All Because of a Trip

Chapter Four- A New Start, a New Beginning

I walk through the halls of the airport, finding my way round. Ah! The exit. Now I just need to find the taxi my aunt booked for me. In taste you didn't know, my aunt lives in Dubai so I'm staying with her.

Now I need to find my name..... Christa, no. Benjamin, no. Oh! Ayla.

As soon as I spotted my name, I quickly jogged over to the pale white man in a smart clean black suit, with nearly no hair and a blunt expression on his face. It was kind of funny with him looking bored out of his life, holding up a board with my name on it.

He might of not noticed me coming, probably dreaming about something. So I got him out of his blunt thoughts woke him up.

"Erm, excuse me sir. I'm Ayla. Is there a taxi waiting for me?" I asked. He flung his head towards my eyes as soon as he heard my voice. Yep, I must of been right when I said that he was dreaming about something.

"Wha- oh, yes. Please follow me with your luggage, madam." He replied. Wow, what a gentlemen. I followed the man when I realised that I didn't know his name.

"Oh sir. Um, I didn't catch your name.." I muttered, afraid I may of said something weird. Hey, I'm not good with social skills.

"Haha, dear don't worry about me. And I'm your aunt's driver, Mr Dabir. And no need to be so formal with me. Oh and incase you're confused why I'm here, is because your aunt sent me so you won't get lost." He replied happily as his lips slowly curved into a gentle smile.

"Oh, ok Mr Dabir."

We reached a cream coloured Toyota taxi with a red paint covering the top half of the taxi, finished with a clear taxi sign on top.

I climbed in the passenger seat, oh wow. These seats are really comfortable, a bit like the plane seats.

We headed downtown, passed busy streets of people in dresses and smart suits. Wow, what a busy day. Well it is the holidays.

I remembered what my aunts house looked like, since she showed us pictures of it and her small little Chihuahua puppy who is really angry at times.

It may have taken quiet a while to get to my aunts house, well obviously because my aunt was in a quiet area, as she said, and we were in a small narrow streets, with tall building and people running about. This is gonna get me some time to get used to, because I live near the countryside in England but a little close to the city so it's not too loud or not too quiet.

---(20 minutes later)---

"Miss Ayla, Miss Ayla! We're here!" Shouted Mr Dabir as I woke up from a quick nap. I didn't even realise I fell asleep. Embarrassing.

"Oh, my apologies mr Dabir. I must of dozed off. Wait, we're here?" I apologised.

I looked outside the clear window, seeing a huge white building stand in front us. Wow, I think this is a hotel surrounded by beautiful palm trees and the Dubai flag standing at the top of the building. This looks really expensive! Wait, I thought I was being dropped of at my aunts...

"We are at Hotel Ramada Jumeirah. Please take all your luggage from the trunk and enjoy your stay." Said Mr Dabir.

"Wait, hotel?! But I was told that I was being dropped off at my aunt's house.." I replied, confused.

"Oh well dear, there's been a slight change. Your aunt has had some problems making space for you and she's very busy with her work. So she booked you an apartment here."

Oooooh, that explains a lot.

"Oh okay now I understand. Thank you Mr Dabir for the transport."
