Molly’s POV

“How about this?” Chloe held up a nice, but tight dress.

I’d invited Chloe and Eleanor to come shopping with me; they’d agreed, saying they’d find the perfect dress to show Liam what he could have missed. Liam was picking me up at five for our date, so the three of us went shopping at eleven, giving us three hours to find the perfect dress, shoes and accessories; then we have three house for me to get ready, Eleanor said she’d do my make-up and Chloe’s going to do my hair. We’d been in the shopping centre for two hours already, sorting through things- I was beginning to lose hope.

“No,” I shook my head, “I don’t want to look like a slag.”

“True,” She nodded and put it back.

“How about this?” I held up a shirt and jeans.

“Looks to casual,” Eleanor commented.

“True,” I nodded and put the items back.

“How about this one?” Eleanor held a beautiful dress up. It was simple, not too classy, after all it was only a date; I wasn’t walking down the red carpet. It had a black top part, where my breasts were, then it had a white flowing pleated material. It had a broach on the left side where the black went into the white.

“It’s perfect,” I grinned and took it off her. And it wasn’t that expensive either. I paid for it as well as some black sandal high heels. Liam wanted to pay for the dress and shoes, but I refused to let him- he tried to force the money on me but I ran out the apartment screaming; his face was hilarious. Eleanor and Chloe had met me at the mall.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“How do you want it?” Chloe asked me as I sat in front of the mirror in Liam’s room. Chloe and Eleanor had kicked him out his apartment so I could get ready; he’s now getting ready in Zayn’s apartment. I had an hour and a half to get ready.

“Erm, how about a fish tail plait down the right side, leaving a bit of my fringe down to frame my face?” I suggested staring at my reflection and then I glanced at Chloe. She had her thinking face on, like she was imagining the hair-do on me.

“Sounds perfect,” She grinned after a moment. I felt her slowly brush the very few knots out my hair and then she carefully pulled at it until I had one perfect side fish tail plait resting gently below my shoulder.  She then got out the straighteners and curled the little bit of fringe left dangling in front of my face. She pinned it back a little so it would frame my face and dangle in front of my eye.  She sprayed my hair with hair spray for like five minutes. Okay, so a little exaggeration. But afterwards I couldn’t move my face, and I found it hard to breath with the toxic fumes in the air.

“Chloe, what the hell?” I gasped, coughing and wafting my hand around my face.

“I just wanted to make sure, your hair stayed perfect when you and Liam have sexy time after your date,” Chloe winked.

“’Sexy time’,” I laughed, “How old are you?”

“Shut up,” She laughed and nudged me.

“Shat ap!” I tried doing my best stereotypical Essex accent.

“That was terrible,” Chloe laughed harder.

“I thought it was pretty good,” I huffed.

“Are you deaf?” Chloe raised an eyebrow.

“No, my ears are very capable of hearing,” I said in a posh voice.

“Honey I’m home!” El shouted entering the room, “What is that toxic smell?” She wafted her hand around her face, coughing. I guess the hair spray was still in the air.

“Chloe got a little too happy with the hair spray,” I shot a glare a Chloe, who grinned sheepishly.

“Right, well, Chloe can I have a word?” Eleanor asked and Chloe left the room with El for a while then only El returned.

“Where’s Chloe?” I asked.

“I just sent her on an errand,” She shrugged, “Now for your make-up,” She added before I could ask any more questions about Chloe. All I could do was ponder in my brain. I wonder what Liam has planned for tonight? Probably a dinner in a restaurant and then come back here for a DVD or something. Like, something really simple; nothing big- I’m mean, I’m only me, and it’s not our first date or anything.

“I’m done, you can look now,” El smiled about half an hour later of her prodding my face. I looked at myself in the mirror. This is usually the part in stories when they say ‘I looked in the mirror and saw the most beautiful girl staring back at me, I wondered who she was,’ It’s you! It’s a mirror it REFLECTS the image! You are the girl in the mirror! ‘I reached out to touch her but saw the girl reach towards me too. I gasped, the girl in the mirror was me,’ No, really? Have a sticker, you smart child. NO! You absolute retard! Of course it was you! Geez. Some people. If you ever write a story, never, NEVER write anything like that. It’s a load of bull.

“What do you think?” Eleanor asked a little nervous.

