Welcome to New York, It's Been Waiting. (Josh Hutcherson Fanfic)

See ya around Texas.

I pull out a pair of headphones, plug them into my phone, and put on some Ed Sheeran. Apparently, I was tired cause I woke up to the flight attendant on the speakers "ladies and gentlemen, we wil begin our descent in about 5 mins. If you could please return your seat to it's upright position and fasten your seatbelts, we will be landing momentarily. thank you" I look down at my phone and change it to Taylor Swift's 1989. And the first song that comes on is Welcome to New York. "how ironic" I whisper aloud to myself. I smile and look out the window and see the beautiful city of New York below. We land and I unload my things and head through the gate. I walk outside of the airport and try my best at getting a cab. I fail miserably, and stand there thinking for a second.  Before I try again, some random guy who looks to be about 35 or so comes up behind me and whistles and immediately a cab pulls up. I turn around to thank him. "thank you" "so I take it you are not from here?" "is it that obvious?" "oh yeah" He loads my suitcase in the trunk for me. I thank him again and get in the cab. I give him the address of the hotel and we drive for about 25 minutes before we reach it.  I pay him and get out and unload my suitcase. "oh my gosh" I look around in awe. I'm in the middle of Tims Square. I take a deep breath and take it all in. "I can't believe this is all happening to me" i turn around to walk towards the hotel. When I approach it, to my surprise there is a small crowd outside. Oh great. I picked the same hotel as some celebrity. As if i'm not already nervous enough about this interview, now I want to know who is also at this hotel! I finally make my way into the lobby and check in. I get my room key and go up to the 14th floor. As soon as I open the door, the first thing I see is the view. I have the most unbelievable view of Times Square. I take out my phone and decide to skype my sisters back home. I call Ashley and she answers. They apparently were able to set it up on some projector thing so everyone could see me and I could see everyone. "Guys! check this out!!" I switch cameras on my phone so I can show them the room. "So you think it's just another nice hotel room until... BAM!" I show them the veiw and hear all the gasps and girls saying thats amazing, its beautiful, and things like that. "I also think that some celebrity is at the same hotel. Look at all the people crowded up down there" I show them the now bigger crowd outside and then hear Olivia speak "OOO if it's a hot guy, get a picture" I laugh "i'll try just for you Liv" We all laugh and I tell them my flight was good and how nervous I am about the interview. They assure me i'll do great. We talk about random stuff and as I am about to go, Avery says "Carter came here earlier looking for you. It was right after we dropped you off" "yeah he called and we talked for a minute but then I had to board my flight. He said we can talk more when I get back" We talked for a few more minutes and then I said goodbye and told them I would keep them updated. I decide to call the concierge and ask for a good take out recomendation. She gives me the name of a good Chinese place and I order. About 30 minutes later, they deliver it to the hotel and I eat dinner and watch a movie. I soon go to bed, almost too excited to sleep, and dream about the amazing day of sightseeing I will do tomorrow.

