"Give me that" as Liam took the sock from my hand, the white sheet falling to his waist.
It was one of his socks bunched up. How it ended up in the foot of the bed is beyond me. He sits there unbunching it.
"It seems since I met you first in bed, that I should propose in bed." He says pulling a black velvet ring box out of the sock. My heart dropped to my stomach, I'm in shock, literally. I was not expecting this. He opens it and shows me a huge diamond ring and takes it out, "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" All I can do is nod yes. He slides the ring on my finger and I'm shaking. "Are you alright, you havent said anything."
I sit up and fall into him, wrapping my arms around him. "Oh my God, yes, a thousand times, yes!" I exclaim and look at it on my hand. "How did you know the size?" It was a perfect fit.
"I put one of your rings on my finger and marked where it came to, so I could show them."
"My dad? Oh no."
He stops me, "Now why would I ask you with out talking to him. You should know I would do it properly" He does this pulling up my hand and looking at it on my hand. "And in case someone asks, its a four carat cushion cut, custom made for you."
I turn and kiss him, "This is so much more than I could have ever imagined, all of this"
"Me ignoring you, wasnt ignoring you, it was the only way I could not say something or let it slip."
"Does anyone else know?"
"Just our parents, couldnt risk it getting leaked."
I turn facing him and wrap my legs round him, both of us still sitting in the bed, covers at our laps, naked, we couldnt have had a more intimate moment. I place my hands on his cheeks and pull him in for a kiss. "Are you happy?" He asks as he pulls away, taking my hand and kissing it.
"More than you will ever know. You have made me the happiest I have ever been. The past year has been like a dream, its like a fairy tale." I say as a happy tear slides down my cheek.
"Now those are the only tears I want see, the happy ones." he says as he wipes it away with his thumb and kisses my cheek were it slid down.
We lie back on the pillows and hold each other. "Liam, are you happy?" I ask him.
"Now what kind of question is that, if you're happy, I'm happy. I've been happy since I met you. Since I picked you up in the limo and took you out the second day."
"When did you know you loved me" I say watching my ring sparkle under the lights.
"Probably when you accidentally got pushed down the steps. That flight to you was the longest flight I have ever taken. Then when I saw you, I felt complete, there with you. What about you, I think it was when you saw me in my sexy batman pants."
"Oh yeah, that was it." I say very sarcastically. "It was in Miami when we were fooling around and the song came on and you were singing. It felt as though you had me in mind when you recorded it. I've been in love ever since."
We lay there holding each other in the dark til we fall asleep. I hold up my hand in the dark, I cant believe it, I still cant believe it.
I open my eyes to his brown eyes, inches from me "Good morning future Mrs. Payne. As much as I would love to lay here with you, I have a show tonight. Are you coming to it?"
"Yes, I do believe I am." I've only went to two so far the two weeks I've been with him.
"Good, I like it when you're there. How about you watch it from the side lines tonight. You've never done that have you?"
"No, I havent. Good, a new experience"
"How would you feel about me announcing our engagement to the world tonight? Or do you want to keep it private, I'm fine with either one. I just dont want to do something and it not be what you had in mind."
"Lets keep it private until our family knows. I dont want people closest to us feel left out. How do you think your fans will react?"
"I dont know, but if they truly are my fans, they will be happy for me, for us" He says this kissing my nose.
We get up and get dressed and head to breakfast, weve held back a little to everyone can be in there. As we walk in Liam takes a look around to make sure the guys are in there.
"I'd like every ones attention." He says waiting on everyone to look our way "She said yes!" as he holds up my hand flashing my ring. Everyone erupts in clapping, and congratulations, some of the ladies running up and hugging me, gawking at my ring. The guys come up and embrace him, patting him on the back and making jokes in his ear, laughing.
"Can I tweet this?" asks Lou "Or a pic for Instagram?" I look at him, we forgot to discuss this.
"Not now please, we want our families to be told first" he says, "Let them wake up, and we'll call and tell them. Then, you can tweet all you want."
She seems satisfied with that answer, "I call first dibs"
I feel as though my feet arent touching the ground. I cant stop looking at it. I check my watch and do the math for the time back home. They should be up I tell myself. I get my parents and sisters on the same call and tell them. My mom starts crying and my sisters are screaming. They are ecstatic for me. Liam listens in laughing at their reaction. After we disconnect he calls his parents. His mom does the same, cries. His dad congratulates him and is so proud of him. His sisters are called separately and told, they also are so happy for him, us.
When we arrive at the stadium I hold my hand out to Lou, tweet and Instagram away. She squeals with delight. When everyone sees this go down, the phones come out and everyone is posting it. Zayn comes to us "Be prepared for the hate" his eyes showing how he has been hurt by it.
I watch the concert from the side and it is a totally different view of whats going on. I have on headphones, its really loud back here. As it comes to a close we are escorted to the vehicles to head back over to the hotel.
My phone chimes, its Perrie congradulating me and telling me how beautiful it is, she saw Lou's post. I get nothing from El and I suddenly feel sorry for her. I decide to tweet and post pics to answer everything I am getting. Within seconds there is love and hate. I exit out, I owe no one an explanation. I go to Instgram and Liam has posted a pic of it on my hand, 'the future Mrs. Payne'. Inside I swell with pride. He's all mine.
Back in the room I sit and wait for him. I hear the crowd outside letting me know they have arrived. I meet him at the door. He pulls me into a kiss and pushes me against the wall.

Notes
