Chapter 8

*****ARIELLA's POV*****

Artie was being, well Artie. She was texting me like crazy, asking me all these questions. I mean I really didn't mind, she was being a good friend. I took a sip of my coffee and she continued to tell me about her day. People were passing by, back and forth. I would occasionally glance up, just to observe how people act, or what they wear.

I looked back down at my phone, and in my sight of vision, I saw a really cool pair of black sneakers. I looked up to compliment them when my jaw dropped. Was that Dan and Phil?

"Dan?" I spoke up.

He turned and his eyes got wide.

"Ariella?"

Woah, remembers my name! He must have a good memory.

"Hi!" I got up out of the booth and gave him a quick hug. I then hugged Phil.

"This crazy running into you two like this!" I chuckled.

"What are you doing here in London?" asked Phil.

"Oh, I just needed a vacation so I decided to come here at the last second to come check out the town." I smiled, "Can I send a video of you two to my friend Artie? She was the one before me if you guys remember."

"The blonde one, right?" asked Phil.

"Yep." I popped the 'p'.

"Sure." Dan smiled.

I clicked the record button so that it was only me.

"Hey Artie! Guess who I ran into?!?" I walked over in front of them. They bent over to get in the shot.

"Hello!" Phil did the usual hand wave.

"Hi!" Dan saluted.

"I miss you! Bye!" I blew her a kiss while the boys waved.

"Thank you guys so much!" I said as I put my phone into my pocket.

"No problem." Phil said. Dan was smiling at me. God, why is he so adorable?

"Well, I am probably going to go check out the city. I will leave you two to your plans, nice seeing you again." I grabbed my drink.

"Wait, do you want us to escort you?" Asked Dan.

"Says the guy who didn't even want to go here." Muttered Phil.

"Shut up-" Dan said quietly and elbowed him, "are you up for the company?"

"Sure" My face lit up, "where to first?"

"Let us take care of that," Phil looped his arm through mine.

"We shall be your tour guards tonight," Dan did the same as Phil with my other arm.

"Alright, lead the way." I smiled.

We walked down the sidewalks and into the city lights. They showed me some cool stores or places they like to go. We walked through this really cool mall with this store that sells tons of video games and collectables.

"Ooo! Can we go in there?" I asked.

"Sure." said Dan.

"Well actually I need to use loo, so I will find you two in there." Phil quickly waddled to the bathroom.

Dan and I chuckled as we headed into the store. I saw the Skyrim section and ran over to it.

"Oh my god Dan look!" I held up a little plush toy of a Skyrim character. He smiled and joined me over in the section.
