Light of My Life

Harry listened to Birdie and he honestly didn’t think her dream to become a model was all that funny, he could see her modelling clothes and walking along a cat walk in a show. “But what? What’s stopping you from trying?” He asked taking another sip of her drink, he was glad she didn’t want to be a Victoria’s Secret model as those women were becoming skinnier with each year.

Or at least that’s what Harry though, “We could go around to some modelling agencies if you wanted.” He suggested to her as he really didn’t see why she hadn’t already gone for it, sure it was scary to try new things but all he wanted for Birdie was for her to be happy. If modelling was going to make her happy, then he would support her completely.

“I prefer to look at you’re voluptuous figure and if you decide to do some lingerie shoots, I could always help pick out the best ones.” He sent her a cheeky grin and a matching wink, it was a comment that was true to him. Birdie had the best body he has even seen, he loved the curves she had now and wished he could hold onto her hips and pull her body closer to his. “But I’m serious, I’ll help you if you really want to become a model. Which I know you can be,” Looking into her eyes, he needed her to know how serious he was being.

“I’m ready, could we still get a drink and some popcorn?” Abigail asked as her boyfriend drove his fancy car, she always loved having snacks to eat when watching a movie. She didn’t even care if she had just eaten dinner, she could fit in popcorn quite easily. Hearing Liam chuckle, she smiled at him as he agreed to buy her a drink and a bucket of buttery popcorn. A comfortable silence fell over them as he continued driving through the busy streets, Abigail stared out the window watching everything pass by so quickly.

Until Liam parked his car and they climbed out, her hand finding his easily as she laced their fingers together. Walking into the cinema, the line wasn’t long thankfully so they had their tickets and Abby’s snacks in no time. She had her diet coke in one hand and her bucket of popcorn in the other hand, she was all set for the movie which was the new Tarzan movie that she had been wanting to see. “You know me too well,” She kissed Liam’s cheek softly as they walked into the right cinema, Abby found them a seat and sat down to make herself comfortable. She allowed Liam to take some of her popcorn as she was going to share with him, “It’s not that full in here.” She whispered to him as there were only a few other people sitting in the cinema, which was nice because it meant less noise while the movie was playing.

Liam chuckled at the female as she asked about popcorn and a drink, "Why not... it's not like we didn't just have a large meal." he male smiled turning his head to look at the female before he found a spare car park and pulled in. Switching the engine off he jumped out and walked around opening Abby's door for her taking her hand, entwining it with his and leading her into the large theatre where they bought their tickets along with a large box of buttery popcorn and two large drinks.

"I do. Yes I do," he smiled as he felt the young woman's lips on his cheek. Looking around he noticed how bare the theatre really was. Which was interesting considering the Tarzan movie was a new release he just assumed it would be bursting with people. Women coming to have a perv on Alexander Skarsgård but obviously not tonight. However the singer wasn't going to complain considering it meant less noise which was always nice when watching a movie. "No it's not," he replied, "but that is a good thing," he leant forward and placed a kiss on the females neck gently biting the perfumed skin.

---

"What's stopping me? Work, my contracted hours are all over the place and I never know when I am and am not working. SO that makes it rather difficult," the female stated a she took another pull of her drink. "Really? We could do that?" excitement surged through Birdie as she thought about the possibilities of visiting modelling agencies but in the back of her mind a niggling feeling of anxiousness taunted her.

Birdie laughed at the curly haired male but felt a blush colour her cheeks. "Of course Harold I will remember that and be sure to get in contact with you." she took another sip of her drink. "I would really like that Harry." the two sat in silence for a little while but it was a comfortable silence before Marianas Trench's song Stutter came on.

"Oh I love this song, come on!" Bridie got to her feet and grabbed the males hand and pulled him onto the small dance floor area where maybe two people were dancing.

Harry watched the excitement build in Birdie's dark eyes, he always believed that if someone had a dream. They didn't have many excuses why they couldn't go after their dream, work wasn't a great excuse in his opinion. But that just caused him to feel even more stubborn about this, he would do everything he could in his power to help Birdie out. He'd even drop his name if it would help, and that wasn't something he ever did as he wanted to stay the person he was. He didn't want to use his fame but he would for the beautiful brunette that was sitting beside him.

