Claire's P.O.V.

         "Ready?" Megan asked. 

"Yeah, let's go." Oh I should probably mention that Meggie was wearing a black crop top and a red skater skirt, with black pumps. I was going to have to remember to steal that skirt later. Her hair was half up half down, and she looked pretty causual compared to my spiral curls and fancy dress. 

         We walked into my living room. ( It's pretty big, with one wall completely made of glass, that opened up onto a balcony. My kitchen was of relative size, but the bar was pretty long with about 10 stools lining its side. It was definitely my favorite part of the house.  Currently, it was filled with people. 

A lot of people. 

They were mostly friends of mine or acquaintances, and some of them were friends of Megan's (which was to be expected.) It was a evening filled with birthday hats, friendly chats, and many, many hugs. Megan had bought a chocolate fudge ice cream cake, which was probably the best cake of  all time. 

         After opening presents, and playing a few games including Never Have I Ever, Truth or Dare, and Would You Rather (Yes we were 17-23 year olds and we played games, get over it.) I was completely ready to crash. I made my way to the couch and sank down by the fireplace. Soon enough, I was snoring contentedly. 

                                                                ************

 I was awoken by my sister's familiarly screeching whistle. I opened my eyes slowly and deliberately, they landed on a man wearing dark jeans and a gray T-shirt. He had warm brown eyes and tan skin, and he looked oddly familar. Holy shit!  Sitting straight up, I nearly knocked him in the head as he was leaning over me with a concerned look on his gorgeous face.. "Sorry." I said.

"It's okay." He replied with a smile. "I'm Liam." I nearly said 'I know' but I caught myself. He put his hand out and we shook.

"Claire." I smiled at him. I was still totally freaked though. I just dreamt about this guy the night before and now he was standing in my living room? What? 

Megan cleared her throat. "Liam here thought you were having a bad dream so he asked me to wake you up." 

"Which I'm sure you were more than happy to do." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Sister, I am deeply offended by your outlook on my intentions!" She put her hand to her chest in mock surprise. Liam giggled. Yes, giggled. I felt my heart squeeze and and 'awwww' building up, but I pushed it down and settled for blushing.  I thanked him for waking me and he went back to the party. I couldn't believe that he was real. 

         After the party we were so tired and decided to leave cleaning up until tomorrow. After we brushed our teeth and put our pjs on (she just borrowed some of mine.) We layed on the bed talking about mutual friends and gossiping. Before i turned the lights out I said, "Thanks for the amazing party, I dont think i'll ever forget it." 

"That's what sisters are for, Cece."
