《The Stranger on the Train》Chapter 96: London
Advertisement
Pov y/n
London is a very beautiful city and I am very glad that Scarlett made it possible for me to see.
London is also very rainy. After we arrived, we took a cap to our hotel and the suit was really amazing. I've never been in such a huge hotel room or suit. Scarlett was more impressed by the view which was also incredible.
We have a great view of the Thames.
Rose was most excited by the beds because she has her own double bed and excitedly started bouncing on it. We told her to please not do it because they are not our beds and we don't want to break them. Rose pouted a little but found a new occupation: doing somersaults on the bed.
That we let her do until she got dizzy and just laid there like a starfish while Scarlett and I unpacked our bags.
I grabbed Mr. Mouve and settled down next to Rose, holding Mr. Mouve above her and wiggling him a little before putting him on her face. She giggled at that and grabbed him, telling me how he protected the plane from falling from the sky last night.
I felt my face heating up a little at the thought of last night but luckily, Rose was too occupied to notice.
It was more than amazing but I had to admit, that I was a little bit sore, which made walking a little uncomfortable.
I let Rose to herself and stood next to Scarlett who looked over the city again.
Her hand sneaked around my waist before her hand moved down until it was in my back pocket. I leant against her and enjoyed the view.
Since it was clouded with rain, we decided to wait until it wasn't pouring anymore.
So, we sat down at the dinning table, this suit is bigger than my apartment (!), and made a plan for the next upcoming days until Scarlett had to start filming. We made a list with all the sights we wanted to visit and after a while, Rose joined us and sat on my lap, planning with us.
The rain didn't stop and even though we slept on the plane, more or less, we were a little exhausted from traveling and the different time zones.
So, we decided to keep it calm and snuggled up in one of the double beds, I leant against the headboard with Rose by my side and we continued to read Harry Potter.
Scarlett listened as well but started acting out what we were reading after a while and that was it with Rose wanting to read herself, she rather listened to me and watch her mom being silly.
I laughed when Scarlett acted out the chess scene at the end of the book and I could tell she definitely watched the movies.
Scarlett's acting talent definitely came in handy for this, even though it was more being goofy but still.
Rose joined her then and they both acted out what I was reading and it was the most adorable thing ever.
They had so much fun, that Rose didn't want to stop and we finished the book, time forgotten.
She was pumped and when we told her there are six more books, her eyes grew and she begged us to buy them.
I looked to Scarlett because this is her call. The books get more and more scary as they go on and I don't really know how Rose is with these kinds of things, if they give her nightmares.
Scarlett thought about it a little while, Rose just looking at her with puppy dog eyes. She agreed but said we will buy one book at a time, especially since we are not at home right now.

Rose cheered and literally jumped onto me, telling me we can continue this. I huffed when her body pressed onto mine but cheered with her.
Since we were all hungry at that point and Rose couldn't sit still because she wanted the second book, we got ready and stepped outside.
The rain wasn't so heavy anymore and the sky cleared up a bit.
Still, Rose looked adorable with her rubber boots and jacket.
She grabbed one of our hands each, worried to get lost and Scarlett lead us to a restaurant close buy.
It wasn't too full, so we didn't need a reservation. The food was really good and Rose praised the spaghetti she had there.
Scarlett and I agreed on her paying for the food and me paying for the drinks.
After that we strolled down the street and asked a passenger for the nearest bookstore. He explained the way and we followed it.
Rose excitedly tugged on my hand and let go of Scarlett's so she could pull me towards where she hoped to find the Harry Potter books. I let her and looked around to see if we were going in the right direction.
When Rose stopped and looked a little lost, I guided her towards the book shelf I saw the books in and lifted her up carefully, so she could look.
I told her which one the second one was and she grabbed it, happily hugging it.
Scarlett came to a halt next to us and raised her eyebrow a little at me, concern in her face and I knew it was because I was holding Rose but my wrist didn't hurt, so I gave her a small nod to tell her it's okay.
She let it be and I put Rose down, so we could go pay.
