We made it to Westminster to visit our favorite spot in London. We look up at Big Ben and take in the beautiful site. I take Bray by the hand to guide her closer to the clock. *snap* I turn around and see bray holding up her camera."Come on, let's do a selfie this time and then you have to get one with me walking up to it! It looks really cool" she laughs at her self and holds the camera up while we both smile. Visiting the big Ben was on top of the list to visit when we moved. We were really excited to visit after we talked about it over last night's dinner. We slept until 5 last night and ordered take out. Sleeping all day was well needed after Friday night's party. It was now Sunday, just becoming noon when we arrived to our favorite destination. Once I took the photo of her walking up, we decided to go get lunch.

"This place looks cute! Let's eat here!" After walking 6 minutes, we stop in front of a pub named, Red Lions. "This looks good!" We walk inside and take a seat. "So what do you plan on getting? Bray looks up at me through her big eyelashes. I look back down at the menu, taking my bottom lip in between my teeth. "Ummmmm. I'm thinking the curried chicken wings. That looks amazing" she nods her head in agreement. "I'm going to run to the lou! She exclaims as she air quotes 'lou' and giggles. "I love using the British term" she claps her hands in excitement and raises her eyebrows at me. "Okay, I'll be back!" She walks away as the waitress walks up to take my order, me ordering for Bray also. I dig my phone out of my back pocket. 1 text from the main person I missed most.

Ty Ty - Hey Lil sis! Hope you caught up on sleep! The rest of your stuff should be at your door around 11 am your time! Love you xx

I smile to myself and text out a quick response pressing send after.

Okay! Thank you, Ty! It really means a lot (:

My phone lights up indicating I have a new text

Ty Ty - Anything for my baby sis. Good morning xx or afternoon? Ha.

I set it back down when the waitress brings back our drinks with Bray following behind her as she sits back down in her chair. She gives me a smile, pulling out her phone. "Its so weird being 8 hours ahead. This time difference thing is really screwing me up!" She huffs in frustration. I nod my head in agreement "Ty just texted me. He must be getting ready for the office. He insist he should be the first one in the building since he owns it" I make a face that resembles a baby hating a can of baby food. She laughs at my face. "He has his reasons! I'm happy the business is going well! Do you still get a percent of the sales?" She questions. "Yes and that's what I'm going to use for the bills. But I think I want to pick up something to keep my mind busy. I've always wanted to try makeup." She smiles big "yeah! That sounds like the highschool Avey I know! What do you want to do?" She looks at me curiously taking a sip from her lemon lime cooler. "I think just the basic. Just to say I know how to do something besides business sales." I take a sip from my screw driver. Looking over the puband taking in the British people around me. "Its pretty nice in here. We should definitely come back."

We make it back to the flat. I throw my bag on the counter, walking to my room to change. "I texted louis about the party next weekend" braylee shouts from the living room. "And?" I poke my head out, pulling my shirt over my head. "He said a ton of people were planning on coming since we're the new kids on the block!" I walk out of the room wearing a white rolling stones shirt and black Nike shorts. My hair in a bun on top of my head. I walk into the kitchen, pulling out a bottle of water. "That's good. I'm excited! When should we start planning?" I lean on the counter in front of Bray who is sitting at the bar in a high bar stool. "Definitely tomorrow so we can go buy all the stuff." She gives me a nod, typing away on her IPhone 6. "Louis just said he can show us a party store downtown tomorrow." She smiles as she says it. Typing away quickly to the brunette hunk waiting on the other line. "Are you crushing on the neighbor!" I grin widely pushing on her arm. "What! No!" She looks down smiling big. "You totally are, freak! Geez! Not even a week and you're crushing!" I yell. "So what! Not like anything is going to happen!" She squeals. I walk into the living room putting on MTVUk. "Let's watch some telly before bed. I want to see all the new gossip!" I take a seat on our large white couch. Bray coming in the room to lay down on the extended couch end. "Okay. I like how you used to the british term. Makes me feel like we're from here!" She says excitedly. She looks over at me to speak again. "Today was fun. I really enjoyed it. It was a well needed girls day!" She smiles. "Yeah, it was good. I'm glad our dreams came true. Its amazing living in my favorite place with my favorite person. I'm happy for us." I smile down to her. This was definitely how I pictured everything when we planned on moving here. We have an incredible flat that we both paid for, our favorite vehicles, all because of my amazing brother and I got a reliable best friend, I can now call my roommate. Life couldn't get any better. I notice my phone light up next to me with an unknown number popping up.
