Mask and conversations

"So, tell us something about yourself." I am pulled out of my MacBook by Shawn's voice.
Within the first 5 minutes, after take-off, Andrew put me already to work. I had to make sure that everything was indeed taken care off when we land in Liverpool. And I mean everything. The hotel, extra security from the airport until the hotel. Everything.
Thank god this private jet has Wifi on board so, that makes my life a whole lot easier.

"Hold that thought. I have to finish writing this email otherwise the boss man will kick my ass."

"But I am the boss man." Shawn says jokingly. I look up from my screen to him, to Andrew and back to Shawn.

"Well, in that case." I say as I hit the send button from the email and close my MacBook.

"No no no.. you have to make sure that everything is settled." Andrew says, sounding completely stressed out.

"Shhhh.. the boss man wants my attention."- I give Andrew a wink, letting him know that everything is taken care off. For some weird reason, he seems to understand my signal and continues with whatever he is doing on his MacBook.
"What do you want to know, boss man?." I lean back into this extremely comfortable chair as I focus my eyes on Mr. Mendes.

"Well anything but let's start with the basics.. where are you from? What is your family like?."

(Sorry that I have to talk about this again. If you have any problems with it. Take it up with Shawn. Do not bother me, please. Thanks).

"Well, I am Dutch.."-

"Really? Where are you from in the Netherlands?." Shawn interrupts me enthusiastic. I normally hate it when someone interrupts while I am speaking but, if they are this enthusiastic about a damn city, than I think I should let it pass.

"From Amsterdam. Well, from a small town near Amsterdam to be more precise."

"Really? I love Amsterdam."

"Yea Amsterdam is great. Busy but great." I love Amsterdam, especially since I know the spots where tourists never go to.

"And what about your family? You still live at home." Shawn seems sincere interested in me. It's not like he is faking to be nice or anything. He is just a nice, down to earth guy. Thank God. Can you imagine how horrible it would be if he was like an arrogant prick.. damn.

"Yes I do. Even though I stay quite often at my friends apartment in Amsterdam city because it's easier to go from there to college. I can sleep at least another 30 minutes longer if I stay in the city."

"So, you are not a morning person?."

"Hell no, definitely an evening person." No doubt there. I hate those people who are like super active in the morning. Or people who cannot shut up. There has to be a 2 in the clock otherwise I am not talking to you.

"That is going to be fun. I am a morning person."

"Good to know. I will barricade my door from now on." A soft chuckle comes out of his mouth. I have this thing, that whenever I am actually really serious, people still think that I am joking. It's so weird..

"So, what about your family? Do you have any siblings?." He continues.

"Yes, I have a sister. Lily." God, I really need to call that kid. It is such a shame that it's impossible to call in airplanes otherwise I would have called her by now.

"That's cool. Are you close?."

"It's hard. Our personalities are quite different from each other, but I do really love her."- Even though she is a bitch sometimes, she is still my little sister so, it's my duty to protect her.
"Do you have any siblings?."
