Zendaya's POV
I packed up the last of my suitcase for the trip. I was only going for a month since my break was about to end soon. After that I'd be coming back to work on some projects I have yet to reveal.
"Z, you ready to go?! The Uber's about to pull up!" Darnell shouted from downstairs.
"Yeah one second!" I zipped up my bag, grabbing my purse and phone, and rushing downstairs. I grabbed Sunday's mail from yesterday, seeing the typical bright pink envelope. I'll read it later tonight. I want to give all my focus to Tom.
Darnell and I wheeled our suitcases down the driveway, and down the sidewalk. When we get an uber we always get it a few houses down so they won't know where we live.
"Uber for Darnell?" the driver asked as we got in the car.
"That's us," Darnell said after putting the suitcases in the trunk.
...
Darnell and I put our shoes back on after coming through security. We grabbed our carryons and walked towards the gate. Tom said he'd meet us there. I can't wait to see him.
My thoughts of Tom kind of faded as I remembered the pink envelope that was in my bag. I remembered that I'd probably miss a few letters from Lou since I won't be home. Unless I explain that I'm not home. I wonder where she lives. I wish I had a way to know more about Lou aside from the regular letters I get on Sundays.
"You're pretty quiet over there. What's on your mind?" Darnell asked snapping me from my thoughts.
"Nothing," I lied blushing. Why am I blushing? Why am I lying? Lou's just a friend. More of a glorified acquaintance based off how little I know about her.
"C'mon, it's not that big of a deal. I know you're thinking about that pen pal of your's," Darnell teases.
"Nah uh..."
"Mhm. Sure you're not. I know when you're lying Z, but alright. If you say so." As we walked closer to the gate I'd seen Tom coming into my vision. I picked up my speed, and Tom's eyes met mine.
He opened his arms, pulling me into a hug. I looked around to see if there was any paparazzi around before kissing Tom's soft lips. "I missed you," I cooed running my hands through his hair.
"I missed you more love. Ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah." We stood by the gate entangled in each other's arms until our flight was called. I can't wait to get to London.
...
Tom and I were laying in his room at his house. I planned on going out for sightseeing after a quick nap, but Tom clearly was too excited for a nap.
"Please, C'mon. I promise we can take a nap afterwards," Tom pleaded.
"Baby, I'm tired," I whined rubbing my eyes.
"How? You slept the whole way here." He continued to plead and pout until I finally gave in. He's such a baby but I love my baby, and I'd do almost anything for him.
We got dressed, and left the house. Tom brought Tessa with us so we take her for a walk as well. We walked around for an hour or so just stopping at different landmarks in the city. I got to see the Big Ben, go on the London Eye, take a tour of the Tower of London.
The city was so rich in culture I could see why Tom took such great pride in his home town. Our last stop of the day was Buckingham Palace. I've always found it weird that Buckingham Palace never looks like an actual castle but more like a mansion. Hell a few of the mansions I've seen in Hidden Hills look more castle like than this.
