The Assistant Diaries (#watty2019)

Romania

For the past week, Beth was getting ready for the trip to Romania. Beth got a passport from the DMV. Sebastian had helped her with filling out the paperwork for the passport. They were going to Bucharest then Constanta for the trip.  While she was packing her clothes and personal items in her suitcase, she heard her phone go off on the nightstand. She saw Sebastian's name on the screen. Beth smiles as she read the message to herself.

Romania awaits tomorrow. Get enough sleep. We will be flying non stop. Bring some non perishable snacks. -Sebastian

Beth giggles as she responds back to him. The trip was going to be a long flight across the Atlantic to Europe.

Anything else for the trip ahead. -Beth

You! -Sebastian

Don't make me come over there, Stan. -Beth

Don't make me come over there, Clarke. -Sebastian

You wouldn't leave. -Beth

Nope! -Sebastian

It was about ten o'clock at night, Beth got showered and ready for bed. Before she crawled into bed, she send a message to Tony. It has been two weeks since his mother's fall. At least, she had Judy there to call for an ambulance. She broke her hip, and Paris had to be in rehabilitation center for a month. Paris felt new with her hip. She had to be in her wheelchair at all times.

Thinking of you. -Beth

She crawls into bed when her phone beeps. Beth looked at it. Tony messaged her back.

Thinking of you too. Have fun in Romania this week. Take some pictures. -Tony

After she read Tony's message, Beth fell asleep in her bed. Several hours later, Beth's alarm buzzed as she woke up. She pulled herself out of bed. Beth went into the kitchen and turn on the coffeemaker. Then she got comfortably dressed for the flight. When she got coffee into her thermos, Beth grabs her suitcase. She left her apartment for Sebastian's apartment. Beth flagged down a taxi for a ride. As she got to Sebastian's apartment, Beth got out of the vehicle. She paid the toll to the driver. Sebastian was coming out of the apartment with trash. After he was finished with the trash, Sebastian hugs Beth tightly. She holds him tight in her arms.

"Too early." Sebastian said.

"I know." Beth told him. "I didn't eat breakfast."

"I'll make some egg sandwiches for us before the driver comes." Sebastian smiles as he went into the kitchen.

During their breakfast, the airport driver came to the apartment. He hits his car horn a couple times with his hand. Sebastian and Beth finished their meal. They grabbed their suitcases and plane tickets. Sebastian put their suitcases in the car trunk. It was a hour long drive to JFK airport. Traffic had been terrible last few weeks due to construction. Once at the airport, Sebastian got their suitcases out of the car trunk. They went inside the airport to catch their flight to Bucharest, Romania.

Karen met them at the terminal with her suitcase. She was on her phone last minute. The security personnel began to search in their suitcases for bombs and weapons. They had waited for two hours to get on the plane. Sebastian and Beth sat together while Karen was behind them on the plane. During the long flight, Beth was reading magazines and books. Karen was watching her in flight movie. Sebastian slept with his head propped against the wall. Beth wanted to write her diary about the flight. She grabs the book and pen out of her bag.

Off to Romania. So far, the flight is calming. There are no high winds or storm issues at this altitude. It's quiet. Sebastian is sleeping. Karen is watching a movie. Romania is a few hours away. While at Bucharest, Romania, we will have a meet and greet with Sebastian's favorite charity. We will be there for a couple of days. Then Sebastian and I will tour Constanta, Romania before heading back to the States. It's going to be an exciting opportunity for me. I hope for the best regards to Sebastian. He needs it. I am going to get some shut eye before we land at the airport.
