"Harry Styles and Kennedy Monroe?" I smiled at our new receptionist who nodded and typed into her computer.

"Pleasure to meet you." She smiled back.

"What's your name?" I asked, glancing towards Niall who was playing on his phone, still dusting off the cold from the New York weather.

"Madeline. Maddie for short." Maddie smiled bigger as she handed me two sets of keys.

"Thank you Maddie. I'll see you around." I flashed her a big smile once more before turning and meeting Niall, placing one of the keys in my coat pocket.

"Let's go. Top floor." I pressed the elevator button while gathering my things.

"You two have got to be so fancy." Niall glanced around the all marble entrance. I shrugged and got into the elevator with Niall.

"No, we just need the most protection." I sighed and plugged my key in, pressing the top floor and watching a light flash green and the elevator doors close.

"I'm fine and I live in a loft." Niall shuddered.

"Good for you, I like where I live." I sighed.

"Fair." Niall shrugged.

    The doors opened into a short hallway filled with paintings and marble top to bottom. I wheeled my things out behind Niall and stopped at the door at the end of the hallway. I pushed my key into the door and unlocked it.

    The apartment was exactly how it was in our old building. Floor to ceiling windows, hard wood floors, a completely open floor plan, nudish dark coloring. It felt just like home and even more safer.

"Damn, he was right. Same exact fucking thing." Niall put his items against the wall and looked around.

    I locked the door behind us and looked around myself, noticing a few slight differences but none that would make me upset. I placed Harry's key on the side entry table and moved to the kitchen.

    Instead of the all white kitchen in the other apartment, it was more grayish with hints of gold in the counter top. I honestly liked it better, less of a mess to clean up compared to the all white.

"The guys are ready whenever we are." Niall said while glancing up from his phone.

"I can get the car from downstairs or I can call the driver." I said, glancing at the group chat from my phone.

"I'll call the driver." Niall smiled before walking away to call our driver.

I shrugged and pulled out my phone to text Harry.

Me: Apartment looks the exact same. I love it

Harry: I'll send the guys a nice tip

Me: Going out to the bar, don't get too jealous

Harry: Just be careful

Me: Was planning on babysitting

Harry: Xavier going to be there?

Me: Knowing his ass, yes

Harry: Kick him in the balls for me

Me: For the both of us

Harry: Have fun babe

Me: I will :)

"Ready?" Niall asked. I pushed my phone into my back pocket and nodded. Niall unlocked the door and led me out.
