Chapter 25

New York Fashion Week - Pt. 1

"Oh how I love New York" I smile as I step out our taxi and we are quickly greeted by the bellhop who packs our bags as we begin to enter the extravagant lobby. I bring my dark sunglasses to my head as I felt the tiredness from the flight hit me at once.

"I'm so exhausted" Elle yawns and nod in agreement as I check my phone. Madison had texted me a picture of her hotel room, in which she complains the bed is too big for her likening, as it reminded her of how lonely she is. Madison was saying at different hotel from us, along with Felicity (thank god) who had, amusingly enough, a delayed flight. I would've invited her on the jet but Oliver had beat me to it seemingly.

"Sarah was telling me- and you can't be mad" Ellie starts and I'm already rolling my eyes as we get handed our hotel keys.
"What" I snap "What could my darling Sarah have to possibly say now?" It came out more bitter than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong, I loved Sarah, honestly and genuinely did. But I had a strong feeling I wouldn't like what she had just said.

"Your bestie, Felicity, is of course all over Oliver" And as he words leave her mouth I freeze in my steps as I turn to look Ellie in the eye.

"You're lying" are the only words that come out my mouth as I press, hard, against the elevator buttons. Rage possessing me as I balled my hands into fist.

"Why would I? "she says calmly as she blows against her nails "Are you honestly surprised though" she tilted her head as she looked up at me with a confused-unimpressed expression "Like honestly?"

"Well Eleanor, we only broke up for a fucking week- I thought both of them had more class" I threw my hands up in frustration as I fought the urge to begin crying "but of course they don't" I shake my head as the door open and we enter the lift.

"Honey, this is Felicity we're speaking about" She pressed the pretty gold buttons as I waited patiently "she's a bit of a backstabbing whore" and I can't help but burst out into laughter as Ellie stand there, not understanding why I'm amused "I'm not joking" she says as her eyes go wide while she raises her eyebrows with concern "she's the reason Adam and I kept on breaking up"

"Maybe it's her type" I joke and Ellie seems even more bewildered by this

"I didn't know other people's boyfriends were a classified as a type" She retorts and I giggle while leaving the lift to the hallway of our floor
"continue with your story please- How does Sarah know this?" I ask raising an eyebrow

"She saw them at the airport... Apparently she was trying to do the whole cuddling couple thing and he wasn't having it" She starts and I nod to myself as the image of the two plays in my head.

I could see her and her ginger hair trying to lean on him or perhaps even try hold his hand and he'd simply shrug her off as he often did. Knowing him he'd wear his grey shirt and black jeans while impatiently waiting for the flight, he hated waiting. He'd then get himself a black coffee, one sugar. Knowing Felicity, she'd try cuddle up next to him as they sat down on the comfy lounge seats, he'd move up cause everyone knows not to touch Juliet's boyfriend in the morning, only Juliet can. Past tense intended of course.

"Clearly they've been fucking then... if they're on the same morning flight, on his jet" I say tightening my face "It's kinda cute don't you think?"

"Ew no" She scoffs as she hands me my key and begins unlocking the door bedside me

"Hear me out-" I start as my door opens, revealing a moderately big hotel room with dark walls and soft white carpet.

There a moment of silence as we both drop off our things in our respective rooms before she prances into mine, slamming the door on her way in "What could possibly be cute about it"
