On our way out of the hotel we bump into the other guys.

"Where are you two going?" Phil asks.

"I'm taking Esme to lunch, we'll be back in the evening" Austin tells them.

"You look amazing Esme!" Aaron compliments me. I thank him, feeling myself blush.

Once we're at the Tube station Austin stops at the map.

"I have no clue how the Tube works."Austin admits and I roll my eyes.

"Where are we trying to get to?" I ask him and he protests.

"It's meant to be a surprise!" he whines.

"How can it be a surprise when you don't even know how to get there!?" I tell him.

"I've got you for that, you're my little sat nav" he says.

After a lot of persistence I find out that we're meant to be heading for Chiltern Street so
I walk towards the escalators that lead down to the platform and he follows me. He wraps his arms around my waist as he's standing directly behind me.

"So you're taking me to Chiltern Firehouse?" I ask and he nods.

"I love you so much" I tell him and he beams back. We get off the escalator and walk to the platform and wait for the train.

At the restaurant

"I've never been here before, it's amazing!" I breathe as we enter the swanky restaurant.

"I thought you'd like it" he tells me as we get seated. Austin pulls a chair out for me and I take a seat. I thank him.

"I hope you're hungry!" he tells me and I nod.

"I'm starving!" I tell him and pick up a menu. I didn't have breakfast so I'm famished.

"Hello, welcome to the Chiltern Firehouse. My name is Jack and I'll be your waiter for today. Could I interest you in trying our wine of the week?" he asks.

"Oh, yes please!" I say a little too excitedly and he pours me a little in my glass.

"Would you like some, sir?" he asks Austin.

"Yeah, ok then" he says and tries it.

I swirl it around in my mouth pretending to be a sommelier.

"Mmm! It's dry and very mellow. What wine is this?" I ask, taking the piss.

"Chamblaise madam" he tells me and I nod in approvement.

He offers us some more and leaves the bottle on the table for us. Austin is laughing at me.

"Why're you laughing? I was being serious." I lie

"No you weren't! How do you know what good wine tastes like?" he laughs.

"In my whole year of being legally allowed to drink and my four whole years prior to that I educated myself in the art of wine tasting. I'm a sommelier" I say to him.

"If that's what you call getting drunk to the point of fainting then yeah, I'm sure you are an expert" he tells me.

Back in the hotel room

"Thank you so much. Lunch was perfect." I tell Austin as we're back in our hotel room. He gives me a gorgeous smile.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" he tells me and gives me a quick kiss.

Ever since I've spent my time with Austin everyday has been perfect, I've loved every second. We've only known eachother for five days but I know there is so much more to come and I can't wait!
