It was nearly five PM when I was walking over to Jamie's house. Me and Jamie had texted a little bit this morning and we both decided to have a cup of tea at his house. I was a little nervous to be honest, but I was excited.

I took a deep breath before knocking at his door. It didn't take him too long to open the door. He had a bright smile on his face, when he saw me.

"Hey Diana, come in", he said stepping behind the door. I also greeted him, before I made my way inside the house.

I followed Jamie into his living room and we both sat down on his sofa. I looked around me.

His living room wasn't really big but it was really pretty and cozy. Then right next to the sofa I spotted an electric guitar. I assumed this was Jamie's guitar. It looked very cool and I really wanted to see Jamie play on it. Maybe I could convince him to play something for me.

"So how are you doing today?", I heard him say after a while.

"Very good, thank you. What about you Jamie?", I said as I turned to look at him.

"I'm also doing well. Thanks." , he said and gave me a smile.

Jamie was really pretty and I really adored his blue eyes. He was wearing a black T-Shirt and his hair was styled.

I watched Jamie, as he stood up and made his way to the shelf that was standing next to the TV. He took out a vinyl and placed it on the record player. Just a little while after, I heard quiet music come from it.

"I've always wanted to have a record player", I looked at it with a smile on my face.

Jamie let out a little chuckle.

"My dad got me this, when I was a kid. I never really understood why people liked record players so I didn't use it that much.. but then just a few years later I started getting into music and now I'm very thankful that my dad gave this to me"

"That's amazing. I would never turn it off, if I had one"

We both let out a little laugh.

"This is yours, right?", I asked, pointing at the guitar.

He nodded his head as he sat back down on the sofa.

"I can play something for you later, if you want to"

I gave him a bright smile "Really? That would be amazing"

"Yes, sure. Do you want a cup of tea?", Jamie offered.

"Yeah. Should I help you?"

"No it's alright" he gave me a smile before he stood up again and left the living room.

He came back with two cups in his hands and placed mine in front of me. I thanked him and started warming my hands on the hot cup. Even though it was summer and it was very warm outside, my hands were always cold for some reason.

"You used to live in Sheffield right?", I asked him to break the silence between us.

"Yeah. I really miss it there but I also like it here in California. It's just very different though.."

"Why did you move here?"

"We thought we could finish college here and then try to do something with music, like I told you"

"Yeah, right... I really would like to go to Sheffield once, or the UK in general"

"I will take you with me, the next time I go to visit my family", he said and let out a little chuckle. It was probably just a joke but the imagination of it really made me happy somehow.