A squeal of Rose made me look to her and she started jumping up and down, pointing at the Harry Potter DVD's.
So far, we haven't told her that there are also movies, so seeing them made her pretty excited.
Scarlett assured her we don't have to buy the DVD's to watch them and we made our way to the register.
We paid and on the way back to the hotel, Rose told us all about what she thinks will happen in the second book. I listened to her with a smile and hold hands with Scarlett.
It wasn't very late but we were exhausted from the day, so we only took a little extra tour before going back to the hotel.
Back there, Scarlett ran a bath in the big bathtub and first I thought it was for Rose but when she kissed my head and told me it's for me, hoping I wouldn't be sore tomorrow anymore, my heart melted a little.
I went inside and undressed before getting into the water.
It was really relaxing and I enjoyed myself, getting lost in my thoughts.
At some point, Scarlett came in to check on me and for a few minutes, she sat next to the bathtub and held my hand, kissing my knuckles every once in a while, making the butterflies in my stomach do flips.
After the bath, we cuddled up in the living room and Scarlett brought some snacks before joining Rose and me. Since Rose was way too excited to wait, we decided to watch the first Harry Potter movie tonight.
Okay, maybe also because I wanted to go to the Harry Potter studios so badly and Rose needs a little bit of knowledge or otherwise it'll be boring for her.
She was amazed by the movie and pointed out different things that were similar or different in the book.

We were all pretty tired after that and since it's the first night in a new environment, Rose slept between Scarlett and me.
The next day, the weather is better, still a little cloudy but no rain. Scarlett is pretty excited to show us around.
We take a cap a little further into the city because we'll be doing a lot of walking today and don't want to over exhaust Rose. We start off with Piccadilly Circus and it is really impressive, although Rose doesn't seem to think that because for her it's 'just like home'.
We stroll down the streets of London and Scarlett tells us a little about the few times she was here and what she did.
Rose only listens halfway and instead looks around. We come to the Buckingham Palace and now Rose's eyes almost pop out of her head.
"Wow." She whispers, looking at the huge building.
Scarlett tells her a little more about it while we get closer.
Rose holds my hand and I have to hold her back from running across the street without looking.
When we stand in front of it, she marvels at it and I have to admit, that it really is very impressive.
"Imagine living in there." Rose says, her eyes lighting up. "So many rooms to hide in during hide and seek."
Scarlett chuckles a little. "Finding you would definitely take a while, especially when you constantly change hiding spots." She says and ruffles Rose's hair a little. Rose looks up to her mom.
"That's just because you always find me so quickly." She points out and Scarlett laughs, putting her arms around Rose.
"So many windows to clean." I mumble and Scarlett starts laughing whole heartedly.
"That is your first thought?" She asks, trying to contain herself but it doesn't seem to work very well. I shrug and grin. Rose giggles as well but more because her mom is laughing so much.
"Well, it is a rightful thought, isn't it?" I ask with an amused smile and Scarlett shakes her head, her laughing turning into snickering.
"Sure, okay. So, your first thought isn't: 'what would it mean if I lived in there' or 'how big would the rooms be', it's 'that's a lot of windows to clean'?" She grins and I playfully nudge her shoulder.
"I'd make you clean them for laughing at that thought." I tease and she snorts a little, sounding totally adorable.
"Sounds like a fair punishment." She says, her eyes sparkling in delight.
"Other couples send their partner to sleep on the couch, you send me to clean the windows."
"As if the couch in such a place wouldn't be comfortable as well." I huff playfully and she grins at me, kissing my cheek.
"Can I go say 'hi' to the guards?" Rose asks and looks up at us.
"Sure, but they won't reply because they are supposed to stay still." Scarlett explains and Rose smiles happily, pulling me to the guards.
Honestly, I have no problem with her pulling me towards where she wants to go. I rather have it this way than her running off on her own and getting lost.
We stop in front of one of the guards and I see Scarlett catching up to us. Rose waves at the guard.
"Hii." She says and smiles up. The guard doesn't react but Rose doesn't seem to mind.
