Take Me Home (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Aly's POV

Its friday, and so far these first few days with Chrissy has actually been pretty great. I have spent most of my time wandering around the city,listening to music, and helping out at Chrissy's boutique.  Atleast now ive ajusted to the time difference, and im not tired anymore. Last night me and Chrissy ordered chinese, sat and watched mean girls, and i went to bed around 11:30.  This morning i woke up at 9:50, feeling good and rested. I woke up, put on some shorts, a tshirt and a sweatshirt. It was wierd, a day in July in New York could be 90 degrees(F), but here in London a high would be about  73. Today was a windier, chillier day, about 65 degress.  I walk downstairs with my phone in my hand.  I set it on the counter and see a not from Chrissy saying she's at work.

I pop a bagel in the toaster, and walk over to phone and put some music on. I got to my albums, hit Take Me Home, and say to myself, "hmmm, i could really go for some rock me". I hit play and listen to Harry's beautiful voice. '...Lying on the beach as the sun blew out,Playing this guitar by the fire too loud,Oh my, my, they could never shut us down...'. I LOVE THIS SONG.  As im waiting for my bagel i start dancing around the kitchen, rocking out.  Next thing I know im singing along on the top of my lungs.." I USED TO THINK THAT I WAS BETTER ALONE..", and then "I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah, I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah, I want you to hit the pedal, heavy metal, show me you care I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah!"  I then jump when i hear the toaster beep, and see my bagel is done.  I let the album play, as i sit down and eat it 'Still The One' starts to play. Wow, I think to myself, these guys are like amazingly talented,perfect, beautiful gods.   What i would give to meet them...

A little while later I head down to Chrissy's shop to hang out, look around, and help if she needs a hand. there's one girl that works for my Aunt, Zoey, who is supersweet.  Everytime im down at the shop she is so friendly, and she seems like she'd be a really great friend. She always tells me about the best stores or places to hang out in London are. So today while i was helping Chrissy reorganize her display of bracelets and matching earings, Zoey comes over to talk.

"Hey Aly!" she says as she takes her spot behind the cash register.  if no ones in the place we would usually just sit there and talk.  

"hey! how are you?" "Great! another day another dollar" she says laughing. I give her a look, as if to say, who says that anymore.

"eww" she says still laughing, "why did i just say that?". Now im laughing too. "Good question haha".

"Hey, so are you doing anything later? And tomorrow night?" she asks me. "umm no, not that i know of".

"ok, well tomorrow night there is this really cool club about 25 minutes away, and a few old friends of mine are coming to town and said they could get me and a friend in. Your supposed to be 18, but im sure we'll be fine. I mean, not that ijm against the law or anything, but you know, you gotta live a little. And if you dont want to go back to Chrissy's you can stay over at my place. And id you want tonight we could go buy some cute little dresses to wear after i get out of work. What do you say?"

honestly, it sounded great. I was glad that I had a friend to hang out with while i spent my time here. I mean, i didnt know anybody elese. And Aunt Chrissy loves Zoey, she thinks she is perfect. Never late, always working hard, she would never assume we were going clubing.

"Yeah! That sounds great!" i say, i reaslly am excited.  Just then Chrissy walks out of her office and i say "hey Chrissy?"

"yeah?" she says, not even looking up from the paper she is signing.

"would you mind if i go shopping later with Zoey, you know, sfter she gets out of work? and then tomorrow can i go to her place to hang out and stay over?"

My aunt looks at me with a smile, almost as if she was excited that i have a friend and someone to hang out with. "of course! you girls have fun!"

I smile at Zoey, and she gives me a thumbs up. Im pumped. At about 5:30 we leave Chrissy's boutique, where we head over to a little stand and each grab a smoothie, then we drive to a store in a little strip mall about 10 minutes away.  It consists of about 7 stores, all in a row, and 3 stores on from the right is a little black and pinked stirped sign that says 'Sara's Dresses'.

"this place is the best!" Zoey says as were waling in. " they have everthing from a sun dress, to a dress for the club, to prom dresses. And all reasonably priced." she says with as a matter of fact kind of tone.

After only an hour and a half of shopping, we are driving home, feeling very accomplished. She bought a bejewled high neck sheath dress, very simple, black, and a bright pink pair of pumps. I buy a tiered mesh balck bodycon dress, with a pair of black heels.  I went home, going ot bed early tonight, i sisnt not want to be tired for tomorrow.

All day all i could think about was clubbing tonight, and being able to go home and tell people how i went to some cool club in London. At about 7:00 Zoey picked me up, we wne t to her place to drop off my stuff and get ready, and by 8:30 we were standing outside with her two friends who were getting us in, with the help of some fake ID's.  As we walked into the club, it was dark, with blaring music, lights flashing, drinks, and people dancing everywhere. My first time in a club, and I was excited for the experience to come.

Hey Guys! I hoped you like Chapter 3! its been kinda slow, but i should be posting apter 4 soon!

Enjoy!!
