"Great job Addie!" Michelle high fived Adalyn.

"Thank you."

The concert was over, and so was the meet and greet. Luckily it all went smoothly; Ruel didn't get distracted by Adalyn and Adalyn didn't get distracted by Ruel. And the best thing, a girl like Alexis didn't come. Right now they all were chilling in the green room before going out for dinner.

"Adalyn can I see a few pictures of today?" Ruel asked.

"Sure." She opened up her camera and handed it to Ruel.

"I've said this like a million times before, but you are amazing at what you do." Ruel complimented.

"Oh my god thank you so much." Adalyn smiled as she took her camera back.

"Like, really amazing." He continued, emphasizing on 'really'.

"And you are really amazing at singing. Your voice is very angelic." Adalyn said.

"Thank you love." Ruel said in a posh British accent with a weird face which made her laugh.

"Guys come on let's go for dinner." Beau said. Adalyn and Ruel were completely lost in their own conversation. They didn't realise that everyone was already on their way out of the green room, to the van. They both snapped out of their daze and picked up their stuff. Then they followed everyone out of the room.

Within some time, the team was in the restaurant, feasting to all of the delicacies they had ordered. After some time, they all were finished with their feasting and were back in their rooms and were passed out due to the tiring but completely enthusiastic day.

Day VIII of the internship; 19th October:

"What are we supposed to be doing today?" Coco asked.

"I have no idea." Adalyn frowned.

It was morning, and as always, Coco and Adalyn were having their daily morning conversation during which they both are brushing their hair or just getting ready.

"It can't be a concert, because there was one yesterday. Do you think there is a photo shoot?" Coco wondered.

"I don't know Co. We'll know when we go down."

"Okay. You ready?"

"Just tying my hair." Adalyn put her hair in a bun. "Done." She said as she viewed her reflection in the mirror.

"You look beautiful." Coco commented.

"Thanks Co. You look flawless as always." Adalyn smiled.

"Aww thank you Addie." Coco said. They both went downstairs in the hotel's restaurant.

"Hey Rueloff." Coco said as she flicked Ruel's ear, who was sitting next to Kate.

"Coco please." Ruel said as he rubbed the skin where Coco flicked.

Coco sat down opposite to Ruel and Adalyn sat down next to Coco.

"It's so cold today." Adalyn said as she rubbed her hands. It was warm in their room, so Adalyn didn't wear any jacket. She was only wearing a thin T-shirt.

"Oh here you go." Ruel removed his jacket and handed it to her.

"Oh no no. You'll get cold." She said.

"No take it I'm fine." He said.

"But-" She tried to reason with him but he cut her off.

"Take it. I'm not cold, seriously." She shyly took the jacket and wore it. The size was very large for her, so the sleeves were way too long. She rolled them up.

"Thank you Ruel." She smiled.

"Of course." He smiled back before picking up a waffle from the platter in front of him and began eating it.

She, on the other hand, was blushing like crazy. The jacket was extremely warm and comfortable. And the way he handed it to her, made her blush more and more by the second.

"Adalyn, you alright? Your whole face is red." Coco said worriedly, thinking that she has a fever or something.

"Oh, I'm fine." She said. Coco was busy talking to Chelsea so she didn't notice that Ruel handed his jacket to Adalyn. Coco's eyes went down to the jacket. She understood everything.

"Okay." Coco said with a smirk as she continued eating her eggs.

Adalyn picked up some pancakes and began eating those.

"Michelle, what are we doing today?" She asked Michelle.

"We don't have anything planned for today." She said. "But I'm up for another girl's day."

"Yes let's do that." Coco piped in the conversation. "Mum will you join us?" She asked, looking at Kate.

"Of course." She smiled.

"And you Chelsea?" Coco asked.

"Yes! I enjoyed it the first time, I'll love to do another one. Can we go for shopping? It's the second week now and I haven't shopped even once." Chelsea said.

"Yes let's go for shopping." Kate said.

"Okay. Let's meet here at 11.30 am." Michelle said.

"Okay." Adalyn said.

"I want to come too." Ruel pouted.

"No. You aren't coming." Coco stated.

"What- why can't I?" He pleaded.

"Because I said so." Coco sassed.

"Aww Ruel you can join us." Kate smiled.

"Thanks mum." Ruel smiled. He turned to face Coco and stuck his tongue at her. Coco began glaring at him.

"Mum why? He'll only come in the way." Coco cried.

"Coco he wants to come, let him come." Kate said.

"But-" Coco began.

"No buts. Let him join us." She said, making Coco shut her own mouth and Ruel to do a little dance to tease Coco even more.

