved and Liam rushed to the city centre. He was over his 15 minute time limit. "Sorry! Excuse me!" He moved through the crowds that were coming back to their cars from a day of shopping. "Sorry" Liam sighed, getting to the open shopping centre space. He sighted the large statue and jogged over to it, dodging some old women and men. He looked around and nobody else was there. She must have went home. "Fuck!" He kicked the bottom of the statue and put his hands to his face. Liam then proceeded to check his watch. It was half past six. He was over an hour late. "She hates me. She hates me" He told himself over and over, beginning to make his way to Starbucks alone.
Meanwhile, at the top of the street, Emma was walking out of the Body Shop, sniffing her hands and wrists after using and purchasing their new moisturizer. "Liam!" She shouted, seeing him stroll to the coffee shop on his lonesome. He looked up and smiled a relieved smile. He walked and met her halfway.
"I thought you showed up, saw me and left" Emma sighed with a flustered smirk. Liam shook his head sharply making Emma smile.
"I thought you thought I had stood you up and went home" Liam put his hand to his heart. Emma shook her head.
"Everybody gets stuck in traffic" She said in a quiet voice. "Does nobody recognise you with your hood up?" She asked, holding her newly softened hand out to him. "Take it, you loonatic" Emma laughed. Liam merged his fingers with hers and they walked down to the Starbucks together.
"Not really, thankfully" Liam chuckled. "It's nice not to have a camera in your face all the time" He smiled. Liam turned into a gentleman and held the door to the coffee shop open for Emma.
"What do you want?" Emma asked when they got to the counter. Liam took his hood down and fixed his hair slightly.
"Just the Halloween special. I'll get us a seat" Liam put his hand to her shoulder and brushed some of the rainwater off before moving over to a booth. Liam bounced his knee and looked out the large window at the people walking down the street in the rain. He toyed with the orange and black halloween themed napkins until she came over with their drinks.
"So! I have a question I've been dying to ask" Liam laughed, stirring his dark orange drink. Emma sipped at hers and nodded. "Do you like to Go-Kart? Or Paintball?" Liam asked. Emma peered her eyes and smiled slightly before putting her cup down.
"I've never been paintballing. I heard it hurts. I don't like pain" She laughed. Liam listened to everyword she said. "Go-Karting- I've never been. That's really embarassing. Nineteen year old girl never been Go-Karting." Emma sighed, sipping at her drink again. Liam shared his experiences with Paintballing and Go-Karting and even showed the small scar on his hand to prove it. "That's why I don't want to paintball! Bruises! I've seen my cousins come back from it with black and blue and purple limbs" Emma laughed. Liam looked off into the distance and Emma followed his gaze. Niall stood at the counter with Zayn, ordering drinks.
"Oh God! They don't know about you and myself yet" Liam tried to hide his face but Niall left Zayn at the counter and walked over. Zayn hadn't noticed one bit.
"Your grandfather is very young and very pretty. Nice to meet you; Niall Horan" He introduced himself with a handshake and he kissed the back of her hand.
"Emma Carter" She smiled at Liam who was still trying not to get noticed. Niall nodded.
"Well, Emma Carter, I can see that you guys are on a date, is it? First Date?" Niall nudged Liam.
"Second actually" Liam told him. Niall nodded with approval.
"Good work, my man" He hit Liams arm with a grin, "Going for the third, eh?" He asked. Liam sighed and nodded.
"Hopefully!" Liam cleared his throat and sat upright, "If you didn't join us" Liam kindly smiled. Emma laughed quietly.
Niall crossed his arms and stood for a little moment. "Sorry, I'm intruding. Hopefully, I'll be seeing more of you around" He then proceeded to kiss Emmas hand again. "Kissed her more than you already" Niall smiled. Emma looked at Liam who was cringing and blushing. "See you back at the house, Li. Your mum gave us the spare key"Niall smiled smugly and went back over to Zayn.
