Chapter 14
Liam's POV
Zayn walked out of Kaylen's room, lightly brushing my shoulder as he passed. I stood, thinking. Did Zayn like Kay as well? Did they have something? Should I inform Harry? I mean, it'd be cruel to hide whatever I just saw from him... Or would it be? Technically him and Kaylen weren't official. So I owed nothing to him, Harry and Kaylen were two separate beings. Technically. "You're bloody brilliant sometimes Liam" I thought to myself as I made my way to Kaylen's side. I breathed deeply, knowing I had a lot of explaining to do, but even more apologizing. She let a smile escape her lips, reassuring me.
"Oh Liam! I'm sorry, I am so sorry." She whispered furiously as she hugged me, her arms around my neck. "I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me. I shouldn't have over reacted and let other issues over lap the whole Nicole/Danielle thing. God I feel so stupid and petty, I wasn't thinking straight. Ahhh I am so sorry!" She oozed at me, loosening her hold on me to look me in the eyes.
"Kaymieee," I cooed at her. "It's not your fault, I should have remembered that you had no clue Danielle and I are no longer together. I'm sorry too; I was inconsiderate towards your feelings, so caught up in my excitement of finally introducing you all to Nicole. She really is lovely, wonderful actually, in every way." That last part came out in one breath and my understanding sister grinned at me.
"You love her don't you, Liam?" She asked the smile still firmly placed on her face. I nodded, suddenly aware that my cheeks were on fire. I ran my fingers through my hair before looking up at her.
"I do, Kaymes. I really do. She's perfect." I told her, knowing I sounded really cheesy at the moment. Yet she gave me no grief but instead just chuckled.
"Go on then, tell me how it happened, what she's like, everything!" She urged, playfully pushing my shoulder.
"Hell, well where do I start. First off, Danielle confessed to cheating on me around eight months ago, we immediately broke up. I had had a feeling that something was up with her for months at that point and I was shattered. She had meant the world to me, and I had fallen for her. I didn't want to give up on her; I tried talking things out with her for like two weeks shortly after the break up. I would call her, tell her she was meant for me, show up at dance rehearsals with lunch, everything and anything imaginable. At first she stringed me along saying she needed time because she wasn't sure 'us' was appropriate at the moment. At one point she stopped answering my calls, my tweets, texts; she fell off the face of the earth. But we dated for two years love; I know her weakly routine by heart. One Tuesday I went to her gym, just at the time she should have been there.
I walked in of course, asking for Danielle at the front desk. Nicole piped up from her workout machine." As I gave her the play by play, my mind created a flash back.
-Flashback happening as Liam explains it-
"She's not here today. Hello, I'm Nicole. You must be Liam." A lovely voice chimed from behind a treadmill. She came into view quickly, long wavy dirty blonde hair, blue green eyes with tints of gray, and a splash of lightly colored freckles across her face.
"Uh yes, hello dear. Where is she?" I asked, tripping over my words. She looked at my gift in hands: her favorite smoothie from a shop down town, a new Jack Wills playsuit she had eyed last time we went there, and two movie tickets. She sighed sadly before looking at me with her piercing eyes.
"May I talk to you outside?" She asked tentatively. I agreed, a little startled. We headed out to the outside of the gym, sitting down on a near by bench.
"Look Liam. You're obviously a sweet guy, and I love Danielle, so much. But you could do so much better, as much as it pains me to tell you, you deserve to know. She's been dating James, the guy she cheated relentlessly on you with, from the day you two broke up. She's engaged to him and has no intention to be with you again. I am so sorry for being so blunt, but it infuriates me how well you treat her when she doesn't even deserve a call from you. I know I'm coming off as very standoffish but I can't see such a genuine guy waste his time on someone who doesn't care. Sorry Liam." She lightly breathed her last words before turning to walk away from me. I reached out to grab her gently.
"Thank you Nicole. That's the first time in awhile that someone has considered my emotions. Can I buy you a coffee? Or uh, well, do you care for the smoothie?" I grunted, motioning at the drink in my hands. She smiled at me before giggling. "Or you know I have these two movies tickets, we could go, if you want? It's the least I could do for you. Please?" She laughed once more.
"What time is the movie?"
"Fifteen three, dear."
"Downtown Cinemas?"
"Yes ma'am."
"See you there, Liam."
"Alright love!" I called to her, but she was already in the gym.
End of flashback
"After that little get together we slowly got to know each other and now we've been dating for five of the best months of my life. Sure, we have our issues here and there, actually a lot like the problems you see in your relationship with Harry." I told Kaymie just as I finished telling her about Nicole.
"Oh, how so?" She questioned.
"Well you know, I had kept her a secret for Danielle's career sake, and that bothered her, just how you being unofficial in Harry's perspective bothers you."
"How'd you guys get over that then?"
"I explained myself a little more, but even before that she thought it over and understood my intentions. Now I'm taking a step in my own pace, introducing her to you and the lads and Jessica, and in two weeks, the rest of the public eye. So you see what I'm getting at is that his intentions aren't to hurt you, but like me, to protect you Kaymes." She nodded thoughtfully as she soaked in my words.
"I have to get downstairs, thank you Li, I love you!" She yelled jumping of the bed and bolting for the door. I laughed at her feeling relieved knowing we were now at peace.
