Until Next Time (Liam Payne)

The weekend went by so fast because of all the things I had to get accomplished before heading out of town for the week. Thankfully it wasn't a very long flight, Nashville to Las Vegas. Easy Peasy.
I got a cab and headed to the hotel. This was some place and it was daylight! I've always seen pictures of it at night and couldn't wait to experience it. I arrived at the hotel and was in awe. I had been put up in some nice places but so far this had them all topped.
A bellhop got my luggage and ushered me into the lobby and to the desk. As always, I was put in one of the penthouse suites. I have never understood why, its just me, but I'm not complaining. Liam asked if I would leave a key to my room so asked them to do that for me.
My room was absolutely gorgeous. A small home right here in a hotel. I sat my things down and decided I'd unpack and get everything organized then get a bite to eat. The thing about traveling for business is the amount of clothes you have to take. I would be in meetings four days this week. That's business attire for four days, plus shoes, plus accessories, plus everything it takes for someone to get ready. Add to that everyday clothes for doing whatever outside of business. So basically I had packed everything but the kitchen sink, or so it seemed. Some of my clothes were going to need to be ironed so I called down to have someone pick my clothes up to be ironed so that I could have them back in time.
Two hours later, I remembered I had not eaten in quite some time. I knew there was a restaurant down on the main floor so I decided I would go check it out. Thank goodness for cooperate credit cards! The food was great but I was not accustomed to those kinds of prices. I wasn't in Tennessee anymore.
I went back up to the room and decided to kick up and relax. I was ready for the presentation tomorrow so there was no need to go over that. In fact, I may even go to bed early. And that's just what I did. Til the phone rang.
"Are you thinking about me?"
A smile a mile long crossed my face. I really wasn't expecting to hear from him since he had told me he may not be able to talk to me.
I giggled a little, "Of course".
"No need for lying now." He laughed "Just wanted to call and say hello and see you in 4 days."
"I'm glad you called, I really wasn't expecting it but it was a good surprise and yes, 4 days.".
"See you then."
I went to sleep with a smile on my face and woke up with a smile on my face. One day closer to seeing him. Dang butterflies.
All work on Monday. Crashed when I hit the bed that night. The same Tuesday and Wednesday. Woke up Thursday knowing today was the day. If all got accomplished sometimes the meetings would be cut short at lunch. I was so hoping this was one of those instances, but it wasn't looking that way. I would be doing good to get out at 5.
The morning dragged. Question after question. Finalizing numbers and color schemes. All the nit picking work which for some reason seems to take the longest. We stopped talks at 11 to take a two hour lunch. I picked up my phone to see that he had text-ed me.
"I have arrived. small change in plans. Call me when you can".
My heart sank to my stomach. What kind of changes? I sat down at the table in the boardroom as everyone was leaving and called him.
"Hello love, don't panic, its not big changes. One of the guys came with me. You'll never know he's here. Sort of. Meet me in the lobby."
I head down to the lobby and look around but he's no where to be found. Up from behind me he whispers in my ear, "I'm here". I turn around and he's dressed the way I saw him in the elevator the first time. Almost in disguise.
"Lets go to your room, I have to go over some things with you."
Now I'm scared. We go to my room. On the way up he tells me his room is just down the hall from mine.We enter my room and there is a very large man in my room. And that is the reason I was scared. He introduces me to his body guard and asks me to have a seat. In walks 'one of the guys'. From the pictures and hype I know who he is, Harry Styles. He walks over and introduces himself and hugs me, he then has a seat. Liam starts to explain being "famous". They were spotted. They tried not to be, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This time it didn't and because of twitter and other star sighting apps, it was on. The bodyguard had to be present at all times out of the hotel room. Don't talk to the paparazzi, look down and keep walking.
My head is whirling. He sees that I am really taken back with all the information and assures me not to worry, it will be all right. He has made plans for us tonight and asked if I brought a cocktail type dress or something similar. I really didn't think about it so my answer was no. From the other room a lady comes out and asks my size and then gets on the phone. I steal a quick glance at my watch, I have 10 minutes left, I have to get back to the meetings.
"Its really all right, no worries love. I just have to make sure you're aware of the situation and all that is involved." he says as he pulls me close and looks into my eyes. Those chocolate brown eyes. He pulls me closer and gives me a quick kiss.
I feel as though I'm stumbling in a fog towards the conference rooms. Was it the kiss or just everything that just went on in the past two hours. It was the kiss.
We finish up at 4:30 but I don't remember a thing that happened in those three and half hours, nothing. I make my way up to the room wondering if what happened, really happened. I unlock the door. Yep, it happened. Thankfully everyone had left my room and the only one that remained was Liam. He met me at the door and greeted me with a kiss.
"We have two hours before our reservations, so you want to relax, take a nap, shower?"
"Yes, to all the above".
He left me to myself. I showered and put on some sweat pants and a tank top. I walked into the sitting area and told him I was going to lie down and if he wanted to join me he could. He declined assuring me I would get more rest if he wasnt in there. There would be plenty of time for that later.
I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.
At 6 I was awakened by him gently nudging me that it was time to get up and get ready.
Laying across the other side of the bed was a red lace cocktail dress.
"I hope an hour is enough time, we have reservations at 7. Its a surprise. I've got to get ready also so I will see you in . . .45 minutes long enough?"
I nodded my head. The dress was beautiful. Shoes had also been bought to match, and of course everything to my size.
Everything fit like it was made for me. One problem. I couldn't get the zipper up on the dress. Getting frustrated I went in the next room trying to figure something out and there he stood.
"Need some help with that?"
I turn around and he zips it right up. He's stunningly handsome in black pants, black shirt and black jacket.
"Shall we go? Remember what we talked about? Just stay close to me."
As we walk out of the room the bodyguard meets us at the elevator. I take a deep breath. Here goes nothing or everything
