At First Glance ~ Kingsland Road Fanfiction. [NO LONGER GOING TO BE UPDATED]

Chapter Fourteen ~ The Hospital Cafe.

Shannon's P.O.V.

I smiled. What else could I do? This isn't some cliched romance film or a rom-com that I spend most of free time watching, no this is real life so what do you do? What do you say? Maybe I'm just being silly? Most probably the lCr one.

“Me too.” Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? This moment will be filed in my imaginary filing cabinet in my mind under 'most embarrassing moments'. “Wait, no, God damn! I mean I like you too, a lot in fact.”  

Thompson just chuckled, placing his right hand on top of my left one which lay on the table. “You're an idiot but hopefully you're my idiot?”

“Is that a cute way of asking me to be your girlfriend, Thomps?”

“I wouldn't say cute but yeah, it is.”

I smiled as I felt the heat rush to my cheeks. 

“Well then, I'd love to be your idiot only if your mine.”

Thompson smiled back. 

“Of course I am."

Thompson lent over the table and attached his lips to mine. I kissed back immediately and felt his smile in the kiss which instantly made me smile too. Our lips moved in perfect sync as people watching complained about how 'there are children about' and we should 'get a room' along with those idiotic teenage boys who were probably made to come visit their grandparents or something and not hang around with their friends who kept wolf whistling, cheering and clapping. We pulled away after the various comments and wolf whistling all began to get too much.

I noticed everyone's lingering stares when we pulled out of the kiss so I kept my attention on a slice of cake Thompson brought for me.

“Okay, the way everyone is staring is annoying me so let's leave?” Thompson said in more of a question than anything else.

I nodded and me and Thompson made our way back to James' room. My parents and Oliver were still there but instead of talking among themselves they were in a deep conversation with a quite old looking doctor and a now awakened James.

“By the scans and test's we carried out we see no internal injuries but just in case we shall require to keep James in over night just to make sure that there is no underlining injuries. If you would like, one person may stay overnight with James. Visiting hours are over in five minutes.”

“Thank you, Doctor.” My father spoke with a curt nod which the doctor mirrored back before leaving, shutting the door as he did.

“I'm staying.” Oliver simply said, we all agreed.

“Okay, are you sure? Me or your father could if yo-”

“No, no, I will.”

“Well alright, sweetie. We'll be going now.”

“Bye James, I'll come visit tomorrow.” I smiled, hugging my older brother goodbye.

“Okay, then you can tell me about you know what.”

Hopefully he is referring to the whole Thompson situation which I've been keeping him up to date with.

“I will. Bye!”

Thompson was next to say goodbye; he gave each twin a quick 'bro-hug'.

“Get well soon, mate.”

James lowered his voice thinking I couldn't hear him, “Thanks but listen, look after Shann. If you don't me and Oliver will have to kill you, okay?”

“Y-yeah...”

After both my mother and father bid their farewells to James and Oliver we all left. Luckily, my parents gave me and Thompson a lift back to the x Factor house instead of us trying to find a bus or taxi as the house was on the other side of London.

Arriving back, the house was silent and empty mostly because all the contestants were probably asleep due as it was nearing two in the morning. Thompson walked me to my room, even though it was right next door to his and the rest of the Kingsland Road boys but oh well, it was still cute. Opening the door, I found the girls sleeping in weird positions most probably because they all tried waiting up for me but soon fell asleep. Becky and Summer were passed out on one another in a pretzel like position on Becky's bottom bed of their bunk bed located to the left of the balcony doors, it looked very uncomfortable. Chloe and Connor were cuddled up on her bottom bed on mine and her bunk. How are they not together?

Yawning, I quickly got ready for bed; I brushed my teeth and changed into my Batman pajama's before carefully and quietly climbing up to my top bunk. Turning off the light, I closed my eyes and entered my dream world.
