Start from the beginning
                                    

"I wanted to surprise you. I'm not sure how to say this without coming off creepy and obsessive, but we moved to London." Liz said.

"Wait, what?" I asked, not believing that this was real life.

"Julie and Caitlin thought it would be easier if we moved to London, being that Syco records is here. And I was a little nervous because of leaving my family, but we're here. What do you think?" She asked.

"Of you living in London? Holy shit, it's the best thing in the entire world. Our second date is going to be so much easier now. I can't believe that you're living in London. Where in London are you?" I asked, bringing my other hand to her back. I couldn't stop myself from rubbing my hands up and down her back. I couldn't believe that she was actually here.

Liz scrunched up her nose a little as she thought. "I honestly have no idea. Everything is so different here. And I didn't know that you don't use Euros here." She said.

"Of course you didn't," I laughed, "God, I still can't believe you're here. We should have our second date soon, anything you want and it's me treat." I said.

"That sounds wonderful, but I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks. We're going to start working on a single. I'm so excited. I can't believe it. Oh and you'll never guess what happened at the airport. It was so weird. People kept looking at me and taking pictures and it was so damn weird." Liz rambled.

"Well you better get used to, you won't have much privacy. Do you want to get out of here? I don't really feel like listening to them joke about us being together. They won't give us a break." I said, nervously waiting for her answer. I didn't want to do anything with her, I just wanted to be alone with her and not have our friends joke about the fact that I won't take my hands of Liz, because I know that I won't be.

"Uh, yeah sure. Let me just grab my coat. Oh! I can show you my new apartment, or flat as you all call it. Plus it'll give you an idea on where I live." She said and I laughed at her adorable Maine accent.

"Sounds great. I'll get your coat, what does it look like?" I said, slowly stepping back.

"It's black with wool on the hood. I'm going to go say bye to the girls." Liz said. I nodded and quickly stepped closer to her, kissing her forehead. I stepped away and looked down at her, watching as she slowly opened her eyes and shyly smiled at me.

We both started walking towards the living room and I couldn't stop myself from setting my hands on her hips as we walked, me walking behind her. Liz laughed and put her hands over mine, intertwining our hands. I laughed and pulled her back to my front, wrapping my arms around her stomach.

"There's the happy couple. And as touchy as ever I see." Julie teased from her spot next to Harry.

"Shut up." Liz laughed as I leaned down and whispered in her ear that I was going to get her coat.

"See look at that, secret whispers." Julie said next. I rolled my eyes and walked over towards the closet that Liam hangs jackets. I opened the door and looked for the jacket that Liz described. I recognized all the jackets except three, so it was easy to find Liz's. I laughed at how adorably childish the jacket was and then closed the door, turning to go back to Liz.

"Oh and see that, they are leaving. Just play it safe, use protection." Julie said. Liz's cheeks got bright red and I felt bad for her being embarrassed. I walked over to her and reached out, squeezing her hand.

"Leave me girl alone." I said as I held out her coat for her. She slide her arms through the sleeves and I pulled the jacket, setting it on her shoulders before turning her around.
