I followed Louis all the way to the highest floor of the hotel building.    

    "Where are we going?" I asked him.

    "To the roof." He replied.

    "Are you crazy? It's freezing out there!" He just laughed and pulled me with him for another 2 minutes until we stopped.

    "Okay. Follow my lead." I watched as he opened the door of a hotel room and it led to a ladder.

    "You're saying I have to climb that?"

    "I'll be right behind you! It's only a few steps." He walked to the ladder and opened the latch that led to the sky.

"Okay I'll do it. But if I die, you're to blame." He chuckled and I started up the ladder. I could feel the icy rain drops on my hair as my lungs felt the cold air. I looked back down and Louis was already on his way up.

"Isn't it just beautiful?" As confused as I was, I looked the way he was looking and I was astonished. You could see all of London from the roof, the lights, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and so many shops and buildings. I couldn't believe it.

"Wow!" I exclaimed.

"You don't see this in America, do ya?" He asked staring at me,

"Definitely not." I looked out onto London. It was gorgeous.

"See anywhere you'd want to go?" He asked me as we sat down on the concrete floor. I realized I was drenched and I didn't have a jacket. It felt like sitting on an ice ocean.

"Probably Downtown. Then the Big sites." I shivered. God, was it freezing out here.

"Are you cold? Here take my jacket." He handed me his Black jacket and I shook my head. "Just take it! You'll be frozen in 20 minutes if you don't." I smiled and took it from him. We stared out into London until we both realized we should go inside.

    As we stepped down the ladder he took my hand once again and led me all the way downstairs. I couldn't believe it, It was only my first day in London and I've already seen the prettiest view. Once we were downstairs, we headed outside to the bus stop.

    "We're going downtown right?" He asked me as he pulled out his card. I nodded and we got on one of the red buses. I opened my phone and it was already 2 pm. I also had 3 text messages.

                        Mom

Hey Honey How's it going?

It's going great

That's good. When are you coming back

Hold on one second.

Louis was sitting next to me and he was scrolling through instagram. 

"When do you think we'll be done." I asked him as he looked up at me.

"Probably around 6.But it depends on what you want to do." I texted mom when I'd be home and then the bus driver called out for downtown and me and Louis got up.

    "I think we should get jackets first." I pointed to a jacket store and he nodded. We got two black jackets and walked along the sidewalk.

    "We definitely need to take you to Harrods." He looked at me.

    "I've heard about it. What do they have there?" I said as we walked in the directions of Harrods.

    "Everything, you'll see." We walked into Harrods and I gasped. It was beautiful.
