"Chloe. Come on. You have been trying to pick the perfect place for an hour. Let's just go in here." I plead to Chloe.
"Ugh, fine" Chloe says as we walk in.
We sit down in a booth and I automatically pop in my headphones and put on my Ed Sheeran playlist.
"Oh God. Your listening to Ed Sheeran aren't you?"
I laugh softly, "Why do you even ask?"
Chloe just sighs and picks up a menu.
"Do you want to split the blueberry waffles" she asks.
"Yeah sure" I say and then I burst into song. "
I should ink my skin with your name
And take my passport out again
And just replace it
See I could do without a tan
On my left hand,
Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
And I should run you a hot bath.."
And as I'm singing the last line another voice joins me in. I turn my head in time and my eyes look into pale blue beautiful eyes.
I gasp. It's Ed Sheeran! I can't breathe. I'm smiling hugely and can't tame my excitement.
"Ed!" I scream and I jump up and hug as if I have known him my whole life. He lets me hug him as I try to keep in his hug for as long as I could before he would pull away. He slightly pushes me off and looks at me.
"I couldn't help but join you when I heard you singing my song." He says with his dreamy British accent
"I love that song. Along with a whole lot of your other songs." I say quickly
"Yeah, that's all she ever listens to." Chloe adds in
"I'm sorry for just kind of jumping on you. I didn't mean to scare you or anything or think I'm creepy." I tell him.
He chuckles, "No it's perfectly fine."
"Well, umm, would you like to join my friend Chloe and I for breakfast?" I ask him, hoping he will say yes.
"Sure, why not?" He says and I scooch into the booth as he sits next to me.
I'm smiling so big right I probably look like a killer clown. I can't believe this happening right now. I look at Ed in awe. The morning sun beams down through the cafe window making his hair a bright orange.
"So your obviously American, but where are you girls from?" He asks
"Chicago" Chloe informs him.
"I love the food there. Especially the "Italian Beef." He says
"Oh yeah. I love Italian Beef, but what would be great food for us to try that's only good in London?" I ask him.
"Mmm, probably Nandos. It's a chicken place." He told us. "So what brings you two in London anyways?"
"Well we are on Spring Break and in our 2nd year of College and we have been saving up to go to London. We have always wanted to travel here." I say to Ed
"You Americans are so weird with your terms." He laughs and then asks, "Not that I will know any of your universities, where do you guys go?"
"We go to Columbia College of Chicago for the Arts" Chloe proudly states the title.
"Arts?" He questions. "What's your major?"
"Drawing and painting" Chloe says
"Music" I say.
"Oh yeah?"he says, "You play any instruments?"
"Yeah, clarinet, piano, cello, saxophone, drums, flute, and guitar." I say
"Impressive. Do you sing too?"
I nod my head."That's what I really want to do more than anything though."
"Well if that's what you really want to do, you should go for it. I could set up a meeting with my record label and see if you they would be interested."
"Omg! That would be amazing! You would do that?"
"Anything to help a fellow musician"
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
He grins,"I have to go, goodbye. Wait what's your name?" He asks
"Alexis" I tell him.
"Here I will give you my number to let you know about the record company." He hands me his phone and I hand him mine, and we exchange numbers.
"Goodbye" he says and is about to walk out there door when I call his name.
"Ed! Wait!" He turns and looks at me. It almost seems surreal.
"Umm, can I get a picture with you?" I ask softly.
He chuckles, and answers, "Sure"
I pull out my phone and he slings his arm around my waist and we pose as Chloe takes the picture.
"Thanks. And goodbye again."

"Chloe, that was amazing!"
