Chapter 1 - Home

Hey guys, I've been toying with some ideas

This chapter is just a pilot

If I get enough follows and reviews I will continue writing, if not I'll go back to the drawing board.

"Honey I'm home" I holler at the top of my lungs before kicking the door shut. Those words are met with a loud shriek as Sara flies around the corner hurling her small curvy body at me. I'm given approximately two seconds to drop my bags in anticipation of impact.

The breath gets knocked right out of me as we both go crashing on to the floor. I'm now sprawled across the floor on my back with my best friend and roommate spread out on top of me in our brand-sparking new apartment. There's a manic toothy smile on her face, I can't help but beam right back up at her because it is so freaking good to see her gorgeous face.

It's been a whole six months since we've been in the same room together. I spent my sophomore year of college studying abroad in England London.

Needless to say, it was just as amazing and spectacular as you'd imagine it would be. Even thinking about it gave me butterflies in my tummy and a little pang of nostalgia.

"Damn now that's sexy! Should we take this upstairs?"

We both glance up from the ground to stare at the tall, good looking male grinning stupidly, or maybe the correct term would be creeping. His eyes slide over our intertwined bodies, he's definitely trying to embed this moment into his memory. For all eternity.

Through giggles, Sara clears her throat. She scolds him brashly "Stop been a creep or I'll so make you pay". To emphasize this point, she gives her bum a little shake in her extremely tight skinny jeans and her boyfriend groans in response.

"You're a complete nightmare, you know that right? He sniggers. He's tall, well over six foot. He has a broad chest and shoulders. He's definitely all man.

Sara had spent the whole six months I'd been away telling me every single detail about him over skype. Tommy Merlyn this, Tommy Merlyn that. She'd taken great pride in telling me how hot he was and needless to say she wasn't exaggerating. He's pretty damn hot, if you're into the muscular, shouldering type, which I totally am.

Since Sara isn't showing any signs of removing her body from mine, I'm forced to make the first move

"You might want to remove yourself before Tommy here turns us into an art exhibition", "I'm joking of course"

"Please stay where you are by all accounts" he whistles and continues to ogle us.

I pull myself up from the ground and Sara wraps her arms around me.

"God Liss, I've missed you"

She does her very best to squeeze the very life out of me.

"I'm glad to be home too" I grin, trying my best to sound convincing. There's a fairly large part of me that wishes I was still drinking coffee in some kitsch little café in Camden.

I blink and realize that Tommy and Sara are both staring at me intently. "I realize that I haven't introduced myself, you must be Tommy. I'm Felicity, Felicity Smoak. Sara's best friend"

His grin grows wider making him appear even more attractive than I initially thought and according to Sara this ex playboy billionaire treats her like a princess, which is exactly how she deserves to be treat she's gorgeous, smart, loyal and the best friend anyone could ever wish for.

"The one and only" he throws a cheeky wink in my direction for good measure. "Of course I know who you are Felicity, Sara's spent the last six months speaking about you. I feel like I know your life story already"

"I sure have, don't you ever leave me again Liss" I'm not normally an emotional person but Sara always manages to pull at my heart strings.

Sara and I have been best friends since we were 3. We first met when we wrestled over a Barbie doll at preschool, she won of course and the rest is history. We decided to apply to the same college so we could bunk together and luckily it worked in our favor as we both managed to secure a place at M.I.T.

Sara moves closer towards Tommy and he places a singular kiss on her forward. They both look ridiculously happy together. I'm so happy that Sara has finally found someone who really truly appreciates her.

"Do you to mind? I think I may just throw up from cuteness overload"

They both giggle playfully and I stick my finger down my throat as though I'm going to barf.

"So Tommy are you a permanent fixture at our apartment?"

Sara interrupts "didn't I mention Tommy lives in the apartment three doors down with two other guys. There all on the same football team"

"Nope, you totally didn't mention that when we applied for this apartment. That will make things super convenient"

"Yup" Sara grins sincerely proud of herself.

"So I hate to break up the reunion, but which room is mine. I seriously need to start unpacking I'm pretty exhausted"

Sara squeals and jumps out of Tommy's arms before leading me down the crisp white hallway. I trail after her.

She gestures forward at the end of the corridor into a sunny little room. She does her best hair hostess impression showing me all the rooms' amenities. My favorite thing is the huge window that allows sunlight to pour in and the ridiculously huge closet for all my clothes and mad shoe collection.

"It's perfect. I literally can't wait to get into that king sized bed. I've been sleeping in a single for the past few months and now I can literally roll around if I want to"

"Hey I suppose that's one of the up sides of been single" Sara grins

Single should be my middle name. I attract the wrong kind of guys. I'd had my fair share of dates with British boys back in London but they never led anywhere. It turns out British boys are just as confusing as the ones back home.

"So me and Tommy are going to leave you to unpack and have cat nap, if you need us just holler"

I nod my head and watch as Tommy and Sara make their way back down the corridor.
