As I he grabs my hand in his, he begins to take me to his apartment.

"Would you rather take the lift or the staircase?" Harry asks.

"Lift?" I giggle.

"Yeah, the lift or the stairs?" He asks again, staring into my eyes. I wonder what he's thinking under that curly mess of his.

"Oh.. you mean the elevator!" I laugh. "Let's race up the stairs!"

"Ok!" he responds.

Harry's POV

She is adorable. The way she laughs and when she smiles; she just lights up the room everywhere she is. I love how she randomly does things, like racing the stairs. It's funny but when I first saw her enter the bakery, she first looked a bit stuck up, but then we met eye to eye.  The way she shyly walked back over to Nina, blushing, I knew she wasn't so stuck up. Most stuck up girls that walk into the bakery, sees me as just another guy, but she looked at me differently. I know this is way too early, but I can already see myself falling for her...hard. I also know that I have to protect her.

"You ready?" she asks.

"Yeah!" I answer, "You know I'm going to beat you, love." I tell her.

"Haha! Yeah right, babe." she winks at me.

"Ready...set........GO!" she yells as she darts extremely fast up the steps! I'm not far behind her.

"Ashford.......huh....tenth .... floor!" I yell as we both make it to the fourth floor. Damn she's fast!

"Oh my god! You have got to be kidding me! she laughs and begins to speed up the stairs.

"Nope!" I say, as I run right past her. She grabs my shoulder trying to get by, but, She's too small to push past me. I begin to laugh at her attempt.

I keep running up the stairs and decide to turn my head to make sure, she's still behind me. She's gone! I look ahead up the stairs and she's already on the sixth floor!

...

When I finally catch up to her on the ninth floor, she's just about to take her step, on floor ten. I end up slamming behind her. I grab her by the hips and carry her up on the final step.

"Ha,ha! Very funny! But you know, I won, Harry!" she giggles.

"Ok, whatever you want to believe." I smirk.

I then put her down and grab her hand, as I lead her down to my apartment.

When we arrived at the front door, there's yelling on the other side.

"Um... Who's in there?" Ashford asks.

"Some friends of mine. We share this flat." I tell her.
