My 1D Brothers

Milan Shopping

Erika POV:

"It's time to get up in the morning, in the morning, morning..." I heard singing. I opened my eyes and found Liam, Niall, and Louis singing the song. They continued to sing.

"IT'S TIME TO GET UUUUUP...GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!" I listened the whole song through, sat up, and said Harry's part from the video. "It's time to get up!" we all had fits of laughter and I went into the bathroom, washed my face, and got dressed. I put on my jeans, my white sweater, a silver necklace that has an infinity sign (and says directioner on it), and my white short boot high heels.

"We're taking you out to see Milan today." Zayn said. "Can we stop at Starucks first?" I asked. "Sure." Zayn said. I grabbed my black Roxy crossbody bag and my jacket.

We got to Starbucks after walking from the hotel for 10 minutes, and we walked inside. I grabbed some money from my bag that I converted from dollars to Euros and ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte (small, whole milk, whipped cream to go) and paid. The boys got what they wanted and I was about to walk out the door when I was stopped by someone. "Erika?" I was asked by a stranger. "Si." I said and the boy handed me a pen and paper. He wanted my autograph. He was about 6 years old and he was adorable. I bent down and signed the paper. The father-like person came up to me with a camera and asked, "Posso prendere un foto?" ("May I take a photo?") and I said, "Si." and took a picture with the boy in my arms. He hugged me and said, "Grazie mille, Erika!" and I said, "Prego. Come ti chiami?" ("your welcome. what's your name?") "Davide." (David)

"Piacere." (It's a pleasure to meet you.) I said. "Anch'io." Davide said.

"Ciao, Davide." I said as I waved and walked out the door with the boys.

"You never told us you speak Italian." Harry said and pouted. "I took Italian at school." I said. "What was he saying?" Harry asked, still pouting. "He said that I was the sexiest person on Earth, then he asked me if I wanted to go out with him so I said yes." I said with a serious face, but I was laughing on the inside. The boys looked confused. "Is there something wrong with that?" I asked, cocking my head to the right.

"Um, no." Harry said, a little confused. I giggled and hugged Harry. "I'm just kidding Hazza." I said and he hugged me back.

I took a sip of my Pumpkin Spice Latte and Niall said, "What did you buy?" and I said, "Pumpkin Spice Latte with whole milk and whipped cream." and took another sip.

It started snowing and I put my coat on tighter. Liam came up behind me and held me as we walked. "You get cold really easily don't you?" He asked me.

"Yea. My blood vessels are realy thin and I don't have some nice fat to keep me warm, so I get cold really easily." I said.

"Christmas is coming up." Louis said.

"Um....yea." I said, remembering how my grandma died on Christmas Eve. "Are you okay?" Liam asked and I said, "Well on Christmas Eve, about 7 years ago, my grandma died at 68 years old. A blood vessel popped in her brain while she was taking a bath and she died instantly." I said and held back the tears. Liam held me a little tighter.

That's when Louis said, "What do you want? I'll buy you anything you want." I guess he felt a little bad about me and losing my grandma.

"Thanks Carrothead." I said and pulled away from Liam and hugged Louis. I went back to Liam and he held me again. We walked to a big shopping centre with lots of famous names. I wanted to go to all of them, so we started shopping. I got 2 pairs of shoes with my money, Harry paid for a few items of clothing, and I told Louis what I wanted for Christmas.

We were walking back, this time Niall holding me, when I saw a little shelter that said Il Cane e Il Gatto. "Ooooh I really want to go there!" I said and pointed to the shelter.
