Tour

We've just arrived to the hotel in Sydney and my mom, me and Tyler's room is very nice and luxurious with two bedrooms, a living room and a small kitchen. This is the place we are staying for the next two days.

"Wow this is very nice." My mom says stunned. Non of us have ever tried to stay a night at a luxurious hotel like this.

"It really is." I say and I look down at Tyler. "What do you think Tyler?" He just nods. He's probably very tired from the traveling.

"So what now?" My mom asks.

"Well, I have to run because we're all gonna get together for the tour meeting." I tell her.

"Okay, have fun baby." She says and kisses my cheek.

"Thanks." I say and squat down so I'm the same high as Tyler. "Be good to grandma."

"I promise." He says and I kiss him on the forehead.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too mommy." He says. I walk out of the hotel room and down the long hallway. I suddenly feel someone grabbing my sides and make a loud scary sound which makes me jump and scream. The person then hugs me closely into him and I can now hear Marshall laugh in my ear.

"You scared the shit out of me!" I laugh. I get a warm feeling in the whole body from being close to Marshall, to feel him and smell him just feels nice. I haven't seen him since we went on vacation so I've really missed him.

"That was so not my intention." He says ironic.

"You always have this weird need to be mean to me." I say as I turn around to look at him. He looks down at me smiling, I really like his smile.

"What can I say?" He chuckles. "I'm an asshole."

"I can't argue with that." I say.

"Admit it, you've missed me." He says. I have! Very much!

"Are you kidding?" I ask. "I've been in paradise for the past week."

"Fuck you." He laughs and begins to tickle me.

"Marshall stop!" I laugh and try to get out of his grip but he's too strong.

"Are you gonna behave now?" He laughs but I don't answer him. "Are you?"

"Y..yes! Yes! Just please stop!" I laugh.

"Say that you've missed me." He demands.

"I've missed you." I laugh and he finally stops tickling me.

"We have to get down to that meeting or else Paul is gonna whip our ass," Marshall says.

"We can't have that." I say smiling and we walk down to the meeting.

The meeting goes well and we're just making clear to everybody how our schedule looks like.
Here's a lot people that I don't know, some of them I've talked to over the phone and other I'm completely unaware who is. I guess I will get to know them throughout the tour.
It's very weird that I have so much to say in all this, I've practically arranged this whole tour with Marshall, Paul and Marc so if people have any questions they mostly have to come to me. It's maybe more weird to people because I am new and haven't tried this before.

"And then I think we should all start this tour with a get together tonight in the big lounge on the first floor." Paul now says. Paul has arranged a get together to shake the whole team together. "So go into to your room and get ready, eat some food and then we'll meet in the lounge at 9 where there'll be served drinks." All people yell and whistle in excitement that we're starting the tour this way. We all also know that we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow so we can't get too drunk.
