I'm really lacking in my reviews! Please review, I feel very un-liked. Constructive criticism is also welcome.

Ryan had a pounding headache. The plane was about to land in five minutes and the hangover of his alcohol binge that started a few thousand miles ago had not worn off. He had taken a long nap and had drank two cups of dark, black coffee, but was still not feeling sober.
The plane started to zoom down on to the runway. Ryan's stomach felt like it turned over. Finally, the plane was on the ground, Ryan sighed a deep breath of relief.
Cindy and Ryan walked together to the baggage claim. Once they had retrieved their bags, they stood together while an awkward silence filled the air. A porter that had a sign that wrote "Atwood" came up to Ryan.
"Sir, are you Mr.Atwood?"
"Yea, that's me."
"You're limo is waiting outside. It'll take you to the residence of Mr. Seth Cohen. He requested me to tell you that Marissa Cooper has already settled in."
Cindy's eyes grew big as she took all of this in.
"You know Seth Cohen, the richest guy, like ever! And Marissa Cooper! Tell her that I just loved her movie "Hopeless"."
"Um. . . sure I will. So, I guess this is goodbye?" Ryan offered his hand for a shake.
"Yea, I guess so. I'll talk to you soon. Ok?" Cindy looked a bit sad.
They exchanged cell phone numbers. Ryan turned to the porter. "Lead the way." Ryan gestured to the exit.
"Yes, sir."
They walked out of the airport that was full of smartly dressed people on their business trips. He stepped outside of the automatic doors. A fresh wave of hot air hit him. Ryan definitely missed the great weather in California. The ice and gray skies in New York always made him feel a bit depressed.
Ryan looked around the drop off/pickup section outside of the airport. It was lined with taxis, ready to whisk anybody away. He immediately saw the limo. It looked a bit out of place in the sea of orangish-yellow cabs. The porter opened the door for him and then went around the other side to the driver's seat. Ryan hadn't been in a limo since Seth's wedding. He looked around the spacious area. It seemed a bit of waste of space and gas considering there were only two people in the entire limo. Ryan was exhausted from the plane trip and immediately fell asleep, with his head on the buttery leather.

"Sir?"
Ryan stirred awake. He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times to get focus. He saw the porter looking back with a questioning look on his face. "Yes?" he finally answered.
"We have arrived."
"Oh. Thanks." Ryan stepped out of the car and walked into the main lobby. He immediately saw Seth, who was waving like a maniac, trying to get his attention. Summer looked a bit embarrassed. Ryan joyfully ran up to Seth and gave him a long, embracing hug.
"It's been awhile."
"Yah it has," Seth grinned ear to ear.
Ryan suddenly remembered his manners. He gave Summer a peck on each cheek. She still looked as youthful as ever. "And probably as bitchy as ever." Ryan thought.
He felt tugging on his khaki's and looked down. Emma, Madison, and Ethan were desperately trying to get his attention.
"Hey, how are my god children doing?" With that, he scooped each one of them up. They were also different. In fact, he hadn't seen them so long that he had never even seen Ethan before and the last time he saw the twins, they were very young.
Summer, reading Ryan's mind, said "Coop is taking a nap. It's been a bit stressful."
"Oh."
Ryan some how managed to carry all of the kids into the elevator. Once in the elevator, they hopped out of his arms. They scrambled around, bumping into some of the other occupants of the elevator, trying to be the first one to press the 28th floor button.
It took awhile to get to that floor because it seemed that everyone in the hotel was entering or exiting the elevator. Finally they were the last ones on the elevator as it reached floor number 28. They still couldn't get out of the elevator because they needed a key, since it was all penthouses, and Summer had misplaced it in the huge Hermes bag she was carrying. She finally found the key and put it in the key hole next to the number 28. The doors slid open. Ryan gasped.
