Hotel here we come!
We're finally in the taxi. Although it warm outside, it's cold in this taxi. Probably because the driver has AC on. Hero is gazing out the window, when I turn to glance at him. It's got his cute little smile on his face, that fans go crazy for. I look at all the large buildings and shops that take the shape of New York. I forgot how picturesque in way it was.

"Jo where's your hoodie from?" Oh crap. I was hoping to avoid this conversation with Hero and I hoped he wouldn't bring it up. I can feel myself blushing because of the answer to his question. I look over at him. Hero's face had a puzzled look across it. I try to look anywhere but his eyes. I know how blue they are. How intense they can be.
"It's your's Hero!" Is the answer. "You let me borrow it and forgot to ask for it back." He doesn't seem to be listening. Well I thought not. "Oh...it suits you. You can keep it" I hear next. I just feel myself blushing more at his compliment. He's smiling I can tell.
"Are you sure?" I ask. I mean I know Hero sort of forgot about it, but it's his clothing. I glance over. He's looking out the window. But he's nodding in a very over dramatic way and he's smiling goofily. He's sure.

I soon realise we're near the hotel. It's definitely very much oversized for our gathering. But we went all out and it's a celebration at the end of the day. The pictures don't do it any justice as we step out of the taxi. Me and Hero walk straight past the paparazzi without even looking at them. The are kept back and away from us. I know we should be used to it by now. But it can still be overwhelming at times.
The lobby to the hotel is something else and I can't help but gasp as the architecture. It's overly high ceilings and red velvet comfy chairs are lining the sides. Big pillar lights are lining the lobby and drawing you in. I recognise a familiar face at the end of the lobby and towards what I assume to be the lifts. "Hero. Jo!" Anna calls.

We make our way toward her. She embraces me and then Hero. Then pulls us both in for a group hug. "I've missed you guys so much!" Oh Anna. I've missed you too girl. She starts to laugh as if she's about to say the funniest thing in the world.
"You know those 2 rooms that were booked that weren't ours?"
"Yeah" is all Hero says as to get Anna to continue her clearly funny story. I remembered in her email she stated that there were 2 rooms booked by people who weren't a part of our party. We have basically booked the whole hotel to ourselves. Part of me felt a bit sorry for the 2 customers coming to stay with our crazy group.
"Well apparently the customers cancelled those rooms and found another hotel." Now I no longer feel sorry for those people as I'm listening to Anna's words. "They probably realised that all the other rooms were booked and that basically whole place was hired out so they knew something was going on." I'm already giggling. It is funny.
"Oh well fuck them. Too bad they could have joined us!" The worlds are already out of my mouth. Hero is in stitches next to me. He's laughing so hard that he collapses in to the very comfy looking chair next to him.

I move to learn again the back of Hero's chair, whilst trying to catch my breath from laughing too hard. Once we've al calmed down. Hero draws out a question. "When is everyone else going to be here?" I was thinking the same thing. Currently it's just me, Hero and Anna. A couple of hotel staff wandering around as well. It's quiet and peaceful. I know that later will be the complete opposite. "Everyone is arriving at different times. It's all very confusing." Anna replies. I look towards her. She got a small stack of paperwork in front of her. I want to assume it's got all the cast and crew on them. Or an itinerary of some sort. But I don't know. "You guys are the first to arrive. But I wanted it to be that way so we could spend some time together." Anna continues. I nodded at hearing her words. I look down at Hero's head. It's nodding too. Part of my wants to touch his hair and see if it's soft. He didn't put a cap on in the end.
"We can get something to eat or something at the restaurant here. I'm thinking of maybe going into the spa. Jo your more than welcome to join me!" I light up at her words. A spa is just what I need at 11am and after a flight. "I'd love to!" The excitement in my voice makes me smile too. It's turned to more laughter at hearing Hero's words. "And what about me?"
Anna just gives him an amused smile as I continue to giggle. "I mean your more than welcome to join us Hero. But I didn't think that a spa would be your thing!"

Part of me can imagine Hero in the spa. He's the sort of person who really like to relax. But as Anna said I don't think he would choose to go. "I can just go in the pool. While you do your girl thing that girls do at spas." There he is. More laughter comes from us. Honestly I've missed these guys so much it's hurts. I haven't laughed like this in ages. I don't mind Hero coming with us. Me and Anna can have a massage or something and he can chill in the jacuzzi probably.
"Okay, okay Hero. You can join us" I say to his head still laughing.

Hero and Anna stand up as soon as we see a hotel staff member on her way over. We walk to meet her. Hero is wiping his eyes quickly with this back of his hand. I believe there tears of laughter. I giggle even more and try to muffle the sound with my hand. Hero glances down at me with a smirk. I need to stop blushing but I can't help it. Hopefully it's concealed by the fact that we have been laughing a lot and that I'm already red in the face.

"Miss Langford. You are in room 523 on floor 40." I raise my eyebrows as I'm handed my key card and a little set of keys. I know this hotel has 46 floors but floor 40. "Wow that's high!"
"Mr Fiennes-Tiffin. You are in room 515 also on floor 40." Hero takes his key and key card from the lady. Of course he's on the same floor as me. I bet the important people are on floor 40. I feel a nudge in my arm. I look up at Hero. This time I don't blush thankfully. "I guess we'll be in the skies together then."
"I guess so" is all I can say to him.
We make our way over the lifts. As expected they are as nice as the lobby and the hotel itself. Me, Hero and Anna pile in as Hero press 40 on the lift key pad. It was so many floors. It hurts my brain to look at it.

"I like your hoodie Jo" Anna says from behind me. I'm a little taken aback. I turn around to look at Anna. But she's not looking at me. She's looking at Hero. Fuck.
