No Control (Liam Payne)

Chapter 48

On our final full day together before I leave for Paris, Liam and I spend every moment we can together. We start with breakfast in bed, followed by a long shower together. The way Liam looks at me with his perfect dark eyes as he has me up against the cold tile, takes my breath away. I gasp as we become one. He whispers in my ear "I will think of this moment often while you are away."

I kiss him gently, then our passion takes over.

Later that day, Liam tells me he found a park and wants us to go for a walk. I agree, having no idea that this will be no simple walk in the park.

It does start off like a usual walk. Liam and I hold hands and take in the beautiful scenery. It's the perfect day to be outside. We take our time strolling through the park, stopping occasionally to sit on a bench. After being there for awhile, Liam leads me to a lovely grassy area with lots of trees surrounding it. As we come around a corner, I see a blanket spread out on the ground, set up with a full picnic lunch. I look at Liam, he just grins. "Have I ever told you how much I love your surprises?" I ask him.

"Maybe once or twice." He winks. Taking my hand, he leads me to the blanket.

We have a wonderful lunch that reminds me of our time in Italy. Bread, cheese, and wine.

Liam and I lay on the blanket looking up at the beautiful sky, his arm wrapped around me. I turn towards him, my hand on his hard stomach. "Thank you, Liam, this was an amazing surprise."

"Oh I'm not done yet, Love." He smiles, motioning for me to sit up. As I do he reaches in his pocket, pulling out what appears to be a ring box. My heart skips a beat...or two.

"This is for you, my love. I want you to always be able to look down at your beautiful hand and be reminded of how much I love you. Whether I'm right beside you or miles away." Liam kisses me and hands me the box.

I smile, and with trembling hands open it. My breath catches. "Oh Liam, it's perfect."

Inside is a beautiful ring with two stones side by side. One a flawless clear diamond, my birthstone, and the other a perfect light green stone, Liam's birthstone.

"I love it, Liam. I couldn't have picked anything more perfect. Thank you." I lean over and kiss him.

When I take the ring out of the box and start to put it on my right hand, Liam stops me.

"Let's put it on this one, shall we?" He says as he takes the ring, putting it on my left ring finger.

I look at him shocked. "Liam?"

He grins. "It's not an engagement ring, Love. I think we both agree we are too young for that. However, I would like you to wear it on your left hand to hold my spot, so to speak."

I put my hands along side his face. "I will happily hold that spot for you." Then I kiss him. At that moment I have more love for him in my heart than ever. I didn't think that was possible.

I whisper in his ear. "You better take me back to the hotel now so I can properly thank you for this beautiful ring."
