English love affair (C. H)

I can't forget....

2 YEARS LATER (SPONGEBOB NARRATOR VOICE)

"I'm in London again!" I yelled once we got down from the plane. My sister looked at me like I was mentally troubled. "What? I was last here two years ago". She shook her head and walked towards the cab waiting for us.

I was in London again. Though this time without the boys. Just my sister and I.

"Wow, this place is awesome" Mali exclaimed when we got to the house we were going to stay for the trip. "Yeah. The boys and I stayed here the last time we came here". I hadn't been away from my bandmates for up to 48 hours, and I was missing them already.

"We've gotta go get a few groceries, from the store. This place is empty, and I'm starving" I told my sister, rummaging through the fridge.

"Go alone. The bathroom is beautiful"
I chuckled. Although it had been 2 years since I came to London, I could still remember the way around. Not much, just a little. And judging by my awesome sense of direction, and a little help from the GPS, the closest place to get anything was the central mall. 

As I walked down the aisle for toiletries, I didn't know what kind of sanitary pad to get for my sister. She was always picky about this kinda stuff. I rubbed my face in frustration and turned to find the nearest shop assistant. There was one with with green curly hair, standing close by and arranging the toilet papers on the next aisle.

"Uh please excuse me" I said to her, tapping her shoulder and turning back to the aisle. "Which of these do you think I should get for my sister? She's quite choosy"

"Uh always. It's the best" she replied her small voice ringing through my ears.

"Thanks" I said and turn to her. My eyeballs nearly popped at what I saw.

"M-Mia?" I shakily breathed, not being able to fully process the sight in front of me. There she was, in all her glory, standing before him. She had changed a bit though. Green hair and a lip piercing.

"How did you know my name?" She asked me warily. "And aren't you Calum Hood?
I quickly shook my head and smiled. "Sorry. You look like one of my friends?. Her name is Mia too. But she has brown hair instead of green". She nodded slowly, backing away. I smiled one more time, before rolling my cart away.

"Oh my God. I just saw Mia" I said to myself, letting a giant grin spread across my face. I dumped the numerous, ridiculously heavy bags of groceries and toiletries on the couch.

"Hey Calum come help me trim my eyebrows. And why the fuck are you smiling like a goofball?" Mali said, raising up an eyebrow.

"Oh nothing" I giggled, picking up the tweezers.

I have to go see her. Will she remember me? She looked so startled. How the hell am I gonna do this?

"Hey! Watch it!' Mali screamed, swatting my hands away from her face.

"What?" I asked, amusedly.

"You're about to pluck my eyelashes out, I tell you to watch it, and then you keep smiling instead of scowling at me? This is new" Mali commented, a smirk on her face.

I got serious. "Do you want me to do this or not?" I asked with a straight face. She kept laughing at me. And we had a little chase party round the house.

How I ended up in the mall again, I don't know. But I was currently moving between stalls, trying to find the green haired girl again.

"Mia?" I called again, feigning surprise.

"Carl? She asked, equally surprised.

"The one and only"

"Oh my God Carl!" She yelled again, jumping on me.

I laughed heartily. "Oh my God. I've missed you so fucking much! You came back. I never thought you would. I think I'm gonna die!" She squealed, hugging me again.

"I missed you more babe" I said, anifin her hair. She smelt like peaches.

"I thought you'd never come back" she whispered.

"Me too. You've changed" I commented, mostly about her hair. It made her look badass, but sexy too. She would look sexy in any color of hair I'm sure.

"Good or bad way?"

"Good, good. It's all good?" She grinned. I had to tell her the truth sometime. The truth about me.

"I wanna take you out on a date tomorrow. Text me your address and I'll pick you up?" That sounded more like a command than a request.

But she just smiled. "Alright. Gimme your phone"

I handed it to her an she typed her digits in and sent herself a text. Then she stood on her tippy toes and kissed my cheek. Had I really gotten so tall? My cheeks reddened.

"Goodnight Mia"

"Yeah. See ya tomorrow Aussie"

I laughed to myself as I walked out. It felt like this empty space in my heart had been filled.