"Who were you talking to?" Zayn asked. Niall shrugged.
"Liam and his grandad" He smiled.
"Can we go say Hello?" Zayn begged. Nialler shook his head.
"We left Larry in the car without the window open. Come on." Niall opened up the shop door and Zayn followed behind him.
Liam just put his head into his hands and tried not to laugh. Emma was giggling away.
"I can't believe he just done that" Liam face her and laughed with her.
"Don't worry about it, Liam!" Emma patted his arm, "Looks like he's supporting you" Emma told him. They tried to get over what Niall had done and they finished up their drinks, heading out into the rain. They looked around at the empty shopping street. The shops were closed and the streetlights were on. "It's still early. We could see a movie?" She offered. Liam looked down at her with a smile.
"Do you know what's premiering tonight?" He asked with a knowing grin. She shook her head.
"The Rum Diary?" Emma smiled. He shook his head.
"Paranormal Activity 3" Liam said. Emma nodded.
"Yes. Good thinking." Emma smiled again and started to make her way to the cinema only a few streets up. People were starting to notice Liam and he put his hood up and followed her.
They got to the cinema which was crowded with eager Screamfest fans. They had the T-Shirts. They had the posters. There was a guy with a camera, capturing the before and after reactions of the cinema goers.
"T-Shirt? Poster? Memerobilia photgraph with the cut out?" A woman with hot pink hair and glasses asked them. Emma took the Poster and Liam took the T-Shirt. Liam led the way to the ticket machine and put his card in. Two adults. Normal Seating. Half past Nine showing. He retrieved the tickets and turned back to Emma.
"With or without the cut out?" A man asked.
"Without" Liam smiled with confusion at Emma before they were taken to the other side of the cinema and placed against the Paranormal Activity 3 official poster.
"Stand close and hold your tickets up" The man smiled, holding the polaroid camera. Liam and Emma moved close together and put their hands around eachothers waist and held up the tickets. "Perfik! Smile!" The geeky man told them before the flash went off. Both of them blinked and looked at eachother, noticing how close they were. It was a spur the moment kind of thing and Liam bent down to give her a proper, lip to lip kiss. Everything stopped moving and the hyped up Screamfest was suddenly silenced. Another picture was taken and they both looked at the guy. "Sorry. Couldn't help myself" He said, flapping the two pictures in the air before handing them over. Everybody was then literally silenced by a flashing light in the foyer of the theatre. The doors were opened to the room and everybody rushed in with their tickets. Liam and Emma were thankfully in a good set of seats. Slap bang in the centre of the theatre. There was shouting and whooping when the lights went down. Emma and Liam just sat in silence and brought their jackets and shirts up to their eyes. Emma was practically glued to Liams bicep for the whole movie. Liams eyes were glued to the screen and he let a few shouts and jumps. Emma just peered out of the corner of her eye and refused to look at the closing scene. She heard everything and didn't need to see it. There was a loud buzzing noise then a demonic roar, signalling the end of the movie. There was clapping and eveyrbody was whistling.
"Right, well, I think I've seen enough!" Liam sighed. Emma nodded and grabbed her bag from the ground and Liam took her hand so she wouldn't get lost in the mad rush to get out the doors.
"That was really scary" Emma sighed with one hand at her heart.
"You look a bit peaky" Liam laughed. Em looked up at him as they walked to the carpark
"PEAKY? You were the one screaming at the top of your lungs" Emma laughed. Liam pushed his eyebrows together then laughed.
"Well, like you said; It was scary" He smirked. They got to Liams car and started to make their way back to the countryside.
"I'll go home and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks or something to get my mind off of that" Emma said as she touched up her messy bun. He laughed and took the turn down the white gravely path and parked outside her large farm house. "I wish it didn't have to end" Emma looked up at the house and gritted her teeth.
"Well, when are you free ne-" He almost got his sentence out.
