The British Billionaire

9: Au Revoir

My last day working at the cafe was a blur. I wasn't paying much attention except for the fact that I worked all day looking pale and uninterested.

I haven't seen Alexander since, that night. And I was not looking forward to seeing him again. I figured that I was getting way too attracted by his looks that the more I see him the more I would develop a huge crush on him. I mean who wouldn't? With that killer looks and power with the way he brings himself.

Today is the last day I will be here in London and I'm not looking forward to it. Most tourists would likely say that they would go to the best places during their last day to make it special but to me traveling to other countries isn't that much of a big deal.

I'm sure of it that once the plane lands back in New York everything that I've done back here in London would be forgotten. It will all be just a dream and I'm back to reality. It's that sick feeling I hate even though I haven't experienced it yet, and I don't want to.

Ian would be hanging out with us today and would take us on a tour around London. I declined of course when he offered but he insisted.

"How's my favorite girl going?" Ian's jolly voice came from outside of my door.

"Fine." I say a little more cheerful than usual. I open the door to find him smirking and looking casual leaning against the door frame.

"Where are we going today?" I ask as Ian walks past me and enters the room.

"Somewhere." He answers bluntly, he looks around the provided living room as if estimating it and I wriggle my hands together in nervousness.

"Your flat looks nice, it looks like mine." Of course it does. He informed me that he was staying in one of the rooms here but when I asked him why he just shrugged and said that he wanted to keep a low profile. Did that mean he was some kind of a celebrity or something? I asked but he replied a vague "somewhat".

"Yup. I'll call Emily and Cass." I walked past him and slip into the bedroom where Cass was preparing while Emily was reading a book.

"He's here guys." I say while getting my bag on top of my bed. I made it out of my way to prepare it already before Ian even gets here which I don't usually do.

"I've noticed." Cass replies distracted from her lipstick.

"Then let's go." I chuckled at Cass normal behavior. She was one to always look good while I never did. What can I say, I trust myself. I don't bother looking good since I'm just doing it for the other people who see me. Why not just see me for who I am without the make up.

Ian blows a light whistle in our direction as we step out of the room. "Well don't you girls look gorgeous."

I felt a light tinge on my cheeks as I replied a quick thanks with my head low. He surely knows how to flatter a girl.

"Welcome to the shopping street of London." Ian proudly says while looking around. I was impressed, he knew girls well enough to know that we loved fashion. Me, not really but I don't totally hate it.

We spent the rest of the afternoon strolling around shops that looked so different from those back in New York. People were strolling around dressed in fashionable wear and most of them had paper bags on their arms. Each structure of different shops were in Victorian style. There were small steps before you could enter each one and I admired every single structure.

I didn't buy anything while Cass bought some clothes and Emily bought a bracelet. I didn't find anything I like so I just kept my money in my pocket.

We were inside an accessory shop but I just stood by the door uninterested. The simple bracelets and earrings were piled in racks and Ian too was looking at some.
