Dreaming Wide Awake

Chapter 3: The Guy with the Green Eyes

I woke up to a loud abnoxious noise that sounded like someone was hammering a nail to a piece of metal. I figured it was my parents redoing the kitchen. I looked at my phone. It was 11:34 AM. I only had a 2 hour nap. Oh well at least I felt better. I looked out my window and saw beautiful and sunny London.

"rrrrr"

My stomach growled. I hadn't eaten since we left yesterday. I grabbed my bag and threw on a pair of shorts and a tank. Walking out of my room, I said "Mom. Dad. I'm gonna go out and check out London and maybe grab a bite to eat." "Okay hun, Be back before it gets dark." My dad said giving me a hug. "I will. I don't plan on being out long anyway." I said walking over to give my mom a quick hug.

Grabbing my wallet and sunglasses I headed out the door. As I was leaving the doorman opened the door for me. I stopped and asked "What's the best place to eat around here? I don't want anything fancy just something good and cheap." "Well I'm not real big on cheap restaraunts. I don't really know of any. But you can try Nando's. It's got some wonderful chicken and it's really close to here." He said. Not once did he crack a smile but I didn't care I was hungry. I then took a quick glance at his name tag. It read "Andrew." I looked up and gave him a big smile and said in my sucky british accent "Why thank you Andrew. It's been a pleasure meeting you." All of a sudden he did a quick laugh and smiled "You're welcome!" Success! I made someone smile today!

"Just walk to your left and when you get to the telephone booth take another left and it should be right there on the corner." He said as he pointed directing me where to go. "Thanks Andrew. I'll bring you back something nice." I shouted as I started walking. Making my way through the crowd on the street I finally made it. Looking up I saw a black and red sign that read "Nando's." I walked in and grabbed a seat.

I looked up and 6 guys walked in. Each one had a different style. There was one who looked very built and he was alot older than the other five. Another one had blondeish brown hair, kinda like it was dyed blonde. He was wearing a white Polo and some jeans. The next one to walk in's skin was darker than the other's and he had black hair and a snapback on. Two more walked in together. Both of them were wearing T-shirts. They had brown hair. One of them had ridiculously curly hair and the other just had straight hair, but it was kinda messy. The last one to walk in had brown hair also. Although he was dressed a little bit nicer than the others. He had on a collared plaid shirt with a nice pair of jeans.

I'm not gonna lie every single one of those boys were extremely cute! They were directed to a table inthe corner of the room. It wasn't very far from me. I was kind of embarrassed to be by myself now. I walked over to the counter and asked if I could get my food to go. When I turned around I was startled to find the curly haired guy standing right behind me. He smiled and I just softly said "Excuse me." He whispered "No problem love." I looked at him before grabbing my food and walking out. He had gorgeous green eyes. I smiled and started to walk for the door. On my way I tripped lightly over the rug. Embarrassed, I hurried out as fast as I could without turning around.

I made it back to the flat and Andrew opened the door. I handed him the food and told him to enjoy. He nodded and closed the door behind me. I made my way up to the room and walked in.

"Hey hun! How was London?!" My dad asked not even giving me time to place my things on the counter.

"It was gorgeous... simply gorgeous!" I said smiling. All I could think about were those eyes. They were amazing. I couldn't get them out of my head. I didn't even ask for his name! I'm such an idiot.

"Tomorrow your Mom and I were gonna go find some stuff to make this Flat a little more homey. Do you want to tag along?"

"Nahh. I think I'll just stay here and chill with Andrew."

"Andrew?"

"Yeah he's the doorman downstairs. He's very nice!"

"Okay sweetie If that's what you want."

I looked at my phone and saw that I had several missed calls. It was Ansley. I walked to my room and called her back.

"Courtney! It's about time you called me back! How's London? I miss you! Have you met anybody? Tell me everything!"

"Haha Calm down Ansley. London is amazing! I miss you too. And yes I have met some people. I became friends with our doorman."

"You have a door man?"

"Yes. We have a doorman. Oh and I ate at this place called Nando's. There was this one guy he was gorgeous. I don't even know his name! He had curly brown hair and beautiful green eyes. I swear I'm in love!"

"Well then... So you've fallen in love? And it's the guy with the green eyes?"

"Yes. The guy with the green eyes."
