I've been in London for a week now and I'm heading home tonight on the train. London has been amazing. I've been doing all the usual touristy stuff like the London eye and parliament etc and it's been great.
My feet are killing me I thought as I traipsed up stairs to collect my luggage before leaving soon. I checked out and made my way to the train station.

I had been sitting on the train for over and hour now and we had stopped at a station to collect more people. There were about 7 stops between London and Glasgow and that's where I'm heading back to Glasgow. The train had stopped for a maximum of 5 minutes and soon before its departure a tall handsome boy sat beside me. I never really paid much attention as I had my headphones in and I don't like talking to people much. He sat down next to me with his black doctor martins on, his ripped black skinny jeans on and a nirvana top. He had good taste in music for starters and his jeans were a lot like mine which I found weird for some reason and his shoes were nice too. Half way into my song I checked my phone to see the time "10:02 pm" it read. I half sighed and the boy said to me "what are you listening to" "greenday" I said in almost a whisper
"I love greenday, what song?"
"American idiot" I said turning slightly
"Do you mind if I listen" he said Picking up my spare head phone
"Go ahead" I said
The song had finished and he returned my head phone. "It's nice too meet you by the way, my names Michael"
"Rebekah" I said shaking his hand.
"Now do you spell that with two c's or the 'K.A.H"
"K.A.H" I replied embarrassed
"Ahh, what a beautiful spelling"
"Thanks" I said sheepishly
"Anytime" he smiled

It was a little later on and Michael had brought out his own phone listening to nirvana - how ironic - drumming away to himself on his knees. I pulled out my phone and opened snap chat, I had a few messages from my friend and I replied with a selfie - stupid idea - when I was typing on the picture I noticed Michaels fingers behind my head
"If you wanted to be in the picture so bad you could have just asked" I announced
"Okay" he said quickly, he grabbed my phone and took far to many selfies
"Give it back" I said sharply
"But first let me take a selfie" he said and started posing
"If you can't beat 'em join 'em" I said and started posing along with Michael. We laughed as he gave me back my phone and we went through them. We got to a nice one where we were both smiling really quite nicely and he said hey send me that one so I "airdropped' it to him and he set it as his screensaver
"Won't your girlfriend be mad?"
"Nope, don't have one!"
"Ohh" I said with a slight smirk
"I forgot to ask, where are you heading" he asked a little minute later
"Glasgow" I replied
"So am I, but me being me I forgot to book a hotel" I rolled my eyes a little and then he said "do you mind if I stay with you?"
"Sure" I didn't bother to think of what could go wrong I just looked on the bright side I suppose.
