Song for the chapter : Empire State of Mind - Jay z and Alicia Keys.
This chapter is a Tribute to NEW YORK CITY. <3
Christina sits beside me, our legs brush. Let me tell you she is hot! I want to do a lot of things to her but she is intoxicated, and she is my neighbor so we'll be seeing each other more often so i don't want to rush things.
"So, what do you do?" She asks me
"I just got into NYU" I said.
"Oh. I work at feeds101" she told me.
"Good." I love how her lips move; she has fuller lips just like Olivia.
"I got to go, it's too late." I tell her
"Care to smoke?" she asks me as she picks up our empty coffee mugs.
"You smoke?" obviously she does.
"Who doesn't ! lets go." She holds my hand and leads to out the door and on to our apartment roof.
The view from the roof is mesmerising, i can practically see the entire New York City. This is the thing about New York, it's beautiful you fall in love with the city the day you land at JFK. The yellow cabs, tall buildings and fast moving life, I have always loved New York; If you make it here you can make it anywhere!
She lights two cigarettes and hands me one, we stand and take in the beauty of New York City.
"Isn't it pretty?" Christina asks me.
"Very!" I say.
We smoke our cigarettes and just stare into the beautiful city.
I never really stop and stare, I am always on the go because when you stop and stare you brain runs at 100 miles in a minute and I hate over thinking, but sometimes it's okay to just be at peace and be thankful that you are alive and surviving .
"I am going to sleep." Christina tells me.
"I'll stay here for awhile." I tell her. She leaves.
My mind in wandering everywhere, I think about my mother, my past, the first time I got drunk, Julia, and Olivia.
The wind here is like a drug, it's playing with my head. But I love the peace and I am ready to start with the new semester and my new life in New York!
After awhile I go back to my apartment and smoke one more cigarette,
I dial Olivia's number, its too late she might be asleep, i really dont know why am I doing this.
"Hello?" She says in a sleepy voice.
"Olivia." I say
"Ryan?" her voice is full of surprise.
"how are you?" I ask her.
"Good, how are you ?"
"I am very well, Olivia." I tell her
"Is everything okay?" She asks me
"um, yes yes." I assure her.
"Where are you Ryan?" She asks me. I cannot tell her where I am, I came here for a reason.
"I have to go, good night Olivia." I hang up the phone