"I'm not the best dancer, so you brought this onto yourself." He warned with a smile on his face, he didn't care if there weren't many people dancing. He was comfortable enough in himself to be the only one dancing, but as he started moving his body to the music. It was obvious how bad he was, he had the most dorky dance moves and he was using all of them which seemed to only amuse Bridie.

---

Abigail hoped people weren't running late to the movies, she couldn't stand when people arrived during the movie and distracted her. A warm blush tinted her cheeks when she felt Liam's lips press against her neck, before he took a little nibble of her skin. A quiet giggle escaped her lips as she raised her hand and gently pushed his face away, "Liam. Someone could see," She whispered to him even though the cinema room was already dark, but someone could have still been watching them.

The ads came on the large screen for a while and then it happened, all the late people started filing into the room and looked for any empty seats that they could find. A few people even had to squeeze passed her and Liam, even though there were still empty seats around them. Abby glared at each person through the dark and continued to eat her popcorn, which did make her feel much better. The curtains pulled back completely from the screen as the movie started, Abby didn't really find Alexander guy to be all that attractive. He was fine to look at in her opinion, she'd much rather drool over her boyfriend and his body. But the actors were amazing and it was a good story line for yet another Tarzan movie.

Liam knew it would happen, people would filter in late, and he was right as soon as the adds started several people arrived. He knew that Abby would have been glaring daggers at them in the dark. Grabbing her hand he laced his fingers through hers as the movie began they sat in silence enjoying each others company and the atmosphere. The movie went quickly and what felt like no time the credits were rolling and the lights were coming on. People were leaving. Liam and Abigail waited till they had all left before they even considered moving.

Looking at his watch he saw it was nine-thirty still a while left to dawdle. As they entered the theatre the male began to walk away from the car park. Looking at the female he knew she was about to ask questions but he silenced her.

"Let's go for a walk, it's a nice night." he smiled before spinning her around and drawing her close as they began to walk through the streets one destination in the males mind.

---

Birdie laughed as the male danced to the music, he wasn't very coordinated when it came to dancing but she was enjoying his company and he was making her laugh with his rather awkward movements. Soon the song changed, this time it was a One Direction song, a slow one.

"Ahh I love this song," she admitted truthfully as 'I want to Write you a Song" leaked through the speakers. She grabbed the males hands and guided them around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck and the two began to sway to the slow tempo of the song. "So..." she began trying to think of something to strike up a conversation with. "Got yourself a bird yet?"

Harry raised his brow at her, she liked a One Direction song? She continued to surprise him and he was enjoying it, he wrapped his arms around her waist once she allowed him to and gently pulled her curvy body closer to his. “Not yet but I have my eye on one, she’s insanely beautiful. And I mean she’s drop dead gorgeous,” He smiled as he kept his eyes locked with her own, hoping Birdie would catch on to the fact he was talking about her and not anyone else.

“I’m planning on asking her out on a date, I’ll try for tomorrow. I’ll pick her up from the bar she works at, I’m sure the regulars won’t mind. I’ll take her to one of my favourite places, it’s hidden away but they have the best pub food and great live music. Think she’ll say yes?” He grinned at her as their bodies moved in time with the song, suddenly everything around him went dark and all he saw was Birdie.

Her beauty was glowing, her smile was the most important thing to him now. He wanted to keep making her smile, to make her laugh and to just make her incredibly happy. The happiest she has ever felt in her entire life, he hoped to god that she said yes to going on a date with him.

---

Abigail had finished off her popcorn and her drink by the time the movie finished, however she didn’t make a move until everyone else in the theatre had left. Tossing their rubbish in the bin, she held Liam’s hand and followed him. However he steered her away from his car, looking at him she smiled when he wanted to take a walk. It was the perfect night for a stroll, it wasn’t too cold to be outside at night and not have a jacket on.

