Changing Avery

Chapter Seven - The Old Me

‘I’m so tired’ yawned Parker, resting his head on my shoulder, obviously coming down from last night’s concert high. Patting him lightly on the head, I pushed the double strength cup of coffee that I had into his hands, urging him to drink it.

‘Cheers’ he said sipping it. We were sitting out on the terrace that lead out from my room.

‘No worries’ I said resting my head on his. Looking out at the view in front of us I couldn’t help but catch my breath. I still couldn’t believe I was in London! It was beautiful and pristine and just magnificent. Everything about it was just ... ahhhh! There were really no words to describe it.

‘What are you thinking about?’ asked Parker.

‘This place’ I said ‘It’s gorgeous’

‘I knew you would like it!’ he said.

‘I just can’t believe I’m here’ I said in awe.

‘You’ve been here for three days. Believe it’ he said smirking.

‘I know’ I said ‘Thanks for bringing me here’ I added.

‘Oh that’s alright’ he said with a funny southern accent ‘but enough with this mushy stuff! Apparently Asher has something he would like to show us’ he said, looking down at his watch ‘Oh shit we were supposed to be there five minutes ago!’ he said grabbing my hand and yanking me back into the suite. Walking down the hall towards his and Asher’s room, he tripped on the carpet, falling down face first and taking me down with him.

‘Oh my God! Are you alright!’ he said, searching my face ‘Whats your name? How many fingers am I holding up? Holy crap Colton will kill me if I break you!’ he stressed. I just laughed at him.

‘I didn’t think it was possible for someone to be even clumsier then I am!’ I said laughing ‘But you! You just tripped on nothing!’ I said cracking up.

‘Are you hysterical? How bad did you hit your head?’ he asked disbelievingly. Shoving him in the shoulder, he soon too started to laugh. Getting up, I held my hand out for him, helping him to his feet. Walking into his and Asher’s suite, Parkers laughing ceased almost immediately.

‘Diana?’ Parker said excitedly. Looking up I was immediately greeted with the sight of an extremely leggy blonde.

‘Get over here you silly thing!’ she said in a heavy British accent. He immediately ran over to her and lifted her up into a big bear hug, spinning her around.  

‘I cannot believe your here!’ he said laughing.

‘You can’t believe I’m here! I live here! I can’t believe you’re here, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?’ she said slapping him playful in the arm. 

‘I’m sorry!’ he said bashfully.

‘Well it wasn’t just you, it was all these idiots too’ she said, leaning over and pinching Hudson’s cheeks. She was very pretty! She had beautiful long hair that shone like a golden curtain and piercing blue eyes that put my simple green ones to shame. She was tall and slender and had curves in all the right places. Jealousy flared up inside me much to my embarrassment.

‘And you are?’ she said. It took me a minute to realise she was talking to me.

‘Oh’ I said ‘I’m Avery’

‘I’m Diana’ she said with a warm smile, holding her hand out for me to shake.

‘Yes, this is Avery, my girlfriend’ said Colton, all of a sudden at my side.
