It was a 30 minute drive to the hotel, which wasn't extremely far away, however the infamous New York Traffic was living up to it's reputation. It was very noisy which didn't help my throbbing headache whatsoever.
When we pulled up to the hotel, I was mildly irritated. However when I walked through the revolving door, my mood did a 180, and I suddenly felt underdressed, in my plain air plane clothes, (a T-shirt and leggings). I looked at a pamphlet on one of the coffee tables in the lobby, and I found that I am standing in the lobby of a five star hotel, the Waldorf Astoria to be exact.
Tulio went past us and went straight to the front desk while the rest of us stared in amazement at how a building could be so...elegant.
Tulio led us to our rooms when he finally finished talking to the woman at the front desk, who's face I couldn't see due to the stringy vail of bleached blond hair, which was obviously naturally brown, and looked like Justin Timberlake or Eminem's in their early days.
The rooms were very large. Eli and Tulio shared the smaller room, while the girls and I had the bigger room. We settled into our respective rooms and watched TV while we got settled in.
After about an hour the guys knocked on our door. "When are we gonna see your mom?" asked Jay. I really wanted to see her today, she was the sweetest woman I've met. "can we go see her tomorrow? I kinda just wanted to chill here tonight." Tina asked, looking apologetic. "Thats fine. I just need to call her and let her know." Tulio said with his signature smile.
"In the mean time, we can go swimming!" Nicki said. "First, I believe you ladies need some clothes. Don't wanna run around New York in all of your naked glory, now do we?" commented Eli. I rolled my eyes and ignored his comment. "when are we going to times square?" I asked, "We can go now, I really wanna go to that Forever 21 with the four floors," That was Nicki's favorite store and the fact that it has 4 floors was mind blowing to her.
We all got our jackets and left for times square. We decided that it would be best if we just walked the distance, It wasn't super far but still a little ways we didn't want to be in traffic again.
"How far away is it Tulio?" Jay asked. It was just two blocks away. She asked the same question like 5 minutes ago. I know none of us are especially great in math, but damn. If she was going to be a music producer she was going to need to know some math. I looked at her again and she was staring at Tulio. She had her flirting eyes on. I realized that she wasn't dumb, she was just flirting. I can tell they like each other, that much was obvious, he was just reluctant for some reason.
"Jay it's two blocks away. When we get to the corner, its one." Tulio was obviously a little irritated with her, but Jay wasn't easily knocked down when she really wanted something. Now she wanted his attention. For the rest of the walk she kept quiet, but there isn't a doubt in my mint that she wouldn't try again later.
We turned the corner and I was amazed at what I saw. The first thing I noticed was the building in the middle. At the top of it you can see the infamous ball that dropped annually for the count down for the new year. On either side of said building you see two streets, the buildings were so grand they made me dizzy. Next, I noticed all the stores on the street. I saw an Aero Postal, a Disney Store, a Hershey store, a Toys-r-us, and finally a Blazing sign that read "Forever21" This was obviously one of the most famous parts of New York, right next to broad way aka 51st street. This was Times Square.
"Holy Shit! How much do you think the taxes must be to pay for all of this electricity?!" Tina asked, always wondering about the more technical side of the world. "OMG, there's that Forever21 you told me about, with the escalators! Lets go, lets go, LETS GO!" Nicki grabbed my hand and tried to run off like a child. Which caused me to fall flat on my ass.
In result they laughed at me, "Babe slow down, we're gonna go to every store we really want to go to." Tina said to Nicki, which caused her to roll her eyes. She really hated being called anything other than Nicki, Nicole, and snickers, the fact that Tina always called her babe made her feel awkward and uncomfortable. "Okay but lets hurry up. Because I just want as much time as possible in the forever 21." Nicki said, still bouncing in place.
Eli helped me off the ground, it was so disgusting, it was very oily and just plain dirty. Luckily I was wearing my black pants, so it wasn't that visible. Eli laughed at me, the fucker actually laughed. "baby its all right, we can wash your pants." I playfully socked his arm, which in result made him groan in fake pain, and rub his arm milking this little act for all its worth. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I kissed his bicep.
"Um..." Tulio said, clearing his through "Maybe we should split up and go to separate places so we wont take too much time. Theres this club that I opened like a month ago and I was thinking we could go there later." I guess we could do that in stead of swimming. After all we could always swim in Florida "Thats a good idea, we can get an out fit when we go shopping, speaking of which, are we going to or are we just gonna stand here and converse about it. LETS GO!" Nicki said.
We split up and all went in different directions, Jay took Tulio and went off, Nicki took Tina and they went to Aero Postal, Tina and Nicki left I could faintly see the pout on Nicki's face because they were going the opposite direction of Forever 21. That just left Eli and I.
