Chapter 1

So first chapter.. Here we go!

_____________________

That night is still a blur. One minute we were dancing, and the next minute me and him were walking around town for ages leaving the others behind. And all the time I found myself thinking, why him? The whole time I wanted to feel guilty but all I felt was happiness. He wanted to be there with me and not with her. Even though I know this was wrong, and even though I know that it could never work.

"Clare this apartment is amazing!" I exclaim when I open a door to what could come to be a big walk in closet in the future. Clare appears in the door way with a smirk plastered on her face.

"I know Sam! Imagine me and Harry waking up here together and then eat breakfast together, and then come home to each other again." She gushes and make a twirl in the middle of the now empty room. I can't help but to laugh at her enthusiasm.

"So you've already signed the contract?" I ask and catch her hands in mine with a smirk and she nods excitedly with a big smile. The door to the apartment opens and both Harry and Liam walks into the room with bags in their hands.

"We brought pizza and beer!" Harry yells and put the bags down in the middle of the floor. I pout and Liam hands me a white box.

"Sushi for you ma' lady" He says knowingly with a smile and I cheer. Harry looks at me in disbelief.

"I still don't know how you don't like pizza, Sam?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I have just never tried it" I say with a small smile. He shakes his head and sit down on the floor. Everyone else take a seat too and we dig into the food and beer. Suddenly Harry clears his throat and brings up his bottle.

"I want to propose a toast for me and my beautiful girlfriend," he stops and grind his nose against Clare's nose and me and Liam make complaining groans. "and our new apartment. I hope we get wonderful life here, well until we get married and move into a big house with a lot of kids of course!" he rushes the last part and looks lovingly into his girlfriends eyes.

"Cheers?" Liam says but it sounds more like an awkward question. Harry laughs and we all clink our bottles together.

We sit here for about three more hours and by then I think both Harry and Clare might have had a tad to much to drink. As I stand up to leave, I can't help but notice that me myself feel a little bit dizzy, so Liam stands up to steady me.

"We all have work tomorrow so I think Sam and I better get home" Harry and Clare follows us to the door to say goodbye.

"Are you really going to sleep here without furniture?" I ask confused and Harry smirks.

"Oh we don't need furniture for what we're about to do" I shake my head and give Clare a hug and Harry a swat on his arm before walking out with Liam.

"See you at work tomorrow" Clare yells behind us before she shrieks and the door slams shut.

Liam and I take the elevator down to the entrance and walk out into the streets of New York. I pull my scarf and coat tighter around me to keep me warm from the early December snow and link my arm with Liam's.

"You wanna take the subway or walk? He asks with a warm smile and I lean my head against his arm and mumble "Walk" silently. When we've walked for ten minutes Liam breaks the comfortable silence.

"I want what Harry and Clare has" he mumbles. I look at him confusedly. " I want someone that I'd love to share an apartment with"

"Am I not enough for you" I joke and push him slightly. He chuckles and kiss my temple.

"Everyday"

I think about what he said for a few minutes. Do I want someone to share my life with? Of course I do, I'm just not so big on the whole family thing. I'm not sure if I want kids because I think they are annoying and to much work and it is hard to find someone who shares that thought with me. But I choose to only reply with a short "Me too".

After a few minutes I can finally see our apartment complex and I'm thankful that the lobby is heated. I rub my palms together while Liam press the elevator button and the doors open with a loud bell sound immediately. The elevator ride is quick and we walk to the door with the bold 27B hanging on the door.

I take out my key and unlock the door and turn on the light in the hallway. I shrug of my coat and remind Liam to take of his shoes since I cleaned the apartment before we left and I want it to stay that way.

"I'm going straight to bed, I am exhausted"

"Good night, I'll wake you up at seven am." he says and I walk into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Before I know it I am under my covers fast asleep.
