Before long, Emma had realized how close me and James had gotten in the past
few minutes, we were constantly talking and joking about things and he remained
close to me.
Mattie could tell that Falon had a thing for him, and it seemed that he also
liked her, so he began to concentrate on getting to know her. Emma and Hayley
thought it best to leave me and James alone for a while, so they joined in
Falon�s and Mattie�s conversation along with Lorna, who was looking really
anxious to chat to Charlie.
About 5 minutes went by before Charlie exited the building holding a backpack
over his left shoulder. Lorna walked up to him and told him that she knew who he
was, so he smiled and began to talk to her as we headed towards Covent Gardens.
During our 20 minute walk, James and I became even closer, it was like we were
destined to be together. He put his arm around me and I felt something inside me
say to me that we were falling in love. Mattie and Falon seemed to be hitting it
off too, and so were Lorna and Charlie. Lorna had introduced herself during our
walk and had asked Charlie to call her Lori, and he asked if she would call him
Chase.
When we arrived at Covent Gardens, Charlie asked Lorna if she wanted to go for
a walk, she thought she was in heaven, so she replied straight away with a �Yes!
I�d love to!� so they went off somewhere, I�m not quite sure where, but they
told us that they�d meet us at 7pm outside burger King.
Mattie asked if Falon would like to do the same, so they went off in the
opposite direction to Charlie and Lorna.
Only Emma, Hayley, James and I remained.
�So, where do you gurlz wanna go?� asked James looking at the 3 of us.
�I don�t mind.� I replied, before looking at Emma and Hayley. They kinda
caught my drift and decided to go off shopping on their own, leaving me and
James.
�Hey, I�ve just remembered this place that I�ve been meaning to go to for
ages, come on, I�ll show you!� whispered James as he took my hand and led me off
to the left. I had no idea where he was taking me because I�d only been to
London twice before, and that was with my English class the second time and with
some Canadian and English Guides the first time, about 3 years before.
It took us a further 10 minutes to get to where he had been longing to go to.
He had led me in the direction of the London eye and asked me �Have you ever
been on the London Eye?� I hadn�t, I�d only ever seen it from a distance, so he
led me there and paid for the two of us. We stepped into one of the compartments
shortly after arriving and the door was shut behind us. James and I had the
compartment completely to ourselves as he had requested and it didn�t in the
least bother us, at least this way, we could spend some time alone.
When our compartment had become high enough off the floor for anyone to enter
through the door, James removed his hooded top and threw it on one of the seats,
before walking over to me and wrapping his arms around me.
�I knew there was something special about you the instant I saw you!� he
whispered to me as he kissed me softly on the lips. I couldn�t believe it, my
first kiss was with the boy that I�d always dreamt of going on a date with!
Not long after, someone in a compartment noticed James and took a photo when
he was sitting next to me holding my hand, talking about random things.
�Great, I�ve been spotted!� he said as he looked at the person who had taken
the photo. �Oh well, I don�t really care!� he looked at me and smiled, �As long
as we�re in here together, who cares what people will say!� He leant over and
kissed me again. Another flash from the person�s camera penetrated the glass and
James didn�t seem to care about it. �So, what do you think of the views?� he
asked as our lips parted.
�They�re great, but they don�t look half as good as you!� I answered, blushing
a little.
�Thanks! You know, I�ve never met someone like you before!� he said staring
into my eyes. �Are you from around here?� he asked.
�Sadly, no, I live near a so called historical city called Durham in the
North-East, I�m staying at my friends cousins for another week and a half,
before I have to go back home!� I answered, wishing that I did live nearer to
him.
�Where about is Durham, maybe we could come up and do a gig near there and
give you and your friends backstage passes.� He suggested.
�Well, it�s kinda near Newcastle, you�ll probably find it on a map or
something, we got the train down from Durham train station to Kings Cross
yesterday, maybe you could find out there!� I said hopefully.
�Well, I know where Newcastle is, so it won�t take me too long to find Durham.
Have you got a pen and paper?� he asked.
�Yeah, here.� I handed him a pen and some paper and he scribbled something
down. �Make sure that you keep this safe!� he said, handing the paper and pen
back to me. I read it and saw that he�d given me an email address.
�Have you got an email address?� he asked.
�Yeah, do you want me to write it for you?�
�Sure, if you don�t mind, that way, we could keep in touch, and I�ll probably
invite you and some friends down whenever you�re free! I could even pay for you
if you�d like that!�
I wrote my email address down and handed it to him.
�Thanks! Can I borrow your pen for a minute?�
�Sure!� I replied.
He scribbled something on the piece of paper that I had given him with my email
address on, before placing it in a zip pocket in his top and handing me my pen
back.
�Where do you want to go next?� he asked.
�Anywhere that you want, you�ll know London better than me!� I gazed into his
gorgeous blue eyes and he gazed back into mine.
�Sure, anything that you want, besides, now that I�ve met you, my life seems
to have become more complete, you mean more to me than what my past girlfriends
did, and I wish that we could be together not too much later on in life!� he
said as he took hold of my hands. �Have you got anything planned for tomorrow?�
�Well, we were planning to spend the day in Brighton and possibly go
swimming.� I whispered into his ear.
�Mind if I tag along? I�ve got nothing planned.� He whispered back.
�I don�t see why not, but what if people notice you?� I asked, concerned for
him.
�Don�t worry, I�ve been to Brighton loads of times before, and hardly anyone
has stopped me,� he said, brushing my hair behind my left ear. �So, is it a
date?�
�Yeah, but where are we going to meet?� I asked.
�Outside where you are staying, we could drive you gurlz there!�
�Sure why not, we�re leaving at about 11 o�clock.� I told him before writing
Sandra�s address down for him.
