I Just Keep Falling

Chapter 2

Daisy's P.O.V.

Once we landed in London I went straight to bag check-out and got my suitcases. "Hello again," said a voice behind me. I turn around and Manny's standing close to me.

I roll my eyes at him and grab one of my suitcases by its handle. "So," he says clearing not understanding I'm trying to ignore him," Where are you staying in London?"

"That's none of your business," I say back to him while struggling to carry all of my suitcases. "Do you need some help?" He reaches down and grabs two of my suitcases. "Thanks." I say

"I take it that by your accent you're American," He suggests. "And I take it from your accent you're from around here," I retort back to him.

"You are correct m'lady," He retorts back with a smirk. I take my suitcases from him as soon as we get to my dads rental car. "Are you ready Daisy?" Asked my dad grabbing the suitcases from me.

I answer with a snort and climb into the passengers seat shutting the door. Manny taps his knuckles against the glass,rolling my eyes I roll down the window.

"Erm,if you ever get lost in London don't hesitate to give me a call." He hands me a piece of paper,and I see his cheeks are flushed a deep scarlet.

"Okay,thanks." I'm about to roll up the window again when he says, "wait." Confused I roll down the window again. This time his dad is standing along with him.

"Hello Daisy," says his father. "Erm,hello," I say to him. "I was wondering if you ever had a chance we could talk over coffee sometime over your college choices? I work in one of the best colleges London has. Think about it and let me know." He hands me his card and briskly walks away.

Manny walks with him,turning only slightly to give me an awkward wave goodbye. I return it before rolling up my window and turning my music on full blast.

I fell asleep the entire ride to the flat my dad had gotten for us. Once inside it was breath taking. The living room was furnished with black plush couches and loveseats,accompanied with a red carpet, and dark brown wood coffee table.

On the wall was a 60 inch flat screen with a few pictures of beautiful paintings.I walked past the living room and went up the spiral stairs. My dad had to leave for work so he said I could choose whichever room I wanted.

I walked all the way down to the end of the hallway and choose the room to the left. Stepping in the room was even more breath taking then the living room. It had a queen sized bed with a soft, plush, white duvet covering it. On top the most softest pillows in colors of green,gray, and blue made it look sophisticated.

It had a computer table with a laptop already there,and a printer as well. The closet was the biggest one I've ever seen.

I settled into the room,by putting all my clothes and shoes into the closet, I hung up all my pictures of when I was little including the ones with my mom, then I grabbed the suitcase with all my makeup and went into the bathroom in my room.

First I put all my stuff away like towels, luffa, etc. I grabbed my green apple shampoo and body wash and hopped into the shower. I took a quick shower,once I got out and blow dried my hair, leaving it its naturally curly state.considering it was one in the afternoon I put on my makeup.

I started with my foundation,added some powder so my face wouldn't shine. Then I moved on to my eyes I decided to go simple since I probably wouldn't do much today. I did my eyeliner, some mascara,and a faint gold eye shadow. For my lips I did some bubble gum pink lipstick. Pleased with my face,I walked out to my room.

I removed the towel from my body and went to my closet. I put on my matching lacy underwear and bra from Victoria's Secret. For my outfit I choose my gold sweater that said Paris on it and matched it with some black leather jeans, accompanied with my white toms.

I turned the light off as I grabbed my purse,and headed downstairs. Sending a message to my dad saying I was going out,I grabbed the key my dad had given me and headed out the door.

I dug out the piece of paper Manny had given me with his number on it. My heart raced as I dialed the number. Why was my heart racing? He picked up on the second ring. "Hello?" He asked. "Hey Manny I don't know if you remember me? Umm this Daisy from the airport." My voice came out squeakier than I had intended it to.

There was silence on the line before he said, " Oh yeah I remember you, love what do you need?" "Well," I replied " I kind of need you to be a tour guide for me since I don't know anything about London." My heart started to beat faster.

"Sure thing Dasiy just give me your address and I'll come get you to show you around." He replied.
