Straight Outta Cali

Chapter 21

Camila's POV, New York City

We were staying at the Plaza hotel, the girls in one room and the boys in the other. We had arrived around an hour ago. I checked us into the hotel and then we went up to our rooms to set ourselves up. We decided that we were gonna meet up at 6:00pm, in the hotel's 5star restaurant for dinner. After unpacking my toiletries and the things I was gonna use daily, I decided to take a nap.

When I woke up, it was two in the afternoon. The girls weren't in the room, so I checked my phone and saw that I had a message from them saying that they were with Shawn, walking around NYC. I went over to Shawn and Antonio's room, and found Antonio flicking through the tv channels.

"Finally! you're up, let's go walk around," Antonio said.

It was now 4:00pm and Antonio and I had just gotten back. We had two hours to get ready, so we both went to our separate rooms.

Chanelle was taking her shower and Eleanor was in a bath robe with her hair in a towel.

"Hey Mila, where did you go?"

"Random places, we got lost on the way back though, so we took a taxi," I tell Eleanor. "How about you?"

"The Empire State Building. Since you and Antonio had already been to New York and saw and the touristy things, we thought that maybe Shawn, Chanelle and I would spend the entire day tomorrow visiting, and you and Antonio could do something else."

"Sure, that works. Ooh, I got an idea we'll go to Little Italy and find a good restaurant for dinner."

"Oh smart, I've been dying for fancy Italian food," Eleanor says.

Chanelle exits out of the bathroom in the same thing as Chanelle and says, "Camila, the showers all yours."

"Ok thanks."

After showering I put on my robe and put my hair in a towel, I sat down at the vanity and started doing my makeup. I put on mascara, did a brownish smokey eye, and put on some red lipstick. After I brushed my hair and let it air dry, I curled some lose waves and then a made a waterfall braid on the right side. Once I was finished I curled Chanelle's hair.

Once our hair and makeup was done we chose what we were gonna wear, and Chanelle and Eleanor got dressed right away, and then watched tv, while I decided to get dressed later since we still had 45min. 

I was scrolling through Instagram, when I saw the time on the clock.

"Fuck I only have five minutes to get dressed!"

Thank God I already chose my outfit! I race to where it's hanging and go into the bathroom. I put on my black low crop top that has an open back and a v-line with strings. I put on my red woven skirt, and a pair of black wedges. I rushed out of the bathroom, took my phone, and met the girls outside of the room. They told my that the guys were waiting for us at the entrance of the restaurant. We walked to the elevator and made our way to the restaurant, and met up with them.

As Antonio and the girls made there way into the restaurant, Shawn stopped me to kiss my cheek and say, "You look lovely."

I smiled and did a one-over of what Shawn was wearing: a navy blue suit with beige dress shoes. 

"You look quite dashing too."

He smiled and put his hand on my back and lead me to our tables with our friends.

After the restaurant, we all went out to walk around New York City together. We stopped at a small bar to take a few drinks, and after that we made our way back to the hotel since it was already one in the morning. Once at the hotel, we parted ways and got ready for bed.
