“Love? I have coffee.” Gray stirred hearing that beautiful six letter word. She sat up in bed and took the cup from him.

“Thanks,” she said, the words coming out rough from her voice still being tired, “what time is it?”

“A little after 10. How did you sleep?” His eyes twinkled at him. Gray smiled back.

“Like a rock. What’s the plan for today?” Their concert wasn’t until tomorrow so she guessed is was a pretty open day.

“The lads and I have a radio thing at one for a while, but after that I’m all yours.” Gray giggled. She took another drink of her coffee and put the cup on the nightstand next to the bed.

“Oh yeah? Who says I want you,” she flirted back. Liam scooted closer to her.

“Pretty sure you do. Care to join me for dinner?” Gray nodded her head, moving her body closer to his. Liam took it as a sign and pushed her body down with his, making her lay down. Gray’s heart started to race.

“I think I can clear my schedule.” She placed a small kiss on his collar bone.

“Good,” he said. His nose nudged against hers, a quiet way of asking for the next move. She closed her eyes and reached her head up to his letting Liam’s lips fall onto hers. His body pushed her down farther while tracing her bottom lip with his lip. Gray gratefully accepted opening her mouth and letting him in farther. Her arms moved up his body. He was holding all his weight with his arms giving Gray the chance to feel his hard, muscular back. She quietly moaned, man he had a nice back. Her hands swept up his shoulders and back down again before resting around his neck. Her fingers played with the hairs on his neck and Liam continued to kiss her, only allowing short breathing breaks. Gray felt like heaven, literally. They continued being together, not giving a care in the world.

The boys had already headed out an hour and Gray was started to get bored. There was only so much t.v. you could watch before you started to lose your mind. She suited up her running gear, silently thanking herself for bringing it. Gray headed out to the elevators to see the same, very grumpy, bodyguard keeping watch.

“Hey Steve,” she said cheerfully. Kill them kindness, right?

“Gray.” He barely even looked at her.

“I’m going out for a run, anything special I need to do?” The last thing she needed to happen was not be able to get back in.

“You’re fine. All the guards have your picture so there should be no problem. Enjoy your run.” He gave her a very small, weak smirk. Maybe there was hope after all. Gray took the elevator only to see more fans outside the lobby doors. Without the boys though, they had no clue who she was. Liam’s idea to cover her up last night was smart. She walked of the doors, past the other security guards and fan without anyone answers here questions. Thank god.

After a long hour run, her body finally told her to head back. She was dripped from head to toe in sweat quite possibly due to sprinting most of the way. Gray quickly checked checked her phone before heading back to the hotel. Liam had texted her.

LIAM: Our shower is broken. Use Zayns. Moved all your stuff in there. Room 1419.

Great. As much as she didn’t mind, she was still uneasy about going to Zayn’s room. She had barely spoken any words to them other than Louis and the last thing she wanted was for one of them to dislike her. They all were brothers and one not liking her could stop this whirlwind fantasy real quick. She hurried back to the hotel smiling at the security guard in front. He returned the smile and let her pass without asking any questions, much to the dismay of the fans behind her.

The elevator dinged letting know she had made it to their floor. She walked all the way down, passing her and Liam’s orginal room and knocked on Zayn. Deep breathes girl, you can do this. Zayn opened the door warmly greeting her with a smile.

“Come on in Gray.” He opened the door letting her slide though.

“Liam put your stuff on the spare bed.”

“Zayn, you still there?” Gray looked around trying to figure out where a woman’s voice was coming from.

“Perrie, my girlfriend on Skype,” he answered the question in her head,” want to meet her?” Gray shrugged her shoulders.

“Sure.” Zayn jumped back into his bed, picking up the laptop and moving it over for Gray to have room to sit on.

“Perrie meet Gray.” He turned the screen for Gray to see. In front of her was a cute girl with purple hair. Perrie’s face was smiling back at her.

