Just one moment of peace, please. After lunch, I had successfully snuck out onto the terrace of our hotel in Orlando, Florida, and prayed for just five minutes alone to smoke my Iqos in peace. But of course, I heard a noise behind me and turned around as the door to the terrace opened. "No! No! No! 5 minutes alone! No!" I shouted when I saw Dean and Kenan walk out, both with amused grins on their faces. "We're kidnapping you" Kenan said and I furrowed my eyebrows. Dean ok, you, however, no.
"Nope, I have to work" I simply replied. "No way, we have a free afternoon and you're coming with us to the Universal Studios" Dean said and crossed his arms. "I don't have time for this and I don't have time for you" I scoffed, thinking about the piles of work that I had as well as call conferences with a time zone difference and on top of that, I had just gotten the syllabus for my next semester at uni, which meant having to buy textbooks.
"You'll be able to take one afternoon off" Kenan scoffed and my eyes darted to him. "Oh, really? You think all our signings sign themselves?" I asked him sarcastically. "Ooohh, who are we signing?" Dean asked curiously. "This idiot over there is extending" I huffed and pointed at Kenan. "Hearing it out of your mouth that you want to keep me around, with those sweet words you used... that's music to my ears" he swooned and I grimaced, faking to vomit.
"If it were for me, I'd sell you off to the North Pole league" I shot at him, at which he put his hand on his heart, acting hurt. "Ok, you two, enough. We're going and you're coming, no discussion" Dean said and walked behind me to grab my shoulders and push me forward. "Why am I friends with you?" I cursed under my breath as he pushed me through the lobby, earning some weird glares. When we arrived in front of the hotel, there was a small black minivan already waiting for us, for which the concierge opened the door and we got in.
"I hate both of you" I grumbled as we were sitting in the car driving us to this stupid studio park and I typed away some e-mails from my phone, to get some stuff done at least. "Nothing new for me, but maybe for him" Kenan chuckled and I slapped the back of his head. Why was I getting so wound up by him? He wasn't my type at all - I liked blonde guys from the North, not brunettes from the South. He was Turkish, for Heaven's sake, and not Italian! And he had these weird earrings that I usually didn't find attractive at all. And what the fuck happened to his eyebrow?
"At least try to have some fun today... You've been locked up in conference rooms all these days and I haven't seen you around at all" Dean huffed and I almost felt sorry for leaving out my best friend. But this situation was new for me too, we had had more time for each other before I moved to Milan and now everything was different with me working. "I went to the game" I defended myself and he just shot me a glare. "Ok, fine! I'll try to have fun!" I quickly said and he smiled again.
We only had little time, but started off at the Harry Potter World, because, well, who isn't a Harry Potter fan?! "Which house are you in?" Kenan asked me as stood in line for the Forbidden Journey. "Slytherin" I replied dryly. "Shocker" he chuckled. "I'm a Gryffindor" he told me proudly. That's why I was so annoyed by him. "I'm a Ravenclaw" Dean said proudly and waved an imaginary wand at us.
The seats for the ride were four-per-row and of course I found myself sat between the boys. "I'll shit my pants" I mumbled under my breath. "Don't worry, I'm used to justifying stains on the back of your trousers" Kenan chuckled and I was ready to kill him here and now, but the ride jolted forward and I started screaming at the top of my lungs. The few minutes felt like hours for me and I took a deep breath when we finally came to a halt again. I looked down and my heart almost stopped when I saw my hand in Kenan's and my eyes darted to his face in shock. He looked rather amused and I was quick to wriggle myself free.
Why did I turn to him and not to Dean? That's what I asked myself during our next stop, the Studio Tour that lasted about an hour. It was pretty cool to see the sets of TV shows or movies we grew up watching. I even smiled and laughed a few times with the boys, in the end, I knew that it had been a good idea of them to drag me here, but I wasn't ready to admit that.
Because I was about to regret coming along - the boys insisted on doing the zombie world. "No, please!" I pleaded. "I'm sure you can cuddle up to Kenan" Dean teased me and I looked at him angrily. Why was he turning on me now? I was his OG best friend not that German/Turkish intruder! "AHHHHHH!!!" I shouted when a group of walking dead appeared behind me and jumped, grabbing the nearest person next to me. When I looked up to see who it was, I would have even wished it was Kenan - because I was grabbing a random old man's arm, looking like a frightened chicken. "Sorry" I mumbled quickly and hurried over to the boys who were cracking up with laughter.
"Not funny" I snarled. "Oh fuck!" I said with a shaky voice when I saw some other zombies approaching. It was the worst experience of my life and I asked myself how Dean and Kenan couldn't be bothered at all, I already knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep for three nights straight. We made it out of this stupid maze after an hour and the boys were considerate enough to let me choose the next attraction as a peace offering after dragging me through that nightmare.
And I decided to go on the Jurassic Park ride because it involved water and I needed that kind of refreshment right now. Unfortunately, time was running out though, and after the ride, we decided to head to the souvenir shop to get something to remember this day forever, at last that's what Dean gushed about.
"How about this?" Kenan asked and held up a three-pack of friendship bracelets. They were simple, braided strands and actually, I liked it. "Looks cool, but you guys can't wear them on the pitch" I pointed out. "We can put some tape over them" he replied and Dean nodded. "Let's get them" my best friend said.
When I passed by a rack of basic memorabilia t-shirts with "Universal Studios Orlando" printed on them, I stopped and after a short inner debate, I pulled out a men's Large and headed to the cashier. "I think that's too big for you" I heard Kenan say as he suddenly appeared in front of me. Why was he always around?! "It's not for me" I hissed back. I didn't want to explain anything right now, especially not this to him.
So I pushed my way past him and paid for the stupid t-shirt, which I quickly stuffed into the abyss of my bag. Dean insisted on paying for the friendship bracelets and when we got outside again, we all put them on. "Now we will be connected forever" Dean said and grinned proudly. "Bet they'll tear in two weeks, stupid low-quality China products" I huffed, the pessimist in me shining through. "But our friendship will stay forever" Dean gushed and I just furrowed my eyebrows.
"We can also be more than friends, Beatrice" Kenan chuckled and I made a disgusted face. "Ok, enough flirting for today, you Turkish Casanova" Dean sighed and pushed away Kenan to the exit, where our mini van was waiting that took us back to our hotel.
