Girls’ Trip

Alita brimmed with joy. It was early June. Their plane had just landed at the Newark International Airport. And now she and her sisters were traveling in a huge van that was carrying them over the bridge to Manhattan.

Shade, who’d been convinced by Alita to join her on the trip, sat next to her in the back row where they were surrounded by an abundance of luggage. Yet the crowded space felt cozy and romantic.

He placed his arm around her shoulders, and they shared a juicy kiss. Alita stuck her tongue way down his throat and laughed hysterically at the same time.

“How you feeling, woman?” he asked after he came up for air.

“Like I’m in a damned dream. Like I’m a Cinderella who just escaped from her evil stepmother.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“It’s all good, as long as this taxi won’t turn into a pumpkin,” she replied.

“I’ll do my best to keep that from happening.”

“Will you?” she asked as she searched his eyes. He nodded and seemed quite serious. Alita trembled with happiness deep on the inside.

“Then I guess it’s okay to say that some dreams do come true. Because if someone would have told me that I’d ever find my ass in the Big Apple, I would have accused them of lying through their crooked-ass teeth.”

The sounds of the city included honking car horns, big trucks with their yellow flashers popping on and off as the drivers set about to deliver packages and goods to area businesses. Every time they turned a corner, Alita saw and noticed things she’d never seen before. From stretch limos fighting traffic to dozens of school children surrounded by teachers who were obviously enjoying a pedestrian field trip. Street vendors hawking food, artwork, key chains, and t-shirts.

“Shade, on the real? This is something I’ve only seen on TV or in that movie New Jack City, shit like that.”

Shade threw back his head and laughed. “There are many good things in life that’s just waiting for us to enjoy. You see, Alita, you’ve been like a lot of other people. Too scared to step outside the house, too caught up in work and family drama. Making a lot of excuses when really there is no excuse. You just got to get out here and live life, no matter what happens.”

“I know that’s right.”

Alita quieted down and watched in awe as they viewed the magnificent Manhattan skyline. Traffic was brutal as hundreds of cars were trying to make their way into the city.

It took almost an hour for them to reach their hotel, which was located in Times Square.

Once the couple checked into their room, Alita grabbed Shade by the hand and led him straight out of the door, down the hall where they waited a while to board the elevator.

“Let’s roll,” she told him. “Forget my sisters. I called Coco to see what’s up. Can you believe they all hanging out in her bathroom trying to get their lace fronts and makeup straight? I ain’t got time for all that.
