~Ali's POV~

I just sat in my window staring into nothing, my mind completely blanking as I let the tears fall down my face. I watched niall walk out of his house and get into a cab but I didn't register it in my mind. I was too busy missing home, thinking about my mom. Was she ok? Is Chase alright? Is she holding up with everything fine? She relied on me so much when I lived home but now that I'm not there I worry about her.

I slowly took a shaky breath, standing up and stretching my back. Ever since I fractured it a few years ago in a riding accident it hasn't been the same. Cheerleading at the varsity level after it didn't help either. I decided I need to distract myself so I couldn't think about home. I need to just relax and let my mind unwind. I'm going to go out, meet some people. I had heard about this amazing club before I had even moved to London, so I applied for a membership when I decided to come here. It was in a premier part of the city. The membership was expensive, but it was worth it. And I got in with no cover charge before 11 pm.

After I had showered and shaved, I dried my hair, curling it with my iron after it was dry. My hair was so straight naturally that I like to do stuff with it every now and then to have a change. I did my make up, a gold smokey eye with black liner and mascara. Then I got my dress out of my closet. It was a little black dress with gold designs, showing my tan complexion and light blue eyes.mit was short, highlighting my long, fit legs. I grabbed a pair of black heels, my gold clutch and walked out the door.

I saw Liam peering through a window as I walked out my door. He disappeared and when I reached the end of the walkway to my door, he walked out his yelling to me.

"Ali! Where you going dressed like that, love?" I walked over to have a chat before I left.

"I'm going to a club, I need to unwind," I told him as I got closer.

"Which one?"

"The Funky Buddha," I told him. His eyes lit up.

"I love it there! Mind if I join, give you some company? That way you at least know one person," he said.

"Sure! I'd like that," I told him. He opened the door so I could come in. He ran off upstairs to change as I looked around the room. It was cozy, large but inviting. He had a few awards on the mantel to his fireplace. There were pictures of him and the boys on stage, large crowds behind them. It must be amazing to play to crowds that large.

Liam came down the stairs. He looked amazing, I couldn't keep my eyes away. I admit, I may like him a tiny bit, but I hardly know him so it's not like I was going to do anything. He smirked as he held his arm out to me.

"Shall we?" He asked and I took his arm, as we walked out his door and got into a cab. On the ride there he explained that there might be papz and if we encountered any to keep my head down and completely ignore them. "I don't want them stalking you and completely invading your privacy if they find out who you are," he explained. I nodded and agreed.

We pulled up the the club. It was surrounded by papz. Liam handed me a pair of sunglasses. I put them on and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. He gave me a sympathetic smile before getting out and helping me out. I dropped my gaze to the ground as flashes went off and people screamed above the pounding of the music. Liam wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him as he guided me through the crowd.

We finally got inside the club, and I handed Liam his glasses back. He smiled and led me over to the bar. I smiled back and the bartender asked what we wanted. Liam ordered a beer and me, I went all out. I ordered tequila shots. Liam looked at me with wide eyes and I just smirked. It was funny to see Liam surprised. Did he think I couldn't handle liquor? The bartender passed me two shots and a few wedged of lime. Looking Liam in the eye, I downed the first shot, wrapping my lips around the wedge of lime and sucking. His eyes got a bit wider and I chuckled and downed the next one.

I could start to feel the alcohol in my system. It felt so good. I was warm and my mind was relaxed, just what I needed. Liam was watching me still so I walked real close to him, being a little more out there because of the alcohol.

"Wanna dance?" I asked. He downed the rest of his beer and took my hand as I led him on to the dance floor. He turned me around when we got a spot and grabbed my hips. I started dancing, tipping my head back slightly as I let the music move me. I danced closer to Liam so our fronts were flush. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and turned around so we were grinding on each other. His hands went down the sides of my thighs and back up on my stomach, exploring my body as I danced with him. He lowered his head and I could feel his hot breath on my neck. He was breathing heavy and I felt Liam junior jump a little as I slid down, then stood back up, leaning forward so my bum was really pressing into his crotch.

The song ended and we walked back to the bar. Liam had an arm wrapped around me. I ordered more shots and Liam decided to join in. We had 3, making me on my 5th. I could feel the difference. I was so hyped up, drunk from the tequila. But I didn't care, I was having fun with Liam. We danced some more and it was getting pretty late and we were wasted so we decided to catch a cab back to Liam's. We walked out of the club, Liam's arm around my waist.

We we got back to the house and Liam payed the driver. I had taken my heels off and carried them in my hand as we walked up to his door. We were laughing and I tripped, but Liam grabbed me just in time.

"Thanks for the save again! You're my hero!" I yelled dramatically and he laughed harder as he unlocked the door. We walked in and Liam grabbed glasses of water and pills for the morning. He grabbed my hand and led me upstairs to a room. I collapsed on the bed in my dress, exhaustion hitting me like a train. I pulled the covers over me as I watched Liam strip to his boxers. I couldn't help but admire his body. His perfectly chiseled biceps, his abs and legs muscles. He was sexy, I had to admit it. He climbed into bed just as I was falling asleep. The last thing I heard was, "goodnight angel," as I fell asleep in his arms.