"I have a competition next week and the week after that, so maybe... Hold on" She brought her phone out and scrolled through her calendar. "The 19th of November. How's that for you?" Emma smiled up at him and put her phone away.
Liam sighed. "I go back to London that day." He bit the corner of his lip and turned to her. "Wacky Idea; You come to London with me. Not permenant. Just a few days. I'll settle in on the 19th and you just come up on the 20th?" Liam offered. Emma didn't have to think twice.
"That'd be great." She smiled.
"20th of November it is. I'll get you...?" Liam said
"At the train station" and she leaned across, taking her fingers under his chin and gently gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Before he knew it, she was gone, walking up the large stone steps to her house. He drove home happily and with a large smile.
"No, no, no- Die you undead motherf-!" Harry shouted at the screen as he played the Xbox. Louis just patted his shoulder and scrolled through his laptop.
"It's not real" Louis told him, "Oh, wait- Top right! Top right!" Louis shouted. Niall was watching in awe and Zayn was in the shower. "Three o'Clock! Right there- Fuck this, I'm getting a controller!"
"Don't you have a girlfriend to text?" Harry asked. Louis had the controller and took the space on the edge of the bed next to him.
"Not my girlfriend" Louis told him, already engrossed in the game. His phone chimed many times before he had to answer. Louis balanced the phone between his shoulder and his ear as he battled zombies with Harry. "Yes, love... No, love- Motherf- Not you, love" He said to her. Louis came so close to shouting that Louis hat to nudge Harry to paused the game. Louis got up and held the phone.
"There's no pausing in real apocalypses, Louis" Harry said, tugging at the bottom of Louis' chinos. Louis passed a dazy, hazy Liam at the door and Liam flopped onto his bed. He let out a long sigh and threw the T-Shirt onto Harrys shoulder. "What's this? Paranormal Activity 3? You went to the premiere?" Harry asked. Liam nodded. He looked at the clock. It was only midnight.
"Had nothing else to do" Liam rolled onto his back and smiled. "I think I love my grandad" He laughed. Harry turned around.
"You're meant to love your grandad anyway. It's, like, the rules of family!" Harry smiled.
"Boys, when we get back to London, I want you to meet somebody" Liams foot his Nialls shoulder and Niall just chuckled.
"Alright! There's no running from it; I officially have a girlfriend now" Louis said when he walked back in. All the boys looked at Louis who had a big childish grin on his face as he scrolled through his phone. "Somebody managed to tame the Tommo. Never thought it could be done, myself" Louis stretched and put his phone into his pocket.
"Louis' got a girlfriend! Louis' got a girlfriend!" Liam sang. They all chorused except Niall who had his own version.
"Liam has a girlfriend too! Liam has a girlfriend too!" He chorused when they were all chanting. The chanting died down and Niall was left singing his own version. Everybody looked at him and then at Liam who was glaring.
"Don't. It was only the second date and besides, not sure where it's going yet" Liam defended.
"You wanted us to meet her in London, didn't you?" Harry asked. Liam nodded. "You're going to London with her? And you say you don't know where it's going? Wake up and smell the Nandos, my friend!" Harry rose from his spot on the bed. Everybody was looking at Liam.
"I'm off to have cybersex in your mums ensuite, is that alright?" Louis asked, picking up his laptop. "I'm still here." Nobody looked away from Liam. "Fine. You drove me to it" Nobody answered and Louis disappeared. He poked his head back in the door. "I'm kidding I'm going to the living room. I wouldn't do that... When they're asleep" Louis laughed, closing Liams bedroom door over.
"So you were on a date! Check you out!" Harry hit Liams knee. Liam nodded with a massive smile. "What happened?" Harry asked.
"We... We kissed a little bit. I touched her bum by accident." Liam blushed.
"Was it soft?" Harry asked. Liam and Niall looked at him. "You brought it up" Harry said quietly.
"By accident! I didn't bloody grope it" Liam sighed.
