London - Ed Sheeran Fan Fiction

Chapter 4

Alexis POV

I woke up to the sun glaring down through the shades of the window. I was in an unfamiliar place in a strangers bed. Omg did I do something last night?I lifted the blanket to see my self dressed in mens boxers and a shirt. I have no clue. Maybe I'm at Ed's place?. I know we sang together last night and had some beer... Oh crap. Suddenly I feel a weight appear on my leg. A beige cat, had jumped on me and sat on my lap.
"Graham did you have to wake her up?" Ed asked his cat as he walks in the room.
"Oh Ed, How did I end up here?" I say a little relieved I wasn't kidnapped.
He laughs and then says, "You had a little too much to drink and I wasn't sure where to bring you, so I took you here." He then sits up on the bed,"How are you feeling?"
"Good, but now I have a massive headache." I reach over and pet Graham.
"Hey Ed, last night... Did we... Do it?"
I ask sheepishly.
He starts to laugh and then he looks over at me and realizes I'm serious."Oh, no we didn't. You were very drunk and I wouldn't take advantage of you like that."
"What about my clothes?"
"Well you spewed all over them so you took a bath and I gave you some of my clothes."
"Oh thanks. Wait. Where's my phone?"
"Right here" he says and leans over and hands it to me.
My phone reads 10:15.
"Shit! My plane leaves in 45 minutes!"
I quickly dial the number and call Chloe. After a few rings she picks up.
"Alexis! Where the hell are you! I called you a million times! Our plane is leaving in less than 45 mins!"
"I know, I know. Im leaving right now.. I still have to go to the hotel and get my stuff."
"I grabbed it for you and they are shoving it into the plane now."
"Omg. Thank God. I will try to be there as soon as I can!"
I quickly hang up and scramble to find all my belongings.
"Hey, I'll take you to the airport." Ed says
"Really? Thanks. And thanks for everything. I mean it. It was really nice of you to do what you did for me."
"It was no problem, really."
We rush out to the street and the cold air hits me, hard.
"It's really cold out here." I say shivering.
"Here." Ed says as he unzips his hoodie and puts it around me.
"Thanks again. And I'm sorry for being such a drunken mess last night."
"Why are you apologizing? Your fun when your drunk." He laughs and I laugh too. Ed calls over a taxi and soon we are rushing to the airport but the traffic downtown was really slow. I'm sitting down in the taxi when I have a horrible realization. I'm wearing big sweatpants over men boxers and an over sized shirt and hoodie. I probably look ridiculous. We arrive at the airport at 10:58 and the plane is about to leave. I run to boarding place, but when I arrive the lady there tells me the plane just left.
"When is the next flight to Chicago then?" I ask frantically.
"Tomorrow night."
"Perfect. I will take that."
"Okay" the lady clicks random things on things and then says. "I'm sorry ma'am, it just sold out. The next flight that isn't sold out yet, is Tuesday at 8:00 pm. Is that alright?"
"Yeah it's perfectly fine. Thank you" I say as she hands me the ticket.
"What the hell am I supposed to do now? I have no clothes or money with me. No place to stay. This is horrible." I rant.
"Hey, calm down. Everything will be fine." Ed takes me in his arms and hugs me."You can stay with me and borrow some of my stuff or I can buy you some clothes."
"I can't.. No I can't let you do that. I'm grateful enough for you letting me stay last night and I certainly can't let you buy me clothes."
"No, it's fine. It really is."
"Why are you even doing all this for me?" I ask
"I think you are a really great girl and I don't mind helping you out at all. It's all fine really. It's not like I can't afford it."
"Oh yeah. I kind of forgot you were 'The Ed Sheeran', or 'Ginger Jesus'"
"Ginger Jesus?" He laughs.
"Yeah. It's what a lot of us Sheerios call you."
"Oh my god."
"Yeah."
"That's weird..."
"I know. I don't know who came up with that... Well what should we do now?"
"How about some coffee or tea? There is a Starbucks somewhere in the airport."
"Yes! I really need some coffee right now."
Ed then took his arm around me and we walked to the Starbucks. I grinned from ear to ear not giving a damn of what and who was judging me for wearing sweatpants and a hoodie right now.