There was a slight breeze but it was fresh against her skin, her belly was now completely full with no more room for food and the movie had been better than she expected. “I know you’ve got something else planned mister,” She giggled when he spun her around before bringing her in nice and close to him, she adored this. When he planned dates, he never told her anything apart from what she should wear. So she wouldn’t be over or under dressed for whatever he had in mind for them, he was the best when it came to going on dates.

“Have I told you how much I love you, recently?” She smiled at him as they walked, they walked nice and slow so they could enjoy the night and being with each other. She continued to fall more in love with him with every day that went by.

Liam chuckled, "You may have mentioned it once or twice but I never get tired of hearing it. He wrapped his arms around the female as he moved her so she was walking in front of him, he loved walking this way with her, he had figured out how to do it so he didn't trip over either his or her feet. "Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" he asked nuzzling his head into her soft copper coloured hair.

The two continued to walk along as the breeze blew across them, it moved her hair moved across his face ticking his nose causing him to laugh quietly to himself. They walked through Hyde Park Liam pulled her to a stop trying to pass time the best way he possibly could. When Abigail turned back to look at him he lifted his head and looked up at the stars.

"It's so clear tonight," he commented his eyes darting over to look at the female who now was looking up at the stars as well. Seeing as it was a warmer night he sat down on the grass before laying back not caring that he got grass all over his clothing. "Are you going to join me?" he asked his dark eyes locking with the females light ones.

---

"Hmmm, she sounds like a very special lady," Birdie spoke nodding her head even though her heart had began to race when she realised he had been talking about her, she wanted to play a little hard to get so the next thing that came from her mouth was a question. "And what if she is unable to get away, or the regulars won't let her leave?" she quirked one of her brows as the two continued to sway to the music. The brown haired woman looked at the male.

He had changed a lot since the two had gone to school together. He had matured both mentally and physically, the pudginess around his face had melted away to expose a sharp defined jaw and beautiful cheekbones. His viridescent eyes were still the same, bright and full of happiness. His voice had always been deeper but now it was so deep and he was articulate and slow with his words.

"She's a very special lady," Harry agreed and listened to her next question, he knew what she was doing. She was playing hard to get and he didn't expect anything more from Birdie, "If that does happen which I'm sure it won't. Then I'll either beg her boss to give her the time off, or I'll just take her." He grinned as he was only joking the last part of that sentence, he'd make sure that she would have her boss's approval to have the time off work so they could go out and have a nice date.

"All she has to do is say yes and I'll work everything else out, she doesn't have to worry about a single thing." He assured her as he knew she needed the money that she made from working at the bar, but she also needed to enjoy herself and have a live away from the bar which is what he'll try to give her if she lets him. Reaching up he gently tucked some dark curly hair behind her ear, his thumb brushing over the soft skin of her cheek as his vibrant eyes gazed into her rich dark ones.

---

Abigail smiled at him before he moved her so she was walking right in front of him, his arms securely wrapped around her body as they entered Hyde Park. Warmth covered her cheeks at his comment, "You have but I also love hearing it." She never wanted him to stop calling her beautiful, it made her heart melt into a muddle whenever she heard it. He had been the only guy who ever made her feel this way, to make her knees weak and take her breath away.

Once they stopped Abigail turned around only to find Liam was looking up at the sky, lifting her head she noticed how clear the sky was and that stars covered the dark canvas. "It's beautiful out here tonight," Smiling she felt his body move away from her, that was because he was laying down on the grass. "I'll only join you because you're so cute," Abigail chuckled softly as she moved over and lowered herself onto the grass, she moved her body into his so she wouldn't get cold. "Tonight has been perfect," She whispered to him as she pressed her lips against his cheek.

Liam smiled when the young woman lay down beside him, drawing her body close to his in order to stay warm. He rolled over his attention on Abigail as she lay looking up at the stars. He looked over her profile, her cute button nose, the way her soft rose lips were drawn into a smile as her light eyes scanned the night sky looking at the constellations above.

"It has been, but the night isn't over yet. We have one more stop," he wrapped an arm around her before rolling so that he was on top of her, resting most of his body weight on his fore arms he made sure not to squash her. Gently he pressed a kiss to the tip of her nose before locking his lips with hers.

