'Are you sure that I should call him?' I ask Kiara.

'Yess! I texted George too. If you're not going to text or call him, he's going to think that you don't like him.'

'But I do, that is the worst part about all of this.'

'Worst part? Woman, you are made to be with him. You two looked so perfect together last night. Just call him, Leala. Or I will do it for you,' Kiara says and tries to take my phone out of my hand.

I jump out of bed. 'Fine, I'll call him. But I'm going to do my hair first because I look like I got electrocuted.' I walk over to the bathroom and try to manage my hair. I washed it before we went to bed because it smelled so bad. The only downside to that is that it's now a mess. I try to detangle as much as I can, but after a few minutes, I'm done. There is no point in it, and I'm too tired to do it anyway. I put on a little bit of make-up just so the bags under my eyes go away a little bit. It's not too much, and it still looks natural, but not like I just got out of bed.

'Hurry your ass up woman!' Kiara yells at me from the bed.

'Calm down, I'm already done,' I say as I walk back into the room. I sit down on the chair and take my earphones out of my bag.

'What are you doing?'

'Putting in my earphones, so that I can hear him better.'

Kiara shakes her head. She stands up from the bed and rips the earphones out of my hands. 'I want to listen! Let me be a part of your love story, please.'

I want to argue with her so bad, but I know there is no point in winning, and I don't have the energy for it. 'Fine. But you keep your mouth shut.'

'Zipped,' Kiara says and sits down on the bed again.

I find Lando his number in my contact and FaceTime him. My heart is racing as I wait for him to answer. Maybe he's still asleep. What if he doesn't have time to talk? What if he doesn't want to talk to me? What if he-.

My thoughts get interrupted by Lando appearing on my screen. His hair is a mess. It looks like he is still in bed. But the biggest thing that I notice is his glasses.

'I don't know you had glasses,' I notice.

'There is a lot about me that you don't know yet, but good morning.'

'Good morning,' I smile. It feels like we just picked up where we left yesterday. 'I didn't wake you up, did I?'

Lando shakes his head. 'I have to get up in half an hour to work out anyway.'

'That sucks.'

'Kind of. It will at least give me some energy. Otherwise, I will be in bed all day. How did you sleep last night? Or actually this morning,' Lando says. 

'Really good actually. Maybe I was too tired to notice the uncomfortable things, but I went out like a light this morning. What about you? Did you had to travel a long way home?'

'No, an half an hour or so, but it felt like 5 minutes, which is great. What are your plans for today? Any sightseeing?'

'A little. We're going around with a bus which takes us to all the places. We were going to have a chilled day, but I wanted to ask you something,' I say as I look up to Kiara for a moment.

Her eyes are big; in shock of what I'm doing.

'Go ahead.'

'Do you want to go out for dinner tonight if you have time?'

A big smile appears on Lando his face. 'That would be great. Should I pick you up at seven?'

'Sounds good to me. I'll see you tonight. Have fun working out.'

'Have fun exploring London.'

I have to the camera and then end the call.

'Oh, my god1' I yell and jump up from the chair. 'I just asked him out. I did that!'

Kiara jumps up from the bed too and bounces along with me. 'My god. We have so much to do! We have to buy you a good outfit for tonight and see the city. We have to go. There is not enough time today to get you ready for your date.'

'There is enough time. Relax,' I say to her, but I'm still freaking out myself. I'm going on a date with a very cute, handsome guy, who I am completely falling for.
