Amber's POV

2009, 7:00 am

John F. Kennedy International Airport

Finally! I have arrived New York! Alone time for Amber at last! I stretched my body and fixed the snap back on my head.

No parents, no girlfriends, just me and the bustling city of New York.

Amber's adventure of a lifetime before her lockdown..

Good thing I convinced Mom to let me visit first before flying to them. Even just for a few hours I will have a chance of touring this magnificent city alone and free. No girlfriends hanging at my side whining about how tired they are or how cold it is.

I'm a girl too but I dress like a guy and looks more like a guy and likes girls but still a girl. In short, I'm gay. I know it's hot or cold so why wear something not appropriate or why whine at me if you chose to join me. You know what I'm saying?! That's why I easily lose interest with them after a week.

High school is like a jungle full of vicious animals lurking around, talking about territories and latest conquers. I'm one of the chosen few who is on top of the food chain. Since coming out, a lot of my female school mates throw themselves at me asking for me to date them. I'm pretty famous too with the male crowd as their crush or their Idol when it comes to girls.

At the age of 18, I already dated half the population of my High School and bedded a few of them. My first time was with a pretty and sexy Senior, her name was Suzy and she taught how to do it. After she graduated, I started to have different girlfriends every week for the rest of my stay on the school until I graduated too.

Why am I doing it? Maybe because I'm bored and maybe because I want to prove something. Love is just a feeling of lust, after the rush, it ends there.

And by tomorrow I will meet my parents and do everything what they want me to do as what is expected of me. They want me to go home and continue my studies there, but the real thing is Dad just wants me close to them so I can learn the business while I'm attending the university.

Scratch that Amber, just about that for now. Because for 15 hours you have the freedom to do whatever you want.

I only have my backpack with me and it already contains all the valuable things I needed. No need for me to bring luggages, I also have clothes to where I am flying. Probably been readied by Mom just waiting for me to arrive. Some of my important huge things are also shipped a week ago.

I went out of the airport with my bag slinging on my shoulders and a dark sunglass covering my eyes. There's a lot of taxi but I chose one that looks safe. The driver is a middle age brunette with a big smile on her face.

"Hi... Ahmm could you take me to a place I will enjoy.." Great Amber. What a choice.

"Sure thing son, but what specific place do you want? There's a lot of places to visit here in New York that you'll definitely enjoy. " She told me with a smile on her face. She emits a motherly aura that's why I feel comfortable with her.

"Then what do you suggest? It's my first time here and will just stay until tonight. I just need a quiet place where I can see a lot of people and trees. Or museums and other landmarks." Being stuck in L.A. is not a good idea. I was born and raised there but my parents won't even let me travel to other parts of the country. I've been to SanFo with them before and Washington. We mostly do out of the country visits.
