The Perfect Bucket List

Chapter 14: London everywhere.

"So?"

"The following things are ... very silly" I replied without looking into his eyes. I wasn't paying attention to him because of the beautiful view we had from his balcony. London was definitely one of the greatest places on earth. I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with London's fresh air.

"Just tell me"

"Later ... Now we have to go for a walk" I got up from the floor and held out a hand for him, he grabbed it and rose with my help. I sighed as we left the department in silence. We arrived at the reception and still didn't say a word.

"We'll have to take a taxi because my car is still in USA"

"Let's walk" He didn't say anything for a minute "We have to exercise buddy, look at these runny arms" I teased him, pinching his strong arms.

"That's not true, I'm very muscular" He lifted his arm and showed me his muscles. I laughed.

"Of course The Rock but we'll go walking"

"I don't want to" He murmured "Everything is far"

"Okay, then don't come" I started walking. I knew he wouldn't leave me alone.

"You are mean with me" he complained as he walked beside me. I smiled and put an arm around his waist.

"You always say that but it's not true" He chuckled and put his arm around my shoulders.

"What happens is that you know you can do whatever you want with me"

"You don't have another option" we laughed "Does it rain a lot?"

"All the time, why?" He asked. I remembered the next thing on the list: "having a romantic dance in the rain" of course I wasn't going to tell him because he would feel uncomfortable. We were friends; we couldn't have romantic dances. Well, that's what he thought.

"Only wondering, by the way, where are you taking me?"

"I don't know; want to go to the big clock?"

"To the Big Clock? Of course I want to, but wait, do you have a camera?"

"No, do you want to buy one?" I was about to say yes but then I remembered that it would be of no use to take pictures. He seemed to understand me and didn't say anything when I shook my head. Did I tell you how safe and comfortable I felt with his arm around me? I didn't want that moment to end. And not because I was a psychopath or something but because anyone who saw us would have thought we were a happy couple. And I liked that, because it seemed that London was a machine of pretty girls. All of them stared at Tobias, but who won? Me! He was hugging me and not them!

We walked the streets of London embraced in a comfortable silence.

Everything was beautiful: The streets, buildings, telephone booths, landscapes, red trucks like the ones that appear in Harry Potter, even the air felt clean.

And although from the department the Big Ben looked close, we had to walk for about 20 minutes to get there. My heart started pounding in my chest. We were one block from the Big Ben and I was in a dream. There were people taking photos everywhere, it was so beautiful that you wanted to capture it forever.

"It's so beautiful!" I cried when we were close.

"Excuse me" A girl called our attention, she was blonde, tall and beautiful and a camera hanged around her neck "you make a beautiful couple, do you mind if I take you a picture? It's for a cultural magazine"

"Oh, well ..." I was going to refuse and tell her with all the pain of my heart that we weren't a couple, but Tobias interrupted me.

"Thanks and no, we wouldn't mind at all, in fact we were regretting not bringing a camera" He answered with his angelic smile that charmed everyone. She laughed softly.

"Here is your salvation!" She walked a few steps back and pointed at us with the camera. Tobias removed his arm from my shoulders to pass it gently around my waist. I smiled as I felt his touch and turned my gaze to his face. I smiled happily until a flash advertised me that the photo had been taken, I didn't even have time to turn around.

"How did it go out?" Tobias asked still holding me. We walked a few steps toward the girl. She stared at her camera and grinned.

"It's a beautiful photo!" She exclaimed and showed it to us. I wanted to die of embarrassment for a few seconds. Tobias came out perfect, smiling at the camera like a model, but I was looking at his face and smiling like a fool "You look so cute!"

"It's cute" I murmured "Will you publish it?"

"Of course, would you be so kind to tell me your names?"

"Tobias Eaton and Tris Prior" he said. She wrote it all in her cellphone.

"Thank you so much, the magazine will come out this Saturday" She announced pointing at the café across the street.

"Thank you" I smiled. She waved her hand and left. "I'm hungry"

"Me too, let's go there" We walked to the café, got in and sat at a table against the wall. Everything was made out of glass, so we could see the whole monument from inside.

"Did you like the clock?" Tobias asked.

"Yeah" I sighed and my eyes filled up with tears "thank you, thank you very much"

"Thanks for what?" He asked confused. I turned around and looked into his eyes. That guy was a fucking angel "Why are you crying honey?"

"It's just that" he got up from his seat, sat down beside me and hugged me affectionately. "What Happens? You know I hate to see you cry. Do you feel uncomfortable here? Want to return to USA?"

"No" I sobbed in his chest "I love you, Tobias"

"I Love you more" He answered while he rubbed my back. "Don't cry for me, there is much Tobias for everyone"

"Stupid" I got up and hit his arm softly "It's just that if it weren't for you I would probably be crying in my room. Without blood in my body and without having fulfilled even one thing on my list, thanks to you I'm living the life I always wanted and I will always thank you for that"

"Thanks to me you're living the life you always wanted" He repeated with a smile "and you'll keep living this life so you have to tell me what's next on your list"

"What are you going to order?" A waiter asked us.

"Two cappuccinos and two slices of chocolate cake" The man wrote in his notebook.

"In a moment I'll bring you your order"

"So?" Tobias asked as the man left.

"You know skateboarding?" Tobias nodded with a smile "learn to skateboard is the next thing on my list"

"Amazing, then tomorrow we'll go to the park and I'll teach you"

"Why not today?"

"Because today we'll go buy you some clothes"

Glow! I have three Announcements:

I want to answer the question everybody wants to know: Will they get together? Yes, they will. But I have to remind you that the name of the story is: The Perfect BUCKET LIST and it is about how Tris accomplishes everything in it. A lot of things have to happen before they get together, if I make them get together now the story won't make sense.

I have bad news: Since I went back to school, I have a LOT of things to do (homework, socializing with my old/new friends, more homework, books to read from school, books I want to read, etc.) So I will only update on Saturdays and Sundays ): (I promise you won't get less than 2 chapters a week)

When Tris says "I love you Tobias" She means it as LOVE but when he answers "I love you more" He means it in a sense of friendship.

I will give an advanced chapter of the story to the reviews number 100, 105 and 110 so review!

Thank you…

Post you tomorrow!

Arlie.
