Problems (Sequel To Bad Blood)

Our New Lives

I sat in the window, staring out over London. Thomas came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"What are you doing?" He asked quietly.

"Just thinking," I smiled up at him. He kissed me on the forehead.

"I love your thinking face..."

"I'm almost always thinking..." I laughed.

"I know." He smiled down at me before poking me in the side.
Everything had become perfect since that day in New York, but we knew if we stayed in the states, we would just be constantly reminded of those horrible years that we had to go through... so Thomas, Dylan, Ava, and I moved to London, England. It's actually really nice here. Dylan lives in the flat above us, and Ava lives across the hall. My parents call every week, they clearly don't want to lose us again...

There was a sudden knock on the front door.

"I'll get it," Thomas groaned. He stood up and walked over to the front door. I watched as he opened it, seeing Dylan standing there with Ava.

"What do you say when a random waitress at a coffee shop asks you out?" He asked as they walked in.

"Well that certainly depends..." I said. "Is she hot?"

"I don't know..." he replied.

"Don't lie," Ava laughed. "She's very hot."

"Was she sweet?" I added.

"Dylan how often is it that you get a girl? I say go for it. It's been long enough..." Thomas said sitting back next to me.

"But she seemed so desperate..."

"Like you aren't?" Thomas asked.

"I'm not desperate! I don't even want a girlfriend, thank you very much."

"We really need to find you someone," I laughed.

"Just call her back..." Ava said. "You're already twenty-nine. You're not getting any younger."

"Yeah, well with my luck she's a sociopath..."

"Take a chance, Dylan. She was cute, American, and she laughed at your jokes," Ava smiled.

"She laughed at his jokes? Maybe she is desperate..." I said. Dylan glared at me.

"Fine, I'll call her back... just not right away."

"Smart move." He stood up and started walking out. "Well, I work early in the morning, so goodnight all."

"I'm going to get going too," Ava said. "Goodnight you guys."

"Goodnight," Thomas and I said together as she followed Dylan out. They closed the door and I turned to Thomas.

"We have really dorky siblings."

"Yes, we do," he agreed, kissing me. "Come on, you work early too, time for bed," he stood up and grabbed my hands pulling me up. I smiled and followed him to the room we shared.

"I'm too tired to get ready for bed," I pouted, plopping down onto the bed she sprawling out. He laughed and lay ontop of me.

"I am too, let's just skip all that boring crap, yeah?"

"Yeah," I smiled, rolling onto my side of the bed. He kissed me on the lips and clicked the lamp off on his side of the bed.

"Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled and turned off my lamp, cuddling up next to him and falling asleep.
