Today is Saturday. I've already been here for almost 3 weeks. Which means today is my last day in London. It's kinda sad. I love this place.
I don't have any plans for today. I just don't want to go back home. Not yet. I'm going to miss London so much.. the weather, the park, the theater, even the people here... like Helena..
While I was busy daydreaming about Helena, I suddenly feel the need to go to the park. For one last time. But I don't want to just walking around the park. I want something special. How about picnic? Picnic sounds pretty fun.
So I'm preparing everything for my picnic. A blanket for me to sit down, a bottle of iced tea, 2 cans of diet coke, a book (poetry pharmacy), and a sandwich. I put them inside my backpack because I just don't want to look too old fashioned if I bring a picnic baskets.
I took a quick shower. Then look at my closet to find a perfect outfit. After 10 minutes of struggle, I finally chose a flowery casual dress and some jacket. I'm so proud of my taste of style today. I put some light make up. Then ready to go.
This is your outfit
I walk to the park all by myself. I keep walking around the park to find a perfect spot for my special picnic. After half an hour, I finally find a perfect spot. Under the shady tree and not too crowded. Only a few people there.
I roll out my blanket and sat down. Pull out my sandwich and iced tea. It's really peaceful here. I eat my sandwich while watching my surroundings. Then drink on my tea.
After I finished my sandwich, I took my book out from my backpack. And begin to read. 20 minutes passed and I feel tired from sitting. So I decided to lay down. Keep reading the book. The weather really nice today. I started to dozed off with a book covering my face.
I was woken up by someone nudging my foot. Then immediately sitting up. I startled. I'm still half asleep.
"Hello there.. are you okay?" A women voice come from beside me. She sounds concerned. "Hold on a second. I know you. Y/n??" She continued.
I tried to gather my senses. And focusing my sights. Guess who?
"Helena??"
"Yes it's me." She chuckled.
"Is this a dream?" I asked confused.
"No love. It's not a dream. In fact I just woke you up from your dream" she said and now sitting down beside me.
"What are you doing here? What am I doing here?" Helena laughed at me because of my dysfunctional brain.
"I often come here to read. And also it's my day off. So yeah. That's my reason. And why are you sleeping here?"
"Oh my brain just need a second to start to function. Hold on." Helena laughed again. After a few blinks I finally back to the earth.
"I came here for a little picnic. Enjoying myself. Then I think I fall asleep with my book." My face blushing hard from embarrassment.
"You are a really unique girl y/n" she smiled.
"T-Thanks Helena," and continue "but wait. Is London this small? I mean. This is my third time meeting you.. by accident. It's not like I'm complaining. It's just.. this is a great coincidence" I explained.
"Frankly I was thinking the same thing. But what if it wasn't a coincidence tho.. what if it's our destiny?"
"Well. If it is our destiny, I give you all my condolences Miss Bonham Carter. Because you have to meet your annoying fans over and over again" i said jokingly and she laughed.
"You're crazy!" She chuckled.
"I am. A little. Don't worry. Don't freak out." She laughed again.
"Anyway. How long you'll stay here?" She asked.
"Actually.. today is my last day here. I'll go back to y/c tomorrow night"
She didn't say anything. Seems like she's thinking. And start to look a little bit disappointed while she zoned out.
"Heyy did you realize that our outfit looks kind of similar???" She's back from her thoughts because of my sudden comments.
(Helena wearing the outfit like on the picture way up there 👆🏼)
She look at her dress and then mine. "You were right!! We look like a couple." She said laughing. I'll pretend I didn't hear the last part.
"Can we take a picture?? This moment need to be memorialized." I exclaimed.
"Alright alright.. let's take a picture"
We stand up and took a bunch of selfies. She took a picture of me, I do the same. It turn to be a photoshoot.
"Hellie.. Hellie.. Helena.. can we please do one more? Pleaseee.." I beg her like a little kid.
"Okay dear. What should we do now?"
"How about pretending a kiss on the cheek? I want to show that to my best friend so she get jealous of me" I grinned.
"Okay I'm ready" she said quickly without needing further instructions.
We both ready in our position. Face side by side. Phone on my hand. Ready to take a selfie.
"Okay.. 1..2..3.. kiss-"
We both turn our face at the same time. So my lips accidentally kiss her lips.
I'm so shocked. "OH.. MY.. GOD.. I'm so sorry Helena. I didn't mean to.. I.. I.. it's not-"
"Calm down y/n. It's okay. I'm not mad." She cut me off and just laughed hysterically. My face turns red like a tomato.
Even I only kiss her for one second. I can feel her lips. Her lips were so soft. I want to feel that lips again. I want to taste her.
This is crazy! I just kissed Helena Bonham Carter. Well. Accidentally kiss her. Woohoo..
HELENA'S POV
"Calm down y/n. It's okay. I'm not mad." I cut her off and laughed hysterically. Her face turns red. This girl is really funny. I like her a lot.
I don't really know her too well. We've only meet 3 times in a past few weeks. But I feel some sort of connection with this girl.
Y/n is a smart girl. Really funny. A little bit crazy. Very beautiful too. She reminds me of myself. I forgot to mention that she also very attractive..
Attractive? Oh god Helena! She is 30 years younger than you! And she will leave the city tomorrow.
I shook my head and back to reality. She look at me, concerned.
"Are you okay Helena?" She asked.
"Wait what? Did you say something?"
"Not really. I just ask you if you're okay. Because you seems zoned out a few times" she chuckled.
"I'm fine. Just thinking about works and kids." I lied and smile at her.
I need to see her again.. I need to..
"Hey y/n. You said that you'll leave tomorrow night. Is that right?" I asked.
"Yes. Why?"
"I just thinking. Maybe. Just maybe. You would like to go out with me tomorrow? Lunchtime." She didn't say a word, I panicked. Am I being too forward?
I continue, "It just some kind of a farewell party, well in this case farewell launch. I know it seems weird. It's okay if you-"
"Of course Helena. I'd love to" she cut me off and put her hand on my hand.
What is this? This feeling. It's a strange feeling. I've never felt like this before especially towards women.
"Right.. Awesome.. So we will meet again tomorrow at 11 am. Is that okay?" I asked.
"Of course. Where? And what should I wear?"
"At your favorite coffee shop. Just wear something casual and comfortable dear." I smiled at her.
"Okie. I'll wear my pajamas then"
"Well.. that'll do too honey!" I laugh.
We just sat there for another hour. Enjoying each other's company.
"Do you want a drink Hellie?" She suddenly asked.
"Well sure. What do you have?"
"I only have Diet Coke." She grinned.
"I'd love to have one, please"
"Luckily I brought 2 cans" she handed me one of the coke.
"What a coincidence" i said.
"Destiny" she smiled.
Destiny indeed.
