My Brother's Best Friend

"Garrett! Take my picture!" I posed in front of the gigantic window in our hotel room, you wouldn't believe our view. It was snowing lightly, and you could see all the big shining lights and buildings around us.

We were on the top floor of this fancy hotel. Thankfully Matt did get us our own room. I feel like I'm living in an episode of Jessie.

Matt and Savannah were getting ready for lunch, then we were all going to do a little shopping.

I did already buy Garrett a birthday present, but I feel like it won't be enough. Maybe I can find a little something for him here.

"You know while we are waiting..."

"No babe, I told you, you're gonna have to wait," I grinned. He groaned and slumped on the couch, turning on the flat screen in the living area.

"Do you think there's anyone famous staying here?" I ask curiously looking at the famous art on the walls.

"We should go explore that question. Tonight, we will accidentally go knocking on some doors."

I laughed, "Sounds like a plan."

We walked down 7th Avenue, hand in hand to Olive Garden. Matt said they would meet us there in a little, which meant they were most likely in bed with each other.

We sat down in a booth at a window, you could see the square from here. I am so in love. I am never leaving this beautiful city.

"Well, would you look what the cat dragged in?" Garrett turned his head to the left to see Matt and Savannah walk in, hand in hand. They sat down and didn't speak.

"Matt you may want to get the lipstick off of your neck." Garrett laughed and gave me a high-five across the table.

Matt rolled his eyes, "Have Y'all ordered yet?"

"No, we were waiting for you guys to finish up your business."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to keep you waiting." Sav said with her head down not looking us in the eyes.

"No, no it's fine. Garrett and I did a little bit of exploring."

"Yeah, exploring in her pu-." I kicked him under the table. "Ow!"

"Good I hope that hurt." I smiled. "Exploring around the city. We got lost on the way here and found some things."

Savannah laughed. "Typical. You are terrible with directions."

"Hey! It wasn't my fault! Garrett got it wrong!"

He gasped, "Did not, you big fat liar!"

"Now Garrett, take up for your mistakes you don't have to lie." Matt patted him on the back. Garrett groaned pulling out his phone and playing on it for a minute.

The waiter finally came to our table and we ordered. I ordered the soup and salad, the minestrone.

He told me to smile as he was taking a picture of me from across the table, "Where is that going?" I ask.

"Snapchat story."

I pulled out my phone to look at the photo and groaned at his caption, "Olive Garden isn't the only thing I'm eating tonight."

"Garrett!" I laughed, I'm glad everyone knows about our sexual life.

We gobbled up the food and made our way to our next tourist spot. Matt and Savannah didn't want to go to Central Park with us, so they went off and did whatever they wanted to do.

"Oh my god, Garrett you know what we need to do?"

"What?"

"Let's go to The Met and sit on the steps like Gossip Girl!"
