JUNE'S P.O.V.:

Our boat rocked on the small waves of the Thames River. 

Tristan and I sat in silence while we watched the bridges pass over us as we glided under them. 

"When's Golden Gate Bridge coming up?" I asked. 

"That's actually a very good question, I have no idea." 

"Wow! That's useful."I laughed. 

Tristan leaned over into the isle and got the attention of someone who was in the crew to ask them, "It's not the next stop, but the one after that." he told me when the crew member had walked away. 

"Should we get off there?" I asked him, "We could." Tris answered. 

Around ten minutes later we were standing on a ground that wasn't moving, but I still had a swaying feeling in my legs. 

I accidentally bumped into Tristan as we started to walk,"Woah, you okay there?" he asked, "Yeah, yeah. I'm good." 

Why was I so unsteady? Normally I never had this problem. 

Tristan took my arm even though I was completely fine after I steadied myself and led me to the nearest tube station. 

I would normally have said something, told him I was fine, but in reality I was weak. 

I was weak because his touch felt so nice. 

God, I had to get it together. 

"So, June? Oxford Street?" he asked. 

"Wait, what's the time?" 

"Coming up to one." he answered, "Should we maybe do lunch first then?"

I was going to ask him where, but then I remembered my parents wanting to meet us in Covent Garden, "I know just the place." I said,"But first, we have to meet my parents." 

God, that sounded so weird. 

"They wanted to make sure you didn't kill me, but it's really close to the restaurant." I added. 

We got on yet another tube and headed towards Covent Garden, I promised to meet my parents in Forbidden Planet, but as it is a rather geeky shop, I didn't want to stay long. 

Don't get me wrong, I could have stayed an hour if I wanted to, but I didn't think Tristan would want to. 

Plus, I was hungry. 

We literally just spent five minutes in the shop, I proved to my dad that I was alive, and then I had to convince Tristan that food was more important than Star Wars. 

That was extra hard, because I wasn't sure if I believed it myself. 

"I like your parents." Tris said randomly as we were making our way to the restaurant, "What?"I laughed. 

"I like how they don't completely trust me, it shows how much they care about you." 

That made perfect sense after I thought about it for a second, Tris was right.

"We're here!" I announced, "The best fish and chip place I know, Rock &Sole." 

I led Tristan inside, "Would you like to sit up here or downstairs?" the waiter asked us. 

Tristan looked at me, not knowing which answer was better. 

"Downstairs please." I answered for the both of us and so the waiter led us down a staircase and showed us to a table in the corner.
