Emilia a 21 year old woman has a profession as a world traveler. She travels somewhere in England and is only planning to stay a year, thinking nothing will keep her there. But she was wrong..
Kinda enemies to lovers
I wake up not to the nice sound of birds, but to my phone ringing. I'm so tired I'll just ignore it. Wait what if it's dad.. I bounced up and grabbed it. It was one of those 'hey give me your credit card info' calls. "UGH" I fell back onto my pillow staring at the ceiling. Then I hear Avery talking so loud. How does Tom deal with her. I don't talk loud in the morning. I was drowning in thoughts about what had happened between us. That night we danced in the rain, when he fell asleep on me during the movie.. Did that mean nothing to him? I hear a knock.
"Em, you up?" Him. Ugh I couldn't stand him right now.
"Yep." I kind of yelled.
"Okay, well um I'm going to a friends, Avery is coming with me. Want to join us?" Maybe I should get out of this room.
"Sure, let me get changed."
"Ok, wear something nice!" Of course I was going to. I picked out this kind of dressy, but more of the show-off side. Didn't feel like wearing a dress.

I walked to the bathroom, and did my daily routine. Walking out of the bathroom I got a text from dad.
Dad

"Wow you look great Emilia" I'm surprised he would say that in front of her.
"Thanks" I said sharply, still feeling played with. I wasn't his toy. I get it his girlfriend wasn't here, but he acted so flirty. He is totally not who I remember.
"Time to go!!" Avery glared at me then at Tom, changing her facial expression. What a two-faced bitch.
- skip to when we are at the party-
Tom's POV
Emilia was acting distant, I'm not sure why but I don't like it. We walked into the party and I could see almost all the eyes fall onto her. Avery grabbed my arm and placed it on her hip. She was getting annoying.
"Tommy, can we get a drink?" Only Em could call me 'Tommy'.
"Uh, sure." She grabbed my hand and ran. When I last looked back, a guy walked over to Emilia.
Emilia's POV
"Hi, I'm Corey." Two can play that game Tom.
"Emilia." I smiled.
"What's a pretty girl like you standing here all alone?" Such a cheesy line.
"Oh just waiting for you to get me a drink" I winked at him, I had to play along.
"Oh really?" He smirked then placed his hand on my mid back. "Well then, let's go get you one." We walked towards the bar and I ordered my drink.
"So, Em, what do you do for a living?" Only Tom could call me 'Em' but I guess he wasn't my problem anymore, he was with Avery.
"I'm a traveler, what about you?" Behind him was Tom and Avery. Oh god why did I come.
"I work in real estate" Kinda boring but eh.
"Sounds interesting, lets go sit at a table." He walked me over to one and pulled out my seat.
"Here" I guess he wasn't half bad? But I think my plan was working, Tom was staring at us.
We sat down and were talking a lot. Corey was interesting and things weren't that bad! He made me kind of forget that Tom's eyes were on me. What a player, pay attention to your girlfriend.
"Well I've got to go" we both stood up. He moved a fallen hair out of my face.
"What could I do to get your number, beautiful?" I smiled.
"Hand me your phone and you'll see." He handed me his phone and I added my phone number into his.
"Lovely, I'll be texting you." Was he going to kiss me goodbye? And my question was answered as his lips touched mine. I wasn't going to let go, I still felt Tom's eyes on me. I guess I won at the game he was playing huh? Corey smiled at me then walked off into the night. I smirked and sat down, I needed to find somewhere else to stay. I could not stand Tom, his energy, his girlfriend, his flirty words, and how he thought that it didn't hurt. I scrolled on Airbnb and found a cute apartment just above a café. "Perfect, and just a reasonable price."
"What?" Tom had walked over.
"Nothing. Go back to your girlfriend." I cringed at the word.
"I- whatever." He walked away.
Tom's POV
What the hell?! I was watching the guy touch her, talk to her, flirt with her. I wanted to do that. She was supposed to be mine. Avery was talking but I couldn't pay attention, glad she didn't notice. I just stared at Emilia, and him. Ew gosh, how could she. Then he kissed her. What the fuck?! I'm pissed, but I have no right reason to be. I mean I'm with Avery, not that I'm happy about that. But what? I hate her. How could she kiss him right in front of me. I hate her. The guy left and I wanted to confront her so I walked over. I heard her speaking to herself as she was scrolling on... Airbnb? What the hell?
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. Go back to your girlfriend." Ugh how I hated that word. Why was she so pissed!
I can't handle her anymore, "I- whatever." I walked away.
