This is the first time I've ever done this.
But this chapter is dedicated to the lovely heartsupforhemi she comments on and favorites nearly every chapter I post and she is the sweetest thing ever.
......................................•Ellas pov•
I've got the hotel room to myself for the day. I don't want to seem ungreatful or annoying because I know this trip isn't about me, but I do wish someone would have invited me along for a trip today.
Of course Lana went to meet Zayn and Arisa went out to go meet up with some 'really hot European guy' she's been talking to.
I breathed in two lungs full of stale hotel room air. It smelled like cleaning product and moth balls in here.
Now that's something to think about, moth balls. When someone invented them were they thinking that maybe all moths were lesbians and they would be scared of balls? I laughed out loud at my own thoughts. I am so immature.
I decided to get my lazy arse up off the bed and go sight seeing, it seems like something that I could do on my own and still have a good time. I chunked on some warm clothes and headed out the door with my passport, phone, and my wallet. Hopefully I won't need my mace spray or my knife pen today.
I took a taxi down to a near by historical sight. once I reached my destination it wasn't anything remotely interesting so I decide on taking an open topped bus around town.It's not too terribly cold out and I really just don't want to go back to that hotel room and be on my own.
I asked around and the locals told me where the nearest bus stop was.
As I made my way down the side walk I bumped shoulders with someone who just so happened to be carry a sh*t ton of coffee.
"Dam*it." the man cursed
"I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to . Here let me help you" I bent down to pick up some of the stray cups, which lucky for my wallet and the stranger, hadn't spilled much.
"No it's fine that was my fault, I should have been watching where I was going."
"Here let me pay you for what spilled." I offered
"Heavens no! I wouldn't make you do that." He paused and stared at me for a moment. "actually, you could pay me back with a date tonight." He didn't look much older than me, maybe 4 years or so, he had good manners and was kind to me so why not. one date can't hurt.
"Sure." I smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair back behind my ear
"Alright, would you like to meet at that caffe behind us, it's nothing fancy but it seems like a sensible place to at least meet up." I nodded. And we agreed on 8 being our date time.
My bus pulled up and I requested a seat on the roof so I could see everything.
I took my seat and placed my belongings in my lap. as the bus started moving I felt like I was flying. I'm not really sure why but I just felt so free, maybe it's because I just set up the first proper date I've had in months or the fact that I'm a little hormonal. Either way I felt so happy on the inside, a feeling that almost became foreign to me over the past few years.We were approaching Buckingham palace and the tour guides voice rang through the tiny speakers.
"To your left is the one and only Buckingham palace. inside are the Crown Jewels. the bus will be stopping momentarily if you would like to get off now is your chance." she said as the bus came to a stop " Queen Elizabeth the blah blah bloopedy blah boo na hey bloop bloo." the woman continued but I zoned out
Staring at the castle my mind fogged up with memories.
........
"You wanna be a princess?" my favorite aunt in the whole world asked me excitedlyShe knew I did, all my 8 years of life, so far, I wanted nothing more than to be swept away. by my prince charming.
"Yes!" I chirped "I want to marry Prince Charming and live in a bigggg castle." I stretched out my arms to show just how big I wanted it to be
"Oh I see. like Buckingham palace big?"
"No bigger than that!" I clapped my hands and jumped on my bed
"Well you know what." she poked my nose " I married my own Prince Charming and live in my own castle right here in Mississippi."
"Woah. Uncle Andrew is a prince?" I gasped
"Not technically, but he is to me. you will understand one day love bug." Aunt Claire said as she pulled my princess dress down over my head and handed me my wand.
"I think I get what your saying." I tried to wrap my tiny brain around what she was saying to me. "even though uncle Andrew isn't a real Prince and you don't live in a real castle you feel like royalty anywhere you are as long as you have him?"
She sat for a second just staring at me in awe. "I've never thought of it that way before bug. but you know what, you are absolutely right."
.......I felt a tear run down my cheek and I quickly lifted my hand to cover my face. luckily for me no one was looking at me, they were all basking in the glory of Big Ben.
I picked up my phone and snapped a few photos of the beautiful piece of history.
I have a feeling this trip is going to be unforgettable.
The tour of London went by quickly and I found myself enjoying my time on the open topped bus.
I hailed a taxi and got back to the hotel room as quickly as possible to get ready for my 'date'.
I'm not even sure how formal or informal this date is so I decided on my casual but cute dress, some stockings and my favorite pair of riding boots.
I laid back on the stiff hotel bed. No matter how hard this bed may be it still feels more comfortable than standing up and waking all day.
My phone lit up next to me and I sighed. I really just want to take a nap, but something inside of me told me not to ignore the text on my phone.
I picked it up and unlocked it, immediately going to my messages. It was from an unknown number.
"Not all is as clear as it seems." it read
"What the f*ck" I cursed under my breath
"Nothing seems clear to me at the moment. I think you have a wrong number :)" I replied, adding the smiley to seem kind
"No it's defiantly the right number."
In almost a fit of anger I locked my phone and threw it into a purse. if I don't leave now I could get caught in traffic and that is the last thing I need right now. I can't be late for this date.

Hello my beautiful people.
Apparently flashbacks are my new thing, the feel extremely appropriate for this point in the story so I will probably be using a lot of them in the future.
Also sorry for being such a jerk on making you wait for another zana chapter. in so mean I know lol
