Chapter 44
*Savannah's POV* Well, the tour started back up a week ago and everything is back in full swing. After quite a few discussions Li and I decided that if we really wanted to move into our new house right after the tour we needed to start looking now. So instead of going back on tour with them as planned, I'm going to be house hunting and sending Liam pictures. This isn't the ideal situation, but we will make it work, it's only for two months anyways. But unfortunately that means I'm back at my apartment...I haven't been there since I found out I couldn't have kids and I didn't want to go back. Liam's mom said I could stay there, but I needed to start packing anyways and even though they are my second family as it is, I don't want to intrude.
I've seen a few houses so far, but nothing has really felt, I don't know, right. I'm looking at another one today, and from the pictures it looks like this may be the one. I sent liam the pictures from the website and he said he thought it was beautiful. He texts me as often as he can and skypes me every night, but I miss him like crazy and I haven't gotten hardly any sleep since he left.
I get in my truck and drive to the house, it's in a beautiful neighborhood and there is a park right across the street from it. I pull up and the house is stunning, even better than in the pictures, it's a crisp clean white, has a wrap around porch with a porch swing, and just screams charm. We walk in and my mouth drops,it's absolutely stunning. It has light wood floors throughout the house, large rounded archways, crayon molding, and just little details that make it feel like a home.
The living room is really cozy, it has a stone fireplace, built in shelving that holds the tv and I can see all our pictures and Liam's Xbox and how everything would fit. The walls are a soft mint color and I just love it so far.
The kitchen is even better, it's huge with double ovens, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, and a walk in pantry. The refrigerator is one of those that is hidden in the cabinets and has a island in the middle, this is perfect. I may have to paint it and add a backsplash but that's all I can see that needs changing.
The master bedroom is downstairs and it's gaint, there are two walk in closets, another set of built-ins where out tv can go, and an amazing ensuite. The ensuite is like paradise, it's a deep maroon color with white subway tiles, it has one of those bear claw bathtubs that I love and adds charm, and it's big enough for two people. It also has a nice and big shower, there is his and her sinks and the toilet is closed off from the rest of the bathroom.
There is also an office downstairs, a powder room, coat closet, and a laundry room. Upstairs is just as nice, there is five bedrooms that are all rather big, perfect for family and the boys; along with two bathrooms and a game room. Everywhere there is built ins and little old fashioned things that add charm to this house and make it feel like such a home. The backyard is huge, and I could see us putting a pool in.
So really all I could see changing is a few paint colors, adding a pool, and maybe putting those nice heated tiles into the bathroom. I take a million pictures and send them to Liam along with a message saying "I think this is the one".
He about four hours later here calls me on skype "hello baby" he says when I answer.
"Hey Li, did you see the pictures I sent you?" I ask him praying he liked it.
"Yeah, I just saw them actually babe, the house is stunning, I could see us having a future there, I really could" he says and smiles at me.
"Me too, of course id paint some and maybe add heated tile in the bathroom, what do you think about a pool?" I ask him
"All those changes sound perfect, and a pool would be great, so did you make an offer?" He asks me
"No, I didn't want to do it without your approval, and it's kinda like really expensive...." I say softly
"Babe, don't worry about the price, how about you send me the realtors info and I'll handle it?"
"Liam, you already have enough to handle, I can't ask you to do that" I say and sigh
"You're not asking me to, I'm telling you that I want to handle it, please babe?" He asks "you already do so much"
"Okay okay, I'll text you the info, but make sure you check London times before you call, because it's 2:30 in the morning right now...."
"Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry, go to sleep" Liam says with apologetic eyes
"No worries babe, I was up I can't sleep" I sigh
"Why not baby?" He asks me concerned
"I miss you" I say softly
"I miss you too love...I have an idea, go lay down" he tells me and I comply, I carry the laptop to my bed and get under the covers. I turn a pillow vertically so I can pretend it's liam and cuddle it. "Now close your eyes okay?" He says softly and I do as I'm told.
