"Isle seat!!! I shottie the isle seat!!" I screeched running in front of Jeremy and Matt before plunking my butt in the isle seat, a cheeky grin spread over my face, looking at them.
"Don't give a fuck, Al just shove, you know I like the window seat" Matt said shoving my feet onto the seats so he could move past.
"Guess I'm in the middle then" Jeremy had a smirk as he squeezed my thigh as he sat down next to me. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as his hands passed over my legs. God I hate the effect he has on me.
I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and pull me in to the crook of his arm.
"You ready for this babe" he whispered into my hair.
"Ready as I'll ever be"

Groggily I lifted my head from the soft pillow I had been resting on for the last 15 hours and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. It had been a long ass trip and I was ready to get off this plane. I had only fell asleep for the last hour of the trip. The incessant 7 year old behind me repeatedly kicked my seat over and over and over and over... anyway you get the point. I was tired, pissed and sore. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed and get the hell out go here.
Matt seemed not to be aware of my mood and insisted on bugging me to no end. But just before I could voice some very colourful words that had been playing through my head Jeremy told him to "Shut the fuck up, before I pummel you to the ground"
This is why I loved him so much. You see I get a little queasy on long plane trips, which is why I always take the isle seat. Anyway, Matt can sleep anywhere, so it only took an hour for him to fall asleep, Jeremy was too busy making sure I was okay. So a few hours in I still couldn't get comfortable and he lifted the armrest in-between our chairs.
He didn't want me to be up alone so when I couldn't sleep we would watch movies together, play cards or just talk. Therefore he too was tired, and didn't feel the need to deal with my brother's shit either.

We had arrived at 8 in the morning and got to the house we were renting by 10. It was close to the campus which was amazing and was two stories. We would be sharing the house with another 5 people, 3 girls and 2 boys. Matt and Jeremy would be rooming and I would be with a girl named Sophie.
So when we entered the house, all gross from the long flight and sore we did not expect to see a crime scene in the living room. Beer cans, red cups and people were scattered on the floor. A bra hanging from the light in the hallway and the vile smell of vomit coming from the pot plant by the door.
"It is too early for this shit" I grumbled under my breath. Ditching the bags at the door, I carefully etched around the clutter and headed to a closed door just off the living room. I began bashing on the door forcefully yelling each time my fist came into contact with the solid wood.
"Hey! Wake up! Hellllloooo! Anyone in there! Rise and shine sleeping beauty!"
"Ally, maybe we should just...." Jeremy's words were cut off by the sound of a loud grunt. Quickly turning back to the door I found a shirtless guy standing with a bright red mark on his cheek. Seething at me.
"Who the fuck are you and what do you want?"
Briefly taken back by the shirtless guy in front of me, I paused.
"Well? Sleeping beauty is up! The fuck do you want?" He yelled when he noticed my lack of response.
"I am Allegra Mastroianni, your new house bud, I have just gotten off a 15 hour flight and have slept for a total of 2 hours if that in the last 24 hours so if you could do me a solid tell me where my room is so I can go and sleep that would be much appreciated!"
A stone face greeted me and then a chuckle followed.
"Adam"
"What?" I snapped at him.
"My name is Adam" he smiled and I swear my heart stopped. I don't know whether it was the fact that I was tired or were sleep deprived or that he was God's gift to man.
Noticing my failure to connect my mouth to my brain Jeremy stepped in, "Hey man I am Jeremy this is Matt, and you've meet Al here, so what do you say? Wanna show us round quickly?"
Adam gave me a quick look up and down before giving us a slight nod, "Of course, gotta show the new house buds round right sweetheart?" his smirk was directed straight at me and my mouth flew open.
"Why you smug little-" Jeremy's big hand covered my mouth before I could deliver the rest of my statement.
"So, the tour?"
