Eds POV

(Flashback)

I had arrived a little early because I couldn't bare the constant staring at the clock any more. Before long another bus arrived and I watched looking for a head of auburn hair but once again I felt my heart drop as there was no sign of her.

I checked my watch for what felt like the millionth time. It was only 12:30 so 30 minutes until she would get here.

About 15 minutes later another bus came rolling in and then I saw her getting off. She looked beautiful. Her long hair met the top of her high waisted floral skirt. I waved over at her but she didn't realise as she was staring at her phone. Pretending that I was sorting out my hair to cover up the fact that she completely missed me waving, I watched as she approached me and carried on walking. I couldn't help laughing as she waked back to me, her cheeks burning scarlet. I took her perfect face in my hands and kissed he pale lips delicately. Taking her hand in mine I strolled down the high street with the biggest smile on my face.

We of course went to my favourite restaurant... Nandos (where else). We sat in a little alcove overlooking the streets of London. I found my self liking her even more as she ordered half a chicken, chips and peas. I was so glad she wasn't one of those girls who would order the tinniest amount of food when around boys.

The conversation flowed so easily and it wasn't even until the waitress came over for the 3rd time to ask us if we wanted desert that I realised that it was almost 6pm.

After refusing to let her pay we left and took a brief stroll to the Thames. We stood on the bank with the sun set shining on the river. Suddenly ,out of no where, the clouds came over and it began to pour with rain, only in England couuld this happen. Taking her hand in mine again we ran for what felt like ages before I darted inside a small coffee shop.

I took of my hoodie and wrapped it round her shoulders. It was only then that I realised we were in the coffee shop were I had first set eyes on her. She must have realised too as she looked around laughing quietly.

We took a seat at the back of the coffee shop on a small leather sofa and just carried on talking. We just seemed to click, everything that I used to have trouble with just vanished. I was able to talk to her properly, break down the wall which usually separated me from people.

It was after 10 by the time we left the coffee shop and we walked back to her place. The stars were shining above us and the air was fresh after today's rain. She still had my hoodie on which was very large on her and she looked so cute. Noticing that I was looking at her, she blushed and stared at the ground.

I stepped a little closer to her and took her face with both of my hands and kissed her forehead, then her nose and then her lips. As I pulled back she stood up on her tip toes and kissed me again. Her hands enter twined into my hair and my arms wrapped around her waist pulling her closer.

We both pulled back, breathless, and she smiled up at me and I back at her. Everything was perfect.

(End of flashback)

I pressed the lock screen button, banishing the picture of her and I together in the coffee shop from my phone. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly and hit my head against the back of the seat.

The door of the SUV slid open and Stu was standing there "Come on Ed we are here at Nandos" as he walked away the tears threatened to spill over in my eyes again.
