visiting him

Ariana

The nerves fill my body as I get comfortable in my airplane seat, I've always hated flying and now that I don't have Michael here by my side makes it even worse. I'll survive though.

The intercom starts speaking and the muffled voice is heard all throughout the plane.

"Hello, folks. I'm so glad you could join the flight this evening from Los Angelos, California to Washington, D.C. The flight will approximately be 4 hours and 35 minutes so sit tight and enjoy the ride. Thank you for flying with American Airlines."

I lean into my neck pillow which was very overpriced for such a crappy airplane item.

I stare out the window as the takeoff happens and can't help but feel uneasy. Leaving L.A can be a bit scary for me at times, especially since I'm flying alone.

Did I mention that I'm also surprising Michael? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

I told him I would be coming in a couple of days but I wanted to see him extra early. I just missed him that much.

The plane moves faster and faster which takes me off guard until it picks up and we're in the air.

Bye Bye Los Angelos. See you in 2 weeks.

5 hours later

I stand in front of one of the many airport entrances, shifting my feet, while waiting for my only friend here besides Michael.

"Ari!" The cheerful voice shouts from my right direction.

"Bill, my favourite person!" I imitate his excitement.

I wrap my arms around Bill, as he does to me, and give him a big squeeze. Bill is one of my favourite people on this earth and has never failed to make me laugh. I love him.

"You know how much I missed you? Michael is always so serious but you're the only one who can change that. That kid really loves ya."

My love for Michael grows 2 times larger at the sound of Bill's words.

"I missed you too. How has Washington been? Tell me all about it." I ask as he leads me to the limousine.

"Well, we started..."

"Annnd we're here." Bill announces.

"Is it bad to say I'm anxious?"

He shrugs nonchalantly. "No. You haven't seen him in how long? It would be weird if you weren't nervous."

I nod in an understanding manner and pop the car door open. We're parked right in front of the high end hotel and just knowing Michael is up in one of those rooms starts to excite me. I've missed him a lot.

"Wish me luck." I embrace Bill one last time and soon start strolling into the hotel with bags upon bags in my hands.

It's almost like the air is even more luxurious in here than any other hotel. The gold rimmed objects might have been the thing that struck me the most.

After an unknown amount of time passes, my legs take themselves to the check in.

A younger woman stands behind the desk with a kind look on her face.
