Even If Forever Doesn't Work

II

"Don't tell him I told you that though. He'll kill me." Danny adds.

"Noted."  I assured. "Where are they by the way?" I added.

"Oh, they were off to rent a moving truck. So we haul off all these things to the flat." Danny answers.

We continued with the search of furniture, we looked for a couch, bed frames, coffee tables, night stands. I might've even gotten myself a few trinkets here and there. I now have a new lamp.

"Hey," Liam greeted.

"Hey, what's up?" I reply.

"Do you wanna help me paint the apartment instead?" He offers.

"Sure!" I said and we left Danny and Edward at the flea market.

He lined up the edges of the floors with newspapers. He brings out cans of paint and mixes them up to just the right color.

"Ok, should we start?" He suggests. I give him an eager nod and we started working on the apartment.

I had to change to some old jeans and shirt so it wouldn't be much of a waste if I get paint on them.

Liam chatted with me as we painted. He told me about how he learned a bunch of this stuff and that he was so thankful that I was helping. Liam was the mature one of the three he was this leader figure of the group who held everything together.

After a while we decided to take a break. I lied down on the floor because I was weird that way. He walks up to my head towering over me. He looks down at me and smiles, a cheeky smirk blotted all over his face. He takes off his shirt, wiping the sweat off his face while he does and just lies down beside me. If I knew that he'd do that I never would've lied down! We just lay there beside cans of paint and heaps of dripped on newspaper.

If I had an inner god well he'd be squealing his balls out right about now, because goodness that tummy is nothing but yummy.

"Wanna get some lunch?" And as any cliche moment my stomach grumbles on cue.

"I'll take that as a yes." He said with a silent chuckle.

We went down for lunch and after we met up with the other two. We finished painting the rooms waited a bit to let them dry and soon decided to move their stuff in.

They parked the truck by the entrance, and we somehow managed to fit everything through the door. I was helping with the moving in. We had couches, beds, tables, chairs, pots and pans; basically everything essential.

"Whoo!" Liam let out as he collapsed on the couch. They were officially moved in.

Pop the champagne!

"Dinner?" Danny asks the group.

"Oh yes please."

Pizza and beer was the dinner for tonight. We were sat out on my balcony eating pizza and lingering out in the cold New York breeze. We talked and talked about how crazy it was that they were here.

"Thanks, Rich, for all the help." Danny said.

"Ok guys, we should really get some rest. I will clean up, Richie go to bed and you guys go to your apartment!" Edward says as he pushed the two out of the room. The two mouthed a thank you before disappearing into their apartment.
