Ever since, New York [h.s] AU

4 || THE LONDON EYE

"Welcome to The Hot Cup, what Can I get for you?" I say the same sentence I've been saying for a week, every single day. It's traumatized me to an extent.

All this for £5.90 an hour. I would wake up at six in the morning, serve coffee or tea, biscuits, crumpets, bagels or muffins until 1 in the afternoon, clean up and go home and then repeat.

If I had to say that same line again I swear I will kill someone - I'm interrupted by the sound of the bell on the door ringing, signaling a new customer making me turn around.

"Welcome to The Hot Cup, what can -" I stop when I see Harry before me, a toothy grin on his face as he shows his dimples that I loved to poke when we were kids. "Oh my god!" I run around the bar and engulf him in a tight hug. "I haven't seen you in months! What are you doing here?"

"Well they let me off for a day since I finished my first album, and also I promised I'd let you hear it first so." He says as he takes out a CD from his coat and hands it to me making me take it with an appreciative smile.

"How did you find me?" I ask after a while.

"Well your mum told my mum you were working here now, which by the way, cute place." He says taking in the cream colored walls and the various plants in every corner of the room. "Also, aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"

Shit. "They gave us a week break, you know medical school is tiring." I swallow back the lump in my throat. I sucked at lying so much and he knew it, especially with the face he was giving me. "So what are you up to Mr. PopStar?"

"Not yet." He chuckles. "They told me after this week I won't be anonymous anymore, so might as well enjoy doing things that I won't be able to do when I'm famous."

"Cool, what would you like to do?"

"Are you kidding me? You drove us 3 hours away from home to somewhere you know is one of my fears?" I say as we stand before the London Eye.

"Come on Katie, don't be a pussy." Harry mocks making me slap his arm.

"What if I wanted to pet a snake? Would you do that then?" I challenge knowing all too well he's afraid of snakes.

"But this is the last time I get to do something without being mobbed." He pouts making me roll my eyes.

"But when you said that, I would've thought doing something we both liked to do."

"We're going." He says, grabbing onto my wrist and dragging me towards the line.

"Aren't you supposed to pay -"

"I already booked it a week before." He says giving a cheeky grin. "I knew you were going to resist at first but we both know if you don't do this, it's going to be in your conscious for a while."

"Quit acting like you know me better than I know myself." I cross my arms.

"It's not acting. You hate when you don't do something and then regret it for the rest of your life. Remember when Holly Barns was giving away her gold necklace she got from that Argos catalog when they weren't as popular, and literally the next day they were everywhere? That still bothers you, doesn't it?"

"I would've kept it if I wanted to Harry. Besides, it was a bug pendant. I hate bugs."

"It was a lady bug, lady bugs are good luck."

"Like that one that went inside my ear when we were playing outside? Yeah, no thanks." I say as we go inside the Ferris Wheel with other people.

"I don't know, maybe that's why your luck is shit. You should've taken it." He mocks.

"Oh shut up." I shove him making him chuckle.
