I packed my belongings and got into the car. I made my way to Miranda's and she was already waiting for me outside. I got out of the car and carried her things into the back of my car. I opened the passenger seat, as she got in. I quickly drove off and finally arrived at the airport.
After sorting out our passports and luggage we were finally in the plane. Of course sitting in a plane isn't new to me, but it seemed like it was Miranda's first time. As soon as it took off, she grabbed my arm. As I saw the look on her face it made me crack up.
"You think this is funny?" she said, gripping my arm tighter.
"Yes! But if you don't want to kill me, then loosen the grip will ya!" I said laughing in pain.
She loosened her grip and apologized. I fell asleep most of the time, while Miranda held onto her seat.
We were finally at New York. As soon as they announced we were able to leave. Miranda was the first to run out. I couldn't help but chuckle. We quickly got all our belongings and caught a taxi. Within minutes, we were making our way to our hotel room. I opened the door and it looked amazing! New York is probably one of the only places I have not yet been to. Lilly probably loves it here!
There were two separate rooms and bathrooms. I let Miranda choose the bigger room as it is the first time she's been into a luxurious hotel like this. I was of course not really tired as I slept my way from the plane. Miranda surprisingly wasn't either as she was eager to explore New York. But first, we heard our tummies growl so we decided to go to one of the finest restaurants.
Today was quite an exciting day! It was my anniversary with James! It has been a whole 3 years already! He called me to tell me to wear something formal as he was taking me to a five star restaurant.
I opened up my closet to find an appropriate outfit to wear. My closet is just like a shopping centre. There were so many clothes I hadn't worn before. I mainly got it from work because I did design or helped design most of them. As I was searching for the right outfit, something caught my eye. I dug deep into my closet until I found this beautiful black dress. I quickly changed into it and loved what I saw in the mirror. The dress was just a bit above my knee and had no strap. I decided to leave my hair out and I chose to wear black high-heeled shoes. I grabbed out a matching purse and took a final look in the mirror and waited downstairs.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and I saw James wearing a tuxedo while holding flowers. He smiled at me.
"Wow, you look amazing!"
"Thanks."
He handed me the flowers.
He gently took my hand and opened the passenger door and allowed me to get in. What a gentleman! We drove off to the restaurant. We went inside and found our table. I sat down and looked at the menu, deciding what to eat.
So Miranda and I started asking a few people what the best restaurant in New York is. All their answers were the same. But it was probably expensive because it was rated a five star restaurant! But it was a special occasion so I guess it wouldn't hurt.
So we asked the taxi driver to drive us there. I looked up at the massive restaurant. It definitely looked expensive! Miranda held onto my arm as we walked inside.
There were so many people! New York must have a lot of rich people! I found an empty table and led Miranda to the empty seats. I sat down as the waiter handed us our menus. I sat there deciding what to get.
We finished our meal, but that wasn't over. Desert was still coming up! Luckily I have a huge appetite. The deserts looked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
"These look really good!"
"Yeah, but you look better!"
I looked up and blushed.
"I think I'll go to the bathroom first."
I stood up to leave.
The waiter gave us our orders. He also gave us wine which I wasn't too happy about. Neither was Miranda.
"I'll go give these back," I said, as I stood up to leave.
'Okay."
I held the glass of wine in my hand and turned around to have a quick glance at Miranda. She was still looking at me and she gave me a small wave. I continued walking, still looking at her and accidently bumped into someone. The wine spilt all over her, and also a bit on me.
"I'm so sorry, are you alright?" I said, quite panicky.
As I was making my way to the bathroom, some guy bumped into me. I'm not sure what it was, but it was spilt all over me! I could see everyone staring at me from the corner of my eye. I didn't look up at the guy as I was trying to get the liquid off my dress.
"What's going on here?" I heard James say from behind me.
"Uh oh," I thought.
This wasn't gonna end well. James is quite overprotective of me. I mean, that's sweet and all but last time some guy accidently spilt water on me and he bashed the poor guy up, leaving him with a bruise on his face!
I started to turn red! Everyone was staring at me, but mainly at her.
"What's going on here?" I heard some random guy say.
"Lilly, are you alright?" I heard the guy say.
I stood there frozen. Did he just say 'Lilly'? Could it be my 'Lilly'?
I wasn't too sure if it was Lilly though.
The girl turned around so quickly that I couldn't see her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine, let's just go." I heard her say.
I didn't want to cause anymore problems so I turned around and started making my way towards my table. I stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around.
"What's your problem dude? Are you blind or something? Did you not see my girlfriend there?"
"Uhhh, sorry." I said, shaking like a wimp.
I knew it was gonna happen. I tried to leave with James but he made his way towards the guy. I finally looked up and brushed my hair back.
I stood next to James as I tried pulling him away from the guy. I knew he was gonna totally beat him up.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't see her!" I said with my eyes closed.
I felt like a total wimp! I saw the girl pulling the guy, which I assumed was her boyfriend, away from me. That's when I heard Miranda's voice.
"What are you doing to him! Let him go!" She yelled.
Surprisingly enough, he let go of my collar. Miranda came running up to me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Miranda asked angrily.
"He spilt wine on my girlfriend!"
"Well BOO HOO! She shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it!" Miranda said angrily.
Then the girl stepped in front.
"Excuse me?"
I stared at her for a moment. She looked familiar. Then I finally recognised who it was.
So here I was standing behind my boyfriend, trying to pull him back, until I heard a girl's voice.
"Well, BOO HOO! She shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it!" I heard the girl say.
It made me mad because it wasn't me who started it! I pushed James aside.
"Excuse me?" I said angrily.
"But I wasn't the one who made a big deal out of this!"
Everyone in the restaurant began to stare.
The girl and I continued arguing until I heard the drop of a glass. The guy standing next to her was staring at me as the glass he was holding shattered below him. I looked at him for a while. It took me a while to recognise who it was.
"Oliver?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Lilly?" He asked, probably to make sure as well. I didn't know whether to be happy or mad. But why would I be mad?
'You know each other?" James and the girl said at the same time.
I guess I was right. It was Lilly, but she looked so different, but in a good way of course. She was no longer the tomboy that I knew since we were little. She looked....beautiful. We stared at each other for a moment.
"Lilly, do you know this guy?" her boyfriend asked curiously.
"He's my....." she stopped, then smiled.
"Best friend." she finished.