"In your face Coco!" He said. Coco got more angry and only focused on eating her food.

"Be down at 11.30 Ruel." Michelle said.

"Yes ma'am." He said as he continued to eat his own food.

"Where is he?" Michelle said, as she aggressively tapped her foot against the floor.

"Late, as always." Coco said nonchalantly as she continued scrolling through Instagram.

"Kate," Michelle turned around to face Kate, "don't you both share a room?"

"We do." Kate began, "It was 11.15, and I told him to get ready. He said that he will get ready after me. So after I got ready, I asked him again. Before he went in the washroom, he said that I should leave and he'll be joining shortly. So I came down, and here we are; waiting for him."

"Oh this boy. I'll wait for 5 more minutes, if he doesn't come then we will-" Michelle began, but a certain boy cut her off.

"You will what?" Ruel said, with a smirk on his face.

"We would have left without you, if you didn't come down." Michelle stated.

"Well, now I'm here, so let's go." He said, turning around and walking out of the hotel's door. Everyone else picked up their stuff and walked out.

They all sat down in the van and Ruel began blasting music.

"Oh I love this song!" Adalyn exclaimed, as Bags by Clairo came on.

Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time
I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back?
I guess this could be worse
Walking out the door with your bags

"Walking out the door with your bags!" Everyone screamed the lyrics.

The song finished soon along with which they reached the market where they came for shopping. They all got out of the van and went inside the shops.

"That seems cool, doesn't it Addie?" Coco pointed at a clothes' shop. From the window, a lot of dresses and shirts were visible.

"Oh yes. Let's go." Adalyn linked her arm with Coco's and both of them walked inside, everyone else following them.

"Oof this is so beautiful! It will look even better on you! Buy it Addie!" Coco exclaimed as she held up a beautiful black dress.

"Really?" Adalyn asked, unconvinced.

"Yes it will! But, if you don't feel like wearing it, then you can-"

"No no! I'll try it, give it to me." Adalyn let her hand out and Coco placed the dress in her hand. Adalyn walked to the dressing room to change. Within a few minutes, she came out wearing it.

"So, how is it?" Adalyn asked, as everyone looked at her.

"Wow." Coco breathed out.

"You look beautiful!" Chelsea exclaimed.

"You are so pretty, buy it!" Kate smiled.

"You look amazing." Michelle complimented.

"Thank you." Adalyn smiled.

Ruel was completely taken aback by surprise by Adalyn's beauty. As she came out and his eyes rested on her, he couldn't help but blush. His cheeks were coated with a beet red blush.

Adalyn saw Ruel blushing, so she couldn't help but blush a little herself.

"Addie you can change to your old clothes now. After that we'll explore more." Coco said.

"Okay." Adalyn nodded as she went inside to change. She came out within a few minutes, wearing her old clothes.

"Where's everyone?" Adalyn asked. As she came out, everyone besides Ruel were missing.

"Oh, they went to see some things. When something allures them, it's extremely hard to stop them." Ruel chuckled.

"Oh okay."

"Yup, I decided to wait for you. Let's go." Adalyn walked up to him and he bent down a little.

"You looked beautiful in that dress." He whispered.

"Thank you." Adalyn smiled, with goosebumps all over her arms. He returned the smile as he began walking to the rest of the group.

"Addie come here." Coco beckoned Adalyn to where she was standing. It was the jewelry area. "How are these?" Coco held up a pair of gold earrings.

"Beautiful! Buy them!" Adalyn said as Coco looked at her reflection in a mirror while holding up the earrings in front of her ears.

Within an hour and a half, everyone had bought something for themselves and for their families; even Ruel. Now they were on the streets of London, walking and exploring around.

"You know, I was born here." Ruel said.

"Wait what?! You're born in London?" Adalyn exclaimed.

"Yup." Ruel said. "When I was like, say, 3 or 4, we shifted to Sydney." He explained.

"Ohhh." Adalyn said as she nodded along with him.

"Adalyn can you click a picture of us?" Chelsea asked.

"Of course!" Adalyn said as she removed the cover off the lens of her camera. Coco stood along with Chelsea. They were standing in front of a railing, so Ruel jumped on top of the that. Coco smiled, Chelsea did a thumbs up with both of her hands and Ruel kept his hands on top of Chelsea's head.

"Amazing guys, thank you." Adalyn said after snapping a picture and viewing it.

"Oh wow thank you Addie!" Chelsea smiled as she saw the picture.

"Amazing picture girlie!" Coco said as she high fived her.

"Thank you." Adalyn said.

"Come on everyone, let's go for lunch." Michelle said as everyone went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