He starts to sing to me, I swear he is so perfect. And sure enough I end up falling asleep on him. And of course, the next day I see I'm tagged in a post on Twitter
@Real_Liam_Payne: someone is sleepy, caught bae slipping on me last night on Skype. It's okay though, she's cute when she sleeps @SavSmith
And he attaches a picture of me asleep from last night, I'll get him back for this.
I miss liam, it's only been a week, but it's the knowing that I won't see him for two months that kills me, I got so used to being with him everyday and now im alone in my depressing apartment with nobody to cuddle me and tell me it'll be okay..cause this place brings back a lot of bad memories...
Liam calls me the next day at around noon "Ello sweetheart how are you?" He asks me, his voice is so perfect and soothing, it helps me relax
"Alright I guess...just ready for these two months to be up and to be out of this hell hole" I say softly "I miss you" I add
"I know love, I miss you too, more than you know. But hey, I might be able to cheer you up!" He says I'm his perky way "guess what baby?"
"What?" I ask with a laugh
"You and I are now officially home owners! They faxed me the paperwork and everything is all set, the realtor will bring you the keys in about an hour!" He says his voice full of excitement
"Wait....so...so we got the house!?" I ask him, I'm jumping up and down from excitement
"Yeah baby, and I made sure to sneak my credit card into your wallet so you could go furniture shopping, you can pick out anything you want" he says and I can tell he's just as excited as I am.
"But I want you to have a say too, I'll probably send you pictures of the furniture and paint swabs" I say with a smile
"Orrrrr.....I have this weekend off if you wanna wait, I can maybe fly out there and help you pick stuff out and paint?" He suggests
"Really?! You could come home?!" I ask full of excitement
"It'll only be for Saturday and Sunday, but yeah I can come home" he says and I can tell he's smiling "but at least get the basics done, like get a bed and some supplies like food and basics okay? That way we can sleep in our new house and you can get out of your apartment sooner, I hope you've been packing" he says
"Of course I will, I'll get it all today, maybe I'll call up some friends to help me move our stuff, do you want me to pack up your stuff for you?"
"Umm, just the clothes maybe, and my Xbox, not sure what else I really need from over there" he says and I can't stop smiling
"Okay, I'm on it, I'll have everything done by Friday so it's ready for you on Saturday" I say with a smile "do you want to keep my couches? Or get new ones" I ask him
"Do you want to keep them?" He asks
"Not really...I want everything in this house to be ours, I don't want to make it my house or your house, I want it to be our house" I say, gosh I love calling it our house.
"Then we can pick some out while I'm home, I can't wait baby, three more days and I'll be home" he says and smiles "it's hard to sleep without you" he adds
"It really is, I got so used to you being here...or being with you....and now you're gone...." I say softly looking at the ground
"I know babe, but hey, this will be over soon and then we have a break for a while. Hey baby I'm sorry, but I have to go we have to do sound check, I love you!"
"Love you too Liam" I say softly, I wish he didn't have to leave but I know he can't help it, but hey, we got the house!
I'm so excited, I immediately go to his house and start packing him up, he only has clothes and video games so he won't take long.
I pack up all his stuff into boxes with the help of his mom and load them into my truck, I then meet the realtor for lunch and she gives me the keys to our new house. I make copies for liam, me, the boys, and our parents because you never know what could happen.
After that I go to my house and start packing my stuff into boxes, since I already have an apartment I have more stuff to go through. I get so carried away and excited that I work until 3:00 in the morning, I pack up my kitchen, the living room, and most of my bedroom.
All I had left was clothes, toiletries, and my tv, but that can be done tomorrow. Usually liam always sends me a goodnight text, even if it's at four in the morning....but I still haven't gotten one, maybe he will message me later?
As I crawl into bed I decide to check Twitter...liam has been posting since four hours ago.....so he can tweet but he can't text me?
@Real_Liam_Payne: guess who is officially a homeowner!