“It’s amazing,” I smiled; she’d given me a natural look, so I didn’t look like a tangerine. But I had a summery glow about me. She applied a light foundation, and some bronzer to give me a little glow; and she’d put a light pink lip gloss on, so it wasn’t too bright and over-whelming, like some people have bright red. She’d also given my eyelashes a coat of mascara to lengthen them, as well as black eye liner, making my eyes stand out- also, she’d applied a light golden brown eye shadow, making my stand out even more. My eyes had a happy twinkle about them; probably because I was excited for tonight. It’s been a rough few weeks; I think Liam and I deserve some slack. A night of fun.

“You’ve got about twenty minutes before Liam gets here; you need to slip on your dress, and shoes, add the jewellery, perfume, brush your teeth- don’t want bad breath for Liam do you,” El winked and I laughed.

“Yes ma’am,” I saluted and stood up.

“I’ll stand out whilst you slip the dress on,” El smiled and left the room. I quickly but carefully slipped into the dress.

“El, can you zip up the dress for me?” I shouted.

“Sure,” She smiled and walked in. I held my hair out the way whilst she zipped it up.

“Do you want me to get your shoes?” She asked.

“Yeah, they're on the bed, still in the bag,” I explained as I put on my silver necklace and matching bracelet; I teamed them with little pearl ear rings. I then sprayed myself with my favourite perfume and Eleanor handed me my shoes.

“I might put them on last, because I don’t want to twist an ankle before he’s even arrived,” I sighed, remembering how clumsy I can be.

“True,” El nodded seriously. We then looked at each other and burst out laughing.

“What’s going on here?” Chloe and Jeremy walked in.

“Jer!” I grinned and hugged him tightly, careful not to ruin Chloe and Eleanor’s artwork.

“Hey sis, you look amazing… are you sure about this?” He asked nervously.

“I’m as sure about Liam as you are about El,” I said seriously and he nodded before cracking a smile.

“Good,” He hugged me once more.

“We best get off now,” El said.

“Yeah, have a great night Molly,” Chloe hugged me tightly and walked out the door.

“Be good,” Jer smirked and waved before walking out the door after Chloe.

“El?” I asked as she shut the door of Liam’s bedroom and turned to face me.

“How come you didn’t invite the other girls here today?” She asked, twiddling her sleeve nervously.

“I just needed some space without them, I guess. I just felt I needed to mix with some other people; and I really do want to get to know you and Chloe better. So it just seemed an appropriate time to do that,” I explained.

“Oh, okay, I just wanted to make sure you were cool with them,” She smiled and hugged me.

“El, you coming?” Jer shouted from outside.

“Coming,” She laughed, “Bye Molly, have a great night.”

I sighed once I was on my own and sat on the bed; just taking a moment to breath, I’d been rushing around and getting ready pretty much all day. I then forced myself off the comfy bed and cleaned my teeth. I heard a knock at the door and laughed to myself. Liam just knocked on his own door. I opened the door still laughing, after checking myself once more in the mirror.

“What are you laughing at?” He chuckled himself.

“You just knocked on your own door,” I gasped, trying to calm myself down. My stomach ached.

“Oh,” He laughed too. “You look beautiful by the way Molly,” He smiled and kissed my cheek. It was strange how even after eight months of being together he still managed to make me blush with such a simple compliment.

“It’s nice to see I still have that effect on you,” He winked making me blush deeper.

“Can we just go before I turn in to a human tomato?” I muttered.

“Sure love,” He chuckled and took my hand.

“Where are we going?” I asked as we climbed in to a car and the driver started up the car and backed out the drive way.

“Ah, that my lovely girlfriend it's a secret,” He winked again.

“I don’t have to put a blind fold on do I?” I begged.

“No, don’t want to ruin Chloe’s masterpiece,” He chuckled.

“She put enough hair spray on it so it’ll stay this way for the next year,” I laughed, “How did you know she did my hair?”

“She told me,” He shrugged.

“Did you see her today? Is that where she went?” I asked; maybe Chloe and El were helping Liam set up the date.

“Maybe…” He chuckled.

“Liam,” I turned to face him; which was hard considering we were in a car.

“Yes,” He turned to face me too, taking my hands in his.

“I’m so happy you changed your mind… I don’t know what I’d do without you-“ He cut me off.

“Molly,” He smiled.

“No, Liam please, let me finish,” I pleaded and he just nodded, “As I was saying, I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you; when you thought I cheated on you, I have never felt so much pain in my life- not even when I broke my arm when I was ten. It was like my whole world collapsed and I was left alone; honestly, I felt like I’d died. And when you came in to the flat, I thought I was dreaming; I probably still am. But if this is a dream; I don’t ever want it to end, because I’ll be left with my boring old life… without you. I need you Liam, as lame as that sounds and I’ve probably put you right off. But I need you and I love you so much,” I had to look away from Liam at the end as I blushed and felt utter embarrassment to what I had just said.

