Too Attached (Harry Styles Fanfic) <3

Chapter 3 - Shining knight in Armour

The plane ride was relatively uneventful, if you don’t count the man I was sitting next to farting. Kate as the seats were organised in two’s, Kate sat next to Matt, though she offered to sit next to me, I denied and ended up sitting next to an old man the whole time who seemed to have a farting issue.

“How was your flight?” I asked Kate and Matt, as we were looking around for our luggage.

“It was pretty good, I slept for most of it” replied Kate. Seeing my purple suitcase I walked over and grabbed it, and quickly had a look at the tag just to be sure. Knowing that the suitcase is mine I grabbed it and went back to Kate and Matt, who had also found their bags.

We walked out of the airport, not talking much as we were all too busy looking around at everything. We waited on the footpath for a taxi, when a man and women came and stood beside us also waiting for a taxi I guessed. They were talking and their accents were audible.

“oh my god! Isn’t everything just amazing? I mean look” Kate dropped her voice as she pointed towards the elderly couple that was talking beside us “just listen to their accents! I hope I get it!” she whispered excitedly. Shaking my head and laughing I answered.

“You probably will get it. Remember we live here now?” Kate was just about to reply when a taxi pulled up in front of us and the driver got out of the car and walked over to us.

“Taxi?” he asked. The taxi driver was a short stout looking man, with brown hair that was greying at the sides. He had a small black moustache. I think he was Italian or something. Kate nudged me in the side of my stomach, as she heard him speak. I just shook my head and laughed.

“Yes thanks” I answered.  After we, with the help of the driver, had got our entire luggage in the boot, it had only just managed to fit; we got in the taxi and told him the direction to our new apartment. As like in the airport, there was very little talking. We all just stared out the window and took in the sight of our new home. When the taxi man dropped us at our new apartment, Kate, Matt and I got our luggage out Matt then paid the taxi driver. When the taxi was gone, we all just stood still for a moment and admired our new house.

Finally breaking the silence Matt said “Well ladies shall we go inside?” grabbing Kate’s hand as we nodded, he pulled her along with me right behind them. We walked inside to be met by a reception lady. We handed over our details and other things that she needed to see before she each gave us a key to our new apartment. We than went to the elevator since we were up the top. We pressed the 12th floor button, and then we were off.

“Isn’t this just amazing!? I mean were in freaking London!” she said as if we were too slow to catch on to the fact that we were in ‘freaking’ London as she put it.

“Yes, yes it’s just absolutely wonderful!” teased Matt, as he kissed the top of her head. I looked away. Something in the way that those two acted around each other made me feel really lonely. I’m no saying I need a boyfriend or anything, but it would feel good to feel loved by someone. We finally reached the 12th floor. Since the place wasn’t units or anything, our house was the only one in this floor. When Matt unlocked the front door with his key, we all walked in and had a look around. The house was amazing. It was exactly like the photos though better. As soon as I put my suitcase and bag on the ground, I walked over to the balcony. As I stood there looking over my new town, I actually felt at home. I mean I know that’s crazy and that I’ve only been here for about 5 minutes but yer. I’m not sure how long I stayed out there and watched the sun go down, but by the time, most of Kate and Matt’s stuff was already placed around the house. It was starting to look a little but like home.

“Lauren while you were out on the balcony the removal people came and dropped our stuff off” yelled Kate from the kitchen as she saw me walk back inside through the balcony door. Before we left Australia, we had organised for our furniture like bed, cupboard and fridge etcetera. “Matt moved your bed and cupboard in but he didn’t know where you wanted it, so he just put it wherever”
