Taking me with it (An Ed Sheeran FanFic)

Chapter Three: He may not be the cutest thing

I walk through the dark streets of London and finally reach my father and my flat. I unlock the door and go in, and up the stairs, to go to my room. I turn on the lights and grabs some pajamas and go into the bathroom. I hop into the shower, hurrying so I can climb into my bed and read about ancient Greece.

I wash my hair and just let the hot water  run over my body. After 20 minutes or so, i get out and switch into my long t-shirt and short shorts. I pad over to my bed and slide beneath the sheets, with my textbook in hand. I tried reading it but all I could see is Ed walking off into the unknown. Is he staying with his parents? Friends? Family? Himself? In a flat? In a house? On the Streets? Where? At some point I drift off to sleep with this mysterious boy on my mind, the history book left forgotten on my lap.

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz begins to blast from my ipod speakers, begging me to get up. I wake up more tired than ever, as I knew that I had tossed and turned in my sleep. I grab a pair of my Yoga pants from Victoria's Secret and my Peter's Pub shirt, which is my work shirt. I run a brush through my hair, and turn on my straightner.

While that is heating up, I apply my make up. Using my Urban Decay Naked Pallete, I put warm gold colors onto my eyes, then line my top lashline with eyeliner, then my bottom waterline lightly, then I apply mascara to both, my top and bottom eyelashes.

I quickly pull the straightener through my long honey brown hair and when I finish straightening it, I throw my bangs back with a couple of bobby pins, and finally think, 'I'm ready to go to work.'

I run back into my room and grab my backpack filled with all my textbooks and my Macbook pro. I run over to my bed and throw in the history textbook into it as well.

I go down the stairs and grab a slice of toast and a travel mug full of coffee.

"Bye dad! Love you!" I yell as I walk out of the door and begin to walk towards the bar.

The whole way there I am thinking of work and how I will be able to go to my favorite coffee shop, Bailey's, after I finish washing the last of those glasses. 

I open up the shop and walk in the door, and see it looks just how I left it last night. I pick up the last of the ten glasses and slowly begin to clean them once more, waiting until my bestfriend, Sierra, comes to the shop, who has a morning shift. 

"Allie! Aubrey is coming back to London tomorrow!" Sierra says to me excitedly. Aubrey is my off and on boyfriend. We currently are off, but not in a bad way. He also graduated early, but instead of waiting to go to Uni like me, he went right away. The thing is, his parents are rich while my dad and I work for everything we have. We thought it would be best to break up so Aubrey could expirience college with out having lingering thoughts about a girlfriend back home. He has only been away for two months, although we still talk every day, I still miss him like crazy.

"Seriously?!" I ask excitedly, disbelieving her.

"Yeah!" She says and I feel a big smile stretch across my face. 

I can feel myself blushing as Sierra comes closer to me, playfully swatting me on the arm. I finish up the last of the glasses. "Sie, now he is all I'll be thinking about! How am I going to study at Bailey's now? Now I will never get into university." I laugh playfully.

"If you don't make it into University, neither will our whole class. Plus, you could always stay here and help me!" She jokes as I gently shake my head. 

"Are you pulling a double today?" I ask her and she nods and groans.

"Allie, I'm going to die. I know it's going to be busy, especially if your dad got music to play here tonight. Did he?"

"I think so. Some boy came in around 9:30 last night and talked to him, his name is, I think it was... Ed Sheeran?"

"He came in here? No he didn't. you're lying to me Allie..." Sierra says.

"No? Why?" 

"Allie! If you went out sometimes, you would know that Ed sheeran is one of the biggest unknown artists around here in London. He's really big here in London, at least." 

"Are you sure we're talking acout the same guy, Sierra? Red hair, blue eyes, and stutters?" I question her.

"That's him. We will be packed like crazy. He may not be the cutest thing, but that boy can sing." As she finishes her sentence, the bell being to sound, and in steps in Ed Sheeran.

"Hello! Welcome to Peter's Pub." Sierra says excitedly as Ed Sheeran walks over. 

"H-hello. Is Peter in yet?" He asks gently. 

"No, but I can phone him and tell him you're in." Sierra says and goes into the office, leaving me out with him.

"Good morning Allie." He nods towards me.

"Good morning Ed." I say and turn back to the bar, not wanting anymore conversation to continue.

"You seemed happy to have me yesterday, but not today." He notices nonchalantly. 

'Aubrey changed.' I think to myself, "I'm still excited for you to be here. I heard you are huge here in London, not that I go out much." I say and smile at him.

"Maybe I could change that Allie." He says quietly as I go back to looking at the bar. I have Aubrey to think about. I can't believe he is coming home tomorrow.

"Peter said he will be right in." Sierra says as she comes back, "Can I get you anything?" She asks politely.

"Chi tea?" He asks and she nods, and begins to make it.

"Thank you ma'am." He says polietly.

"So what are you here for?" Sierra asks, although I already told her why.

"I was hoping that I could play at this joint for a little while. I heard it's the best place around." Ed says and pointedly looks at me and smiles, although I only know it's time before Sierra sinks her claws into him.

"Well thanks Ed, make sure to pull that card on my Dad and you'll forsure get to play here." I laugh, and Sierra and Ed join me. 

Sierra hands him the tea, just as my dad walks in, "Come on Ed, step into my office." My dad says as Ed takes a sip of the tea and sets it on the bar, following my dad. 

The door is closed and Sierra begins to gush, "Allie! Can I have him please? I know he was fllirting with you but.. He is so adorable! He has the voice and the personality, all we would have to do is dye his hair and he's be perfect for me!"

"You have him Sierra, I have Aubrey." I say dreamily. 

She laughs. "Okay, I'm going to head over to Bailey's! Have fun pulling a double! I'll see you later tonight!" I say as I walk out of the door.

 I walk through the icy streets of London until I reach the small coffee shop, located between two adorable botique shops. I pull open the door to escape the winter chil, and Bailey, the shop owner, waves to me. I wave back and go to my signature spot infront the the window, sitting at a table in the corner, right next to a plug in. 

I plug in my Macbook Pro, and pull out my History textbook. I set out my pen,pencil, and highlighter, along with my notebook, all stratigically placed. I look at my creation and smile, satiffied.

I walk over to Bailey to get my coffee because I can't study with out coffee. "Large mocha please?" I say while handing her a $5. She nods, takes the money, and begins to make it. She finishes quickly with ease, and hands me the coffee. I head back to my spot and start to bury myself within my studies.
