No Letting Go [Completed]

Sixty-One

{Colin's POV}

I wake up around 10 something. My body wouldn't allow me to sleep any longer than that. I look to see what time in is back home, and it's only 2 in the morning there. I can't stand this whole time change shit. I wanna talk to my kids. I sit up in bed and check my phone.

I send Aaliyah a text message so she can have something to wake up to and put a smile on her face.

Me: Good Morning beautiful. You and the kids are the only thing on my mind right now and I miss y'all so much.

Daily reminder that you're my everything, and that I love you more than life itself. Call me before you take Riley to school so I can talk to her and Nate. I love you baby❤️

I sit up and head to the bathroom to do my morning routine. After I shower, I throw on a pair of sweat pants and a tshirt. I flop down on the bed and take a quick selfie and post it on Instagram.

"Day off before going back to work tomorrow. I wanna do some sight seeing, so London fans, drop some suggestions in my comments!"

After going through the comments, I look up some of the places that were suggested. I get a text message from Erin.

Erin: Hey!

Me: Hey, what's up?

Erin: Still up for a tour?

Me: Yeah, I guess so. I was just looking up some places to visit.

Erin: Don't worry. I got you!

Me: Okay...uhh, where you wanna meet up?"

Erin: I can come and pick you up, if that's okay.

Me: No, that's fine.

I let her know what hotel I'm at and she'll be here soon. I don't see anything really wrong with this. I as long as she keeps her hands to herself, we won't have problems. She's a cool person and someone that I had once fell for, but I have Aaliyah and none of that matters anymore.

She texts me to let me know she's outside. I grab my phone, a hoodie, hat, wallet and room key, then leave. I spot her and walk over to the car.

"What's up!" I say after getting in the car and buckling up.

"Hey. Thanks for letting me show you around."

"I figured your better than roaming around by myself."

"What about your teammates?"

"Mmmmm.."

"Mmm what?"

"Nothin. You know me. I normally keep to myself most of the time."

"And I never got that."

I shrug my shoulders. "That's just how I am. It's not at all intentional....so, how long did it take you to adjust to driving on the opposite side."

"It took a while."

"I bet. It's weird as hell sitting where the driver's seat should be, but it's not."

"Yeah, it takes a while to get used to."

During the ride, we make small talk and catch up a little bit from the last time we saw each other.

"So, where we goin?" I ask as we park at some random place.

"Get out and you'll see."

"Okay." We both get out and walk to what seems to be a bus stop. "Yo! We bout to ride in one of these?" I ask as this big ass red bus rolls up.
