Late night conversations

"Anna, I am going to miss my flight if you do not let go of me." I mumble to my best friend as we are standing at the Airport in Amsterdam.

I have spend a total of 42 hours at home and now I am (well, I am trying to) to go home to New York.

"I do not want you to go." I knew this would happen. I was even considering not telling Anna that I was coming home at all. She is not good at goodbyes. Even though they are just temporary.

"Babe, I really have to go. I will see you soon, okay?."

"Okay.." she unwrap her arms and wipes away a tear the escaped her eye.

I lift up my weekend bag and walk to the counter to get my passport and ticket checked.
"Where are you going?." The woman behind the counter says as she grabs my documents.

"I am going back to New York." I will always think of Amsterdam as my home but that is only because my people are there. I do not really get attached to a place, only to people.

"O nice. You live there?."

"Yes, I do."

"Your friend doesn't seem to like that very much." She says as she nods to Anna.

I chuckle and look over my shoulder to where Anna is standing.
"We have been best friends as long as I can remember."

"Thank God that planes exist." She says as she hands me back my ticket and passport.
"Have a good flight."

"Thank you." I grab my bag and give Anna a little wave.

I mouth at her that I love her, which she returns and I walk through the door, to customs.

Luckily enough there aren't any big waiting lines and I am rather fast through customs.
As I put all my belongings back in my bag, my phone buzzes.

————————————————————————
From: Anna
Received at: 05:20 P.M

I miss you already.
————————————————————————
I chuckle at her weirdness. I type a quick response back and stuff my phone in my pocket.

After a quick stop at Starbucks, I arrive just in time at my gate. It doesn't matter how late I am somewhere, I need my coffee.

I hand the flight attendant my ticket.
"It seems like you have been upgraded to first class."

"Um what? Are you sure?." I am pretty sure Anna nor my parents have done that so, who the hell did?

"Yes, we just received a call about 10 minutes ago." Okay?.. that's weird right? Who would spend an extra 3000 bucks to upgrade me to a better class?

"Do you know who called you?."

"It was a man named: Andrew Gertler."

"I should have know."

"Right this way, Miss." she walks ahead of me into the tube that is connected to the plane.

————————————————————————
To: Andrew Gertler
Send at: 05:57 P.M

You should be nominated for 'the best boss of the year' award, you know.

As I walk into first class, I immediately get a hot towel pressed into my hands.

"This is your seat, Miss. I wish you a pleasant flight."

"Thanks." I am going to have such a good sleep. These chairs look like pure heaven.
