Stay With Me

Chapter 2

The day had finally arrived when I would be joining my bother and friends in England and I was more than ecstatic. Obviously I would miss our parents but I had gotten used to being away from them at college and I knew London held great adventures. I hugged and kissed my parents and headed to security.

On the plane I got to my seat and it was taken by this old lady and a boy sitting right next to her. I panicked. I didn't know what to do, and it must have shown on my face because at that minute the boy looks at me and says "Darling!There you are! I thought I lost you!" I looked confused for a second but then I realized that he was trying to get me my seat back. "Um... Ya, sorry, I was... in the bathroom." I said in reply. "I'm sorry ma'am, but this is my fiancée and it would be really nice if we could sit together." The boy said. "Oh of course, I'll just get my bag and move." The old woman said and the boy got up and helped the old lady with her bags. He was such a nice boy. I'd have to remember to thank him. I mean we'll definitely have time.

When the boy came back he put my luggage in the overhead compartment and sat down then motioned for me to sit next to him. I sat down and said "Oh my goodness, thank you so very much! That was the nicest thing ever." He smirked at me and said shyly "It was nothing, my name's Christian, by the way." I thought for a minute and said "Um, this is a weird question but... uh, are you possibly staying in London for the summer? I know that's weird but -" he cut me off before I could finish the sentence. "Ya I am! How did you know that? Wait, can you read my mind? That'd be awesome!" I smiled and said "No, it's just that we're renting this flat in London this summer with a guy named Christian." "Well then," he said "I guess that would be me, which one are you?" He asks "I'm Iris" I say "I thought you were supposed to be in London already though?" "Oh ya, that," he says "somehow the flights got screwed up and now I'm on this one! It's crazy that we both got on this flight!!" he says enthusiastically, "Ya, that's really weird! But kind of cool!" For the rest of the flight we talked and laughed and got to know each other.

When the plane landed we went through and customs and then we took a bus from Heathrow airport into actual London. Once we got there I asked "So do you happen to know anything about London?" "Not a clue, how about you?" Christian asked. "Me neither, this should be fun. Well, Christian Novelli, would you like to explore London with me?" He nodded his head and we took off, in search of our flat.

By the time we found the flat it was dark and cold. We knocked on the door, Pip opened it and said "Hey Iz and strange boy I do not know? Iz, you do know mom always told us not to pick up people on the street." I laughed and said "Pip, this is Christian, our flat mate?" Christian waved. "Oh my goodness!" Pip said "Welcome to our, and your, summer home." Pip motioned us in.

We got the two rooms that were left. Pip was sharing a room with Dillon and Samantha was sharing a room with Hannah Elizabeth. There were two small rooms left, one for Christian and one for myself. I wasn't hungry because while we were looking for the flat Christian and I decided to grab supper at a local pub. It's actually pretty close, I might make it a usual thing, I'll have to tell Dillon. I was so tired after we finally got there and we chose our rooms that I went straight to bed. I barely remembered to take off my shoes.
