Starting Over

Samy’s POV
Liam and I spent the rest of the night together talking and cuddling. It felt so right to be back in his strong, protective, perfect arms again. It felt as if nothing could faze us, nothing was going to penetrate that barrier of protection and harm me or us. We decided to tell the boys and management first thing in the morning. They needed to know to head off any rumors that may be started if we were seen together in public. I had already texted my friends and family to let them know what Liam and I had decided. They were nothing but amazed and happy for us. My parents especially seemed grateful to Liam for not giving up on the idea of “us” and for always making sure that I was ok, regardless of our relationship status. They were grateful to all the boys really, as well as Eleanor and Perrie. They’ve been there for me too and I know that my parents understand that this group of insane boys and their girlfriends have become my family now. They’ll never replace my parents and friends from home, but my family has definitely grown by 7 amazing people.
Liam’s POV
Last night was perfect. To just sit and talk with the woman that I love more than life itself is something that I’ve been dreaming about for so long. I have my best friend back. I have my amazing girlfriend back. It’s everything that I could ever want. I haven’t told Samy yet, but I already posted our reunion on twitter and called the boys and management while she was in the shower. Hopefully she’s not too upset with me. I did it out of excitement.
“Liam” she says teasingly as she rounds the corner from her bathroom in nothing but a towel. My god I just want to rip the thing off of her, but I refrain. “Why are my twitter notifications blowing up with ‘congratulations’ and ‘we’re so happy for you guys’? Not to mention the text messages that I’ve gotten from all the boys and Eleanor” she smirks at me.
“Um… I may have already let it slip that we’re back together. Ok, slip may be an understatement. I may have practically shouted it from the roof. Are you mad?” I ask slyly.
“Not mad, just curious as to why you couldn’t wait for me to tell them” she replies still smirking at me.
“Because I love you too much and I’m too happy to wait” I say honestly as I approach her and wrap my arms around her still dam body and pull her impossibly close to me. “You know you’re driving me insane in this towel” I tease her as my fingers play with the only piece of material separating her body from the cool air in the apartment.
“Behave yourself, Liam” she teases back. “Doing what your lower half wants is not considered to be ‘going slow’” she states jokingly.
“My lower half doesn’t want this” I tease back “my heart does.”
With tears in the corners she locks her eyes onto mine and steps closer. She wastes no time in locking her lips to mine, letting her hands roam my back and eventually make their way into my hair, tugging on it gently but forcefully at the same time. I smirk into her lips, careful not to break our contact.
“What are you doing, love?” I quietly question.
“I’m finally getting what I’ve been longing for, you. Every single part of you” she pulls away and locks my eyes with hers as she speaks. Her words are more than I can take. I remove my shirt and unbuckle my pants as she drops her towel and makes her way to her bed. I join her momentarily. The rest is history. Mind blowing, passionate, perfect history. It’s as if no time has passed at all. It felt so natural and right. I’m not sure how slow I can take this thing with Samy. I just want to marry her right here and now. I know we’ll be together forever. I open my mouth to say something but I’m cut off by Samy speaking first.
“Marry me” she says quietly. Did I just hear her right? Did she just… no… she couldn’t have. She’s the one who wanted to take it slowly.
“What?” it sounds so wrong but it’s the only thing that I can think to say right now.
“Liam” she says more confidently now as she takes my hands and forces me to look into her gorgeous eyes “marry me”.
“Do you know what you’re saying?” I ask quietly.
“I’ve never been more aware or certain of what I’m saying. Will you marry me? I know I’m the one that ran away last time and wanted to take it slow, but who are we kidding? We’ve been in love with each other for almost 2 years. We know each other better than anyone else in the world despite being apart for all that time. It’s right. It’s always been right. Marry me” she explains as only she can.
“I was thinking the same thing” I admit “but I should be the one asking you” I tease.
“So ask me” she states flatly.
“Now? You don’t want something nicer than this?” I ask.
“I don’t need fancy. I need you and only you, forever” she states.
“Samy, will you marry me? Will you spend the rest of your life with me? Will you make me the happiest husband in the world?” I ask holding her smaller hands in the mine.
“Yes, a billion times yes” she cries as she grabs me and holds me as tightly as she can.
“Hold on a minute” I say getting up and walking to my pants that are still lying on the floor. “Here,” I say returning to the bed and taking her left hand in mine again. “I believe this belongs to you” I say as I slip the ring onto her finger where it belongs.
“You carry that around with you” she asks in shock.
“Every moment of every day since we broke up” I say honestly. It’s true that ring has been secretly in my pocket every single day. Even when I was with Sophia. “I just couldn’t bare the idea of getting rid of it or not having it with me. It was the only thing that continually linked me to you. It gave me hope. It kept me grounded.”
I look up to see tears of utter joy and love flooding her eyes. I take her in my arms again and kiss her with everything that I have, everything that I am, everything that I possess in my very soul. This is everything that I’ve ever wanted. She’s going to be my wife and that’s all I’ll ever need as long as I live. The clouds are finally gone and I can feel the sun once again.

Notes

Sorry it's taken me so darn long to update :-( I've been going through some personal stuff and work has been giving me nothing but double shifts. Exhaustion set in and all I could think about was sleeping and trying to keep myself together. Anyway, I think things are finally settling down so I should be able to update more. Thanks for reading!
