You Say I Light Up Your World (Liam Payne Love Story)-3-

"Where are you going?" I mumbled into my pillow. I had arrived late last night to Liam's apartment, only to find that he was having a sleepover with the other Boys and Audrey. Liam sat at the edge of the bed trying his shoes and looked over his shoulder.

"I was thinking about going for a run with Audrey." My eyes flew open and I stared at his back for a while. "Why don't you stay here with me instead? It's been a while since we just laid in bed."

I could care less how long it'd been since I last had time with Liam, but I was really trying to tie the knot with him. 2 years, 2 years I've been with him and not once has he hinted at the thought of marriage. Of course when we first started dating, we always joked around at the thought, and I think he seriously did mean it, but now that Audrey came along, she was a delay in my plans.

"Oh well, if you want me to," he said taking off his shoes. I wrapped my arms around his waist from behind and kissed his neck.

"Yes I want you to, you know what else I want?" I whispered. He swallowed his thoat and grinned. "No, what?"

I pushed him on the bed and attacked him with kisses. They were rushed and passionate (or at least I tried to pretend that I was passionate). He responded to my kisses with urgency and I realized how much he probably missed them. Well as soon as we got married, this would probably be the last time we ever make-out because I didn't want to be near him...just his money.

"Liam?" Niall knocked on our bedroom door. He pulled away reluctantly and looked at the door. "Yeah?"

"Um, are you still gonna go for a run?" Liam looked at me hesitantly and I shook my head. I enveloped him in another sloppy kiss and he went along.

"Liam?" Niall persisted. I groaned and threw a pillow at the door. "We're busy Niall!" I shouted. Liam chuckled and grabbed both sides of my face. We kissed and kissed, until things got a little heated, and soon he had his shirt off.

"This is a lot better than a run," he muttered into my skin and bit my ear. "Yeah...definitely," I said rolling my eyes. "Hey Babe, I'm going to try and cancel this week's plans so that we can spend more time, you know? I feel like we need to start over."

Liam looked up at me and grinned. "That'd be amazing, I actually had a few plans with Audrey, and I've got music to worry about-" I attached my lips to his to get him to shut up about everything.

"You don't have any plans for this week either, is that clear?" I said quirking an eyebrow. He nodded his head and kissed my forehead

"Crystal clear," he said winking at me.

Audrey's POV
I sat in a pair of basketball shorts Niall lent me and wore Harry's infamous purple Jack Wills hoodie. I had gotten up like Liam said we were to meet, but didn't know what was taking him so long. Niall emerged from the bedroom hallway and frowned.

"You're not going to be going anywhere today..." He trailed off. I looked at him oddly and bit my lip. "Oh okay. That's fine. I probably should go home and do some studying."

Niall laughed and gave me a hug. "You're always studying, when are you going to graduate already?!" I laughed but then turned slightly solemn.

"I'm not always studying, you guys are very distracting. And I don't know when I'll graduate because it depends..." Niall pulled back and frowned. "What are you talking about?"

I stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth. "Well you see...I came to study here from a study abroad program at my old school, and usually they range from weeks to even years, so technically, I've been here for almost a year..." I looked up at Niall hesitantly and see if he would understand the picture.

"So you're going to have to go back to the States?" He spat out angrily. I nodded my head and sighed. "It's the rules, and if I could, I'd stay here forever." He shot up from the sofa and grabbed both sides of my shoulder.

"And when did you plan on telling us this? Or were you going to hide it?" I shook my head and got scared by his anger.

"I didn't know when. I figured that as soon as my time was up I'd just...leave. I couldn't bear the thought of saying goodbye to you all. I was going to treat the situation like a band-aid: just rip it and get it over with. It would've been much easier to do so." Niall jutted his bottom lip out and clenched his jaw. He let go of me and afterwards enveloped me in a hug.

"I'm going to miss you," he mumbled. I stood there awkwardly and patted him. "I'm not leaving yet. I've still got a few months, so don't be a cry baby." I pulled him away from me and pinched his cheeks. He laughed and sighed.

"You're right, and I'm sorry, but we're going to have to break the news to the others." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Niall I can't do that you freaked out on me when I told you I was leaving, imagine the others? I'd rather if you only knew, and maybe Matilda, and keep it a secret between us, okay?"

Niall shook his head and ran a hand through his perfect blonde hair. "I dunno Audrey, they're my friends too."

"Come on Niall,please? I've never asked you for anything, just do this one thing for me." After giving him my best puppy dog eyes, he eventually agreed to keep it a secret.

"Thank you so much, now we really have to go home. Love you Nialler." I grabbed Shay's leash and walked with her out the door, with Niall in tow. "So we'll see each other whenever you don't have any plans?" I nodded my head and we walked to Zayn's car.

"Yeah, and whenever you don't have plans." He laughed and sat in the driver's seat. "Okay, maybe we can do something out of the ordinary with the Others." I nodded my head and closed the passenger door, leaving the window cracked for Shay.

"Everything seems out of the ordinary around you Boys," I said laughing.
