Author's note: That's what I imagined Julia and Marie's home to look like.Cute right? :) I can't decide which one though.Pink or dark blue? Or is it black? Whichever is fine with me :)
Julia's POV It has been several hours since I met Tom Watson.And I couldn't stop thinking about him ever since.He's such a gentleman.Well,all English men are but he was rather cute too.Thinking about him is only distracting me from my work at the bookstore. My train of thoughts is filled with him.I can't seem to get off that train.I probably won't be seeing him anymore.But he seemed determined to see me again.Oh,how I hope I didn't hurt his feelings just now.I bit my bottom lip,pondering on whether I should go back to the coffee shop or not.I don't know.
"Julia? Julia." Marie called out.I looked up to her with wide eyes as a book fell out of my hands."You seem a little absentminded. "
I only shrugged, picking up the fallen book and placing it in the correct place.I don't want Marie to look inside my thoughts.If she has any knowledge of what I'm thinking about,she'll only encourage me to go for it. She watched me with sharp eyes as she arranged new books into the bookshelf. I tried my very best to not have any expression on my face or it'll give it away.My lips trembled,itching to smile.Marie made me jump slightly when she snapped her fingers as if she had a light bulb above her head.
"It's about that dashing man isn't it?"
"Perhaps."
"Oh,you have to go for it!" See? "He actually looks decent than all of your exes.I actually like him.British men always treat ladies like princesses,accustomed to respecting royalty."
"What about Ben?" I rolled my eyes,grabbing a stack of books to be arranged.
I dated this guy named Ben when I first came to London so over two years ago. He was really "charming" in a sense. But that didn't last for too long. Our relationship lasted for about three months,I couldn't be bothered to keep track before it all plummeted down the toilet bowl.
"Ben was a straight up bugger and an arsehole,I'll give you that.It was only him,the rest was just...not for you."
"Well,what do you suggest I do exactly?" I gave up,looking at her. "I don't have a plan you know.I can't just grab a phone book and call every Tom there is."
"You could you know,but that would take a century." I laughed way harder than I should.My laughter attracted the attention of our colleague,Brady James Wilkinson.
There he goes, walking over towards us with that goofy smile of his and his Harry Potter glasses crooked which everyone made fun of him for it but I think it's fantastic.
"What's so funny ladies?" He asked.
"Just Marie being Marie." I replied,chuckling. I reached over to adjust his crooked glasses.
"Say,we're going out tonight.Care to join us,Brady?" Marie offered,tying up her bright purple hair into a ponytail.
"I have nothing better to do anyways,sure." He smiled."I'll pick you girls up at around 7?"
"Okay,we'll see you later,Brady." I said,shooing him away.
As he walked away,he put a hand to his chest pretending to feel hurt which gave me the giggles.Once he was out of sight,I turned to Marie.
"You didn't tell me we were going out."
"We have to celebrate."
"What is there to celebrate?" I crossed my arms.
"This day has been blessed,Julia.You met a really,really gorgeous guy."
"He is pretty charming." I looked down.
"He is charming,indeed."
Oh,what am I to do? I want to see Tom again.I do.Okay,we'll just have to see where fate takes me.
