8. first day of practice and a distraction.

Ariella's P.O.V

Sigh. I've gotten used to jetlag quickly. I don't know, I'm not the sleep-needy person.

I've been jogging about half a mile already. I left Harry at the hotel with  sticky note 'out jogging'. Hope he reads it. Cold sweat drips down my body. I can clearly feel it because of the cold, actually summer air in London. The sun is half way to its normal position for the day. Had my earphones on. Everything was perfectly in place. I sat on the bench to get a bit of rest. I wiped my sweat.  

I looked at the path where I went through trying not to forget the way back to the hotel. Just to make sure. By the way, all of this workout thingy made me hungry. I decided to take a bite at the little resto. 

The resto looked old-school with designs being antique materials making the plays look like the place where cow boys stay like in the movies. As my eyes lurk around the room, the resto's name did caught me: 'Rowdy Doo.' So that's why this place is countryside inspired.  

I quickly went to the CR to change and fix up a bit. And guess what? I found myself trying to look at a girl who was taking a selfie posing like tons of times and taking more than a hundred pictures. Teenagers these days. I chuckle after realizing I am one. Nineteen is still young okay! I turned around feeling sick of looking at her. Oh well... That was awkward.

After changing I got out of the room  and headed directly to the waitress. Sh'e's got red flaming lips, maybe because of her lip gloss and messy bun tied up all over. A grin lights up her face when I came closer to her. Anyway, her features look familiar.

"A cafe latte please and um, tacos...?" I told her unsure of what I'm really going to eat for breakfast

"What about an egg with bacon and garlic bread ma'am?" The lady said with a cheeky smile. I actually agree with her suggestion. I must say, she sounded not so Brit-ish, more like Scottish or something.

"I guess I'll take that instead with the cafe latte please" I replied. 

"Ma'am are you a Filipino?" Her mentioning that word warmed my heart. I don't know. I think I miss Philippines already. "Um, yeah. Ikaw din ba?" (Um, yeah. Are you too?") 

"Oo" (Yes) So that's why she's familiar.

"Ah okay, sige hihintayin ko na muna order ko, upo muno ako dun." (I'll just wait for my order, I'll sit there". I flashed a smile at her and went to my chair.

<Harry's P.O.V>

I turned around to the different side of the bed. Still half unconcious. I scratch my eyes and noticed the other side of he bed neat and clean with no silhouette nor idea where Ariella is. Right. Where is she? 

A sticky note left hanging on the wall caught my attention. "Hmmm, went jogging, huh?" I talked like I was gonna be answered by somebody, but I'm just alone. It'd freak me out if somebody will. She works out? So is that why she's fit? Glooober, need to know her better. I wonder why it's a must, but deep inside me wants to know her more.

Anyway, annoyed with how I smell I quickly got up from the bed to plunge into the tub and get cleaned up. A thought stopped me. I don't have clothes. But I remembered I still have the my extra clothes on our beach trip last month, is inside the car. I ran out to get it. Hopefully, I'm not gonna get mobbed.

Liam's P.O.V

"Li, when are you gonna stop doing that, I'm getting dizzy." Niall said. Yes, I've been walking back and forth the past few hours. I'm actually in deep thought right now. I'm planning to ask Abi out. The phone's just lying here in my hand waiting to be dialed. Tons of butterflies started gathering in my stomach. I can feel them piling up.