“Molly,” Liam started but I cut him off.

“What have I done?” I muttered, and began rambling to myself, “I can’t believe I just said that. That is so embarrassing. Oh my Hod, now he’s going to think I’m some clingy, loved up, weirdo girlfriend. He’s going to hate me. He doesn’t feel the same and now I’ve embarrassed myself. I might as well curl up under a rock and sing The Lion King to myself.”

“The Lion King?” Liam laughed.

“Yes, Iguana, Penguin and a Llama,” I sang to the song ‘The Circle Of Life’.

“Molly,” Liam tried again.

“Oh, great Molly, you just start singing The Lion King, way to look cool; why do you always embarrass yourself? Why are you so stupid and socially retarded?”

“Molly, listen to me,” Liam demanded, making me look at him, by gently turning my head with his fingers, “I love you Molly, more than anything in the world. I couldn’t bear to lose you again Molly,” He kissed me and then added, “And I think it’s cute that you’re socially retarded.”

“Gee, thanks. You’re not meant to agree with me Liam. Don’t you know how to make a girl feel good,” I said sarcastically.

“Aw, I’m sorry Molly Wolly,” He laughed and kissed me again.

“How far away is this date?” I asked looking out the window.

“We’re nearly there,” He chuckled.

“I’m an impatient girl,” I threw a smile at Liam over my shoulder before resuming position, where I had my face pressed against the glass, looking for all and every clue to where we were, and where we were going.

“We’re here,” Liam laughed as we pulled up in a field.

“Where is… here?” I asked climbing out the car. There was literally nothing here, we were in the middle of a field.

“Here,” Liam shrugged.

“Yay, I’ve always wanted a date in a field of nothing,” I said as enthusiastically as I could, but I was actually pretty disappointed, “Are any cows going to be joining us?”

“Probably not,” He laughed.

“Shame,” I muttered, secretly pleased. I was trying my hardest to sound happy but I’m not really a field sort of girl to be honest. I’m not really in the best clothes to sit on grass and mud.

“Molly,” Liam smiled and I looked over to him, from where I was trying to hide my frown as I looked at the muddy grass below my feet.

“This isn’t where we’re having our date,” He chuckled.

“What?” I looked up at him in relief.

“As much as I can see you love it here,” He smirked and I grinned sheepishly, “We’ve got to walk a little first.”

“Okay,” I smiled and took his hand, “Which way my good sir?”

“This way my fine lady,” He winked and gestured to the left. We set off walking across the field over to the left, where there were a set of trees. All the while we made easy conversation. And if when we weren’t talking Liam would be singing quietly, probably thinking I couldn’t hear; but I stayed silent, listening to his amazing voice. I loved it when Liam sang, he seemed so happy and at peace with everything. Even when he was under so much stress, or his emotions where going wild, he could literally sing his worries away. Liam stopped walking at the edge of the line of trees.

“Are we here?” I asked looking around.

“Nope,” He chuckled.

“So why have we stopped?” I asked. Suddenly my vision went black and I squealed slightly. “Liam! You could have warned me! You know I hate it when you do that,” I sighed, holding tightly to Liam’s arms, trying to steady myself.

“Sorry,” He kissed my temple.

“You are so lucky I trust you Liam, else I’d be screaming ‘rape’ by now,” I giggled as we started walking again. Well, Liam started walking and trying to guide me; whilst I stumbled blindly in his hold.

“I’d never let anything happen to you,” He whispered and a smile tugged on my lips.

“I know,” I whispered back, smiling.

“We’re here,” Liam announced as he stopped walking, “Three… Two… One…”

He took his hands from my eyes and I gasped at the pure beauty of what was in front of me. We were in some sort of park. There was a beautiful lake glistening in the moon light, little ducklings and their mothers sleeping under the nearby bushes. The odd hoot of an owl in the distance. The smell of freshly cut grass and the nights cool air. But the thing that I was most in awe of was the gorgeous white band stand that stood in front of us. It had been decorated with white fairy lights; that hung loosely on the outer frame. A red blanket had been spread across the wooden floor, accompanied by an elegant, black, small table and two chairs. On the table were two silver platters with silver lids on, keeping in the heat so the food didn’t go cold; also a small vase full of beautiful red roses, as well as a red candle burning brightly. Around the edge of the band stand on the banister were many red candles, all of them burning just as brightly as the one on the table, but these ones were smaller. It was truly amazing.