“Ah love, I have heard all about you. You’re are Liam’s new American girl.” Gray laughed, wondering if there was some sort of English girl too.

“Guess that’s me,” she responded.

“So what’s the plan tonight with your lover boy,” Perrie asked.

“Dinner for two of room service,” Zayn answered before Gray had a chance to. He stared at the screen giving Perrie a look.

“Ohhh yes,” she smiled back. Gray felt like she was missing something.

“Yeah. Their shower busted so she is freshening up here,” he told Perrie, giving her the same look again. Gray was definitely starting to feel like something was out of place. It kind of felt like she was in a twilight zone.

“Well Perrie, it was nice to meet you. Hopefully it will be in person one day,” Gray said, smiling to the computer before heading off the bed.

“Bye Love!” Gray smiled back and walked into the bathroom, quietly shutting the door. She had every intention on showering right then, but Zayn’s voice outside made her wait and listen to the conversation.

“Perrie, you’ve got to see him. Funny loser Liam disappears when she is around. It’s mad. He is all protective, romantic Liam. You should of seen the way he jumped her after the concert last night, the poor girl didn’t see it coming. He was all normal before she arrived, but once she shows bossy protective Liam came out. He never did those things with Danielle. I don’t get it,” Zayn exclaimed. Gray sucked in a breath. She leaned closer on the door hoping he didn’t hear her body moving against it.

“Zayn love, don’t you know what that means,” Perrie asked over the screen. The silence Gray heard her assume that he had no clue.

“He’s in love Zayn, he is in love with Gray.”

----

Gray was in the shower much longer then she had planned, but after heading Perrie drop those words to Zayn the water was had a calming effect on her. As much as she loved to hear it, she knew it couldn’t be true. She barely never Liam, and vice versa. Being in love that fast only happened in movies, not real life.

She shook her head under the water once more time trying to wash away those thoughts and finally got out. She quickly dried her hair leaving it normal and natural for the night and threw on some clothes. Makeup really wasn’t her thing, which came in handy for when she was in a hurry. She swung open the door to see the band, minus Liam staring back at her. Niall’s mouth feel open farther causing Gray to laugh and blush.

“Gray.. you look hot,” Harry said trying to choose his words wisely. She had on a knee length sky blue dress that flared out at the hip. Simple, yet it hit her body in all the right places.

“Hey guys,” she smirked back to him. Guess she was on the right step to all of them liking her. All of them continued to be silent, just staring at her.

“Guys, just a dress,” Gray said trying to snap them out of it.

“Yeah fellas, keep your eyes off Gray Goose,” Liam barked to them all causing Gray to roll her eyes again. What a nickname.

“So, where’s Liam,” Gray asked. She was starting to really wonder what in the hell was going on. All the guys stared like goons at each other heightening Gray’s thought even more.

“He called a bit ago. Bathroom is all fixed up. You can head over if you want,” Niall explained.

“We will go with you,” Zayn said. He grabbed her bag and she grabbed her purse. Harry held the door open and they all headed down. At the door, they situated Gray in front of the door and they circled around her. Gray knocked trying to ignore them all.

“Liam, you want to let me in? Your band members are starting to freak me out,” she laughed. Liam swung the door open enough for just his body to be shown.

“Hi Love.” It was two simple words, but it still made Gray’s heart race. He looked amazing in a simple green button down shirt and black pants. She couldn’t wait for tonight. Gray was about to comment on his outfit until he fully opened the door. Behind him, the entire hotel room had been picked up and every space was covered in tealight candles. Gray couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Liam, I-. Wow,” she managed to whisper out. She stepped inside passing Liam and completely forgetting about the guys in the hallway.

“Bye boys,” she heard Liam say behind her. Soon his arms circled her waist bringing her back in closer to him. Gray couldn’t believe he did this all for her.

“This okay love? Took Niall and I two hours to get it all done.” He rested his head on her shoulder. Gray’s eyes got bigger and she turned around in his arms.

