Love in London

Stepping out onto the sidewalk again felt like leaving behind a magical world. We were instantly back in London, surrounded by millions of people.

We fell into step with them, back in step with the city. It was easy to stroll next to Dexter, taking in the neighborhood. He liked to point out his favorite pubs and bookshops, giving me his own personal guided tour of the city.

With his baseball hat pulled low over his eyes, very few people seemed to recognize him. I only spotted a couple people pointing in our direction. I wondered if Dexter ever got used to the attention.

“I feel like I’m on a date with a movie star or something,” I said, noticing a group of people taking our picture. “Does it ever bother you?”

“I barely even notice.” He kept his eyes straight ahead as we walked. “People are only fascinated because I’m young. In a couple of years, no one will care how much I’m worth.”

“Give yourself more credit than that.” Even I, a pop culture deviant, could appreciate his legacy. He had created one of the most successful websites in history, not to mention developing an entirely new way for people to communicate. “You’ve done something pretty amazing.”

“It’s just a job, Taylor.” He seemed almost annoyed by my comment. “There’s more to me than just my success with Scuttle.”

“I know.” I grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop and look at me. “You know I don’t care about any of that right? I liked you before I ever knew about your company, back when I was just a clumsy girl throwing water in your lap.”

A cocky smile spread over his face. “I knew you liked me. Now you’re grabbing my arm, pretty soon you’ll be inviting me into your bed.”

“And that moment was just ruined…” I rolled my eyes. “Forget what I just said. I used to like you-until I was exposed to your arrogant, gross alter-ego.”

“It was only a matter of time.” He pointed to the structure in front of us. “Second stop-straight up.”

“Up?” I looked toward the top of the pillar and was surprised to see an observatory deck. “What is this place?”

“The Monument.” He pointed to a sign nearby giving the history of the landmark. “It was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London. 311 steps all the way up so we better get started.”

I suddenly understood why he had been so adamant about comfortable shoes. “The view better be worth it.”

“It will be,” he said with certainty.

Dexter led the way as we climbed, stopping occasionally to look over his should at me. About halfway up, he asked, “The view is worth it, right?”

“Ha.” I scowled. I couldn’t deny that I had been checking out his firm butt. Since it was directly in my line of sight, I’d barely been looking at anything else. “At least now I’ve found your redeeming trait.
