The New York Dream

Promises

"I cannot wait to just get there" Kaliee sat back in her chair and kicked her feet up onto the dashboard. 

"Put your feet down, my car is not a dump" Anna whined, not taking her eyes off the road. She was very protective of her car. If I could describe Anna in three words it would be, careful, cute and bossy. "Or else someone else can sit up front"

Kaliee scowled but put her feet down, secretly smiling. That's the thing about Kaliee, she's the total opposite, she's free, reckless and effortfully stunning. She always called shotgun, claimed it was her 'car sickness'  whatever I didn't really mind. I sat in the back with Millie across from me, but she is sleeping, she sleeps whenever and wherever. Thats Millie, the chilled one of us. Truth was, I was way to excited to sleep! First time going to New York and I couldn't wait to shop, party and have fun with my three best friends. 

"How far is it now?" I ask.

"Two hours" Anna says and I hear a groan from Kaliee, "go to sleep then!" she pesters and Kaliee shakes her head. "Okay, how about a road trip game?"

I could see Anna's eyes light up from here, she was obsessed with games. I decided not to hear and leaned my head against the window, trying to drown out the voices from the front.

"I spy a something beginning with R!"

Dear God this was going to be a long two hours.

+++++++++

I opened my eyes to a loud beeping, coming from Anna's horn.

"Get out the way!" Anna shouted and threw someone an annoyed look, Kaliee was crying with laughter, clapping her hands together like a little girl. 

"What's going on?" I frown and Anna looks around at me for a second, and then back on the road.

"Anna's getting stressy" Kaliee giggles and Anna sends her a sharp look.

"Nothing just some car won't mov- oh finally! THANK YOU" She screamed the last bit, sarcastically and we were moving again. 

"The hotel is just around the corner" Kaliee said and strapped up her boots, I look at Millie who had her headphone plugged in and was bouncing her head along to the music. She looks at me and grins. 

I slip my shoes back on and nudge Millie, she puts her headphones away silently and we wait patiently to park the car. 

"Miss, we will be taking the car into a private area" I shifted so i could see a man dressed in a bow tie and a red suit, smiling down at Anna.

Anna seemed hesitant at first but nodded, telling us to all get out. Once we were all out the car was whisked away and we were led inside with our baggage. The hotel was wonderful, grand entrance with a big desk in front of us. It felt like I was in a movie. 

"How was the flight?" A smiling lady asked from the front desk, thats what I loved, the American accents.

"Long!" Kaliee piped in but Anna stepped forward taking control.

"Good thanks" She smiled back and the lady told the butlers to take our bags up to the rooms. We had two rooms, I was sharing with Millie and Anna was sharing with Kaliee. 

"Well, here are your keys" She handed them to us and we got into the elevator. There were many floors, we were on floor 20, thank god for the elevator! 

"So why can't I share with Flo" Kaliee pouts and Millie rolls her eyes, I notice she hasn't said anything since we arrived. She must be overwhelmed. 

"Because you'd probably drag her off to a night club and you'd both get drunk and lost" Anna says and Kaliee sends me a daring grin, hell no!

We got to our floor and our rooms were a few down from each other, so left to pack. The room was huge, two double beds and a flat screen TV. A shower AND a bath in our bathroom and not to mention the amazing view. 

"This is incredible" Millie squeaks and jumps onto the bed nearest the window, I sat down on the other bed and nod. 

"Promise me something Mill?" I ask and she turns to me. "Let go on this holiday, do whatever you want to do because when we get home to London college will still be there" I say, because I know that's whats on her mind. 

"Okay. But only if you promise me something Flo" She says, leaning against the back of the bed, "forget about stupid Jason" I couldn't help but feel my heart ace even when she said his name. My ex boyfriend, but he's an ass and I broke up with him. I need to forget about him.

"Deal"
