Someone made me update, be joyful. Love youu

My hotel room was nice, once I got in I noticed a small, neatly wrapped package on my bed. I picked up the note attached to the box,

Pippy, heres your camera you start tomorrow. The address is on the back off the card. Call me we need to talk.
Love,
-Uncle T

I open the box and sure as day theres an expensive camera sitting in the bottom of it. I turn to pick up the phone and quickly dial my uncle's number. "Tommy Billford, may I ask who's calling?"

"Uncle its me, Pip"

"Oh I thought Janice put your room number in my phone I'm so sorry" He prattles.

"Its perfectly fine, why did you need m-" he cut me off. "Oh yes! Did you meet anyone today?" I could hear something hidden in his voice but, I couldn't detect it.

"As a matter of fact I did, His name Harry, I didn't catch his last name, but hes british, and we shared a cab." I stated "Oh how wonderful, I must go now" and with that he hung up. I threw my phone onto the bed and went into deep thought. Why did Uncle Tommy wanna know about Harry? Who is Harry? What did he mean? I groaned and fell onto the bed, face first and screamed into the pillow. I didn't know what I was doing here or what Stockholm would offer but I hoped it would be over soon.

***************

I looked at the clock, thanking the lord that I didnt suffer from too much jetlag. I tugged on my coat and left my room to explore the streets of my temporary home.

The weather was a little colder than my usual streets of London. But it was beautiful none the less. I saw the gorgeous buildings, the water was amazing. I couldn't believe I hadn't been here before.

I saw a bar open and headed into it. It was way past due for a drink. I plopped down onto the crappy bar stool and a hefty bartender came to my side. "What can I get you?" Her breath smelled like rotten eggs and her face didnt look any better. "I'll have a pin- on second thought, just give me a glass of water please." She slauntered away, the door chimed and who came strolling in but none other than Harry. His eyes immediately found mine. That smile that he loved to wear, made its way onto his face. I found myself smiling too, like we'd known eachother for years and didn't just meet 5 hours ago. "Hello Star" he greeted. I rolled my eyes at the nickname. The glass of water hit the wooden bar, and I knew my night was about to get better.

**********

"Oh fancy what brings you in here?" I snorted. "My undying love for alcohol, and my feet were about to fall off, what about you mister?"

"I just saw this stunning girl walk in and I couldn't help but follow her" He smirked. "You were following me?!" I yelped. He laughed and ruffled my hair and leaned down to my ear "Who says it was you? I may fancy our nice bartender, with those squinty eyes an' all who could stay away?" I busted out laughing, we both did. I really liked his laugh. It filled the empty run down bar, and echoed off the walls of my brain.

**********

After about an hour of vodka shots, that Harry insisted he needed or his balls would fall off. We headed out, wasted off our ass and laughing like hyenas. "Come back to my place Pippy" Harry slurred. I nodded, "We can play twister, I'm good at twister." That made him burst out into laugher."Your cute when your drunk Pip" then he hailed a cab, and we both got in. ******

Once back at his place, we entered his living room. His house was brilliant, "You live here 'Arry?" I hiccuped out. "Nah, this is a friends pretty isn't it?"

"Its gorgeous" I complimented. I could see him looked at me. I turned to him to see his brows creased and his eyes on mine. He stuck his hand under his chin and continued to stare. His voice projected and filled the atmosphere. "I believe things happen for a reason, and I think we met for a reason." His charming words, hit me. He leaned in and pressed his lips lightly to mine. The felt so smooth, and the kiss was so pure. "We met for a big reason." He stated after he pulled away. And I didn't know, that he would be right. We did met for a reason. And that scared me.

They kissed. The plan is almost here. This should do you (Riley) til tomorrow. I love you guys.

Much love,
-A
