Zayn's P.O.V

"Can I kiss you?" He asks softly grabbing my hand and squeezing it tightly. All my air leaves my body. Kiss him? Have him kiss me? Am I ready for that..?

I look around at the scenery, the wood floors with a small circle rug that we were currently sitting on.

"I..." I stop for a second and take a deep breath scanning his eyes for anything... Any feeling.

His brown eyes were incredibly warm and inviting which made my heart race even more. I swear Liam will be the death of me at this rate.

"Y-yes" I whisper and with that he pulls me into his lap one hand on my lower back and the other on my face.

I look down focusing on all the ink on his arms and little bits peeking out from his vneck.

He holds my chin so my eyes focus on his own, they are still soft and welcoming like before and then he starts to lean in.

I close my eyes immediately not moving until I feel a soft pair of lips meet my own. I wasn't sure how to feel but I know the butterflies in my stomach erupted into elephants.

I don't know what to do? Do I move my lips back do I just sit here? Liam pulls away and I open my eyes I'm sure my face looks like a tomato.

"Babe you're supposed to kiss back" he says chuckling softly.

I blush harder and duck my head in embarrassment. Of course. I should've known that.

I nod my head wrapping my arms around his neck still nervous before leaning in this time, eyes open. Kissing is weird, who even came up with this?

Liam's lips are back on my own but this time I try moving my lips as well just slower than him. He rocks his hips slightly the hand on my lower back sliding up to my ribs to grip me tighter. All of this is just so much. I'm the one to pull away leavin confusion on Liam's face as I back into the board wall of this little treehouse.

"Everything okay?" He asks a little out of breath he runs a hand through his slightly messed up hair.

"U-uh just u-uncomfortable" I admit rubbing my arms. His eyes soften even more if possible and he moves over to my side leaning against the wall as well.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable we can take it slow"

Who are you and what have you done with Liam? Just the other day he was telling me I was stuck up and now he's telling me to take my time!?

I smile still slightly uncomfortable.

"You know...I still don't know very much about you Zayn.." He trails of playing with his thumbs. I take a deep breath closing my eyes.

"W-well uh my parents are divorced, I like to dress like a g-girl, m-my favorite c-color is lavender, a-at my o-old school I w-was bullied r-really bad...t-thats why I t-transfered, and know i-i'm here and h-happy" I finish releases a large breath that I had been holding I turn my head to see Liam looking down frowning.

"I just cant see anyone wanting to cause you harm, kinda blows my mind" he confesses moving his hand up to lightly brush my cheek, The same old goosebumps appear and I blush but take control turning to drape my legs across his devoting my attention to him.

"What about you Leeyum?" I tease bopping his nose giggling slightly.

"Well, I have a little brother named Noah, my dad is in jail, has been for a while" he stops for a second which makes me reach out for his hand squeezing it tightly sort of amazed at how his hand doubles in size compared to my own. Liam smiles squeezing back.

"That's why I took you here, wanted to show you a place that means a lot to me. I don't want you think that your just another one of my pawns Zayn. I think so much higher of you" he confesses putting his large hand on my bony knee.

I lean forward grabbing the basket of food to find strawberries. Yum.

I grab one biting into it softly softly humming in approval. Liam coughs his face slightly red as his tongue sweeps across his bottom lip.

I giggle slightly offering him the other half but instead he grabs my wrist tugging me back onto his lap so he can steal more kisses.

I'm thrown into a fit of giggles as I try to pull away placing my hand on his toned chest.

"I'm trying to eat leeyummm" I whine impatiently but he only growls in response linking his arms around my waist pulling me closer. I can only smile and munch on my strawberry happy with my decision to come here.
