All Over Again (Liam Payne)

Chapter 23

Beth's P.O.V

I decided to wake up early today, I had enough time to finish packing my stuff and prepare a small breakfast for me and my mom, just toasted some bagels, some fruit and orange juice. Usually my mom is up before me, it's almost 8 o'clock in the morning and I'm the only one awake, even Cooper hasn't moved from his bed, it's saturday and I bet almost everyone is resting from a long week.

While I was sitting in one of the kitchen chairs my phone next to me lit up, I checked the screen and it's a new message.

'Good morning Beth, hope you have that beautiful smile on your face today, enjoy your day love xxx'

Oh my God, that is so cute! I need a moment to let that sink in.

He called me beautiful! We'll not exactly me but my smile! I feel like a thirteen years old girl with a crush. But let's face it, Liam has been my 'secret love' since I was eleven, since the day when he climbed up my window on a summer night, the day when he saw me crying because my grandpa passed away, he stayed till late with me until he was sure I was okay.

Eight years later and he's still the reason why my heart skips a beat every time I hear his name.

But going back to the text, I should reply.

'I'm smiling now, thanks Liam xx:)'

I stared at the screen for a while waiting for his reply, and two minutes later my phone lit up again

'Hey I didn't know you were already awake, usually you're up later' said his message

I typed again quickly,

'I know but today I woke up early so I finish packing, but why are you up so early too?'

I counted the minutes and almost three minutes later he replied back,

'Rehearsal and I like going to the gym early in the morning ;)' Just imagining Liam at the gym working out, geez that's too hot for my brain to handle.

'No wonder you're so fit now :)' I texted and pressed the send button.

A while later he replied

'You like it?;)' Oh hell yes I do!

'Maybe, I won't tell you :p' I replied

I felt a presence behind me, I turn my head and my mom was standing right behind me, I jumped surprise, God she is really quiet! I didn't notice when she walked down here,

"Mom you scared me" I said pressing my hand on my chest feeling my heart beating fast,

"Sorry, you looked really concentrated on your phone" she said smiling "Who are you talking with?" She asked?

I looked down my phone and I felt how my cheeks started blushing,

"Umm, it's Liam" I said hiding my face so she wouldn't notice me blushing,

"Yeah I can tell, that's why you're daydreaming already" she said laughing pouring some coffee in her mug,

"Pfft, what? No mom..." I said trying to lie, but off course she is the woman who gave birth to me and I can't fool her, she stared at me and raised one eyebrow,

"Mmmh, Bethany I know you like Liam since you had like ten or nine years old" Dammit she knows me so well,

"Actually since I was eleven" I corrected her, any way she had to know it and obviously I haven't done a good job trying to hide the truth from her,

"Aww I always knew it" she said taking a plate and some bagels "So tell me, did you guys kissed during the trip?" -I wish- she take a seat in front on me now paying closer attention,