"My Mommy says you are not allowed to react but that's okay, I can still tell you a little bit about what's going on because I imagine you're pretty bored. I would be if I had to stay still so long." She says and looks around, making me grin at her sweetness.
"Over there is one of those big, red busses with two levels and there are a lot of people crossing the street. And over there, there are a few dugs running around, no idea where they're coming from but they are cute. And the sky is...cloudy but sometimes the sun comes out." Rose tells the guard and points around.
When I look to Scarlett, I see a similar expression on her face as there probably is on mine.
"It's my first time in London, even in England because I'm from the U.S.. You speak a little funny over here, even though it's English as well." Rose says and it makes me chuckle and I swear, I see the guard's lips twitch a tiny bit.
"Anyways, we will leave you alone again to do your job, have a nice day." Rose says and smiles up at the guard before we slowly continue our tour.
"That was very sweet of you, Rosie." Scarlett says and Rose smiles up at her.
"I thought when he isn't allowed to look around, then I will just tell him, so he knows what's happening." She explains and starts to skip a little bit. I smile at her reasoning.
We visit a few more sights, like the Big Ben and the London Eye, which Rose is super excited about and inside the gondola, she runs from one side to the other, not wanting to miss anything.
It seems like she makes friends with another kid there and they point at different things to look at and watching their interaction makes me smile.
After that, we head back to the hotel because Rose is tired out and needs a nap.
I also take one and when I wake up, Scarlett gives me a kiss on the forehead and tells me she would like to take Rose and me out to dinner, her treat. As a special 'present' for us because she won't get to spend the next week with us. I agree after a bit where she assures me she is okay with paying dinner all by herself.
So, we spend an hour more at the hotel that Rose and I spend coloring, an aquarium as always, while Scar reads through the script for next week.
Dinner is amazing and for this one, Scarlett made a reservation, of course under a different name. It's pretty high up and got a beautiful view over the city and we can see the sunset from up here.
Besides that, the food is great and even Rose is excited about this place because she's allowed to have mozzarella sticks and chicken nuggets.
Apparently, no matter how fancy a restaurant is, they always seem to have some more basic children's meals, which I am glad about.
Rose is also excited about the passion fruit juice they have and can't stop talking about how amazing it is.
Even with Rose's cute gushing in the background, the moments of the sunset are pretty romantic as I can't help it but to gaze into Scarlett's eyes while she gazes into mine. Our hands are intertwined on the table and for a few moments it feels like time freezes and we could be in this moment forever.
A while later, the waiter comes to bring the bill. He looks between Scarlett and me.
"Who pays? Or do you want to split the bill?" He asks friendly and Scarlett smiles at him.
"I will pay."
"Very well." The waiter nods and gives her the bill. While Scarlett searches in her bag for her wallet, he looks between the three of us.
"Inviting the wife and daughter on a special dinner?" He asks and Scarlett beams up at him and nods.
My heart starts to beat faster at his words and Scarlett's confirmation.
Even though I know we are not married, nor engaged, being called her wife does things to me that I can barely describe.
Scarlett gives the man her card to pay and winks at me, making me blush. I'm just glad Rose didn't catch it and asked any questions.
That moment didn't leave my mind for the rest of the night and it made me feel happy and fuzzy on the inside.
The next day, we explored the city a little more and looked at further sights, Scarlett turns out to be a pretty good tour guide and I love listening to her.
We get a snack in a cute little café and in the afternoon, we go shopping because Rose doesn't want to see anymore 'new buildings or bridges'. Her words, not mine.
Besides, she's constantly growing and some of her clothes get a little small.
We end up buying two new shirts, one of them with the Hogwarts symbol on it and one with colorful dots.
We also buy her a new pair of pants and pajamas, also from Harry Potter, that she insisted on me buying as well.
So, now we have matching pajamas and I swear, when we bought them, Scarlett looked like she wanted to cry, finding it so cute.
On our forth day here, we go to Madame Tussauds and even though I am dating a celebrity, I get really excited and ask Scarlett to take pictures of me and a few of those famous figures.
