Chapter 3: New York

I'm off one day this week, so I must get my hair done, my nails done, my eyebrows done, and just everything done that I need to. The main stuff that I'm worried about is my face and body. I must look my best and as I read on the internet, "talent agencies look for the most prominent facial features." I know I have it, I must make them see that I have it.

THE MORNING I LEAVE:

This is so exciting, I'm finally going to see New York! My flight leaves at 5 a.m. It is now 4 a.m. and Leila should be here soon. I'm getting so anxious, but edgy at times. I'm going to be in the "BIG APPLE' soon! Leila arrived, she texted me telling me that she is here, I quietly went downstairs, "I didn't want to wake my parents" and flew outside. I'm more anxious than ever now!

I jumped inside Leila's car, tossed my small bag in the back seat, and said, "Let's go! I'm ready to see the BIG Apple." Leila laughs and says, "damn girl, you must be excited about this tip. Then she mumbled, "maybe I'll just stay with you and say, f**k this place and find something in NY. I want to make something of myself too." I told her, "the sky's the limit!" Then we drove off.

On our way to the airport, I kept thinking in my head, "I should have been born into a royal family." I'm not being selfish, but that's just how I feel. I've always felt glamorous and dressed a certain way, everything had to be perfect for me or I'd get pissed off until I made it perfect.

After a half-hour of driving, we arrived at the airport. While grabbing my bag from the back seat, Leila said, "Ugh...I want to go with you so bad." I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'd love for you to come, but you don't have a plane ticket." She sighed and said, "I know. Maybe I'll look for a flight when I get home!"

Looking at her again, I said, "I'm not trying to rush, but I'm gonna miss my flight. Text me soon." Then I ran off to the airport.

I boarded the flight, just in time, thank god I made it. The flight should only take a few hours to arrive in New York. Once it arrives, I'll need to get a cab to take me to my hotel. Since it's so early in the morning, I'm going to take a nap on the plane and when I wake up, we should be in NY.

There is no way I can sleep, I'm way too excited to get to NY. As I stood up from my seat to go to the restroom, the plane jerked a bit and so did I. But I must go back to the restroom, so I walked down the aisle, my seat was in front of the plane when I went to the back of the plane, the plane jerked again and so did I. I almost fell into the lap of the most handsome man that I'd ever seen before. I looked at him and said, "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." He looked at me and replied, "Don't worry about it, it happens." I started to blush, my cheeks were probably so red by this time, not because I almost fell into his lap, but because of how gorgeous he is. What is a man of his caliber doing in the last seat on the plane? I thought to myself.

I suddenly walked back to the restroom, which was so embarrassing to me. The only thing that was going through my mind was, "OMG, this man is so sexy, he's dressed like he's some rich dude, and just everything about him is perfect, and I gotta almost fall on him!"

"Oh well, what can I do about it now?" I shrugged my shoulders.

When I walked passed him to get back to my seat, I glimpsed at him and noticed that he picked his head up from reading some type of magazine and glanced at me. I thought, "Oh my, he probably thinks I'm trying to hit on him." So I walked quickly back to my seat.

When this plane lands, I'm not even going to rush to get off, I'm actually going to wait until that dude gets off first.

The pilot just made his announcement, "Flight attendants, prepare for landing, please. Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing."

Now the fun begins! I can't wait to see Manhattan. I'm sure it's beautiful.

Once we landed, the flight attendants said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New York, the time is 8 a.m. and the temperature is 80 degrees. Please remain seated until your captain turns off the fasten seat belt sign. This will indicate that it is safe to depart the plane." As soon as that sign turned off, people started to stand up and leave the plane. I waited until the very last to leave.

The cab that is picking me up to take me to the airport isn't here yet, so I'm going to grab a snack and wait. As I'm ordering a sausage biscuit and hash browns with coffee, I felt a tap on my shoulders. I quickly turned around and saw that it was that dude I almost fell into. I became so embarrassed again, thinking "OMG, what does he want?"

He said, "I just wanted to tell you that you have great facial features and you're a beautiful woman!"

All I could do was stand there, still. Then I said, "Thank you!" I grabbed my food and went to sit down and waited for my cab. Once my cab finally arrived, I walked outside and hopped in. While sitting in the back seat, I noticed that the dude was getting into a limo! I instantly thought, "WOW, this dude must have money."
