The London Apartment

Chapter 3: The Boys

The next day, the headaches were gone and we decided since we didn't have to work today, we would sightsee around the area. There were so many stores and places to check out, it was so exciting. Like a vacation that we knew wasn't going to end any time soon. We were laughing and trying on fancy clothes we would never be able to afford.

Neither of us bought anything, but we had a great time looking around in the shops. Soon after we realized we should get some lunch, we stopped at a little "fish and chips" restaurant. I couldn't help but think how British it was.

After lunch, we went to Starbucks, right next door to the little restaurant. We both ordered a frappachino and sat down for a bit and talked. After sitting for a bit, we couldn't help but notice two tall, very attractive guys who walked in smiling and laughing. Mary and I looked at each other with our "hot guy alert" faces. I swear it was like we were 13 year olds trapped in a 20 year old body.

The whole place was packed, there wasn't a table left to sit at. The two boys were obviously looking for a place to sit, and since we were about to leave we offered them our table. "Hey, we were just about to leave. You can have this table." I said. "Oh thank you!" One of them said. "You're not done with your drinks, why don't you sit down with us." The other one said. "That would be great!" Mary said and we moved over a seat so they could sit down.

"So you guys are American?" One boy said. "Yup! We got transferred here through work." Mary said. "Awesome! Oh, What are your names?" The other boy asked. "I'm Regina, and she's Mary." I said. "Great to meet you! I'm Dylan and he's James." Dylan said. "That's awesome! You guys seem really rad." Mary said. "Thanks you guys do too!" James said. "Thanks" I said. We sat there for almost 2 hours talking about music, movies, and our lives. "Oh, James, The movie starts in 20 minutes!" Dylan said. "Oh we better be going! But we should hang out again some time, since you're going to be living here for a while." James said. We exchanged phone numbers and began to walk back to our apartment building.

"So, what did you think of Dylan and James?" Mary asked me. "They seemed awesome! They like a lot of the same bands as us and stuff." I said. "Dylan was seriously hot." Mary said. "Very, but so was James." I said. We laughed.

When we got back to the apartment, everything was out of place. "Something's not right here, I swear I put all these shoes in the closet!" Mary said. "And I left my iPod on the table, and now it's on the ground." I said. "That's a bit odd." Mary said. But we blew it off, because we had been pretty tired lately.

We just decided to watch some cheesy old horror movies until about midnight. "Well I'm going to bed. Night!" Mary said. "Yeah me too. Goodnight." I said.

I laid in bed and tossed and turned for what seemed like hours. I just couldn't fall asleep. I got up to get some water and I noticed the milk was out on the counter. I rarely drink milk so I knew I didn't leave it out. I just put it back in the fridge, assuming Mary left it out. I got the water and went back to my room, only to find the sheets and blankets that were on my bed were on the other side of the room. "Okay, what the hell is going on?" I said out loud. I picked up the sheets and laid back down and closed my eyes, I was too scared to open them. I eventually drifted to sleep.
