Ah, London. It was such a nice place. Maybe it was the fact that I had never really been to a city before but it looked amazing. Hmm I wonder if my accent was good enough to fool the locals. Perhaps I should see. Zack never said that I had to stop using it when got to London, just that I had use it until we get there. I knew the first thing that Zack and I needed to do was go shopping for pajamas as we agreed on. We had a little bit of time before curfew, so we would have time. We had also just finished work.
"Come Zack, we need to be off." I told him.
"You know you don't have keep talking like that." He remarked.
"I know but I wahnt to see if I cahn convince the locals that I'm British." I explained.
The two of us walked into town together. We didn't go any sort of mall but there were quite shops on the corner near we had docked.
"So I have an idea." Zack stated. "I was thinking that we both don't need to spend money on separate pairs of pajamas. How about we buy one set on men's pajamas and you can have the top and I can have the bottom."
"You know thaht ahctually sounds like a good idea." I agreed as I grabbed a set of pajamas and took them to the register and he followed me. "Excuse me we would like to purchase these pyjamas."
The girl at the counter took them and rung them up. "So how long have the two of you been shagging?" She asked.
"Thaht's not really any of your bloody business." I replied with a blush. "And also for your information we are not a couple."
"Okay I'm not going to ask why you both want them." She replied. "But just so know, I think the two of you look smashing together. That will be 22 pounds."
"So how much is that in dollars?" Zack asked.
"It's $34.50" I told him.
"Ooh you've got yourself a yank." The salesgirl gushed. "You definitely shouldn't let this one get away."
Zack gave her the money and we went out because this girl was making me uncomfortable. On the plus side, she seemed to think that I was just as British as she was. I have to see long I can keep this up.
"So now that that's done, I think we should hit the sack." I told him.
"If you're going to keep talking like that I think I'm going to need a translator." He joked as the two of us went back to our room. I had a feeling that Cody was already asleep because he seems like the type to always go to bed before curfew. I took the top and headed to the bathroom to change. I came out wearing it over my underwear. It went about halfway down my thigh and the sleeves were huge.
"It's a good that you didn't tell that girl that we actually have had sex." Zack stated.
"We don't need to tell anyone that." I reminded him. "Who knows what people would think about that based on the timing?"
"I think you would get worse than me." He suggested.
"Yes…bloody double standards. People would definitely think I was a tart." I replied.
"You know I'm starting to think that you think you're British." He replied. I threw a pillow at him. "Of course I prefer this over that that fake gangsta voice you used when you were trying to be a guy."
"Yes that was dreadful." I agreed as I grabbed my pillow. "Night Zack."
I woke up in the morning and found that we were going to be going on a field trip to The London Museum of Natural History. I kind of wished that I could have gone to the American one first but of course there might be more about Darwin at this one since Darwin was, in fact, British.
As we walked into the museum, I noticed that Cody was dressed as…Sherlock Holmes. Oh god, why do I have to go on a date with him? At least it's just one date and then I can solely focus myself on Zack.
I couldn't help but wonder to myself if I should speak or just wander off somewhere with Zack. There probably wouldn't be any fooling around or snogging…making out involved. Wow I think I am starting to think that I am British if my thoughts are coming up that way.
After a long day at the museum, I headed back to my room to get ready to my date. I planned on throwing something on that just looked kind of nice without going all out.
I changed in the bathroom even though Zack wasn't in the room because he could still show up mind changing and that wasn't something that I wanted him to see as long as we weren't a couple.
The four of us were going to meet in the sky deck, Zack didn't even better bother to change but I guess we were going with someone casual so it was okay. Addison wasn't really all that dressed up either. That brings us to Cody. Cody looked like he didn't fit in with our group. He was wearing a full three-piece suit. Yes I am not lying.
"Hey, bro." Zack greeted him. "You look a little overdressed."
"Why am I the only one who's dressed up?" He asked.
"I don't recall hearing anything about a dress code." I replied.
"We probably don't have time to get dressed up." Addison added.
"If you wanted us to dress up, you should have said something." Zack remarked. "Come on let's just go to this restaurant that you have planned for us."
The restaurant wasn't exactly an upscale restaurant. It was probably about an average restaurant. Of course, I have never been to an average restaurant. We ordered our food and sat and waited for it to be ready.
