A Long Way Home

Chapter Eight

                              
                                 Erik's POV

     We then went out of the bathroom and got our luggage. We hailed a taxi and drove to the hotel that we would be staying at for the two weeks we would be in Australia.
     When we finally got to the hotel we were exhausted and jet lagged. It was then about 1:30 at night and we were very tired. The most I took in walking into the hotel was it was grand. It only held about fifteen rooms which gave the owners of the hotel more money to spend on other things.
     The entrance was like you'd see in a movie. Two giant staircases leading up to the second floor, which I guessed was all the rooms. Downstairs was a restaurant and a gift shop. It also had an indoor and outdoor pool, as well as a sauna.
     It was great but of course we were tired and headed straight to our room after getting the keycard. Inside the room it was just as amazing as the lobby.
Right when you walk in there are two beds next to each other. There were two bedside tables on the sides of each bed. Each with a lamp and a basket of assorted chocolates and fruits. On the other side of the room was the doorway to the closet and bathroom.
The closet was a walk-in with plenty of room to put the small amount of stuff me and Javen had brought.
The bathroom was huge! It had a jakoozie tub and a his and her sink. Again with plenty of room for our stuff. The countertops were white and grey marble. It had a huge walk in shower with beautiful brown and red tile outlining the whole shower.
Back in the main room it had surrounding windows to show off the views of the city. In the farthest corner from the entrance door was a small kitchenette. It also had the marble countertops just like in the bathroom. It came with a stove, sink, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, and dishwasher. All stainless steel.
The living area had two love seats and a giant flatscreen tv hanging on the wall.
"Whoa! What an amazing view and hotel room!" said Javen. Yeah, it's amazing! We went straight to the beds and fell asleep only to wake up to our door being knocked!
Javen: Hello?
Person: Hello, this is your waiter. My name is Andrew.
I went to open the door. There was Andrew, dressed in the clothes that you would expect a waiter to wear. Except the weird thing was, he didn't have any food with him.
Andrew: Hello! I am just here to introduce myself. I will be delivering all your food and activities whilst you stay here. Just call down from the phone that's next to your bed and say to send Andrew to bring you any food or anything else.
Javen walked up beside me and put his hand on my shoulder. He nodded toward the waiter and said thank you. "Actually could you bring us something to eat right now?" Javen asked. "Oh yes of course what would you like?"
Me: Can I get salad appetizer with a 6oz. steak? And a sweet tea please?
Andrew: "Of course. Now what would you like?" He asked Javen.
Javen: Umm, can I just get a burger with everything on it and a sweet tea too?
Andrew: Yes you can. I will have those both up here in less than ten minutes!
And with that he was gone.
     "Well that was weird," I said turning to Javen.
     Yeah for sure. He was kinda creepy but I guess he was just doing his job.
     We went to sit on the huge and comfortable coach in the main living area. We decided to put on a show.
Javen: How about "Say Yes to the Dress"?
Me: Oh my god you are so gay!
Javen: I know.
     He flicked on "Say Yes to the Dress" and we watched. I put my hand in the middle of the coach signaling that he could take it. I guess he noticed because he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "We should go sight seeing tomorrow and then the next day we can go see your mom?" I nodded and then snuggled up next to him and he rested his arm around me. We sat in silence just watching the tv.
     It was then 7:00pm when Andrew got back with our food.
Andrew: "Hello gentleman!" He said pushing us aside and pushing the trolley in with the silver platters on it.
Me: Umm hi. Thanks so much for the food.
Andrew: Oh your welcome and please enjoy your stay. Remember to call me any time you need assistance and I will be right up.
Me: Of course.
     Javen tipped him and he left. We both turned toward the tray holding the food we ordered. The delicious smell of steak wafted through my nose.
     We didn't bother about eating politely we just dug in. It was the best meal I have had in ages and it was delicious. The steak was tender and juicy. The salad had real bacon bits. Not the hard crunchy ones. The expensive kind with actual ground up bacon. It was delicious.
     After we were done eating it was 8:30 already. We decided that if we want to get our sleeping schedule back on track we better go to bed now. So we did and slept the rest of the night. I was very excited for the day ahead where we would go sightseeing together!
