I stepped out of the shuttle, along with my girls Rachel and Mercedes, a smile on all of our faces. This vacation was going to be amazing, I just knew it.
For our graduation present all of us got our parents to agree to let us all go vacation in New York for 2 weeks. For several reasons, such as finding a place to live, no way were we gunna live dorms, learn our way around the city, and just to have fun in general.
The shuttle driver handed us our luggage and we paid him in return before heading into our hotel. It was beautiful. It was an older building with beautiful detailing and the inside was just as lavish and the outside would suggest.
"Oh my god! I can't believe we're really here! I mean, I know we came here last year for Nationals but that was forever ago and now it's just us and we can do whatever and really discover the city! And oh! We should have gotten tickets for shows here! How could I have not thought of that! We need to ask the concierge right away and see if he can get us tickets!" Rachel rambled as we made our way to the front desk to check in. We had gotten one room with 2 full size beds, it had been agreed that Rachel and Mercedes would share one.
"Okay girls! We are on floor 15 in room 1523, let's get a move on so we can get settle in and star exploring!" I couldn't wait to finally be able to put all my luggage away. Sure, I love my clothes but when you 2 suitcases and giant duffle bag full of stuff you can get tired of lugging that around. As we headed towards the elevator I heard music, someone was playing a piano nearby. "It sounds like they have a lounge player in the next room."
Mercedes looked to where the music was coming from. "I wonder if they're any good, we should check them out."
Rachel scoffed at this. "Seriously guys? It's just a lounge player. Why should we waste our time in the beautiful city with all its wonders by listening to some lounge singer at some hotel?" We gathered ourselves into the elevator as Rachel continued. "We could spend our time here in far better ways. Like Broadway or the Met, Time Square! All wonderful and much better choices than sitting around listening to some lounge player." Mercedes and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes.
"Whatever Rachel, I was just thinking we could when we just wanted to sit and relax for a bit. And you never know, they might good. Or even better, they might be cute." At that I saw Rachel's eyes light up. I shook my head, after breaking up with Finn again she wanted to prove that she could get some one else, some one better.
"Rachel," I start, "if you are going to use this trip to find yourself a boyfriend do it on your own time, okay. I have better things to do than watch you run around chasing boys." The elevator doors opened and we all walked out and to the left towards our room.
"I'm with Kurt on that, you can boyfriend hunt on your own time." Rachel scoffed again and Mercedes and I rolled our eyes again. We came up to our room and I pulled out a card and opened it up.
It was larger than I thought I was going to be. It had the two beds, a television, desk and drawers like a any other hotel room. But it also had a balcony with a table chairs on it and the bathroom was on the larger side.
"Oh my god this view!" Rachel screamed and ran out to the balcony dropping all of her stuff in the door way. "It's amazing! You guys have to come see! You can look forever out here!" Mercedes went out and joined her while I claimed the bed closest to the window and started unpacking. We had the view for the next 2 weeks, right now I need to unpack and get my clothes hung up and put away before they got wrinkled.
"Are you guys going to stay out there forever?" I called to them. "Rachel weren't you the one saying how we can't waste out time here?" I raised an eyebrow at them as they turned and started walking back into the room. "The view's not going anywhere."
"Where do you wanna to first? We gotta hit the stores while we're here." Mercedes was on her and Rachel's bed, I was sitting at the desk twirling back and forth in the chair. We were waiting for Rachel to finish up organizing her stuff in the bathroom.
"Tonight?" Honestly I was tired from the traveling, I'm kinda afraid I would fall asleep in the subway or something. "I dunno, I kind of wanna explore the hotel. I'm pretty tired though."
"I was thinking maybe we could go adventure around the area circling our hotel." Rachel said bursting out of the bathroom, where this energy was coming from no one knows. I was questioning why I agreed to go on this trip with her. Two weeks with Rachel Berry, what was I thinking?
"You two go have fun." It was only 7:30 pm, but I really didn't feel like gallivanting around. Knowing Rachel it would be more than just in the area around the hotel. "I think I'll stay at the hotel, check it out a bit."
"Are you sure?" Mercedes asked, I nodded getting up from the chair. "Okay then, me and Rachel will go scout out the area." I could tell Rachel was about to say something but Mercedes was already pulling out of the room. I fell on my bed and just laid there for a bit.
"I hope they find a Starbucks nearby, hotel coffee is never any good." I got back up and picked up the notebook on the desk with all the info about the hotel in it. What to do? "I wonder if Rachel was right about the lounge person, if they were bad or not. Maybe I should check it out."
hope you guys enjoy! :D
review please! 3