“Niall helped?” She was happy to hear another one liked her.

“Yeah, nice lad. Come on, the food’s getting cold.” They sat at the small two person table, both had the same thing in front of them.

“I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I went simple. Burgers and fries, only the best for you.” Gray looked acrossed the table and smiled at him.

“Works perfect.” They ate quickly but kept exchanging glances smiles and stares at each other. She felt like she was in high school again. They finished up quickly and stood inches apart facing each other.

“So what now,” she asked looking into his eyes.

“Well love,” he said moving his hands up and down her arms,” I’m going to do what I wanted to do for the last four hours.” He cupped her face with his hands and brought his lips down to hers, just grazing them. Gray took the first chance to throw her arms around his waist bringing his body closer to hers. She couldn’t get enough of touching him.

“That was worth the wait,” he pulled back letting them pull come up for air. His mouth placed tiny kisses along her jawline and down past her left knee causing her to suck in a breath.

“I missed your lips,” she whispered back. Gray’s eyes got sucked into his again as he just continued to stare at her.

“I missed you.” Gray pulled his head down leaving another kiss along his lips.

“What’s tomorrows plans?” She needed a minute to think before she jumped his entire body.

“Rehearsal, sound check, meet and greets and lazy time. We have to be at the arena at nine tomorrow morning,” he informed her. Sounded easy enough to her.

“So we have time then,” she flirted. His eyes continued to burn fire into hers.

“Yes love, loads.”

After a very lengthy makeout session, both had retreated into their pajamas and were laying in the darkness on the bed. Most of the candles had burned out a while ago, leaving just a scattered few still lit around the room. It was just enough light for Gray to see Liam’s face.

“You still awake,” Liam whispered. She was on her stomach cuddling the pillow under her head.

“Uh huh.” They had spent the last twenty minutes barely talking and just enjoying the silence around them.

“Liam?” She readjusted, giving herself a better view of his face. He acknowledged her with a nod.

“Can I ask you how this happened?” The words came out making sense and clear, but inside Gray was shaking like a life. The last thing she wanted right now was Liam to change his mind about her and send her packing.

“You came backstage with six cheeky girls,” he laughed making Gray roll her eyes. She lightly tapped him on his bare chest.

“Duh. That’s a given. I mean why I asked too. Who made that decision,” she asked, her heartrate spiking back up.

“Me. I told Steve to bring you back no matter what the cost. I couldn’t stop staring at you for the who concert, I’m surprised you didn’t notice.” Liam rolled on his side to look at her.

“Out of 10,000 people, you saw me?” He was havinghard time believing him.

“Yes, and that pretty yellow dress helped. You looked like sunshine,” he smiled at her,” there was something different about you, something I haven’t seen before. Instead of staring at us all like we were dinner you looked away and danced with the girls. Once you took your shoes off, not giving a care in the world I knew I needed to meet you.” Gray smiled remembering her dance party with the girls. They went at all so hard and laughed so much she had to sit down because she got a side cramp.

“So me and my amazing dance moves made you think that you had to meet me?” She still wasn’t understanding where he was coming from.

“Love,” his fingers grazed over her cheek,” as much as you think you are average, you are clearly not. You are the most unique person I have ever meet in my entire life. How could I not meet you?” Gray continued to stare at him, matching his breath for breath. Normally guys aren’t vocal like this, but just like Gray, Liam was his own unique kind.

“Your smile is infectious, “she told her, feeling the need to throw out a compliment.

“You are infectious.” He rolled closer to kiss his lips. Gray laughed.Liam pulled her close, continuing in the same position they had yesterday night.

“It’s 4:15. We have to sleep or you are going to kill me tomorrow.” Gray took it as a sign to be quiet and stop asking questions. She cuddled in deeper into his chest while his fingers casually ran up and down her arm. Gray tried not to think about the hours she had left with this man and just went to sleep.
