I grinned at Tobi over the top of my pizza, proud I had won the bet. I wasn't the betting type, but today, it had definitely paid off. I would do anything for some pizza.

"I feel like I'm missing something here." Simon said, looking between Tobi and I.

I waved him away, loving the reaction I was getting from Tobi. Being a competitive person, he obviously didn't like to loose bets.

"She bet me." Tobi replied, waving a piece of pizza at Simon.

"Oh, that's why we stopped for lunch so early." Simon replied with a nod.

"Early? It's almost 2!" I laughed, stopping myself from taking a bite of pizza.

"Never mind you lot are up at strange hours so I'm not surprised." I laughed. Sometimes it was hard to sleep when all you could hear was Simons early morning giggles and cries as he recorded videos. Not that I minded Simons laugh. He had a nice laugh.

"Luuuuuuuccccccyyyyyyy?" Simon said, waving his hand across my face.

"Back to earth yet?" He asked as my eyes re focused. Whoops, had I zoned out?

"As Tobi just said, once you've done eating we should go find this bus eh?" Simon laughed, his blue eyes twinkling as he grinned at me.

"You are such a slow eater."

"I'm savoring my food."

"Any chance of savoring it any faster?" Simon asked with a wink. Deliberately, I slowed down my movements, chewing thoughtfully and staring out the window. I flicked my eyes back to Simon, smirking. He had thrown his hands in the air, shaking his head.

I took another bite, closing my eyes in pleasure. Uhhhh, this pizza was so good. The perfect balance of crispiness and softness in the crust topped of with a mirage of mouth-watering toppings. I opened my eyes again, to find Simon staring at me expectantly.

"I'll get a doggy bag." I told him, rolling my eyes.

It took a surprisingly small amount of time to locate a bright red double decker bus.

That is, after we stopped into a chemist to get my pills.

Simon was in a rush to leave the shop after Tobi roasted him with a packet of extra small condoms before being slightly humiliated by the sweet old lady at the counter. I loved the sense of humor old British people had.

A disgruntled Simon spotted the bus first, being the tallest out of our wee group. Upon seeing it, I thought I had stepped onto some British film set. The shining, cliché red bus was right out of movies.

I followed Tobi straight to the top of the bus, a spring in my step as I climbed the winding stairs. I had never been on a double decker bus before, and this was an exciting experience for me. My pizza had even been forgotten, left somewhere in Tobi's backpack.

I could hear Simon chuckling behind me as I squealed with excitement as we reached the top. The bright red bus had an open top with soft brown leather seats. I immediately selected the seats near the front of the bus, eager to get started.

"Should I vlog this?" Tobi wondered, sitting next to me. I just shrugged, near bouncing in my seat. This was going to be epic.

"Lucy, do you usually get so excited about big busses?" Simon asked, sitting on the seat behind Tobi and I. I spun in my seat, crossing my legs so that he wasn't as excluded.

"This is my first time on a double decker." I explained, leaning my elbow on the back of the seat.

"You've been in London years now, and have never been on a double decker bus?" Simon asked, one eyebrow arching. I knew it was surprising; double-decker buses were as numerous in London as sheep were back home.