"I think you are going to like this next stop." he pointed out before rolling off her and getting to his feet before reaching down and helping his girlfriend to her feet wiping the grass off of her skirt before doing the same to himself. "Come on." he took her hand and headed toward the London Eye. The final stop and where he would ask her the most important question he could ask her.

---

"Well it sounds like she has an easy job, all she has to do is say yes," Birdie stated as the two moved to the music. "Might I ask where you would take her?" the brunette asked as she looked into the curly haired males eyes. He was wearing a large smile and there was no way that Birdie was going to be able to turn him down. Not with a smile like that.

Birdie remembered school when her and Harry had been friends and the fun they had together, she remembered he was her first kiss, but she wasn't sure that he knew that. He had been the only guy that had ever given any real attention when she was in school. Most of the guys just gave her shit for her body and the fact that she wore glasses and had braces, not Harry he was nicer than that, he didn't care that she was the gawkiest girl in the school he still showed her kindness and respect.

The two were as thick as thieves back in the day and when he tried out for X-factor she had been in the crowd holding a sign and cheering as loudly as she could and when he got through she burst into tears at the happiness that had flooded over her. He had always been destined for greatness and now here he was.

Harry continued to smile as he held Birdie close to him and danced with her, “I’d take her to a nice but still casual restaurant then we could either go see a movie or go bowling or just take a walk through a park.” He told her as he waited for what her answer would be, his eyes never leaving her’s as she listened to his answer. He knew she was thinking about saying yes, he could see it in her eyes. So he decided to help make up her mind, he swayed with her before he supported her back and dipped her.

He felt her grip tighten on him quickly before she relaxed when she realised he wasn’t going to drop her, he held her before bringing her body back up once she was smiling and giggling. He leaned forward pressing his lips to her forehead, “What do you think she’ll say?” He asked softly as he pressed a tender kiss to each of her cheeks, he gently brushed the tip of their noses together as he looked over her stunning features.

“Or do you think she’ll want a better date?” From what he remembered from growing up with Birdie, she had never truly been fussed with having anything fancy. So a fancy date or a fancy restaurant would probably make her feel uncomfortable, for right now at least because if something did happen between them which Harry was hoping then he would treat her like a princess because that’s what she deserved.

---

Abigail giggled softly when Liam rolled his body over her’s, making sure to hold up his weight as he told her that they had one more place to be. “You’re spoiling me too much,” She looked into his eyes, the gorgeous dark rusty bark that she loved so much. A warm flush covered her cheeks when his lips melted against her own, returning the tender but loving kiss she felt her heart slamming against her rib cage. Then his lips were gone and so was his body, she took his hands as he helped her back onto her feet.

The grass was brushed off her dress before his hand found her’s and he guided her further along the path, she followed walking beside him as their hands stayed connected. She had no idea what else Liam could possibly have planned for their date, but she was looking forward to finding out what he did have planned. They left the park and walked along the side walk, the night was still busy with people although no one was rushing around like they did during the day.

Other couples were also out on dates and groups of friends were enjoying each other’s company, as Liam led the way it didn’t take Abby long before she figured out where he was taking her. “The London Eye,” She smiled when she saw they were heading straight towards the London Eye, she had only been on the giant wheel a few times but none of those times had been during the night. They moved over to the entrance and waited until an empty container came around for them, Abigail stepped inside and instantly moved over to the window so she could see the city with all the lights on.

Liam watched as his girlfriend hurried into the empty container, she was over to the glass in an instant watching the city as the wheel moved around, slowly he walked up behind her but not before checking his time. He didn't have long left to go, fifteen minutes to be exact. He knew he would have to pop the question before they reached the top because that was when the fireworks were going to be set off. Liam stood behind the female wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her head.

He watched as everything got higher and the lights could be seen from everywhere and he knew it was time.

"Abigail," he began turning her and looking deeply into her eyes before dropping down onto one knee. "Abigail Langley, you know how much you mean to me. How much I love you and I was wondering..." he pulled the velvet box from his pocket opening it to expose a fifteen carat diamond ring. "Will you marry me?"

