London Dreams

Chapter 1- Meet Cute

okay I have 5 minutes on break and the acceptance/rejection emails for Royal London School of Dramatic Arts will be sent out any minute. well you should probably know who i am before you get any further, my name Aria and 17. I just finished high school in Australia and after saving from 10th grade i moved to London. Im working at a Milkshake shop called "milkshake city". my aspiration is too become an actress hence applying for the London drama school. but back to reality.

*you have mail*

Miss Aria Cartright, you have been accepted for early admission at the Royal London School of Dramatic Arts...

oh my god. i actually got it. i actually get to do what i came to london to do. THIS IS TOTALLY AMAZING!

"Aria breaks over get back behind the counter!" jamie was my friend who also happened to be my boss at milkshake city. i was so excited to tell him about the acceptance.

"jamie! jamie! JAMIE!" i yelled across the shop, i was jumping around my computer. he came running out and just looked at me with a totally confused expression, "i. got. in!"

"OMG thats amazing! im so happy for you!" he pulled me into a hug and we jumped around the shop. but eventually we calmed down and i packed away my computer and got behind the counter.

'Til The World Ends' by Britney Spears started pumping through the speakers, Jamie came strutting out and started dancing around the shop. i started laughing uncontrollably, he pulled me by my arm and started twirling me around the shop. he caught me dipped as i continued to laugh.

"um you and your boyfriend work here?" a customer had walked in on our little dance party and i just started laughing again.

"pfft boyfriend? i wish, Jamie's gay. and we do work here" i blubbered out.

"Aria why! do all Australians just blurt out peoples sexuality to complete strangers!" jamie looked angry but amused, i mouthed sorry and got behind the counter.

"so what can i get for you?" i looked up at the customer who i hadn't noticed was drop dead gorgeous. he looked about my age and had bleached hair and dazzling blue eyes that i got so caught up in i didn't hear his order. "um sorry what was that"

"ill have a Marley Blue thanks." he also had the cutest Irish accent id ever heard! Marley Blue was my favourite shake so i knew exactly how to make it with ease.

Jamie walked out reading my class catalogue for RLSDA, he looked up and recognised our customer. he ran to the back of the shop and came back with a camera.

"jamie why have got that thing out?"

"um Aria? its niall from x-factor!" he said like it was the most common thing in the world.

"i just moved here. i haven't even got a tv how am i supposed to know whos on X-factor!" niall chuckled and i couldn't help but smile.

Jamie got me to get in the photo with Niall since we were the only people working tonight, niall put his arm around my waist and slid something in my back pocket. i blushed uncontrollably when his hand brushed passed my butt. rested my arm on his shoulder and we smiled for the picture, i made up his milkshake and pulled out a sharpie from behind the counter and wrote my number on the cup.

"call me sometime..." i handed him the milkshake and he smiled and nodded his head.

*ring ring ring ring*

i pulled out my phone, *unknown number*

"hello?"

"hey im free tonight if you want to come to the local pub with me?" i heard nialls voice echoing down the phone and in the shop.

i turned around and smiled widely at him, he laughed back at me.

"Jamie can get off early tonight?" i yelled across the shop.

"yea sure you deserve a party. congrats on Royal London School again!" he yelled back to me. i took off my apron and quickly changed in the bathroom, niall waited for me outside sipping his milkshake.

"so where too?"

"well I was thinking O'Halleys? It's a Irish pub round the corner." he pointed to cute little pub, it looked really nice so we went there.

I ordered vodka on the rocks and Niall had a Heineken, after the pub closed we headed to a nightclub and danced all night. We were in the heat of the dancing when someone bumped me and a fell into Niall's arms, I looked up at him and gave him a small smile. He smiled back and his lips met mine, I opened my lips and deepened the kiss. His arms tightened around me and my fingers tangled in his hair, we stumbled off the dance floor still connected at the lips.

We found a corner booth and kissed all night, he lips left a love bite on my neck. I looked at my phone and it was 2am, I pulled Niall out the front to clear my head.

"I think... I should probably get home... it's really late." I slurred through my drunkenness.

"yea good idea I'll walk you home, I wanna make sure your safe, what ways to your place." he smiled at me, how is it that I'm completely smashed and he looks totally refreshed?

"ummm," I looked to the left and then right, " crap! I have no idea. I've only been here a week..."

"umm you can come stay at the x- factor house if you want? I'm sure since your lost they'll allow it." he grabbed my hand and flagged a taxi, we reached a huge house with all the lights off.

I looked out the window with my mouth hanging down, Niall opened the door for me and escorted me to the door. He placed his finger to my lips, I pretended to zip my lips shut and he walked me up to a room filled with bunk beds. I tried to avoid stepping on any clothes but it was kinda hard since they were everywhere! I heard someone moan and some sheets ruffle, I froze. squeezing my eyes shut feeling like i was suddenly made of stone, i opened one eye and someone looked over the side of the top bunk and was now staring at me confused.

"um who are you?" I looked around the room wondering where Niall had gotten too.
