Maria gulped and looked at her friend.Only a little more time left,intill everything unfolds.Her cellphone beeped signalling a voicemail,she picked it up and dialed the number.
Maria listened to the welcome message and sighed."Hurry up."She muttered,as if the recording could answer.
"Hey Maria,this is Kevin.We are here in New York City,beep me whenever.The front desk knows to give you a key to Nick's room.We set it all up already.See you soon,honey.Bye"
She listened to it and quickly deleted it.Samantha steered the car into the left lane."All these damn taxi cabs."She paused,"Where are we staying again?"
"The Hilton..."She pointed,"Which is right there."
There was no evidence that international superstars were inside the building and Maria breathed a sigh of relief.
Parking the car,Samantha pushed open her door and stood up.Stretching,she turned around to watch New York rush past her.She turned towards Maria and noticed her on the phone."Who are you talking to?"
"Ooh...umm,no one."Maria said,staring at the hotel,"I umm,gotta go."She hung up the phone and grabbed her bag,"Lets go."
Maria led the way to the hotel lobby.She wondered over to the cashiers desk and regestired quickly,keeping an eye on Samantha.
A British woman smiled at her,"You seemed to be already registered..."The lady cleared her throat,"Here you go.The Carter room is 234 and yours is 236."
Maria thanked the lady and walked over to Samantha."Heres your key.Got us seprate rooms so we can relax.Your room is number 234."Samantha lead the way,excited to get a real bed and her own room.
"Here you are."Maria said,"And here I am.I'll see you in a bit."
Samantha sighed and pushed open the hotel room
door.She walked into the room and her breath caught in her throat."What
the fuck?"She felt like screaming.She felt like running.But she didn't.She
stood there,staring.Staring at Nick,sleeping on the bed.