I wake up the next morning around 10 a.m. It's been awhile since I have gotten to sleep in. I get up and take a shower. While my hair is drying, I do my makeup. Subtle, but yet enough to emphasize my best features. I get dressed in nice dark jeans with a cute purple top. I top it off with a cute scarf that's more for looks than to actually keep me warm. I put some earrings on and then go to the bathroom to fix my hair. I blow dry it and try to contain it a little bit and throw it up into a messy ponytail cause I know it'll bother me otherwise. I throw on some cute sandals and grab my smaller purse that I packed in my suitcase and I head out the door. I practically run out of the door and run right into some guy who was walking down the hall. I drop my purse and a few things fall out. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry" I say frantically. I bend down to pick up all the things that fall out of my purse and I hear a deep voice say "here let me help you with that" He comes down to the same level as me and grabs a few things that are out of my reach. He hands them to me and says "I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention" I look at him as we both stand up. He is in dark wash jeans, a plain grey tshirt, ane a leather jacket. But the thing i find odd, is that he has on a baseball hat and dark sunglasses on, inside. "It's fine. i'm just so uncoordinated and clumsy. I'm surprised it took this long for me to do something like this while I'm here" He smiles. It looks familiar. "you just visiting?" "uh. yeah. you could say that" we walk down the hall to the elevator and ride down together. while in the elevator he says "so where are you from?" "um, Texas" "wow a long ways from home aren't we?" "yeah, but the flight wasn't that long" the elevator soon opens and he walks out first and I follow. Before walking off he stops and looks at me "See ya around Texas" "bye" he walks off and I head to the information desk to get information on where all the touristy stuff is. I turn around and see that he is already gone. She helps me map out my day and I am off! I visit everything I possibly could sending pics here and there to my sisters. I went to the statue of liberty, rockefeller center, central park, and then before returning to the hotel, I walk and shop around Times Square for a bit. I go into a nearby pizza place and pick up something to eat. it's about 5 pm. I take the pizza back to the hotel and head up to my room. I open the door and go indide and eat. I'm eating and wathcing a movie when my phone goes off. It's Lilly. I answer it and she talking about her boyfriend... again. He's done something stupid and wants my advice on how to confront him about it. As i'm talking there's a knock on my door I get up and look through the peephole. It's the guy in the sunglasses and hat. "Hey Lil. Hold on one sec." I put the phone on the top of my shoulder and answer the door with a puzzled look on my face. I look at him confused and say "hey?" "hey. sorry I didn't mean to inturrupt you.."  he says motioning his head towards the phone "No its cool" I put the phone back to my ear and say "Hey Lilly. I'm gonna have to call you back" "Ok, bye" "bye." I hang up and look at him. He's just standing there. Just standing. And looking at me. "I'm sorry. i'm not trying to be rude, but did you need something?" I ask sounding a little annoyed cause he's just standing there! he stutters for a second and then says "I was just thinking since you are from Texas that I could show you a great place to eat" Is he seriously asking me out? for real? I've only been in New York for like 24 hourse and there's some random guy who wears sunglasses inside and he's hitting on me? I guess he could read my face cause he said "I'm not trying to ask you out or anything, I just know what it's like being in a place like this and not feeling welcome. New Yorkers aren't very welcoming at first" "Well actually, Taylor Swift welcomed me to New York and it was quite welcoming, and catchy thank you very much" As soon as I said it, I couldn't help but think that was like the WORST joke. Like EVER. He laughs a little. Even his laugh is familiar! Who Is this guy? I continue talking "thanks but i've already got a pizza" he looks a little disappointed. "well what about tomorrow? around 1?" "oh I can't. I'm busy" "Tomorrow at dinner?" Damn! I gotta give him props cause he is really persistent. "Look, i'm not trying to be rude or anything, and normally I wouldn't say this but I'm just a little indifferent about this whole situation. I mean I don't know you and you certainly do not know me and I don't want to get in some random cab with a random guy that I ran into in New York." "so, why don't we get to know each other better. Over dinner tomorrow and we can meet there?" He. Is. Good. I hesitate for a second and then say "It's not a date though" he smiles and says "nope! not a date. Just one guy trying to make a Texas girl feel welcome in this big city" I think about it for a second then say. "fine. I guess if you are going to be so persistent about it then ok. where should I meet you?" he jots down the name of some restaurant and a rough estimate of the location. "meet me there tomorrow around 8?" "ok" "you're not gonna leave me hanging are you?" "weren't you listening earlier? I don't want to be rude" he laughs a little then says "see you tomorrow night Texas" He walks off down the hall and I walk back into my room and finish eating my pizza before I call Lilly back. I don't tell her about what happened. I tell her that someone from Kate Spade was trying to call to confirm the interview tomorrow. I don't want them to worry about me. I finish my pizza then decide to go back out to Times Square, just right around the hotel, and go shopping. I find a cuter top to wear to my interview than the one I brought. Its more of a fashionable shirt, which I thought would be more appropriate. I finish up around 9:30 and go back into the hotel. I go up and get ready for bed. I change into my pj's and turn off the TV and climb into bed. I fall asleep thinking about this mystery guy. How the heck am I supposed to find him once I get to the restaurant tomorrow? I didn't even get his name. And he doesn't know mine. Well tommorow should be very interesting!

*Sorry this one is so boring! I PROMISE the next one will be better!*
