the London Eye (a One Direction fanfic)

Chapter Four

I am so nervous. Why am I nervous? My hands are shaking and sweaty. I can't stop looking back at Trinity as we start walking off campus. I guess it was the fact that I was walking into something so unfamiliar and even foreign to me.

"Lucy, are you okay babe? I've asked you the same question three times and you won't stop staring at something." Harry was talking to me? I didn't even notice. I focus my eyes back to what was actually in front of me, snapping back into reality. I looked up at Harry and was instantly blown away. The way the moonlight hits his defined cheekbones and jawline. They way his bright emerald eyes sparkle. His brows were scrunched together indicating that he was worried, but even then he was beautiful.

Oh my god Lucy, snap out of it. He asked you a freaking question.

"O-oh, uh, yeah I'm okay. J-just a little nervous."

"There is nothing to be scared about. Don't worry love, we got your back." Andrew put his arm around me in a friendly way, comforting me a little.

"So, where would you like to eat?" Harry looked over asking me for the forth time now.

"I have no idea what's even around here. Surprise me." He chuckled and looked down at the ground, his long, skinny fingers were playing with his lip, concentrating on where he wanted to go.

He looked over at Andrew and its like light bulbs went off in both of their heads at the same time. They smiled at each other and pushed me forward, rushing to get to wherever they wanted to take me. Should I be worried?

They made me walk with their hands covering my eyes, obviously wanted to make this a surprise. "Alright, now step up. Good, now we are turning right. Turning, turning, okay now walk straight. Don't worry love, we got you. Okay there is a step down right here so be careful. There ya go."

I listened to their directions as they guided me through the city, their hands still covering my eyes. "Okay, one, two, three, OPEN!" They sang the word 'open' in my ear making me cover them to prevent hearing loss.

After they were done screaming, I finally got the chance to see where I was. It was the most adorable café I have ever seen. It was small and cozy, the outside having few spots to sit. The warm, brown brick gave it this homey look to it. I could smell the food from across the street.

"Awh, guys! This place is so cute!"

"All the food here is home made. The best food you will ever taste. Not many people come here though because it isn't over the top or extravagant, so it's our little secret. Trust me, nothing is better than their chicken and dumplings." Harry seemed proud to show off his little secret.

"I'll take your word for it. Now come on. I am starved!" I link my arms around their, forming a chain and drag them to the café. I couldn't take the scent anymore. It was too overwhelming.

We talked and talk for hours on end, losing track of time. "Oh shit, I gotta go. I have class at 8. Bye guys!" Andy hopped out of his chair and ran out the door, leaving the place to only Harry and I. Oh god. I was here with Harry. By myself. Just be cool Lucy. Be yourself.

"Okay Luce, would you rather wear only green for the rest of your life or eat a bug?"

"Hmm, eat a bug." My answer surprised him and he leaned over the table, closing the distance between us.

"Really?"

"Oh yeah. If I eat a bug I would just get it over with and and that would be that, but if I choose to only wear green, we are talking about the rest of my life here. Definitely eat a bug." His face showed slight disgust, but he still understood. Crap, does he think I'm gross now?? I could feel my cheeks warm up at my embarrassment. He smiled, satisfied that he could embarrass me so easily.