"So tinker-bell what do you want to do?"he's trying to make me embarrassed, he knows I hate when he calls me that.
The name started when I decided that I was going to be Tinker bell for Halloween. I dyed my hair and everything, I went all out. When they saw me in my costume they laughed, and I blushed, making me look even more like Tink than I originally intended. The name never really caught on, so he only calls me that to tease me.
"I was thinking maybe for you we can go to American Eagle, I don't know maybe I'll go to forever21 and get a few things for the week, and a dress for tonight since its warmer than I expected. Hows that sound?" I smiled at him. Eli smiled back and responded, "Sounds like a plan baby" What? Baby? Where did that come from? Before I could really think about it he dragged me towards the American eagle.
"I love this store, but it smells like hell," Eli said as if the whole 'baby' thing didn't happen. Did he "like" me? Did I "like" him? Those times last year, did they mean more than we intended? "Do you like this one, or this one?" he asked me holding up two shirts, one black one red. Both were nice, "The black one." I said, he looks good in black.
Eli ended up buying 4 pair of pants and 5 shirts. We didn't need a lot of clothes just enough to get through the week and back to Florida.
We left American Eagle and went down times square and into Forever21. As always its bright as hell in there I turned around to get a good look at the store. It was a girls paradise. The entire 1st floor had all kinds of accessories and T-shirts that were on sale. Nothing was really my style. Its always hard trying to find clothes that fit my preference in a super girly store like this. Might as well be looking for a church girl in a hot topic store. W
We went to the 2nd floor, and this was more like it. All skinny jeans, and loose T-shirts. I grabbed some shirts and pants for the week. I went to get Eli so we can go get a dress, but the look on his face slowed me down. He was staring at me as if I was the answer to all things in the world. I've never seen him look at me like this before. "Eli, Lets keep rolling"
That caught his attention, he blinked as if to refocus his eyes and he smiled, but this smile had more emotion in it, it was, dare I say...love?... I don't want to, nor will I go there. After what happened with the whole Edward situation, I learned its better to take relationships slowly, and let it flow.
"Lets go get my club outfit, I have to look good too you know. We went down to the 3rd floor, there were nice dresses here, all party dresses. But one caught my eye. A black and silver little beauty I once again told Eli to wait while I go try these on.
When I looked in the mirror, I had to buy it. Not just because it was on sale, but because it made me look so damn fine...and it was comfortable. It was a once in a life time type of dress. I left the dressing room very giddy. I took the dress and my clothes to the register.
When she was done ringing me up, Eli and I went to the escalator. As the escalator rose to the 1st floor, we saw Tina and Nicki at the register just about to leave with their bags. We decided to wait for them. As I got a really good look at them, they had like 10 bags, from like 3 different stores.
We left the store, and continued to walk down the street, by then it was getting a little late. "Guys we need to meet up with Tulio and Jay so we can get ready to go out." I told them, as I was dialing Jays number.
"Hey Bella, we're looking for you guys, where are you?" Jay asked "we're actually looking for you, meet us at the toys-r-us okay?" we're already here might as well say put. "yeah okay, thats right across the street from us."
When I looked across the crowded street I could see them making their way towards us. As they approached us I could see that they each had two bags, and we're smiling. "So, I was thinking maybe we could head to the hotel to get ready, then head to my club." Tulio said. "As long as it for them to get ready, it'll be about time for the club to close." Eli said chuckling.
As we walked into the hotel lobby I was again taken aback by its beauty. I've never seen a hotel with so much detail. The floor appeared to be marble, the high ceiling with a huge chandelier that had little crystals in it. Simply amazing. "I come here every time I visit my mom." Tulio said. As he was ogling the ass of the woman at the desk. The same woman that checked us in. "I cant imagine why." Eli commented with a sly grin, as he too noticed that Tulio was practically in a trance. I had to kick him before Jay noticed, that got his attention.
He walked up to the desk and we followed, he murmured something about having to wake up early and a wake up call. Which was true because we were going to see his mom and go touring some more.
He rang the bell at the desk, and when the blonde turned around, I saw that not only was she even uglier up close, she was the last person I ever thought I had to see again, It was Jessica Stanley.
"How can I help-oh hey Tulio." she said attempting to sound seducing. When she looked at me her grin faded. "Bella, is that you? You look so different!" I almost laughed, she looked so disinterested. At least that didn't change about her, she's still the fakest girl you'll ever come across. "Thank you, I had to upgrade my style," I said, "how do you know Tulio?" at this she smiled and said, "He's my boyfriend."
Thats when Jay gasped and her eyes started to tear up.
Hmmm, Tulio isn't as great as he comes across as huh? what about Eli and Bella? what do you think, let me know! I love Reviews, and reading them motivates me to get the next chapter out as soon as I can. So, Please Review!
