Small Town Girl

Chapter 3

Here is Chapter 3 sorry I was late posting it, I had a lot going on this week.  But anyways I hope you like it!!!

______________________________

It was the next morning and Chace and I had just arrived at my house to pick up my things.  I also had to tell my mother where I was going, but she wasn't home so I just left her a note.  She will most likely be furious with me, but that's okay, she'll get over it.  Once we had loaded my bags into the car we began the forty minute drive to the train station.

After arriving at the train station we went to the ticket counter to pick up our tickets.  We were lucky and there wasn't a long line so it only took about ten minutes to get through it.  For the next hour or so we just sat around reading magazines and talking.  

"The train to Penn Station is now boarding" the intercom announces throughout the station. 

"That's us" I said to Chace as I grabbed my stuff.

We walked out to the train and dropped off our luggage at the part where it was supposed to be stored.  Once we did that, we went and found our seats.  Sitting down I looked around and noticed that there were mainly adults and teens in our part of the train.  Which is great because I can't take crying babies on long rides like this.  Our train to New York would take about nine and a half hours or so.

Finally, when the train started to move I found myself thinking about how excited I was about going to Manhattan.  Ever since I was about ten I knew that was where I wanted to live after attending college.  Ohio can become so boring at times, we only have a few things that teenagers can do in the city we live in, and they get old fast.  Where as in Manhattan you have a ton of things to do and you won't run out, at least not anytime soon.

The train ride felt like it was never going to end, but when it did I was so glad.

We were currently in a taxi on the way to the hotel we were going to be staying at.  Right now it was already five in the afternoon, so the only thing we are probably going to do is go out to dinner.

We arrived at the hotel and quickly paid the taxi driver.  The Lowell is the hotel we are staying in and it was located only a few blocks from Central Park, which is amazing. 

"Good afternoon" The doorman said to us as he opened the doors to the hotel as we carried our bags in.  

The room we were in was located on the 11th floor, it is a two bedroom suite complete with a kitchen, a living room, two terraces, and of course a bathroom.  I told Chace we should stay somewhere less expensive, but he refused.  He said that this is where he always stays when he comes to New York and it is his favorite place.  

"So do you want to go out and get something for dinner or do you just want to order room service" Chace asked putting my bags in my room for me. 

I wasn't that hungry to be honest, but I did want to walk around the city for a little while.

"Let's go out and get something" I answered with a smile.

"Well I know the perfect restaurant over on 65th St" He said.

"Ok well I'm going to go and change into something else" I replied, glancing down at my t-shirt and jeans, which was probably not appropriate for a dinner out Manhattan on the upper east side.  

Searching through my suitcase I choose a simple mint green dress and paired it which my black Tory Burch flats that Chace bought me for my birthday last year.  I decided I would also just leave my hair down and makeup natural.