---

"I think that she would love it," Birdie stated a smile spread across her face at how romantic and gentle the curly haired male was being. She felt like her thirteen year old self again when she had first kissed Harry and he had been so sweet and romantic. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, something that hasn't happened to her for a while, not the way the male was making it beat now.

Looking up at the male she saw him smiling at her his dimples showing and his viridescent eyes glinting in the street light. She grabbed his face and pressed her lips against his unable to fight the unbearable urge to kiss him.

It was just like it had been the first time, only this time both of them had more practice and there was less saliva involved.

Harry’s arms brought Birdie even closer to him once her lips were pressed to his, he hadn’t expected her to make the first move as he remembered he had kissed her first when they were younger. Of course now, they were both far better kissers. He ran his fingers through her curly locks before resting on the nape of her neck, he never wanted to stop kissing her so when she did pull back he pressed a sweet peck onto her full lips.

“Now that should have been our first kiss,” He chuckled softly as he rested his forehead against her’s, “You’re so beautiful.” He whispered to her as his arms stayed wrapped around her waist, “It’s getting late love. I’ll drive you home,” Although he wanted to spend the entire night with her, she could have things to do in the morning and he remembered how grumpy she could get when she didn’t get enough sleep.

---

Abigail smiled brightly as she took in all the amazing lights, the experience was made better when Liam wrapped his arms around her and watched the view with her. But then he had turned her around and suddenly she watched him get down onto one knee, happy tears instantly welled up in her eyes as her heart hammered in her chest. She couldn’t believe it, Liam hadn’t even mentioned that he wanted to get married. “Yes, yes I’ll marry you Liam.” She gushed out as a few tears rolled down her cheeks, her hand shook lightly as he slid the gorgeous ring onto her finger which fitted perfectly.

“I love you so much,” She wrapped her arms around his neck as he stood, her feet leaving the ground as he lifted her up. Her lips found his for a passionate kiss, right as fireworks could be heard outside but Abby didn’t care to watch them. Liam had just proposed to her, she wondered if she was just dreaming. If she was then she never wanted to wake up, “I love you.” She whispered against his warm lips.

@ sugarplum.
Liam was overwhelmed that she had said yes, he never doubted that she would say no but to have her in that moment say yes without hesitation he knew he had made the right decision to pop the question tonight, he had kept his plans on the down low for weeks telling only his fellow band mates and his family. He bundled her up into his arms lifting her off the ground and kissing her with as much passion as he could muster. He felt as if his heart could explode with the elation he was currently feeling.

As he kissed her he heard the fireworks go off and knew that he should allow her to watch them as they were part of the plan. However it was her that broke the kiss to tell him once again that she loved him.

"I love you too Abby," he whispered against her lips before placing her down and the two turning to watch the brilliant display of fireworks light up the night sky as the clocks chimed midnight. Slowly The Eye began to move down and the fireworks came to an end. Liam held his fiancé's hand and the two exited the ride together. "Well... I think it is time we head home my beautiful fiancé," the word felt so nice rolling off his tongue.

---

Biride felt giddy and breathless yet she still managed to laugh when the curly haired male said that should have been their first kiss. "If only we had known how to kiss like that when we were fourteen," she stated happily. As much as she didn't want to she knew she should get home she could hear the town clocks chiming midnight and she had to be up early tomorrow with errands but she also didn't want to leave Harry.

"Tomorrow night. I am free all night," she stated before taking his head and reaching up to peck him on the lips. Before the two headed back to the pub where she assumed his car waited for him. However she would have to grab her skateboard from inside the building, she had forgotten to grab it on the way out.

“True, but I think that make up for it.” Harry grinned as he laced his fingers with Birdie’s, guiding her off in the direction of the pub where his car was waiting. He didn’t want to leave her, they still had so much to talk about but at the same time he didn’t want to push things with her. He wanted things to just happen naturally between them, “Tomorrow night it is then. I’ll have the greatest date of all time planned out for us,” He knew Birdie, he knew what she liked and what she’d hate.

