Summer Love ~ L.P.
Chapter 4
Jessalyn’s POV
We got to the hotel a few minutes later. By this time, Liam has drawn butterflies around all my scars.
“Liam, can I sleep with you?” I asked as we went to our rooms.
“Sure, but no sex. You’re only seventeen!” Liam said.
“That’s fine. I just need someone to protect me.”
Liam put the key in the door and opened it. Then, when we were ready, we both climbed into bed, and Liam wrapped his muscular arms around me.

The next morning, I woke up to a text from Andy. It was from two hours ago.
A: Jess, you better hide. Aaron’s coming to get you!
J: That’s silly! He’d have to have a passport.
A: He just applied for one. He’s gonna find out where you are and beat you up.
“Oh, shit…” I muttered.
“What’s wrong, Jess?” Liam asked.
“I just got a text from one of my friends. My ex is coming to get me.”
“That’s rubbish! He’ll need a passport!”
“She says he just applied for one. I’m screwed!”
“No, you’re not. You know how I used to wrestle in high school?”
“Yeah, because you were being bullied.”
“Well, I’ve still got the moves, so if he ever lays a finger on you, the next woman your ex will see is the nurse in the ER.”
“Nice try, but he’s way bigger than you. He’s a 250-pound linebacker, all muscle.”
“Well, I could try.”
“Yeah, you could.”
“Wanna go out with me?”
“Oh, my God, sure!” I said enthusiastically.
“Brilliant! I saw a café on the way here that looks good. We could go there for lunch. Then, we could come back and watch ‘Frozen’.”
“Okay!” I couldn’t believe Liam James Payne just asked me out! Sure, it was out of the blue, but still!
At lunchtime, Liam and I took a cab to the café he was talking about. Of course, the cab driver recognized Liam and asked if I was his girlfriend.
Liam laughed. “Oh, no. Well, at least not yet. She won our contest to go on tour with us.”
“Oh, yeah. Jessica, right?”
“Jessalyn,” I corrected.
We pulled up to the café, and Liam paid the driver and helped me get out.
As soon as we stepped outside the cab, we were mobbed by more people asking if I was Liam’s girlfriend. Liam just repeated what he told the cab driver.
“Then why are you holding hands?” one of them asked.
I looked down and saw that Liam was actually holding my hand! “U-um…” I stuttered, blushing and giggling nervously.
After a few minutes, they finally left us be, and we went inside.

After lunch, Liam and I took another cab back to the hotel to watch “Frozen”. The hotel had a copy of it, so we picked it up, paid, and took it to our room. Liam put it in the DVD player, and for the next two hours, he had his arm around me while we watched it. At the end of it, we kissed.
