One Way or Another

Chapter 6

Niki POV

I slowly made my way back to the area where Anthony was sitting. What a nice boy that Harry was! He didn't say much about himself but,I didn't care he was a very good samaritan for helping me find that blasted water fountain. Ohh, samaritan, I sound so smart! I laid back down next to Anthony. "Got lost?" he said, laughing. "No! The drinking fountain is so far away." I said, flailing my wrist toward the fountain. "That's my lazy girl" he said, kissing my forehead.

**************************************************

Anthony, very gentlemanly-like, opened up the passenger door of our rental car as I hopped in not very gracefully. He jogged around to the drivers side and plopped in, starting the engine with a roar. I slipped my phone out from my pocket and saw that I had a message from Harry,

Hey Niki, just making sure u didn't get lost....again :) txt me when you can ~Hazza

I smiled down at my phone. My thumbs did a little dance above the screen before I finally replied,

Hey Hazza! I found my way back actually! You should be proud of me ;P Thanks again for you help! Hopefully I will c u soon :D.

I shoved my phone back in my pocket as we pulled up to the house. I walked inside the lobby and into the elevator, holding the door for the lazy ass who was still dragging himself through the lobby. Once he finally got inside, we shot up to the 31st floor.

I stumbled into our room and straight to our bathroom to wash of the war paint a.k.a makeup from my face. My phone buzzed in my pocket, which caused the mascara that I was wiping off flying across my face. Now it really looked like war paint. I washed and dried my hands before reaching in my pocket. Harry texted me,

No problem! Anytime you need help just give me a ring okay? My phone is always on :)

I smiled widely. He is soooooo sweet!

I will, I promise. ;) see you later hazz

I put my phone on the counter and proceeded cleaning my mascara-smearned face. I took off my emerald bracelet and put it on the counter. The bracelet reminded me of Harry. The way his emrald green eyes match with his curly brown locks ever so perfecly. And how...wait...WHAT AM I SAYING?! I have the most amazing boyfriend in the entire world and, I know for sure Harry has a girlfriend. How could you not fall for his perfectly placed dimples or his smile that just makes me.....NIKI FUCKING STOP. Okay, Harry is amazing but my boyfriend is amazinger. I lost my train of thought from a knoking on the bathroom door, "Hey Nik, are you ok? You have been in here for like 30 minutes..." I picked up my phone and burst the door open, sending Anthony back a couple of steps. "I'm fine love. Let's go have some dinner ya?"

After dinner, Anthony and I agreed to watch Friends With Benifits before going to bed. He told me during dinner that he planned a romantic dinner date for the two of us in like a week and a half. It's official, I HAVE THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER. And no one can change my mind. Not even Harry. Speaking of Harry, I have to ask him the directions to the restaurant Anthony wants to take me to. He said it's at the end of Brookfield Place, where ever that is.

I cuddled up next to Anthony as the movie started. He turned his head so that he was facing me,

"Would you fancy a bag of popcorn?"

"Oh so you're British now?"

"Only been here a week and look what London has done to me!"

"Ahh the accents contagious isn't it?"

"Like the flu you know?"

"Babe, can I just have some popcorn?"

"Oh ya...sorry love"

He troted over to the kitchen and out of sight. I got up and walked over toward the doors opening up to the balcony. I stared out the crystal clear window before opening up the doors slowly. I walked outside, letting the cold air hit my feet like a ton of bricks. My feet cringed at the cold cement under my feet. I walked over to the railing and leant my stomach against it. Cold air rushed through my body as a breeze flew through ever o slightly. I looked out on London. With bright lights shining as far as the eye could see. I could see the Big Ben towering over all the buildings, shining brighter than the moon. I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes. I felt two warm arms come in around me from behind. Anthony nuzzled his head into the crane of my neck. I stayed perfectly still, staring out on the town. "This has to be a dream." I said, letting only my lips move but nothing else. "This can only be a dream for me if you're in it". I smiled widely and I could feel my face blushing hard.

We stayed out there for hours it seemed like. I could hear the movie playing in the background. People were still out and about. the town was lit up and swarmed with people. You could barley make out the conversation someone was having below. I could smell the bakery below us, the smell of brownies and other goodies filled the air. Children were running, laughing with joy, and had their parents not far behind them. I looked up at the calm night sky to see a single star sitting peacfully right next to the moon. His arms were stll around my waist, his head still hooked in the crane of my neck. I never want this moment to end. And it didn't, not for a long time. The clock struck 10:00. I close my eyes and listened t the Big Ben chime ten times. I open my eyes to have a drop of rain fall right on the tip of my nose. I stay put until four more drops hit my face. Anthony released his grasp and grabbed my wrist, "Let's go inside, don't want you to catch a cold now do we?". I followed him inside.

As we lay i bed silently, I turn to face Anthony. I put my cold hand on his warm chest as he holds my hand close. "Babe," I start,

"What do you think about living in London?"
