We finally arrive in NYC and find our way to the hotel. We have no meeting today so we're free in NY. We all decide to go get food together first and walk into a taco bell. We settle down at a long table and order something to eat. We peacefully eat and talk with all of us and mess around a bit after in the city. The group starts to slowly become smaller because everyone parts in smaller groups to go somewhere else. While we're walking through the city Payton asks Avani to go explore with the 2 of them. They're going on a date how cute is that. We tell them goodbye and walk further.
It's just Me, Noen, Chase and Anthony left and we go inside some stores with the 4 of us. After what feels like visiting 20 stores it's already 5 PM and we're just walking through the city again since we're tired of shopping. Noen comes walking next to me and slowly takes my hand in his, which makes me look up at him. "Do you maybe want to go out for dinner with me?" He carefully asks, and a smile creeps on my face. "Are you asking me on a date Eubanks?" i joke, and he slowly nods. "I'd love to" i answer, and he smiles wide at me. "Would you guys mind if Noen and i get dinner together?" i go over to Chase and Anthony and ask them. "Ofcourse not, we'll suit ourselves" Chase answers, and they both smirk at us. "Alright see you guys later okay" Noen and i say goodbye to them, and they do the same. "So what kind of food are you up for?" i ask Noen, and he shrugs. "Anything but seafood, i don't really like that" he answers, and i nod. "Me neither. What about italian?" i say back, and he nods excited. "Italian it is" i smile, and we search for the nearest italian restaurant. It's about 15 minutes walking but we don't mind, we have plenty of time and New York is beautiful anyways. Noen holds my hand while we walk through the streets of NY and search for the restaurant.
We've been walking for a little while when we see a bunch of fans coming over to us. They know we're in NY, so they've probably been searching for any of us. We decide to take some time to talk to them since it's only 5:30 so food is not the most important yet. I remember me and Noen are holding hands and slowly let go, not that no one saw but still. We say hi to them and take pictures with them. "Are you guys on a date?" a girl asks me, and i quickly look over at Noen. He smiles at me and i do to. "I guess you could call it that, yes" i answer, and they go wild. Someone also asked about Cynthia, but we told them we couldn't say much due to management. We just said that she made things up that weren't true and that obviously Chase and her broke up because of that. They were suprised she left tour, not that they didn't get why, but just in general. What is normal ofcourse. After about 20 minutes we say goodbye to them and walk further to the restaurant, which we arrive at only 5 minutes later.
We get a seat inside and look at the menu before we both order our food. We just talk a bit until we get our order and happily start eating. I get a text from Avani and open it while eating.
Avani:
Avani: Are you and Noen up for a movie in our room at 7?
Me: We're still having dinner so might be a little later but let me ask him 😎
"Hey Avani and Payton ask if we're up to see a movie in our room when we're done here, are you down?" i ask Noen, and he looks up from his own phone. "Payton texted me too, yeah sure if you're down" he laughs, and tells me. I nod and we both text them we'll be there when we're done eating. It's almost 7 PM when we leave the restaurant again and we decide to take an uber to the hotel, since we walked pretty far. We finally get back a few later and i open mine and Avani's room with my badge and see them already sitting on her bed in front of the tv. "Ahh yes finally! Please help me convince Payton to watch Titanic!!" Avani emediately says to us as we walk in and get rid of our shoes and everything. "Ah come on Payton it's a great movie!" i tell him, and he sighs. I look at Noen and wait for him to say something. "I don't mind watching it" he says, and Avani and i both smirk at Payton. "Alright alright we'll watch it" he laughs, and we jump in joy. Noen and i sit down on my bed which is also on the other side of the tv, and i search up the movie.
I see Avani and Payton cuddle up to each other a little into the movie and i smile in myself. I take my phone out and text her.
Avani:
Me: Soooo, are you guys a thing now?
Avani: Yes! He asked me to be his girlfriend at dinner earlier today 🥰
Me: Ahhh i'm so happy for you!! I've been waiting for this for too long Av 🥺
Avani: I'm really happy too ☺
Avani: And you guys 😏
Me: Nothing official. We'll talk about this when the boys are gone 🤪
Avani: Gladly!
I close my phone again and share a laugh with her on the other side, making both of the boys frown at each other. We laugh again and finally go back to watching the movie. Suddenly Noen places his arm around me and i lay my head on his shoulder.
When the movie is over, we talk for a little longer before the boys get to bed. Avani and Payton share a goodnight kiss and Payton waits in the doorway for Noen to follow him. "Sleep tight Sarah" He tells me, and places a kiss on my forehead. "Goodnight Noen, you too Payton" i smile, and tell Payton the same. They both leave and suddenly Avani jumps next to me on my bed. "Back to bussiness, tell me about you and Noen" she emediately says, and i laugh at her. "Tomorrow rigth before breakfast we were talking and well, we kissed. And then about 2 hours after the 2 of you left he asked me to get dinner with him. And called it a date. Sooo it's going good, but not too good. I'm not complaining, i like to wait a little time to get freaky. I've only known him for a few days you know" i explain her everything, and at the end she nods. "I completely understand. See, Payton and i have known each other for almost 8 months now and we just now got together. No rush. But i'm so happy for you guys" she tells me, and i nod and smile at her. She tells me about her date with Payton next and we just talk about random stuff after, before we finally get to sleep at 11 PM or so.
