(4 weeks later)

We landed in New York and we could not be anymore excited. I've always wanted to come to New York and because the concert isn't until until tomorrow night, we have plenty of time to walk around and see everything.

After we get settled into our hotel, Blake wants to go out to take pictures so we, of course, go with him. We were walking on grove street and i was a little bit ahead, the boys getting too distracted to catch up. I stop in my tracks, causing the boys to run into me, when i see what building we're in front of.

"leilei, you okay?"

"Blake, look where we're at!" I point up at the Friends apartment building with a huge grin.

"No way." He says in disbelief.

"This is officially the greatest day." George says.

"Do you think we could go in?" Reece asks.

"Let's find out!" Blake grabs my hand and we run across the street. Luckily we can go in and see Monica's apartment. Blake and I are freaking out a lot and we took loads of pictures. It was a dream, honestly.

After hours of walking around New York, we make our way back to the hotel. Everyone got hungry so blake got takeout for all four of us. Soon after we finished eating, reece announced that it was their interview time.

"Sorry babe..." Blake turns to me as they were getting ready to walk out.

"Don't apologize. You didn't come on tour to spend time with your girlfriend. You came to spend time with your band mates and fans, so take your time if you want." I tell him.

"You're the best." He kisses my cheek and they head out. They weren't going to be back until late at night so i thought i'd do some shopping.

I was walking around the shops in Times Square when someone stopped me in a makeup store.

"Leilani, is that you?" Someone asks. I turn around and i see a girl about my age with brown curly hair and green eyes.

"Yes it's me! What is your name?"

"My name is layla! I love new hope club and i've wanted to meet you and the boys for the longest time!" 

"Good to meet you! Sorry the boys aren't with me right now, they're at interviews."

"That's totally fine, i understand." She smiles. "Glad i got to meet you."

"Do you want to join my shopping spree?" i ask.

"Yes, of course!"

For the next couple hours we buy makeup, clothes, shoes, etc. We eventually get hungry so we stop at this cute little cafe for dinner.

"So you need to spill the tea." layla smiles.

"About?"

"You and Blake. Is he a good kisser?" She laughs and i join in too.

"Good kisser is the understatement of the year." 

"Ooo spicy." She says and i laugh once again.

"Indeed."

"Do you want to go back to my hotel room and hang out? There's a pool and hot tub," i offer.

"Sure, I just don't have a swim suit." 

"I've got plenty you can borrow." I say and we make our way back to my hotel room. We quickly get changed and head up to the roof pool and hot tub.
