5 Weeks Of Little Mix (5SOS/Little Mix Fanfic)

Chapter 45 - Typical Tourists

* Two days later *

Calum's POV:

" London is so cool" Beams Michael gazing up at Big Ben, as the rain falls heavily on the pavement.

" How are you guys so happy to be here? I didn't get to recover from my homesickness" Mumbles Luke glumly, pulling the drawstrings on his coat so that his hood covers his face.

" Cheer up buddy, it's only for a meeting. We'll be home soon" Says Ashton, pulling his phone out to take photos.

I think the whole "flying to England" thing has gotten to Luke. He was really excited to head home once the tour ended, never mind after Florida.

The fact that we've been flown out to the UK when he wants to just go home is annoying him by the looks of it.

" Considering that we're here, please can we go on the London eye?" Says
Michael.

Luke gives Michael a look,
" Are you being serious..... don't we need tickets?"

Michael shrugs,
" Might as well find out!"

Without any hesitation, we all follow Michael who seems really excited over the fact we're going on the London eye.

" Dude, you were scared of planes. Are you sure you're gonna be okay on this? It's pretty high" I say anxiously, looking up at the London eye as we get closer.

" It'll be fine!" Smiles Michael, as we take a left turn towards a building which sells tickets.

We linger for a while around a desk and wait for somebody to notice that we're waiting.

" Oh sorry about that! Can I help you?" Asks a girl about our age behind the desk.

" Yeah we're looking if we can get tickets for the erm...eye?" Says Ashton sheepishly, sounding a bit uneasy himself.

" Yeah sure! Is there four- hold on.... you're Five Seconds of Summer!" She whispers in excitement.

We give the girl a moment to control her excitement, which is actually kind of cute.

" Thankyou" I say with a smile, when she finally gives us the tickets.

Before we leave, we quickly sign her phone case, and I think it was safe to say we may have made her day.

The queue for the London eye is pretty massive, and there are lots of people waiting. Luckily though, we all brought sunglasses so not many people are noticing who we are.

" Isn't it crazy. That people in the UK know who we are? Like a few years back nobody knew us at all" Says Luke, as if the girl behind the desk had just reminded him.

I nod my head,
" It's unreal"

It still shocks me now how successful we became. A few years back we were just four guys from Australia posting covers to Luke's YouTube channel.

I don't think any of us expected that we'd get this far.

" I think we're gonna be next" Says Ashton as the carriages slowly make their way down to the bottom of the wheel.

He's right, when suddenly our tickets are checked, and we are ushered into a carriage with some other tourists.

Michael's POV:

We walk into a big circle carriage and the doors slowly shut behind us.

" How high does this thing go?" I ask as we are suddenly enclosed in the carriage.

The three guys turn around and look at me with raised eyebrows.

" You'll find out soon Mikey" Smirks Ashton who walks past me and pats my shoulder.

I take it that means very high.

Luke and Calum stare out of the glass carriage and wait patiently for us to get higher, so that we can see the entirety of London.

" I'm actually looking forward to this now" Says Luke, smiling a little.

" See. Maybe coming to the UK wasn't such a bad idea after all" I say, joining him and Calum by the window.

Luke rolls his eyes and smiles a little before turning his attention to an ipad attached to the inside railing.
" Anybody want to find out more stuff on London"

" No .... I'd much rather look at it, but thanks for asking" Says Cal, who decides to go full on tourist and starts snapping photos.

We're fairly high now, and I won't lie, it's a little bit daunting.

I'm fine for most of the ride until a group of pissed women start jumping up and down on the carriage floor.

I know that it won't fall down, but after our Florida trauma, anything is possible in my eyes.

" I wish they'd stop acting like d*ckheads" I mutter to Calum who is still gazing out of the window.

Calum raises an eyebrow and looks over his shoulder quickly, shakes his head, and looks back at me.
" There ain't no stopping them Mikey.... they're clearly out of their minds"

He's right. If they had any sense they'd just be sightseeing like the rest of us.

The cycle on the London eye ends finally, and we all step from the carriage and end up back on the water glazed streets of London.

" What do we do now then?" Asks Luke who looks at his wrist to check the time.

" I guess we could do more sightseeing" I say with a shrug.

Ashton sighs and shakes his head,
" Listen....we do that every time we come to London. Can't we do something fun"

I have no idea what Ashton has in mind given the fact we rarely come to London, and when we do, it's for the sake of touring. When we tour we have hardly any time to do anything.

" You want to go to a club or something" Says Calum with a side smirk.

" Guys....as much as I love clubbing...is that seriously a good idea...." Says Luke with an anxious look.

It's probably a terrible idea as we're mainly here on business, and we've been told we need to be in the hotel by midnight.

" Actually....if I remember rightly...we promised we'd take some friends to a club the next time we hung out" I say mischievously.

The guys and I exchange some looks.

" You're right Mikey...we did" Smiles Ashton, as we start to walk up the path.

I wonder who their friends are?
