CATES POV

I gasped, taking in the room that was before me. Dark leather couches surrounded a massive flat screen t.v. set, with tons of DVDs piled high on either side. The windows stretched all the way up to the ceiling, making the room not even need electric lights.

There was an open bar, which led into the kitchen, opposite of the window wall.

I heard a whisper, but I ignored it, still looking at these two rooms. The window had an amazing view of London, with big red buses going along the narrow streets and small cars driving on the wrong side of the street. Oh wait... diffrent country, diffrent driving laws.

Someone poked me. "Hmm?" I mumbled, really not paying attention to whatever they were saying. There was a sharp pain in my butt. I snapped my head up, accidently hitting Harry with my ponytail. "Oops sorry" I gave a guilty smile. "But maybe that wouldn't have happened if someone didn't pinch me." I glared at them and crossed my arms over my chest. I wasn't really mad at them, its just that they had the nerve to do it.

"Well somebody should've been listening to what we said!" Louis shouted. He copied me, crossing his own arms and pouting a bit.

Liam nodded "We only did ask about five times." I looked around at all their faces. Each had that same twinkle of amusement and annoyance in their eyes.

I ducked my head sheepishly "What did you ask?" I slowly walked towards the center of the room, debating on which couch to sit on.

"We were asking you if you liked this place." Zayn replied following me and plopping on the chair. I looked at him and then at the largest couch. I made my way to it and fell face first into it.

They laughed and I smiled into the soft leather. "So, we're taking it as a yes that you like it here?" Someone said, I hadn't figured out each of their voices yet.

I tried saying 'yes' but the couch muffled my voice. They laughed again so I just stuck my thumb up in the air.

"Wait till you see your room!"Niall yelled. I jumped off the couch and whipped my head towards him.

"What?!" I yelped. I wasn't expecting them to have a room for me yet because we just left Washington yesterday. In fact, I had only just met them yesterday or was it two days ago because of the time diffrence? Nice going world, now you've got me coonfused.

"Come on babe" Zayn took my hand. "Let's go show you." He smiled and led me down a small hallway and up a staircase.

I raised my eyebrows "Stairs? In an apartment?"

He chuckled "Yeah pretty common for two floor flats" What are flats? Doesnt he mean apartment? We stepped in front of a door at the top. "Now close your eyes"

"Wait hold o-" I started to protest but someones hands clamped over my eyes leaving me in darkness. I whined, "Not fair! Its like you don't trust me!

"We dont." they chorused.

"Trust is the most important for a strong relanionship" I muttered to myself.

I heard a door opening and some shuffling and whispers as I was pushed into a room, hands still tightly over my eyes. "On the count of three, we'll be releasing you." Someone said behind me. "One, two, three!" The hands were suddenly snatched of my eyes.
