JUST IN TIME part 2
A week into our new jobs and already we were having so much fun. Why we didnt get jobs here before is beyond me, and I tell you unless I die or they fire me, Im not going any where. Raquel's job looks fun tome, and she says it is too. She stands behind a desk allday talking to people..thats one of her more distinct qualities. All day she sees peoople coming from or going to Houston, San Deigo, Japan or anywhere in the world, Me, I walk around taking things like candy and flower or magazines to the gift shops through out the airport. I love it, Cause there is this one really really cute guy who works at "Bull Bonanza". Man I swear he could double as a model or something. I guess just one of the perks of being errand girl.
Today for some reason there is a lot of security in the airport. More than usual I here from Tina. She says that their are some really important people flying in around 3:00pm and that they are expecting a rather large group of well wisher to be here. What and airport that averages 250,000 people a day is worried a few peolpe coming off a plane are going to get hurt..whatever. I figured who everit wasmust be really special to beef up the place with more guards than some football games Ive seen. I mentioned that to Raquel about the v.i.ps coming in and we both figured to just stay out of the way. Who ever it is eventually has to come back sometime, so we'll see them then. I agreed with her, although Im kinda curious now.
Around 1:30 a group of young girls come into the airport and asked me where gate C2 was. So I told them, thinking that they were there to meet there parents or someone. That s until a security guard undercover came over to me and pulled me a side/ I guess he over heard the girls talking to me because he told me not to do that again. Atleast not for the rest of the day. I looked a little weird, because he then told me that gate C2 was where the important people were coming in at. Opps..my bad. I still dont see the big deal with these people. Several more times through out the hour many people, maily girls, kept going bye me in groupsof like four or five. Some asking for the gate, and me acting dumb, telling them that i just started and I dont know. Mr. Dinetti said that Raquel and I could take our lunches around 2:45, and I was getting really anxioustoseewho wascoming off this plane. Tina told me a way I could get over there and see but I dont think I will, to many people already were crowding the sitting area, iy would be damn near impossible.
Around 3:30 we were done eating luch when we noticed that the groups of girls were leaving..saying stuff like "liers"and "what a hox". I wonder what happened. The girls that first stopped me saw me and told me that I no one got off the plane except some little old chinese people with cameras.. tourists..they are every where i tell ya. She said that who ever had told her that The Backstreet Boys were flying in today lied. Oh my god!!! I couldnt believe she had said that! Wow, tha BSB were coming here! But were thos ethe important people on the palne, or was it the chinese people. I guess Ill have to ask Tina when I got back from lunch. At 3:45 we punched back in. Raquel went in her direction and me in on my way to Tinas booth.
When I got there she was talking to an old lady about her lugguage getting lost. Im beginning to think that this happens alot...or people dont know what their stuff looks like and it just keeps going around and around on the conveyer belt. Tina looked over her shoulder at me, gave me a freindly wave, and heldupa finger saying one minute. She then gave the oh-so-famous phone number to the lady and sent her on her way.
"So, did you see the famous people, or were ya pushed aside by all the girls?" She asked me while looking over my shoulder.
"Nope, I didnt go. But some girls said that chinese tourists came off," trying tolead up to the real point "nut they said it was SUPOSE to be The Backstreet Boys. Is that true?" I asked curiously.
"The Backstreet Boys? Oh silly no no..they wouldnt come here by plane, they have tour buses remeber"
"Yeah, but who is all the securty for then?"
"Oh them..they were hear because the "chinese tourist" they saw, is the president of Japan."
"Ahhh okay. got ya. Well," I said, feeling really stupid right then "I have to go deliever some more stuff,a nd Ill be back arond in a Hour or so, k"
"Yep, see ya later!" she yelled as I walked away.
"Bye!"
Could those girls have been told wrong? Yeah probably, I heard the guys manager does that some time to keep people fooled about the real time they are coming in, but ina was right abut the tour bus.
Around 4:30 I stopped by to see wat Raquel was upto, and she said for me to look for this one fine guy wearing a leather jacket and a black n white shirt on, walking around. I figured she was talking about "Andy" the guy in the Bulls shop, so i said I would. We agreed to meet around 7:00 on the car on level 3.. the Blackhawks level.. and I left heading twords Mexican Feista. When I finished giving them their order of rolaids I started on my way to Nigels when I spotted him.
He was so fine, that is if this is the same guys she was talking about. He was not to tall, maybe about my height, which is 5'6 and had hair to his shoulders, if not a little longer and was a little tan for this time of year, but I think he was white..not sure. Anyways, he was talking to one of the janitors about something when the guy he was talking to pointed at me. The guy then came twords me, slowly at first, but then a little fast, until he stopped. He looked reqally familur, but I couldnt place his face to a name for the life of me. He just stood there and looked at me funny, then motioned for me to come to him. So I did. As I got closer I then realized who it was. I was walking twords Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys, and he need my help. I thought I was going to faint right there.
