The Tourist

Chapter 2

So I’m currently in New York Manhattan I am screaming in my head I keep looking around thinking I’m going to spot Trevor Noah or Charlize Theron so excited Craig has a really cool and clean apartment might as well start being nice to the guy if I want to stick around for awhile rent-free, he told me he’s a bartender downtown and is in his final year at Harvard his parent disowned him so that why he has a part-time job, didn’t ask any further questions. I’m all cleaned up, I’m wearing a black skinny jean with brown sandals and a white crop top to show all the glory I possess I tied my hair in a bun originally I have black afro that I straighten out but I dye my hair gold blond so my roots are showing black now it looks like a wig but that the aim

Craig: “Despasito Despasito mummy”

Vanessa: “Mmmh yeah nah I don’t speak none of that”

Ha ha he laughs

Craig: “You know with a body like yours you’d make my life complete, how about being my girlfriend while you’re in the US?”

Vanessa: “Ha ha funny guy, now let’s go I’m hungry”

We leave the house just 5 minutes’ walk there were some Latino’s we passed they were praising me, all in all they just wanna smash the restaurant we went to looked high class

Good Day I’m Emily table for two?

Yes, please!

I’m currently looking at the menu on a good day I can afford this with my saving’s after I’ve sorted a place to stay and get all the shebang for the house but for now Craig just has to pay, and Emily hasn’t left yet they are busy flirting so I clear my throat

Vanessa: “Mannn am I hungry or what!”

Emily: “Oh yes ofcos I’ll get you your waiter in a minute”

Vanessa: “Gracias mami”

Craig starts busting with laughter

Craig: “Didn’t peg you to know Spanish”

Vanessa: “Oh shush I’m hungry”

Craig: “And grumpy”

Vanessa: “You know it!”

Craig: “So what you having?”

Vanessa: “Mac and cheese with bbq wings and coke”

Craig: “Nice choice, I come here for steak”

Vanessa: “Yeah well I like steak myself but not today”

Lunch was amazing and by the time we got to Craig’s apartment it was a little after 6pm he showed me all the lovely places of Manhattan and as a tourist I really enjoyed myself, Craig is, however, a flirt I’ll give him that I was lying down and going over the day in my head when Craig came to say his goodbye and promised me the next day he’ll take me along