“Do you like it?” He asked nervously; leading me up the steps.

“I love it,” I smiled at him.

“Are you sure because-“ He started but I cut him off.

“Liam, it’s perfect,” I laughed lightly, and kissed him.

“Are you sure?” He whispered still fretting.

“Yes! Liam! Yes! It’s amazing!” I laughed and he joined in too.

“Okay,” He smiled and pulled out a seat for me, I thanked him and sat down, he then took his seat too.

“So, what’s for dinner?” I asked warily; Liam isn’t the best in the kitchen…

“Don’t worry, Chloe cooked it for me,” He smiled sheepishly and I laughed.

“Okay, so what is it?” I asked and he lifted the lid on my platter.

“Lasagne and chips,” He winked. Aw, he remembered my favourite food.

“Yay,” I clapped my hands happily and then picked up my cutlery and dug in. It was like heaven. It was so delicious. Mental note: Thank Chloe, then make her cook me some more of this. I won’t bore you with all our conversations during dinner. The food was very tasty- as I already mentioned- and the conversation was full of laughs. It was perfect- well as perfect as it could be.

“Molly,” Liam whispered as I snuggled up to his chest; we were now sat on the floor, cuddled up together.

“Hmm,” I looked up at him.

“I had a great night,” He smiled.

“Is this your way of saying, ‘hey Molly, we’re not having sex tonight?’” I laughed.

“Well, we’ll just have to see where we end up, aye,” He chuckled.

“Aye indeed,” I smiled and kissed him.

“You want to head back now?” Liam asked as I shivered from the cold and snuggled closer, trying to steal his body heat.

“If you don’t mind… I’m a little cold, but I do love it here,” I smiled fondly, looking around.

“Here,” He shrugged off his dinner jacket and I slipped it on.

“That was cheesy,” I giggled and he laughed.

“What can I say? I’m a man and I know how to make a woman feel loved,” He winked and I blushed. He kissed me passionately, and I twisted so I was now sat on Liam, with my legs either side of his waist. I allowed him access and he deepened the kiss. I felt his hands rub against my legs and then slip up my dress. My hands tangled in Liam’s hair and I pressed my body closer to his. I suddenly remembered where we were and I pulled away, Liam looked a little confused as to why I had. Believe me, I was enjoying that and was very reluctant to pull away, but I knew I had to.

“Maybe we should wait to get back to the apartment before we unleash your manly side,” I smiled a little out of breath; I stood up, pulling down my dress and making myself look more presentable.

“Right,” He blushed and stood up too, doing the same as me.

“Do we need to pack this up?” I asked.

“No, it’s fine,” Liam smiled and took my hand, leading the way back to the car. I wonder how it’s going to get cleaned up; maybe he paid someone to tidy it away after? Maybe he asked Chloe and El to do it? Or one of the boys? Oh well, at least we don’t have to do it.

We climbed into the car and the driver drove off out the field and down the road- I wonder what he did whilst we were having our date… Probably playing Temple Run, that’s a good game,and it keeps you occupied… I wonder what his high score is.

“She looking in my eyes, while she flicking her hair back,” The radio started playing Take You Down, by JLS.

I’m not a fan of JLS, I don’t like them or their music; neither does Mel, Sophia and Beth; but we know their songs because we can sometimes hear their CDs blasting out of Lauren’s room- much to our dismay. Lauren is a fan of JLS, or, as they call themselves, she’s a ‘JLSter’. So, I know one of their songs when it comes on the radio- and apparently so did Liam.

“Go lock me up, throw away the key, say, looking for my heart, couldn’t find it on Ebay,” Liam sang quietly along to the radio. The song was actually quite good coming from his mouth; as I said before, I love hearing him sing- even if it is to JLS.

“And let’s go at it, I’ll play the fanatic, girl I wanna take you out, and take you down,” Liam looked over to me and winked before he carried on singing, “Be my rockstar, chase you like a cop car, girl I wanna take you out, and take you down. Way-oh baby we can change roles, you can play my lover, I can play yours.”

I leaned into his body and listened as he continued to sing softly. I only just realised how knkiy the lyrics were as he sang them to me. And it made me more excited to get back to his house. What is wrong with me? I never used to be this kinky! I blame Sophia and Lauren. Sophia’s always talking about all things kinky. And Lauren’s always doing all things kinky.

 “… T-Take, take you down, down,” The song finished and I smiled up at Liam. When we got back to the apartment, we thanked the driver and then… well, as Chloe would put it… We had ‘sexy time’.
