I only have a few more hours until I'm on vacation, I thought to myself as I got to work. My last shift was only a small 3 hours in the early morning. My best friend, Jenn, and I were heading to Toronto once I was finished for my birthday. My 18th birthday was only a few days ago, so I booked the hotel room and everything by myself. Today was a big deal.
Jenn and I were staying in Toronto for a couple of days, we were planning on visiting Canada's Wonderland and the Eaton Center while we were there.
When work finally finished I drove to Jenn's house to pick her up and that's when our vacation began.
"Are you as excited as I am?! My best friend is now an adult and can do adult things like uh...." Jenn was saying as I rearranged my bags to fit hers in the car trunk. "I'm pretty sure I can get a credit card, play lottery and rent hotel rooms Jenn. Nothing really exciting." She just laughed and I shut the trunk. I have never been this excited for a trip in my life, and I wasn't really sure why,
I began backing out of the driveway and she plugged my iPod into the car radio. "Avery please tell me you updated your music? Your music is so outdated." She said as she waved the iPod in my face. "Jenn, my songs are from last month?! They're not that old. But I did make a whole playlist with all the newest songs you sent me, just for you." I said switching the playlist on.
I swear Jenn needed to stop at every rest station, but I was okay with that because I kept getting some food. Jenn and I both could not stop getting hungry. We had already been in the car for a few hours and we were becoming anxious and restless. My birthday party was going to begin in and hour and a half.
"Have you ever driven in Toronto traffic?"
"Nope" I told her. I got very worried though, Toronto traffic is rough and slow. We were going to get there about 2 in the afternoon so we would beat rush hour. It shouldn't be too bad I thought to myself.
"What's the name of the hotel we're staying at Av?" Jenn asked me.
"Um.. It's... I kind of forget. WAIT no, it's the Sheraton. It's right behind the City Hall downtown!" I was driving around aimlessly, I had no idea where this hotel was.
"There it is! Avery! Avery you passed it." Jenn gave me the most serious look. I just shrugged my shoulder and laughed, so did Jenn. I turned around and we went into the front circle of the hotel. The bellhops helped us get our bags out of the trunk into the lobby and the valet was off parking my car for me.
"Hi there! Welcome to the Sheraton Hotel! Do you have a reservation?" The woman behind the counter asked me. She was super young looking. "Um, yes. It uh, under Avery Douglas". She typed something in on the computer and reached under her desk. She grabbed out two key cards. "Here you go, you're in room 1325. Take those elevators to floor thirteen and turn to you left!" I told her thank you and turned around towards the elevator.
The bellhops had gotten on the elevators before Jenn and I so we were stuck waiting for the elevator again.
After what seemed like 20 minutes, the door finally opened and we got in. Two young boys about out age got in the elevator with us too. "What floor are you two going to?" One asked.
He had brown curly brown hair. By curly, He had green eyes and was very attractive. "Um, thirteen I believe" I told him.
His friend was blonde, and he smiled "That's our floor too Harry!" They both had different accents. They had to be about our age. They were very friendly with us. I was happy we had already made some friends on our first night in the hotel, this week was going to be really fun.
The lift ride took a little bit, but we talked to each other the whole way up. The brunnette is Harry, and he's from England, and the blonde is Niall, who is Irish. Niall was almost 20 and Harry just turned 19 not too long ago.
"What brings you guys to Toronto?" Jenn asked them. "Just wanted to go on a trip somewhere new I suppose" Niall told her. "So why are you two here?" Harry asked. "Oh, we're celebrating my 18th birthday a few days ago" I replied. They both said happy birthday and we arrived to our floor. The bellhops were waiting for us and we said good bye to the boys.
"It was nice meeting you two, hope you guys have fun on your trip" We told them, "Thanks! Hope you have fun celebrating your birthday!" "Thanks!" And that was that, we went different ways to our rooms.
Our room was huge! We got a suite, so we both had our own rooms with queen beds each. Our bags were placed in the entrance of our room and we each gave him $5.
"Wow, look at the window! It's so pretty!" We were on the top floor of the hotel so we had a birds eye view on the city hall courtyard. "Want to get dressed up for dinner? I'm really hungry right now" Jenn suggested. "Jenn, you know I love a good reason to get dressed up!" I took my suit case to my room and looked around for a dress.
I pulled out my favourite black dress. It was a short tight black dress. It was a plain black, with quarter sleeves. The sleeves were lace. I pulled out my sparkling silver heels. "Jenn does this look alright!" I called out. I met her in the main room and we both just looked at each other. She wore a beautiful purple dress. It was strapless and was skin tight on her uppder body. The bottom was a loose fitting assymetrical cut. It was short in the front and long in the back. She wore skin colour heels that were higher than mine. "You look stunning!" We both said at the same time.
We grabbed our purses and walked out the door. We were waiting for the elevator when he heard some familiar voices coming down the hallway. "Oh wow, look at you two!" Niall and Harry came around the corner to the elevators. "Where are you two going?" Harry asked us. Him and Niall were both kept looking at us. "Out for dinner somewhere" Jenn said. "You don't know where?" Niall looked surprised. "Nope, we'll just walk around and find something I suppose!" I said smiling. "That's what we did last night too, but Niall got too hungry and we had to get McDonald's instead." "Shut up Harry!" They both laughed at each other. Niall has the sweetest laugh I've ever heard.
They must of been heading to the pool, they were both in their bathing suit shorts, sandals and shirtless. They both had toned arms which I had not noticed earlier. They both had toned stomachs well, and their muscles tightened with every smile and laugh.
We said bye to the boys once again, as we left the hotel and headed on our hunt for the restaurant.