@Real_Liam_Payne: it's a chill and do nothing kinda night, anyone else agree?
@Real_Liam_Payne: I miss my princess @SavSmith, time differences suck.
He tweeted that last one like ten minutes ago, I decide to surprise him and tweet him back
@SavSmith: @Real_Liam_Payne then get off Twitter and call me you goofball<3
Within two minutes I'm getting a Skype call, we talk until he falls asleep on me and then I decide to hit the hay, I'm going to start moving stuff in tomorrow and all our friends are busy so I'll be on my own I guess. Right before liam fell asleep he tweeted
@Real_Liam_Payne: I'm the luckiest guy in the world, I'm living my dream and in love with the girl of my dreams. I'd say life is good, goodnight everyone(:
He's so cute I swear, ugh I know it's only been a week, but I don't miss him any less. Since he posted a picture of me sleeping the other night why don't I get him back? I take a screenshot and post it on Twitter
@SavSmith: now look who's slipping @Real_Liam_Payne, haha I love you babe<3.
After I post it I decide to try and get some sleep, it takes a while but I finally manage to get some shut eye.
I wake up early the next morning, I load all the boxes into my truck and get about half of them in, so I take a trip to the house, drop them off, and make a second trip.
I unpack the kitchen, well what I'm keeping of my kitchen, just the pots, pans, mixing bowls, spatulas, all that stuff for cooking. The plates and silver wear liam and I could pick out together. I then unload our clothes into the closet, except for the things that need to go into drawers, we will have to buy a dresser so until then they stay in the suitcase for now. I then start unloading the electronics and some pictures, we need to take some newer ones soon though.
Finally I realize I never ate breakfast and it was already 2pm. I was going to order in but then I realized I have nothing to eat on, I should probably go shopping for a bed when I finish so I have something to sleep on, because my bed belongs to my apartment.
I drive down to a diner and am eating when liam calls me "hey baby, how are you?" I ask him
"Umm....I've been better..." He says and I can tell something is wrong.
"What's wrong?" I ask him getting kinda nervous
"...please don't hate me...but I won't be able to make it this weekend" he says softly and I sigh
"...oh..." I all I say
"I'm so sorry babe, they scheduled a photo shoot and an interview last minute, you know I would be there if I could" he says
"It's okay" I say softly, I'm not heart broken, just really sad...I had my hopes up and now it screwed me over....
"But it's not, I feel terrible, are you mad?" He asks me nervously
"No....just disappointed I guess" I say softly
"Disappointed is even worse... I'll make it up to you I swear!" He says and I sigh
"I don't care about you making it up to me....I care about you helping pick out furniture...." I say and sigh again
"I know baby, but you can always send me pictures, you know what I like" he says and I can tell he feels really bad about everything
"Well if you come home and you don't like the furniture because you didn't answer my messages then that's your fault" I say
"I know baby, have you talked to the pool of flooring people?" He asks
"No, all I've done is pack and unpack some stuff, I wish you could be here..how are we going to pick out plates and silver wear? Or paint colors? What if you hate what I pick?"
"Don't worry babe I trust your judgement, thank you for all you're doing babe I know it's a lot, I love you so much you know that?" He says
"Yeah, I guess I love you too" I say jokingly "well, I should probably go, gotta get us a bed and call the floor and pool people, I'll text you pictures of things I find" I say softly
"Okay babe, I love love love you" he says
"Love you" I say softly and we hang up. Okay I'm really dissipated, I was so looking forward to shopping for our new home together and now I'm on my own. Yay.
Notes
Hello everyone! I hope all of y'all are having a great week! I hope y'all like this chapter. Please let me know what y'all think, thank you all so much for taking time out of your day to read my story<3
I'm new to this and I must say its hard for me to find fan fiction I actually enjoy. I am really enjoying this and quite looking forward to more. I have to admit if the guy I'm dating went to see his ex and then lie to me about it well some serious groveling would be in order plus he'd be on the couch for awhile. Seriously though you're a really great writer update soon please.
