Living With These Five

12 Hours Plus

When travelling long distances, I love the fact that I am normally able to sleep in uncomfortable or small places because when I was finally woken up by the Sat-Nav telling us that we had reached our destination four hours after I got in the car with Scott. Small talk is not my speciality. I just find it the most awkward thing out. I try to, but most the time i fail and end up making a fool out of myself and then it’s up to them whether they carry on talking to me. I suppose i am a bit like marmite, you either love me or hate me. I don't mind. 

When we pulled up we were at a small air field where more men in boiler suits meant us as they were pulling out a small plane out of one of the sheds where it lived i guess. We parked in its spot. 

"Come on then" Scott said as he got out.

"Not until i am told what is happening" i demanded. I might of sounded like a full on spoilt brat but i was instructed to drive to a place where a stranger was going to drive me somewhere else. That was scary enough but now we have pulled up at an air field. I know we cannot drive to England but i would at least like to know where the hell i am and what was going on.

"I just thought you knew" he said, climbing back into the car, "Well, from here we in Nipton which is on the northern edge of Mojave National Preserve. From here we are getting that light aircraft to Phoenix where we will then get on a flight to Orlando after we've done all the security checks and all that then fly to England. It's the simplest way to get there without being spotted." 

"As long as you know what you are doing" I say confused, i don't think i should have asked. 

"Have you got your passport?" Scott asked.

"Yeah" i said after quickly checking my bag.

"I don't think you need anything else, i have everything else" he said getting out again and unloading the bags from the boot. I quickly follow to help him.

God knows how long it has taken to get here but i am finally here.

Back in England. 

Once we go through the security checks i was dragged from pillar to post trying to find where our bags were coming out. One person said they were going to be with everyone else’s and then someone else showed us to where they would be as they had been kept separate as they were private baggage as the security called it. So we had been waiting for an hour for the bags to be brought into us. Then someone else came in to tell us we were in the wrong room and took us to another then i decided i was going to look back where we were first told they would be and guess what... 

They were there! 

To say i was angry that they had kept us waiting for nothing was an understatement. I threw the bags onto a trolley as quickly as i could so that i could get the hell out of this airport. I hate them! I then asked one of the members of staff to go and get a man in waiting room 7. Then to hear her mutter about how some people were so rude. So instead of ignoring the comment i then shouted at her to quit moaning and do what she was paid to do and then politely asked another member of staff if there was any way to file a complete about a member of staff. Which is a quick process if you know what to write. 

I wrote:

Please can you see that Julie has some training on how to speak to members of public and how to keep her comments to herself as i am not happy with how she rudely made a comment after i asked her if she was able to do something for me. If she cannot deal with people asking for help then do not put her on a help desk. 

I will remain anonymous but will hope my comments are taken into consideration. 

That is what you get for messing with me when i have got no sleep because of a small hyper-active child who is way to excited to visit England on holiday and have been travelling for at least 12 hours.

I cannot wait to sleep. Screw seeing the lads and thanking them for getting me out of the house. 

"Oh you found them" Scott asked as he walked out of the waiting room corridor with moody Julie. Yes i went there, I going to act like i am four years old. 

"Yeah, they were going round and round and round" i said sarcastically.

"Someone needs to sleep" Scott said bouncing my sarcasm back.

"I thought so" Julie tried to whisper.

"Learn to whisper love" i said as we walked off 

"Meow!" Scott said trying hard not to laugh but completely failing.

"She spoke to me rudely!" 

"I'd complain" 

"BOOM! I already did" i said laughing. 

"Good" Scott said laughing as he continued to push the trolley full of suit cases. 

"Do you know where we are going?" i asked, everywhere looked the same. 

"Yeah, Paul should be waiting in the car out here" he said as we walked outside, "Here we are"

"Hey mate" Paul said as he got out of the car. 

"What's up?" Scott said shaking his hand. 

"So how was your flights?" he asked as he loaded the car. 

"Tiring" was all i could say to sum it up. 

Scott laughed, "There was a child who was a tiny bit hyper sat behind us and his parents just slept through the 9 hour fight so we both paid the price and could not get any sleep ourselves." 

"Then there was rude as member of staff on the help desk, who has never heard of customer service"

"Don't let her start ranting" Scott said getting into the passages side of the car, "She needs some sleep" 

"Well the boys won't be happy they are waiting up to see you" Paul said making them sound like my children who have missed me. 

"Great just what i need" i said watching the night sky out of the window as we drove to the hotel. It seems really weird to think that last time is was in a car it was the middle of the night and now it is 3am. 

"I'll text them and warn them" Scott said laughing 

"Don't I’ll just walk in, say hello and then go and get into a bed and whoever’s it is can find somewhere else to sleep" 

"It's a good thing they have the penthouse suit because i would never have been able to book you a room" Paul said

Penthouse suit! It's going to be really posh.  

We pulled up at a hotel that i had never heard of before and got all the bags out of the boot, i guess the front of house staff don't work nights. Then we walk straight in and passed the receptionist who gave me the dirtiest look ever as we got into the lift that said penthouse only. 

Once up on to the hallway that lead to double doors, which Paul unlocked i wasn't even aloud two seconds to look at the sight in front of me before Lou picked me up and gave me a massive huge that was more like a squeeze. 

"Hello to you too" i said when i was finally put down. 

"No one hurt you did they?" Louis asked 

"Other than you?" i said, rubbing my ribs that now killed 

"Yeah" 

"No, no one got near to me"

"Good, let me show you around" Louis said trying to drag me off. 

"Lou, in the morning please. I just want to go to sleep" I said walking down a corridor that looked like it would have bed rooms. I opened the first door and saw it had a bed in it. That was enough for me. 

Taking off my jumper, shoes and jeans i got into the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