"So Bailey, are you really going to keep talking with a British accent?" Cody asked.
"I may, Cody." I replied, still sounding very British.
"What's up with that, anyway?" Addison asked.
"Zack made a bet with me and I've decided to keep it until we leave London." I explained. "It seems to be fooling people, even the natives."
And at some points, I was fooling myself too, apparently.
"Well I think that's impressive." Addison commented. "There only accent I do as is a bad Asian accent."
She demonstrated and I really wish she hadn't.
"Yeah that sounds offensive." Cody remarked.
"I told you it was really bad." She said. "But this place is really nice."
It wasn't a pub or anything. None of us were of legal drinking age after all. I also think that even if we were, I don't think Mr. Moseby would want us drinking even if we were.
So there really wasn't a lot to talk about between us. Just as I expected, I wasn't really connecting with Cody. I also don't know if it would have been appropriate to talk to Zack because he was also here with a date.
"So Bailey did you watch that special on the calponia harrisonfordi spider?" Cody asked. No, god no. I didn't want to watch anything about spiders.
"No I'm arachnophobic." I answered.
"Hmm that's interesting because Zack is entomophobic." Cody commented.
"What?" Zack and Addison both asked.
"It means I'm afraid of spiders and Zack's apparently afraid of bugs." I explained.
"That is one hundred percent true." Zack replied. "Though, I don't have a problem with spiders, they eat the bugs."
"But I if asked, you kill a spider for me, wouldn't you?" I asked. Wow, I just got dangerously close to revealing that Zack and I were in the same room. I better say something else. "You know if one was on the Sky Deck or something?"
"Yeah probably, because I like you more than the spiders." He replied. Wow that was really romantic.
"That would sound really sweet if you two were boyfriend and girlfriend." Addison commented.
"Yes but it's not like are or anything." I replied. Correction: we weren't yet. I had a feeling that we would be eventually. I don't care if people say Zack's not one who likes to settle down. He's probably just never had a girl that interests him. I'm sure I could be that sort of girl.
Our food eventually arrived and it wasn't the disgusting British food that you always hear about like blood pudding and eel pie. I did have some beef wellington and it was delicious. For dessert we ordered a simple chocolate cake, some of which wound up on Zack.
"Why is it every time there's a cake, some of it ends up on me?" Zack questioned.
"I don't know." I replied as I wiped my hand across his frosting covered cheek. "But at least it's good."
"Yes it's very good." Addison replied as she scarfed a second piece. I don't know if she should have been eating that much.
The four of us walked out of the restaurant together…actually Addison more sprinted out. Zack went after her because she appeared to be on a sugar rush.
"So what did you think, Bailey?" Cody asked me since we were alone.
"Well Cody, I'm pretty sure that you're not going to like this but there's not going to be a second date." I explained. "I know you don't want to hear me say 'it's not you, it's me.'.
"How can it not be me?" He asked.
"Well you're really not my type." I explained. "So it's me because I don't like you like that. I've got my sights on someone else anyway."
"Wow, that's not really letting me down easy." He commented.
"Well I was trying to." I explained. "We wouldn't work Cody."
"So who is this other guy?" He asked.
"Now that is personal." I pointed out as I walked off.
Once the night was over, I returned to my room and found Zack was also there.
"You instead buying one expensive set of pajamas, we should have gotten a few cheaper ones." Zack commented.
"Yeah I suppose that you would have been a good idea." I agreed. "God Cody acted such a git when I tried to tell him I wasn't interested in going out again."
"I don't know what a git is but why don't you want to go out with him again?" He asked.
"He's not really my type." I explained.
"What exactly is your type?" He asked.
"Well I like more macho guys." I explained. "Even though I don't need protection, I still like guys who I know have my back. I also like guys who aren't too controlling. And they have to be able to make me feel good. So how's Addison?"
"I put her to bed." Zack replied. "Chasing after her was pretty exhausting. I don't think I would want to be with her long-term."
"Well it looks like both of dates were dreadful." I replied.
"Well at least we still have each other." He pointed out. Yes and I hoped that soon we would have each other in a different way.
So Bailey and Zack seemed more comfortable with each other than their dates. That's definitely a good sign. They may also be a hooking up of Cody and Addison in the future. And Bailey's British will be staying. Please don't forget to review
