Christabella's POV
We landed in New York at exactly 7pm. The flight lasted 8 hours. That has been longest 8 hours of my life so far because I knew their were a few things I needed to understand when I got back to London. The rest of the trip was boring because Chris was so engrossed in his work after our conversation. I didn't say a word to him because I was so mad at him for not allowing me to stay with the other attendants. The only thing that saved me from boredom was my phone because I was able to watch some K-drama movies on Netflix . I didn't even realize that I had slept off. I woke up to meet myself on a king size bed in a luxurious but simple room
The first thing I did was to check if I still had my clothes on cause you never can tell. I walked out of the room to discover that Chris was still so engrossed with his laptop. He was still working I guess. I apologized for sleeping off when I was supposed to be keeping him company.
We got logged into a 5 star hotel and surprisingly we all had a room to ourselves. Talk about working with Hampson Airlines . I discovered that their were four other flight attendants, Nadia, Alexia , Liam and Lillian. I was more than happy to see my friends, I knew the trip was going to be superb even if it's for a short while. We all went to our rooms to freshen up because we had plans to visit some interesting spots in the city. Nadia graduated from NYU so we were sure that we would have fun because she'll be our tour guard. Her studying Tourism in school was an added advantage for us. We all agreed to meet at the lobby at exactly 8pm.
The first thing we did was to have dinner at the hotel restaurant before heading out. The two pilots Desmond and Princely decided to join us in our little adventure. Nadia had listed out the names of places she would want us to see. She had already made a call to one of her friends to let us use her car.
The first place we decided to go was Empire State Building . This is the tallest building have ever seen in my entire life. It had one hundred and two stories. It is such an amazing view. We booked tickets our tickets and got into the elevator. Nadia advised us to head up to the 82nd floor and 102nd floor. Both views are incredibly stunning and it gave us the opportunity to see all the city's major landmarks.
Empire State Building
We spent about 30 minutes at the Empire State Building taking pictures. We all took more than enough pictures. Our next stop was at Times Square. Nadia told us that if we wanted to experience some of the fun stuff in New York that we must not miss out on what they call the crossroads of the worlds". There are Huge billboards, masses of people, peoples in costumes who look like Spider-Man or Mickey Mouse. On Times Square there was so much to see. Especially during the night, this place has its own magic and I loved it. We spent about 30 minutes at Times Square before heading to a Broadway show.
The show lasted for about two hours so we decided to go to Lower East Side Bar and Restaurant. We ordered for drinks and danced the night away before heading back to our hotel rooms .
I never knew it was really fun to have more than one friend. I didn't make friends when I was in school because I wanted to focus more on my studies. Thank God I had Bianca as a friend. She made my teenage years less boring. We've not really had the chance to hang out since my mum's surgery but we've been communicating really well on phone especially now that she's going to be a Mum. I remember how scared she was when she found out that she was pregnant because she taught she was going to loose her husband but to her greatest surprise her husband took the news really well. He was really happy. Am super excited to Bianca's son . She will be due for delivery in a month and have organized a surprise baby shower for her. Her husband and I have been planning this surprise for 2 months now. We have sent out the invitation to the people we wanted at the party. The party is meant to hold this weekend and my friend is totally clueless about it. Am off for the rest of the week so that'll will give me to opportunity to supervise everything we've put in place so far. I remember the first time I helped Bianca in planning was 2015 when she was preparing for 2015 gala. Her husband got invited for the event so he asked her to go with him. I remember I was only 16. It's funny how I can't remember celebrating my 17th birthday and I can't remember Bianca going to the gala or gusting me about it. Everything Chris said is starting to add up. How did I end up in 2015 gala instead of Bianca or did we go to the event together? How come I can't remember anything. I knew right there that I needed to talk to Bianca. I picked up my phone to call her. It rang several but there was no response so I knew the next person I could talk to was my mum so I called her but no response. I called my brothers but there was no response either so I decided to go to Chris. I needed someone that can help me in solving this puzzle.
