Oc X England Chapter 2
The next day, the same thing seems to occur. There is knocking on the door which wakes her. She crawls out of bed and goes to the door.
Arthur is tapping his foot impatiently. He wanted to make sure she would be ready to go by nine so he decided to come at eight. She opens the door and he sighs when he realizes she just woke up. Laci realizes it is Arthur Kirkland from yesterday and just leaves the door open as she walks away to get ready.
Arthur walks in and shuts the door behind him. His eyes widen as clothes are thrown everywhere in the living room with her suitcase open in the middle of the room. "Did someone break in?" He asked confused for the drastic change from yesterday.
"Haha. Very Funny. I was packing thank you very much."
"Are you being serious?"
She glares at him and Arthur takes that as a yes.
She finishes packing and he takes her to his car and she feels a weird feeling like she's done this before. He takes her to the airport and they soon board the plane. He let her have the window seat. She is sits there nervously looking out the window. The plane starts up and their flight begins after the flight attendant announces the same ritual spleal about safety that no one ever listens to.
Arthur looks over at Laci and notices that she is slightly shaking. "Are you okay?" He asks concerned.
"Yeah. I just don't care for flying. I'ld rather be on solid ground where I know if I'm falling then there's a good chance I won't die." She says quietly.
"The plane isn't going to crash." He says simply.
"That's what they all say."
He sighs loudly. "Just take a nap, you will feel better and I'll wake you up when we arrive."
She laughs in disbelief, "I'm not sleeping. If I'm going to die on this plane, I want to see it coming."
He pinches his forehead. "Fine. Just read a book or something then."
She stares at him for a good minute before reaching for her book on England. Opening it slowly, she begins ignoring him.
He rolls his eyes and gets the flight attendant to get him some tea. When she brings it Laci's eyes dart to it and takes it and sips it before Arthur gets a chance to. His eye twitches before ordering another one.
The flight carries on and soon the plane lands. Arthur looks over at the pain in his butt and realizes she's asleep. He slightly smirks thinking about how she said she wouldn't sleep. When he tries waking her, she just ignores him. Arthur sighs and picks her up and carries her off the plane, gets their stuff, and gets in his private car and gets in the back with her as his butler drives them to his manor.
She groans softly and rubs her eyes. Laci looks up and sees Arthur looking out the window. Her face gets red as she realizes she's on his lap. Laci sits up surprising Arthur. She looks out the window not moving off him.
He rolls his eyes and just lets it happen.
They arrive at the manor and the butler opens the door for them. Laci gets out and looks around amazed almost forgetting about Arthur. He grabs their bags. "Laci. Come on, I'll show you your room."
She smiles at him and runs over to him as they head in. Her mouth drops as she looks around his main hallway. There was two staircases that went at an angle to lead upstairs. The steps were white marble with black in them. He had black wood floors and tall ceilings that reminded her of a castle. The ceiling had grand glass chandelier. "Wow..." she says breathlessly.
He smiles now, "I see you can appreciate art." He takes her up the steps and goes to the left wing of the house. At the end of the hall there is a huge double door. They go there and he opens for her and Laci flips out with how huge and beautiful it is. There's a large king bed with black and white lace bedspread. A large window with curtains to pull to let in a mass amount of light in. Laci giggles and runs to the huge bed and flops back onto it. Arthur sets her stuff down next to the dresser. Laci gets up and runs over and his him tightly, "Thank you so much Arthur."
He had tensed up but he relaxes and pats her back gently. She lets go and smiles. He looks down at her, "What would you like for lunch?"
She smirks, "Fish and chips."
He rolls his eyes and heads downstairs to tell his cook. Arthur starts making his favorite snack.
After a few hours Laci ventures downstairs and smells something delicious. She runs into the kitchen and sees scones and gets excited. She grabs some oven mitts and takes the scones out since they were done. Laci waits for them to cool and turn the oven off. After they cool she takes one out and takes a bite of it just as Arthur walks in. He freezes staring at her. She smiles at him and swallows as the flavors make her taste buds dance. He waits for her to spit it out like everyone else does. To his surprise, she takes another bite. Arthur's face lights up excitedly. "You like them?"
She smiles nodding, "Yeah they taste great!"
He has a grand smile as he takes one of his scones out and eats it. 'Huh. It's not black as it usually is. Oh well it still tastes good.' Arthur thinks to himself.
The cook comes out of the other kitchen saying lunch is ready. They both sit in the smaller dining room with a round table having twelve seats around it. She sits down and he sits in the grandest seat that was probably his. It had 'Arthur' inscribed onto it. They eat in awkward silence and Laci speaks up to break the silence. "So what's our plans for tomorrow?" was asked awkwardly from the girl.
"We are going to see the London Eye and in the evening we will go to the Royal Opera House."
Her eyes light up, "What opera are we seeing?"
"Phantom of the Opera."
She squeals then covers her mouth and hides her blush. Arthur shrugs it off and finishes his food then takes both their places to the kitchen.
"Do you want me to give you a tour of the rest of the house?" He asks and Laci nods excitedly.
