--Esmerelda's POV--

"Nicholas Galitzine, put the guitar down," I yell walking into the practice room. He lifts his head looking alarmed as I walk over opening his case.

"Is there a reason why you're interrupting my quiet time?" He asks pulling me over by my waist as he sits on the piano bench.

"Cause you promised that if I finished my song you would take me to dinner. I remember hearing something about candles, music...the works," I tell him with my hands on my hips.

"I don't believe it," he says moving away from the piano, "I have to hear the entire thing as payment," he says pushing my shoulders so I sit down.

"Fine but I'm playing it in like x2 speed," I tell him playing the opening chords. He stays behind me as I play him the song I've been writing for the past couple of weeks. Since the weather has become more springy I've been on the roof almost every night playing.

He slides on the seat next to me and plays a couple of notes as I try to match the vibe, "It's really good," he says as I shake my head.

"It's alright. It's not my best work but it's at least a B," I tell him.

"What is it that Kylie always says?" He asks before he remembers, "Miss Girl. That was good," he says making me lose it.

"That was a good Kylie impression," I tell him as he smiles, "Now I did my end of the deal. Time to pay up Tea Man," I tell him as he chuckles. I stand up from the bench and he pulls me back down onto his lap, "Fine if you don't like Tea Man....how about Mr. Crumpet?" I ask.

"I'm just curious how many British stereotypes you can pull out of your ass," he says while laughing.

"I think my best one yet was 'you can put your Big Ben inside my tube anytime'," I tell him as he gives me the same disgusted face as when I originally said it.

"I think I made a mistake," he says as I gasp. He shuts me up with a kiss making me smile. I pull away and stand up again moving to the door. He grabs his guitar and follows after me to walk to the apartments.

"I was thinking that maybe you and Kylie could come to London this summer," he says making me smile.

"As much as I would love to be in London with all my best friends...I won't have nearly enough money to even look at a plane," I tell him as he takes my hand in his.

"Well, it's a good thing I have money then," he whispers as I pause for a second.

"Don't tell me you're really the king of England or something," I tell him.

"You are seriously so uneducated when it comes to Europe. This just proves you should come," he says.

"I'm not using your money," I tell him as we turn onto the same block as our building.

"But what if I told you I already bought the tickets?" He asks as I lean into his side.

"I'd tell you to return them. Seriously, I would love nothing more but I'm not taking your money," I tell him walking backwards into the door. He follows in after me looking annoyed.

"What if you just paid me back?" He asks pressing the up button.

"What if you guys went and came back with a fun magnet?" I smile.

"I'll just kidnap you and throw you into the luggage area underneath the plane," he says following me to the apartment.

"Kylie tell this loser that he's not paying for my plane ticket," I tell her as I close the door behind us.

"Don't look at me. I already argued with Harry about it last night," she says walking to the couch with soup.

"Who eats soup when it's 70 degrees outside?" Nick asks as she glares at him.

"I don't remember asking for your opinion crumpet man," she says making me giggle as he throws his hands up in defeat.

"You two need help," he says walking to my bedroom, "Just be materialistic for 5 minutes of your life," he whispers wrapping his arms around me as I walk in. I gasp as he picks me up and holds me over the bed, "It will be fun and you could meet my mom," he says as I drop my head onto his shoulder.

"Maybe I can find a job and work full time opposite my school schedule," I tell him.

"Or....let your boyfriend pay," he says as I poke his cheek.

"You're a gremlin. I'll think about it," I tell him, "In the meantime....put me down," I state. I'm surprised that he listens as he sets me down on the bed with a small kiss before he pulls away.

"I'll come back down in an hour. I'm taking you somewhere nice so dress up," he says as I try to hide my smile.

"I feel so spoiled"

"You're my girl now expect it," he says sounding like a corny movie. He leans in and I push him away as he walks to the door giggling.
