Let Me Love You

Chapter 1.

Dear diary.

This is my new start. Miles away from my ex who broke my fucking heart and all of his friends, miles away from all the toxic people I used to call "friends" and I've finally got my own apartment in London. Can it get any better? Yes it can, because today is my first day at work! Yayy me!

"You're Ida right?" A boy in my age asked when I came in to the music shop.
"That's me" I said and shook his hand.
He was cute, light brown/dark blonde hair and grey-ish eyes, a little bit taller than me and a cute smile.
"Nice to meet you Ida, I'm Lewis Capaldi, but you can just call me Lewis." He said and tuck some hair behind his ear.
"It's nice to meet you too! Capaldi ha? I suppose you're related to the owner?" I asked.
"Yeah" he said and turned around to grab something.
"I'm his son" he said with his Scottish accent. He gave me a black t-shirt that said "capaldi's music" on it.
"put it on" he said and smiled.
I went in to the dressing room and put on the black T-shirt and to be honest, it looked really good on me.
I left my bag and jacket in a locker and went back to where Lewis was standing.
So, here's all the instruments. Guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and all kind of instruments" he said and pointed at them.
"Here we have books and Cd's"
We came to the front of the store.
"Here's everything to the instruments. Drumsticks, guitar strings and much more!" He said and turned to me.
I laughed a little to myself before I opened my mouth.
" thanks for the tour" I said.
"No problem girl" he said and smiled at me.
He seems really nice.

Home
I kicked off my shoes and threw myself on the big couch in the living room.
First day of work went very well and I really like working with Lewis.
I've promised myself to not fall in love again, seems like I don't have to worry about that since Lewis is the only boy I'll be around for awhile and I'm never going to fall for him. He's really fun though.
My phone buzzed so I picked it up.
"Hey, how's London?" Cornelia asked.
"Hello" I happily said.
"London is just amazing" I continued.
"What about boys?" She asked.
"There's plenty of them"I said while Cornelia laughed.
"Ida, remember not to be so hard on them, just because your ex was a fucking rat doesn't mean that all boys suck." She said.
"Well, there's this boy at work who's really nice. I think we're going to be great friends." I said truthfully. I thought about me and Lewis hanging out together and started to smile.
" I'm glad you're making friends already! You need to send pictures of that boy at your job."
"Whatever, I'll call you tomorrow, bye!" I said and ended the call.
I put on my jacket and my shoes and went out to grab a hot cocoa.
I found the nearest place to buy one and went in.
" what can I offer you?" A blonde guy asked.
" just a hot cocoa with some whipped cream and cinnamon on the top." I said.
"Alright girl!" He said and fixed my order.
I looked out through the window and of course it had started raining.
"So, I've never seen you before, where do you come from?" The blonde guy asked.
"Hell" I joked.
"What?" He asked confused.
"It was a joke. I'm from Sweden" I said while I took up my wallet.
"You're funny! By the way, it's on me" he said and smiled.
" thanks" I said and went out through the door.
The rain poured down on me so I ran as fast as I could but when I came to the corner of my apartment I suddenly ran in to someone. I fell to the ground with my cocoa all over me.
I looked up at him and saw a guy in a hoodie, shorts and Nike shoes on. The hood was over his head so I couldn't really see his face. "I'm really sorry, here let me help you" the guy said and reached out his hand. He gently pulled me up. " Thanks I said and started to walk to the door in to my building. "Please watch where you're going next time" I said while I walked in.
Fuck.
I took off my soaked clothes and went in to the shower.

I washed out the conditioner and went out of the shower.
Life is actually really amazing, I can do whatever I want without having anyone telling me what to do.
I looked out through the window and saw the rain still pouring down.
I looked at my phone and saw that it was already 10 pm, perhaps it's time to go to bed.
I turned off all the lights in the kitchen and walked in to the living room, my apartment is actually really small and cosy, just one bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and the little hallway before the stairs up to the living room. It also has a big balcony.
I turned off the lights in the living room and went in to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.

I took off my fluffy robe and put it on a hook on the wall before I went to bed.
I took out my diary from my nightstand and started to write.
Dear diary.
Today has been a good day. My new work is actually really fun and even though Lewis is a bit weird, He is actually nice. He is fun to work with and he is the only one I have here so I want to keep him.
