London Boy

Nana and Papa

September 20th, 8:07 am.
Willows POV

I wake up to the familiar sound of my alarm go off for work. I get out of bed and walk the familiar path to my bathroom changing for work and putting on light mascara and highlighter. I decided to wear black leggings and a sage green sweater. I put on my name tag walking out of the bathroom making sure to turn off the lights as well. I decide that this morning I'll leave a bit early and go to the coffee shop on the corner. I grab my purse and head out the door making sure to lock it. I make the walk down the stairs putting in my earbuds and putting on a random playlist. Over the past few days, me and Henry have been getting a bit closer to each other. I've learned that he and his sister share an apartment I have yet to meet his sister though. He has Lived in London his whole life and has a cat named sunny although It's actually his sister's cat. A few minutes later I arrive at the corner coffee shop. I walk in met with the welcoming smile of Henry I learned that he works day shift with only two other people. " Goodmorning darling" he says to me causing me to blush. "Goodmorning Henry" I reply back. " The usual I presume." "Yes please." A few moments later he returns with my drink "Enjoy darling, have a good day at work." "Goodbye Henry". I walk out of the coffee shop with a light blush tinted on my cheeks. Henry has been a lot flirtier recently. He's moving a little too fast for my liking I know I should talk to him about it, and I probably will tonight hopefully. I arrive at work being greeted with one of my favorite people right now Luna. She is such an amazing human being and has become my best friends since I started working here.

I walk into my apartment building walking straight to my bedroom to change into my pajamas. I pick out a book from my bookshelf sitting on the couch knowing I probably won't move for hours. Like I've said before reading is like another world for me. The only other people I've met that also feel like this are random people at the bookstore. Growing up people often called me weird for reading so often. Over time I just got used to it though. Thats another reason why I moved people always saw me has the nerd who always read. I was correct though a few hours later I sat my book down walking to the kitchen making grilled cheese. Most days after work have been like this so far. I remember wanting to talk to Henry, so I pick up my phone clicking on Henrys contact. It rings a few times before picking up. "Hello darling" I hear through the phone. "Yes, Hello Henry there's something I wanted to talk about. "What is it?" "Well, I've only known you for a few days and I think we're just moving a bit fast." "I understand Willow." We talk for a few minutes before he hangs up. I genuinely think Henry is a good person he seems super sweet.

September 29th, 3:38 pm.

It's Almost been two weeks since I've moved to London and Its my day off today. I decided to take the train to my nana and papa's house to surprise them. My nana and papa basically raised me. My mom and dad were always fighting so my nana would come over and take me back to her and papa's house. It happened so often it felt like home at their house. The only thing that would have stopped me from moving would have been them, but they wanted what was best for me. They are truly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and no one can take that away from me. I am currently sat on the train with my ear buds in. It's about a three-hour train ride to my nana and papa's house. I don't know why I decided to take the train maybe because I don't know London well enough but there's also GPS so. About an hour later I arrived at my nana and papa's house. I excitedly walked up the sidewalk to my nana and papa's front door. I knocked on the door just loud enough for them to hear. About a minute later the door opened and my nana very quickly engulphed me into a hug. "Oh, Willow what are you doing here dear." My nana says. "Here to surprise you and papa." I reply smiling from ear to ear. "Come in Willow dear." My nana says excitedly. After she yells at me to take my shoes of my papa walking into the room also immediately hugging me. They showed me around the house like I hadn't seen it before, but I didn't mind because I was with my favorite people. 

A few hours after I arrived at my nana and papa's house me and nana were in the kitchen making some sort of cookie. I was laughing at something my nana had said when I got a phone call from Henry. I picked up Lifting my phone to my ear. "Hello Willow darling, how are you." "Hello, Henry, I'm doing quite well I'm at my nana and papa's." "That sounds fun I'm glad you're happy I just wanted to check in." "Alright Henry bye." "Bye". I hang up the call slipping my phone back into my jean pocket. "Who was that dear?" My nana asks. " It was a man named Henry I met at a coffee shop nana." I reply. "Is he handsome dear?" my nana asks smirking. "My goodness nana" I reply. "But yes, he is" Then next hour after that was filled with questions and laughter but again, I didn't care I felt at home. Eventually though I had to catch the train. So, I said goodbye to my nana and papa giving them one last hug for the day before making my journey back home.
