Chapter 14- Starbucks.

Previous Chapter-
Today was Monday, fucking hell.
--------------------------------

Charlotte's POV.

After Liam dropped me home, I cooled myself some late dinner because I was fairly hungry even though I had eaten a bit with Niall.

As a came and took a seat on the couch with my Mac & Cheese, I began wondering of Wednesday's party. Even though I went shopping today I didn't buy anything of that standards in which I could party with One Direction.

I made a plan of goimg shopping again, in my mind and got back to my room, passing Jake's and seeing him sound asleep.

I changed and got under the covers and drifted off to sleep with a part of me thinking to go shopping in the east side of London, which had the stores I wanted to check.

••••

I woke up to a Jake-less house, yet again and found a note on the fridge saying;

G'Morning, sister. I'm sorry I had to leave. Stacey & I had our art project due today so yeah, we needed to get in early. I'll see you in the afternoon, hopefully.
P.S- I made you breakfast, I know I'm a good brother. ;)

And as promised by my cousin, I did find a plate of freshly baked bacon and a cup of black coffee with a lovely omelette sitting nicely on the dining table.
I smiled at his sweet gesture and dug in.

Finishing washing my coffee mug, I turned the tap off and wiped my hands into the kitchen towel and thought of getting dressed.

I went into my room and got in the shower, washing up myself and my hair for a good 15-20 mintues, I got out and wrapped myself up in a huge fluffy white towel.

I dug through my closet and found a short floral jumpsuit in a kind of violet colour and decided on wearing it. I paired up a braided light brown leather belt with the outfit and wore it around my waist.

I didn't think of going big on make-up. Just the usual, eye-liner, mascara. With some pale pink lipstick to match my ankle length boots with a gold chain. I left my hair in its natural waves because it was still wet and I didn't want to do anything with it.

It was fairly cold today, just not too much because the sun was present. I did take a nude-pink leather jacket with me, just to be safe and grabbed a leather sling bag with my golden iPhone and apartment keys.

Walking onto the still unfamiliar streets of London, I found myself looking around. There were peole all aroud, walking, talking on their phones, some teenagers shamelessly making out in the corner of a Café and some mothers with their toddlers. All the people in this side of London were so stylish and all had an extra edge to their clothes and hair.

I looked around and finally the most expensive store in the whole London, Metró (A/N- Totally making this up.) came into view.

This store had all the extremely expensive branded clothes like, Armani, Gucci, Trussadi, AND, Marc & Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana even Elle UK.

I almost shopped every weekend in Australia because I had a job which paid me a little too much because of my services and my Dad used to give me pocket money.

Walking in the store, I noticed almost every cloth piece with a million pound look.

I looked through different aisles when one of them suddenly caught my eye.
It was beautiful. It was a black, simple dress with normal length straps and a flow-y bottom.
I immediately looked at the price tag and saw it was from Trussadi and not very expensive.

I bought it along with some more dresses and shopped for about 2 hours when I thought it was enough and decided on having some Starbucks.

I got all of my bags, and walked into Starbucks, before placing my order.

"Name, please?" The very, very handsome guy behind the counter asked with his marker in the right hand and the cup in the left.

"Charlotte." I smiled.

He wrote it down and nodded.
"That'll be, £8.99"

I paid him and went to grab a seat.
I settled and thought of calling my family. I haven't talked to any of them since I got here.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Tyler."

"Char! How are you? Why didn't you call?"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry, I was just- settling in. I've been good. It's nice here. How is everyone at home?"

"We're all good. Sean finally asked Vanessa out so yeah, he got a girlfriend. Mum & Dad are good, they've been thinking about going on a vacation, it's like, a ten day cruise from Greece to somewhere and yeah." He rambled.

I laughed. "That is so good. How are you and Samantha?"

"Oh." His voice dropped. "Uhm, we're, like, not together anymore, Grace."

I frowned. "Seriously? I liked Sam. You two loved each other, yeah? What happened?"

Samantha was almost like an older sister to me. I always thought her and Tyler would get married.

"She, uh, she cheated on me. With my best friend." Oh no.

"Why would she cheat on you with Rider? He had a girlfriend, yeah?"

"Yeah. Apprantely they were both drunk and 'it just happened' so yeah."

"It'll be okay, Ty. Your gonna find someone better." I smiled.

"Yeah. I hope so. Look, I've to go. I'll talk to you later, okay? I love you."

"Yeah, fine. Bye. Love you, too."

"Charlotte!" The gorgeous boy yelled and I stood up to grab my order.

"Thank you....?" I smiled at him.

"I'm Ethan. Ethan Smith." He grinned.

"Well, then, thank you, Ethan. I'll see you soon, I hope!" I grinned and he smiled back. With that, I left Starbucks.

Tomorrow was the party, yeah. Oh my god.

A/N- Long chapter, yeah? I'm so sorry for the slow updates. The summer's ending and yeah, school re-opens in 5 days ugh. I'll probably not be so lazy when school starts and yeah, tryna update more.
Soz, next chapter is the party. Intense things to come, yes.
Love, N. x
