Harry's POV

Friday morning dawned bright and beautiful, with clear skies and lovely weather. Harry could feel excitement and anticipation flowing freely through his veins. Today was the day. The day he moved into his new apartment.

He decided that he would shower in his new place rather than waste his time showering in the moss growing bathroom of his motel.

He washed his face and ran a hand through his hsir, scrunching his curls. Ta-da he was good to go.

With great difficulty he trudged down the staircase with his many boxes in his arms and made his was out of the motel not bothering to bid farewell to the nasty receptionist as he stepped out of the place for the final time, feeling like a caged bird that had just been told it was free to fly high and explore the skies.

He even managed to find a cab quickly, today was a good day he thought to himself smiling quietly to himself, his dimples making an appearance.

He got out at the entrance to the apartment complex and tipped the cab driver generously feeling like sharing his happiness with as many people in the world as he could.

He was greeted by Richard, Liam's father at the lobby.

"You must be Harry" he said smiling warmly, his expression friendly and wise. "Lisa told me all about you and what a good lad you are, I'm glad that my first apartment rent out goes to you."

Harry smiled shyly, blushing a bit. "Thank you Sir, I'm beyond honoured and happy that I found this place."

" Nah Son the pleasure is all mine. speaking of son, have you met my son Liam? He should be somewhere nearby..."

"I'm here Dad" came a deep voice from behind Harry.

Harry turned around and saw a fit, lean lad with chocolate brown eyes and an adorable puppy like smile.

The boy stepped forward, pulling Harry into a hug. "Nice to meet you mate." Liam said, instantly making Harry feel secure and welcome.

It took Harry not more than a second to realise that Liam and he were going to get along really well. "Nice to meet you too" he said flashing his dimples.

"Liam will show you your apartment Son, I hope it meets your expectations" Richard said, looking absolutely delighted to see Liam and Harry get along so well.

Harry and Liam entered the lift and pressed the button to the first floor which is where Harry's new apartment was.

"What about my roommate? Is he here?"

"Not yet as far as I know but he should be here soon" Liam replied.

"So Richard and you live here too?"

"Yes, I live with both my parents. In fact we're staying just two floors above you. Dad wanted to live in the same complex so he could keep an eye on things, as he isn't too used to this whole renting business, you see?" Liam explained.

"That's great mate! I'm happy you're staying close by, you seem like a great guy" said Harry warming up to the boy instantly.

They had reached the door by now. There was only one apartment per floor and there was a beautiful woven carpet leading up to the door which had the room number 28 inscribed on it in gold lettering.

Liam had just opened the door when Harry realised he'd left one of his boxes in downstairs by accident.
"Shoot! I forgot a box downstairs, you go on ahead, I'll be right back..." he said rushing back into the lift.

Louis' POV

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He was late. Terribly late. Niall had told him to be at the complex by 8 am and it was already 8.30. Fuck.

Louis grabbed his suitcase and shoe boxes and with and quick glance at himself in the mirror, shot down the stairs, shouting a goodbye to Dean on the way.

He hastily got into a cab, urging him to get his ass moving quickly.

When Louis finally arrived at the complex, there was nobody in the lobby. Niall had told him that Richard would be there but well what else could you expect when you arrive an hour late he thought to himself dryly. He knew his apartment was on the first floor.

Fuck it he'd go up himself he thought to himself running towards the lift seeing that the door was about to close.

He rushed in just as the doors snapped shut colliding with someone.

"Oops!"

"Hi"

Louis looked up to see who on earth was greeting him so calmly after he had collided head first into them and saw green eyes, familiar green eyes and soft chestnut curls tumbling down his face...
