You And Me Against The Odds

Chapter 2

YAMATO: Chapter two.

Alex Carter's P.O.V

A stream of light cascading my room from the window raided my room. I tried twisting and turning, trying to get back to sleep, but there's no avail.

If Shane's here, he'd hum unfamiliar lullabies in my ear until I fall back to my sleep.

Or I'd stare at his peaceful features, absorbing every inch of it. And will be proud to call it mine. Fuck I'm still proud he was mine.

I rolled and reached for my phone on the nightstand, I pressed the home button to check the time it reads; 7:43

God I was never a morning person, since Shane's tragedy, I always find myself awake early.

Well hey there message from Caroline.

From: Caroline

I'll meet you at the park at nine am. I'll give you a little tour and bring you to the best café in here for breakfast ;) x

To: Caroline

Aw that's so nice. I'll rock up. :)

I prepared myself, and left the apartment.

"Wow. Really?" She gasped "A range rover? I've been wanting to drive one since forever!" She shrieked

"Guess it's your lucky day, princess" I threw my keys at her and she caught it

We reached the café she was talking about alive. Which I was happy about. I'm pretty sure she beat two red lights, because she's too pre occupied with ranting on how this car drives smoothly. Yeah yeah whatever.

"Are you sure that's only what you're having?" She asked, referring to my coffee shake "Come on Alex, food here tastes like heaven!"

I shook my head no for the hundredth time

"Oh my god," she gasped "Are you anorexic?" She whispered with wide eyes

"What?" I asked "No, of course not. I just don't want people to see me eating a lot of food." I smiled

"Look Alex," she said with a mouth full of donut "Eat whatever you want, and if people lecture you about what you eat...." she swallowed the donut

"You might as well eat them too" she raised her eyebrow and I chuckled at her silly pun

"So, where do you want to go today?" She took a bite from her donut

"I don't know. I haven't really been to London so I don't know. Maybe to the London eye or something. I don't know."

"I think you said the word I don't know in one sentence more than anyone." she chuckled "Eh, London eye is too mainstream."

She knitted her eyebrows, trying to think of something; I assume.

"What about London eye?" She asked, her eyes full of hope.

"What?" I laughed "Are you serious?" I laughed harder

"Why? Don't you like to go to London eye?" She frowned

"I do, I do." I laughed again "But, you said seconds earlier that the London eye was too mainstream." I said in between laughs. This is gold.

"What? Did I? No I did not." she shook her head

"Oh my god, are you really serious right now?" I placed my hand on my stomach, because it's really hurting from all these laughing.

"Do I look like I'm joking? Hell, I don't even know what you're laughing at."

I laughed harder and she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She looks like she's dead serious.
