What makes you beautiful chapter 2
After the drama at the train station I was left reeling by what happened, I tried to regain my composure whilst waiting for my taxi. I couldn't believe what had just happened and more frustratingly I couldn't get his stupid grin out of my head, there was just something about him that captivated me, he was gorgeous, and I'm sure he knew that, with all the preteens fan girling over him at every opportunity how could he not, I'd never been the type of girl that obsessed over boy bands or famous people but there was just something about him. After arriving 20 minutes late my taxi finally arrived, the driver kindly helped me ram my luggage in the boot and opened the door for me to slide in. After telling him my new address he took off. I couldn't help but notice the experienced way he negotiated the London traffic, yes he sometimes drove like a mad men but then again I've always been the type of girl that loved a bit of adventure. After swerving round a few dodgy corners he gradually came to a stop outside a luxury apartment building. Luckily for me my bestest friend in the world was a second year at the same university as me, and her parents were LOADED. Kat was kind enough to let me have one of the spare rooms in her penthouse apartment rent free, which was ideal for us both because I really didn't fancy shacking up in the student digs. Her parents have already paid in advance for the next three years so we had nothing to worry about finance wise, she still had an extra room available but we both decided to keep that free in case our families decided to pay us a visit. I walked into the spacious lobby and made a beeline for the front desk, I gave the man my name and he handed me my apartment key and that was that. I was officially a resident in this 5* apartment complex, it felt amazing. As I turned around with my bags to head towards the elevator I noticed a burly group of security come marching in surrounding what must have been a small group of celebrities. Exciting as this was I was more concerned in getting into an elevator. After what seemed like an eternity of trying not to stare at the mystery people surrounded by guards the elevator finally pinged onto the ground floor. As I stepped inside the elevator the guards started to disperse and just briefly my eyes connected with the greeny blue eyes I'd seen earlier, I saw his handsome face break into a smile just as the elevator doors close.
I shook myself out of my stupor and focused on my new apartment, this was going to be the first time I had actually seen what it was like. Kat had been determined that she wanted to keep my new home as a secret; I know that she's had my room decorated so it was going to be a total surprise. I paused outside the door and took a deep breath; I slowly turned the key and pushed open the huge door. I stepped inside of the foyer and gasped out loud, I had never seen such a massive space so beautifully decorated, it was the perfect combination of me and Kat, the walls were painted white with one bright red feature wall, the white walls were strewn with canvases showing iconic scenes in Disney musicals. The black leather sofas that surrounded the room were covered in brightly coloured throws and cushions and the balcony windows were concealed with some red and black designer blinds. I dropped my bags on the floor expecting Kat to rush out a room somewhere but all I could here was silence. I shouted out but no one answered, well that was just charming. I picked my bags back up and followed a corridor off to the left, there was no doubting which room was mine, Kat had glued a huge gold star to the bedroom door with my name spelt out in red sequins in the middle. That girl new me far too well. I opened the door and stepped into my new bedroom, I was astounded, the walls were painted a gorgeous dark red, my favourite colour. The dark wooden four poster bed was surrounded with thick red and black patterned curtains and a vast black chandelier hung from the ceiling, words could not express the beauty of my room. Most of my possessions had been shipped over the week before and I was touched to see that Kat had already put them all away for me, even the family photo frames had been put up around the room, with the canvas of me and my little sister hanging above my bed. Seeing as though Kat was out I got to work hanging the rest of my clothes up in my new walk in wardrobe and putting all of my toiletries away in my en suite. Just as I put the last few things away I heard a key in the front door, I ran through to the main room just as the door opened to reveal Kat stood their looking sheepish. 'Where were you' she said as she stepped inside, enveloping me into a massive hug 'I heard there was a lot of commotion at the station so I drove down to pick you up, I couldn't find you anywhere' I grabbed her arm and pulled her down on to the sofa and continued to tell her all about the events of my day. As I finished telling the story she just sat and stared at me. 'Are you telling me that you ACTUALLY had physical contact with the fittest person on earth' I burst into hysterical laughter at her wonderstruck facial expression. ' I wouldn't go that far I said through my laughter, he's no David Beckham, and I wouldn't exactly call him knocking me flying physical contact, its more along the lines of physical assault' We both fell into hysterics and spent the rest of the night on the sofa catching up and sharing stories from the past year.
The next morning I woke up to an empty apartment, I dragged myself down into the kitchen to find a note from Kat saying that she'd had to pop into the university campus for an emergency rehearsal and that she'd be home sometime around 3ish. I glanced at the clock above the counter and realised it was only 10.30; I decided then that I might as well do some sightseeing of the surrounding area. I forced myself into the shower and let the steaming water waken me up; I washed my hair and body with my favourite coconut body wash and dried myself of with a plush red towel. I rubbed some curl enhancer into my hair and allowed it to dry in its natural curls. I quickly dressed myself in my bright red skinny jeans and a grey tank top with my converse and a dark grey hoodie, I grabbed my shades off of my dresser and picked up my bag and purse, I let myself out of the apartment and locked the door behind me. When I got down into the lobby it was strangely quiet and deserted after the chaos that occurred yesterday.
I spent a good hour or two walking aimlessly around the streets seeing what the area had to offer eventually I found this gorgeous little coffee shop, it was mostly deserted and looked incredibly cosy. I opened the door and was delighted to hear one of those old fashioned bells jingling above the door. A friendly looking old man popped his around the door from the back signalling to me that he wouldn't be a minute. I moved towards the counter to get a closer look at what was on offer, I finally decided on a chocolate cappuccino. The old man eventually came through from the back room and took his place behind the counter; I ordered my coffee and requested it to go making a mental note of the location of the shop so I could definitely return. As I handed my money to the man I heard the bell above the door go again followed the chatting and laughter of a few boys as he handed me my drink I turned around to walk out only to collide with something that sent my drink flying all down the front of my grey hoodie. 'Fuck, I'm so sorry' I looked up instantly recognising that voice, my green eyes met with his greeny blue ones and I knew he recognised me too. 'Do you make a habit of knocking into innocent people?' I snapped 'No, not really, only the beautiful one' he said, grinning like a Cheshire cat. 'Wow, how obviously cheesy of you' I scowled in the direction of his friends who were trying to desperately control their laughter. 'At least let me buy you a new drink, please?' he begged, I looked up at him and felt my frosty exterior melt away, 'it doesn't matter' I sighed 'I should probably get back home anyway' He looked at me sadly 'Are you sure? At least take my hoodie, I've completely ruined yours, please take it it's the least I could do' I looked at his hoodie and couldn't help but notice that it was cute, 'Well I guess you have a point, mine is definitely ruined and its far too cold to walk home without a jacket, Thank you.' He removed his hoodie and draped it over my shoulders; I couldn't help but shiver as his hand grazed down my bare arm it didn't help that he was stood only a few inches in front of me wearing a tight white t-shirt that perfectly emphasised his chiselled chest and abdomen. 'Do I at least get to know your name?' he asked me kindly 'Its Frankie' I replied 'Cool' he beamed 'My names L' I quickly interrupted him saying 'yeah I know your name, its Lewis right?' He burst into laughter and said 'well actually its Louis, but good guess' I felt my face flush the brightest of red. I needed to leave NOW! ' OK well thanks for knocking into me AGAIN, thanks for the jacket, I'll make sure you get it back' I made a quick beeline for the door he shouted Bye after me whilst flashing me a cheeky wink I shouted my goodbyes back before quickly turning around and shouting 'nice album by the way'. The last thing I saw before the door close behind me was his handsome face crease into a grin. Brilliant, now that's gonna be the image I'll be seeing in my dreams tonight.