Or at least he hoped he still did know her, he knew her back when they were teenagers. Had she changed since then? He hoped she hadn’t. Lifting their hands, he kissed over her knuckles as they walked along the street path together. “I can’t tell you how glad I am that I walked into that pub tonight,” He still couldn’t believe that out of all the places he could have gone, he went to the pub where Birdie worked.

---

Abigail didn’t really care about the fireworks, she did find herself glancing down at the gorgeous engagement ring on her finger. She still couldn’t believe it, she was engaged. She would marry the man of her dreams one day, and she had no idea that Liam had been planning this. Once the ride had taken them back down to the bottom, Abby stepped off before turning to her fiancé. “Let’s go home,” She agreed with a kiss to his cheek, she thought all her happiness would burst from her body soon. She couldn’t possibly describe how truly happy she was in that moment, hearing Big Ben chime she knew it was way too late at night to start calling her family and friends.

She wanted to tell everyone, shout it out that she was going to be marrying Liam. “How long have you been planning this?” She asked as she was curious, she hadn’t picked up on anything that would have given her any idea of what he was planning.

@ sugarplum.
Liam laughed at how elated she was, the smile on her face was so wide and bright it looked painful but everything had turned out exactly how he had wanted it to and he couldn't have asked for a better night. The two were now happily engaged and it wouldn't be long before the two of them were sharing the news with all their friends. However for the rest of the night it would just be the two of them enjoying each others company.

"A few months now," he stated simply with a light shrug of his shoulders, it was true he had spent hours planning how he was going to do this to make it the best night of both of their nights and thankfully with all his planning it had worked out just as he had wanted it to. Even better. Big Ben continued to chime into the night as Liam wrapped his arms around his soon to be wife the diamond on her ring glinting in the night lights. He kissed the top of her head as they walked back to his car before he opened the door for her to get in.

---

"I can't wait," Birdie stated truthfully. They were near the bar now. "You get the car ready. I am just going to get my board won't be a second," she smiled turning and racing back into the bar and grabbing her skateboard before riding it over to Harry's car where he now stood with the passenger side door open. Jumping off and lifting up the board she stepped into the seat thanking the male as he closed her door for her.

Birdie gave Harry her address and within seconds they were off and driving. Bridie leaned forward and turned the nozzle on the car radio turning the music up and humming along to the familiar tunes.

Once Birdie was safely in his car, he climbed in himself and started the engine. Pulling out of the parking spot, he begun to drive in the direction that Birdie gave him. When she turned the nozzle of the radio it reminded him to ask her something, “So I know you never really go for the boy band type of music, but you have to like us right?” He asked even though he didn’t actually care if she didn’t like the music he made with the boys, he knew that not everyone was a fan and he also knew Birdie hadn’t ever really been into pop music.

The smile was still plastered across his face as he drove through the dark streets, pulling to a stop when Birdie pointed out where she lived. He turned his car off so he could shift in his seat and look at her, “So… I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, unless you needed me to come inside with you. Make sure you don’t get kidnapped or run away from me,” He grinned at her as he was hinting for her to ask him inside her home, he didn’t want the night to end just yet.

---

“For months? You can’t keep a secret for longer than a week, how did you last a few months?” Abigail smiled at her soon to be husband, she had no idea how he lasted so long without blurting it out to her like he has done before but she was glad that he had kept it all a secret. Climbing into his car she placed the seat beat across her body, she relaxed into the seat and looked at the gorgeous diamond ring on her finger. It felt a little strange to have a ring on that finger, but it was a good type of strange and it meant that this hadn’t just been a dream. Abby wouldn’t be waking up from this.

“Could we only tell our family and friends? Just for a while, I want to enjoy this and not have the world know.” She asked knowing not all of his fans would be pleased about this, in fact she didn’t even want them to tell the media. Someone would see her ring eventually, there was no need for them to announce to anyone who wasn’t close to them. Abigail wanted to live in her happy little bubble with Liam for as long as she could, before the world found out they were engaged as it wasn’t any of their business. “And once we are married, then we can start practicing for a family.” She giggled softly as he drove them home.
