Amber and I slept until about 10:00am. We were both desperate for more sleep, but we knew that we needed to get up, unpack, go to the grocery store, and make our new flat home. I got up and opened my curtains. The city is so beautiful; I absolutely love it here. I went to my huge walk in closet and began to unpack. After ironing all of the clothes that needed it I hung all of my clothes up and put all of my accessories away. I got dressed in a casual outfit consisting of a simple, peach, oversized sweater, paired with lace shorts, a light leather bag, simple jewelry, and my aviators (pic of outfit on side). I put on light make up, not putting in much of an effort, and left my blonde wavy hair down, falling over my shoulders. After getting ready, I went and got amber from her room. She put a little more of an effort into looking cute today, actually styling her dark brown, curly hair into a braided messy bun, I liked it on her
“So you ready to go?” I asked smiling.
“Yeah but why are you so happy right now? We’ve only had a few hours of sleep” she said failing at holding back a yawn.
“Well for starters it’s our first day in London! How can you not be excited?!” I squeal jumping up and down.
“Very true, so what’s the plan for today?” she says giggling.
“Okay so first we have to find the cars, they should be waiting downstairs, but I’m not sure what kinds of cars they are, so we will probably have to ask the doorman. After we hammer that out, I’m thinking that maybe we go to the store, maybe just walk around and get familiar with the town, grab some lunch, you know” I say talking kinda fast.
“Okay then! Let’s get going!” she said with a smile, finally! We took the elevator down and asked the doorman about the cars. He said that they were parked right outside the door and to the right, in our parking spots that we are to use for the next couple months. He also let us know that we have 2 extra parking spots for guests. We walked out to see a black Range Rover, a white Range Rover, and a black BMW convertible. I let amber pick which Range Rover she wanted. She picked the white, which I was fine with seeing as I picked a black Range Rover for myself back home. We decided that I would drive today mainly because I am the better driver, and I can probably handle driving on the left side of the road the first day we’re here better. We drove until we saw the first grocery store. After an hour of shopping, we had finally gathered all that we needed for a couple of weeks. We loaded the car and took the groceries back to the flat. In about 30 minutes we were back in the car, looking for a place to eat lunch. We saw a cute restaurant and parked about a block away. Once we were seated I decided I had to go to the rest room. On my way back to the table a guy bumped into me and accidently step on my foot.
“Ouch!” I yelped.
“Oh! I’m so sorry love! Are you alright?” his deep British accent making me blush.
“Oh, no I’m alright” I paused as I looked into his eyes. “Have we met before?” I asked a bit confused.
“No but I sure wish we had” he said with a smirk.
“Mhmm” I said before walking off. For some reason he just stuck in my head and all the way through lunch I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I mean don’t get me wrong he was an attractive guy; he was tall and fit with brown curly hair and emerald green eyes. I just couldn’t put together why his image stuck in my mind.
We walked around for a bit after lunch and then agreed to go back to the flat and relax. Amber stayed on her laptop most of then night, smiling most of the time. “Why are you so happy?” I asked laughing a little.
“Ooooohhh nothing, nothing at all…” she said with a smirk.
“Come on Am you can’t do that to me! You know how stressed I get!” I plead.
“I can’t tell you” she simply stated.
“And why not?!” I ask getting annoyed.
“Because it’s a surprise!” she says smiling.
“What?! A surprise?? Why can’t you just go ahead and tell me?!” I plead.
“You will find out soon enough Brookie!”
“Whatever I’m going to bed” I say giving up. After getting a shower, I climbed into bed and turned on my TV, later falling asleep to Friends.
