Give Me Love
Chapter 1.
Ashley's POV
"Hurry up, Ash!" called Trish.
"Coming!"
I guess I should tell you about myself... I'm Ashley Neilson, 19 years old and I have just moved from LA here to London with my best friend, Trish.
Trish and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember and ever since we were 18 we have been planning on moving to London. As much as we love the life in LA, it has always been a dream of ours since we were little to move to England, and now that we're old enough, I guess we just went for it.
As for my family, my parents died in a car crash when I was 14, which made my older brother, Drew, my legal guardian. We were very close and the death of our parents happened to make us even closer.
Drew respected my decision to move here to London, he just wants me to be happy.
So here I am. I've been in London for about a week now and we have finally finished sorting out the apartment so we decided to go have a look around the town and find a place to grab a coffee.
I grabbed my keys and phone and walked out of my room to find a very impatient Trish leaning against the front door.
"About time! Let's go!" She huffed, pushing me out the door and into the elevator.
"Trish, we've been walking around for ages, I'm pretty sure we're lost. Can we just find a coffee place and go home... Please?" I practically begged. I'm too tired and could really do with a coffee right now.
"Yeah, there's a Starbucks down the road?"
"Perfect!"
She chuckled and I followed her down the road and into the Starbucks. Fortunately, there was no queue and only a few people inside so it would be easy to get our drinks and find a place to sit. We walked up to the counter and was greeted with a rather attractive boy behind the till.
"Hello ladies, and welcome to Starbucks! What can I get for you?" He asked with an adorable British accent, he was cute.
"I'll have a caramel frap, please." Said Trish.
"Not a problem, please could I take a name for the order?"
"Trish. Ash, I'm going to find a place for us to sit." Said Trish, putting some money on the counter and walking away before I had time to reply.
"And what would you like, love?" He asked with a smile.
"A caramel macchiato, please?"
"Of course, name for the order please?"
"Ashley."
"Ashley... A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He grinned before tapping some buttons on the till. I kept my head down, trying to hide the evident blush on my cheeks.
"That will be 7,25 altogether, please." He asked and I got some money from my purse and the money Trish left me on the counter and handed it over to him.
"Thank you, love. Just wait over there for your drinks. See you soon, Ashley." He winked, and once again I blushed. Before I went to get our drinks I made sure to take a quick glance at his name tag. Joe.
I waited a couple minutes for our drinks before hearing our names being called out and walking to the counter to receive them. I thanked the woman who gave me the drinks then turned around to walk away.
As I turned around, someone walked into me, making me spill both hot beverages down my stomach and chest. I gasped at the contact of heat and felt my skin begin to burn as the drinks and soaked into my top.
"Shit." I heard a raspy voice mutter. I looked up and was met with a pair of emerald green orbs.
"Hurry up, Ash!" called Trish.
"Coming!"
