Chasing the Clouds

Lis’s POV
“Hey babe, I’m going to the grocery store real quick. Be back in a little bit.” Liam announces grabbing his keys and wallet.
“Ok, see in a bit.” He leaves the house so I check to make sure he’s gone before running into the kitchen, grabbing my hidden stash of cookies in the pantry and the whipped cream out of the fridge. I tip toe like I’m going to be caught back to my spot on the couch. I turn on the TV and pig out like I always do when no one’s here. I finally found a decent movie to watch.
Liam walks through the door coming home from the store, hands full of bags. By now I am watching some gossip channel, they were doing something on Channing Tatum so I couldn’t help but put it on.
Now I have realized we haven’t really talked about One Direction lately, and obviously that’s not good. So here’s a little update, as we all know Zayn Malik and his long time girlfriend Perrie Edwards are engaged to be married and so are Liam Payne and his girlfriend Elisabeth Wills, along with Louis Tomlinson and his new fiancée Eleanor Calder. I guess they just couldn’t let Zayn and Perrie have they’re spotlight for a second, talk about selfish.
“Li are you hearing this?” I ask, pausing the TV.
“Every word.” He looks just as irritated as I feel.
And not to mention, Harry Styles got his girlfriend Rose Benson pregnant after being together what? 6 months? Just couldn’t wait could ya Styles?
“Just turn it off, that’s unbelievable.” Liam cuts in. I ignore him; I want to hear everything they have to say about us.
The only good ones seem to be Niall Horan and his new bird Lannie Walker. Then again they haven’t been together that long, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
The wink she ends the sentence pushed over the edge. “Who the hell does she think she is to come on and say we are selfish, whores, and everything else she managed to fit into the three minutes we have been watching! We are people just like her and just because we haven’t been together that long doesn’t change anything! So what we’re getting married? We’re in love! Which I bet someone like her doesn’t know about because nobody loves a b-“
“Hey, hey, hey.” Liam rubbed his hands soothingly up and down my arms. “It’s ok. This doesn’t mean anything. Ya she was completely out of line but we no none of that’s true so you cares.” He embraces me in a tight hug. I took a deep breath and returned the hug.
“Your right, I’m overreacting.” I admitted. I shook my head and leaned back a little bit to see his face. “What did I do before you?” I ask.
“You were a miserable, unhappy, boring, friendless, mess.” He jokes and my mouth falls open. “Oh! Sorry.” He leaves a little pause. “You were a hot mess.” He says and smirks.
“Hahaha.” I laugh sarcastically.
Now enough about the whole group, I’ve got some dirt on one particular member. Liam Payne. We caught Liam meeting with someone, not just anyone. A woman, someone who is definitely not Elisabeth Wills. Stay tuned for the exclusive pictures.
“Li, what are they talking about?” My eyes flicker across the room before they find his. He looks genuinely confused. “Who did you meet with.” I ask.
“No one that I remember.” He tells me but for some reason I feel like he’s holding out on me.
“That you remember?” I ask mad and making sure he knows it.
“Babe, I promise nothing is going on.”
“I should’ve known, this is too good to be true. You had to have had some angle. Getting publicity or something. And I fell for it, I fell for you. You never loved me did you? You were always with her.” I run up the stairs and lock our bedroom door behind me.
