That’s when I spotted Nick, AJ, and Brian sitting in front of the television placed in the hotel room we were staying at. They were playing somekind of video game. I looked at the clock that was sitting on the night stand. It was 7:02 exactly.
My gosh! I know they like playing video games, but at 7:00 in the morning! They’re crazy!
Nick looked up noticing I had woken. “It’s about time!” he said jokingly.
“Hey! This is like the earliest I’ve gotten up in a LONG time!”
“Really? We’re usually always up at the crack of dawn, if not earlier.”
“Geez! I couldn’t handle it! So.... where are we anyways?” I asked as I looked around the very nice hotel room.
“Oh. We’re at the Mariott Griffin Gate Resort, not too far from Lexington!”
“This place is nice!” I exclaimed.
“Oh, this is nothing! You’ve gotta see this place! Would you like me to give you a tour?” Nick’s eyes were still glued to the screen. I took him up on the offer anyways.
“Yeah. I’d like that but could you show me where the restroom’s at? I think I’m gonna take a quick shower first.”
“Oh, sure.” Nick said standing up. He came near me and opened the door that connected to Kevin and Howie’s room who were both still asleep. “You see that door right there?” He asked pointing his finger. I nodded. “You go through there and there’s this HUGE tub, and the shower’s just to the right of it.”
“Thanks. Oh, um.. I didn’t exactly bring many clothes with me.. do you think we can go shopping a little later?”
“Sure! Wait a sec..” He went over to his suitcase and brought over some clothes. “Here you go. You can wear something out of here until we go shopping, if you want.”
“Thanks,” I replied again as I made my way through the door, into the bathroom.
I grabbed a towel and headed for the shower.
This bathroom is huge! This place was just so gigantic!
Once I got out of the shower I smelled like.. like kiwi! I had tried the new Bath and Body shower gel. Mmm....it smelled heavenly! Kiwi. Yum!
The smell made me realize how hungry I actually was.
I changed into some of Nick’s clothes which inclueded a long-sleeved t-shirt of his, and a pair of baggy- but very comfortable jogging pants. I looked under the sink to see what all I had to work with for my hair.
Oh my goodness! Look at all of this!
Under the sink was a bunch of stuff! I mean there were samples of everthing! Hairspray, soap, shampoo, a blow-dryer, deodorant, body lotion, tissues... anything you needed was in here! To my surprise I even found a curling iron! I got to work.
It took about 10 minutes to get my hair completely dry. Once it was I began to curl it. I left it down, turned the curling iron off, and headed back to where Nick and the fellas were still playing their game.
Kevin, and Howie had come in by now and had joined them. “Oh so you two finally decided to join us, huh?” I walked in and placed my clothes from the day before into the laundry basket.
“Hey, Mandy.”
Kevin leaned over to give me a hug. “It’s nice to see you’ve decided to stay with us another day.”
“Aww. Thanks Kev.”
Nick looked up at me, “You look kind of different like that. With your hair down, I mean.”
“Really? Is..is that a bad thing?” I questioned.
“Oh, no! I.. I like it.. a lot.”
“Ugh, thanks!” I paused. Switching the subject, “So.... have you guys eaten yet?” I asked.
“Nope!” they all said in unison.
“Good! I was afraid I’d have to eat alone!”
“Nah! We’ll always keep you company,” said Nick flashing that gorgeous smile of his.
“Well then what do you say we all head down for breakfast? I’m starvin’!”
“Sounds good to me,” replied Brian.
They finished their game in a hurry, and we all headed downstairs.
The breakfast bar was where we loaded up our plates as much as we could and then sat down.
“Yum! These eggs are delicious!” I said as I dug in.
“Yes they are!” agreed Brian whole heartedly.
I finished my last bite and Nick asked me if I was ready for that tour. I said I was, and he led me outside. That’s when the tour began.