Rose also has her fun and excitedly points to the figure of Chris Evans, giggling.
Scarlett takes a picture of her and the figure and sends it to Chris. I smirk a bit when I see Scarlett as a figure and when the people before us go away, I run over and take a closer look. I pretend to be overly excited and turn around.
"Can you take a picture of me and Scarlett Johansson, please? I'm such a huge fan." I playfully say and bounce a little up and down, making Scar laugh.
"Look, Rosie, it's Scarlett Johansson." I say and point next to me. Rose giggles and plays along, coming to my side.
"She's very pretty. Mommy, take a picture please." She says and continues to giggle at our silliness. Scarlett laughs a little and takes pictures of us, playfully rolling her eyes.
"You didn't even know who she was before you started watching Marvel, y/n." She points out and I get slight chills hearing her call me by my name because she rarely does that and when she does it, it's mainly during sex when she moans it.
Anyways...
"True but now I love her and would do anything for her." I say and admire the figure, hearing Scarlett snort a little behind me, which is super adorable.
"Can you take a picture where it looks like I'm holding her hand?" I ask with a playful grin and hold my hand close to the wax figure one.
Scarlett rolls her eyes but takes the picture. Rose is shortly looking somewhere else, so I lift my hands to the figures chest and get a playful glare from Scar before dropping my hands again with a little smirk. Rose looks back to us.
"Can you believe, we got pictures with the Scarlett Johansson?" I ask directed and Rose as we slowly continue our way. Rose giggles. Scar looks at me, almost pouting.
"You are my girlfriend in real life." She says and takes my hand, pulling me a little closer to her before wrapping her arm around my waist. I put my arm around her shoulders and scan her for a second.
"Baby, are you jealous?" I ask and she looks at me, a little pout on her lips and that's answer enough. I smile softly at her and kiss her cheek.
"That was literally you there and not even alive. You don't have to be jealous of a wax version of yourself." I assure her and kiss her lips when we come to a halt. Her hand on my waist pulls me a little closer. She sighs.
"I know, it's just..." She gestures with her free hand, trying to explain what she's feeling.
"It's okay, you are allowed to be jealous but there is no need, I would never leave you for anyone, especially not a wax version of you. You are the love of my live and I won't let you go any time soon." I assure her and with every word, her face lights up a little more and she leans against me as we watch Rose look at some figures.
"I love you too." She replies and I smile, kissing her temple.
"Just, seeing you pretending to touch her..." She trails off and I glance at her.
"You want me to touch you like that?" I ask softly and she hesitates a little before nodding.
"Only me." She whispers and I wrap my second arm around her as well, kissing her lips softly.
"You're the only one I will touch like that and if you ever want me to touch you, you can just ask, I would never judge you. And I'd offer to do that tonight when Rose is asleep but I'm guessing you're still on your period?" I ask and she hums, pulling a slightly grumpy face that isn't directed towards me but her body betraying her wants.
"I mean, I wouldn't take it further than undressing your upper half because Rose is literally in the room next to us and I don't want her to hear anything." I whisper and Scarlett nods, agreeing with that.
On the plane it was different because there was a room between us and we managed to find an excuse for Rose to knock before bursting in but we won't do it in a hotel room right next to hers. But just the thought of me playing with her breasts seems to be to her liking and I smirk a little and kiss the top of her head.
For the next day, I am more than excited because we booked a tour through the Harry Potter studios.
My excitement is even bigger than Rose's, which is hard but possible.
Scarlett also seems excited but her eyes also dart between Rose and me, worried she'll lose any of us.
I will admit, at this point, I am probably as excited as a child and therefore also will run around and get lost like one.
Rose insisted on wearing her new Hogwarts shirt and I also decided to wear a fan t-shirt. Scarlett holds onto Rose's hand, so she won't get lost.
I also hold Rose's hand and when we walk around, we squeal excitedly over props or costumes, even though Rose doesn't know what most of it is but she gets taken away by the vibe.
