As they entered the mall Angel was moving her eyes from different things as if she was a toddler in a candy store. She was exited as hell.
"Omg look at that.... Look over there.... OMG What store is that... Look at the fountain." She was talking very fast.
"Damn Ma, calm down." Domo laughed" Where you wanna go first?"
"The fountain baby, we gotta make a wish before we do ANYTHING."
"Iight ma." Domo pulled out a bright Shiny Quarter as they walked up to the fountain preparing to make a wish. "You ready."
Angel closed her eyes tightly, so Domo followed.
"I wish We will ALWAYS Be together, And NEVER Break up!" They BOTH WISHED THE SAME EXACT THING! Domo threw in the quarter and grabbed Angel. They kissed passionately for a minute.
"Come on Ma, lets shop." They went to MULTIPLE Nothing and shoe stores. They both had Bags on top of Bags. They decided to go into one more store.
"Iight, this the last one Ma, Yo bags getting heavy." Domo said playfully.
"Shut up you got as much stuff as me!" Angel gently slapped her on the arm.
And instantly saw a pair of jeans she HAD to get.
"Go try them On Ma."
"Okay, Hold this." Angel gave Domo her stuff. As Angel went into the dressing room to try on the jeans, a notification came to Angel's phone. Domo picked it up and looked. It was a text message from Deyvone. She clicked it to find that Angel and Deyvone have been conversating.
Angel - Im srry about what happened at the bar.
Deyvone - Thts not the 1st time you had somebody jump on me.
Angel - I Didnt have her jump on you. I said im sorry.
Deyvone - Iight baby
Angel - Dont call me that
Deyvone - So you love this bitch, You really dnt love me nomore?
Angel - I do love you, But i love her too!
Deyvone - Who You love more?
Angel - Why?
Deyvone - WHO?
Angel - You!
Deyvone - So cme bck 2 me.
Angel never responded. Domo's heart was shattered. He turned her phone off and didn't say anything about it.
"How it look?" Angel said knocking Domo out her thoughts.
"You look wonderful as always baby."
"Thank Youu!!"
They got the jeans and a few other items and by the time they left the mall Both theirs hands were stuffed with bags.
"Damn Ma, all this shopping got me hungry as a bitch."
"Can you call and tell them to bring the car? We can put the bags in the car then go to one of these restaurants."
"Orrrrrr, we could just tell them to take the bags back to the house." Domo said in a duhh type of tone.
"Haha, shut up punk."
After they put the bags in the car and sent it back to the house they went to Macascays to eat.
"What you getting Ma?"
"Hmmm, i think i want the crab leg platter."
"Yeah that looks good. Imma get it too. What you want to drink?"
"Is it too early for alcohol?"
"Baby, this is a vacation, at that THE BAHAMAS, its never a wrong time to drink."
Angel giggled. "Okay i want the island splash."
They went to the counter. "Can i have two Crab leg platter, an Island Splash and a Coke and brandy."
"Sure, Is this for here or to go?"
"For here."
"Okay your total is $54.95."
Domo gave her The money, and they went to take a seat.
"The Bahamas don't play." Angel said referring to how much the food costed.
"Its all cool Ma."
They got comfortable in a booth sitting across from each other. Angel's phone vibrated and she started texting.
"Who..." The cashier brought out their food.
"Wow that was fast." Angel said turning off her phone and putting it in her pocket. Domo disregarded the question she was about to ask and grabbed the food. They dug in. Half way through their food they had both been on their third drink. Domo was drinking so much because of her anticipation on how many times Angel would be in her phone. And Angel was drinking so much because, well she was on vacation. Domo couldn't hold her tongue anymore.
"Ma," She said wiping her mouth. "You been in that phone the whole time we been here. You on Vacation. That means leave all that bullshit at home. We in the BAHAMAS, not Arizona." Angel didn't realize it but she has been in her phone alot. And she was only texting one person.
"Here." Angel powered off her phone and gave it to Domo. "Just keep it in your pocket that way i wont be on it." Angel smiled. Domo still didn't say anything about Deyvone. But she was eager to find out what they where talking about. By the time they where done eating they were drunk.
"Whereee... we.. going n-now?" Angels asked.
"You tryna get some head from a girl for the first time on the Lake in the Bahamas?" Domo said it so nonchalantly. Angel gasped and that made Domo crack up.
"Come on Ma, We been together for three months, and talking for four yet we still aint do nothing." she laughed. "How You gone have a girlfriend but not want her to please you?"
"I Dunno, i just never d-did nothing with a girl." Angel said so innocently. Domo grabbed her hand.
"Come on." Domo led her to a secluded place on the beach, but it was already set up so pretty. Angel couldn't believe her eyes. There was rose pellets with floor lights leading to A little Cabana where there where pillows and blankets laid out. Next to the blanket was a bottle of champagne, Strawberries, and a note. 'You been my world since the day i first met you.'
Angel had tears in her eyes.
"Just sit down baby. You aint gotta worry about nothing tonight."
Angel looked out onto the water as the sun began to set. As Domo began to pour the glasses Angel thought about how her life used to be.
"Here Baby, a toast, to NEW beginnings." They toasted and sipped the champagne.
"Mmm, this is good." Angel said licking her lips.
"Here, Try these." Domo picked up a strawberry and fed it to Angel.
"Oh my god i never had strawberries this sweet and juicy before."
"Girl, i know, Everything in the Bahamas is better."
"I can tell." Domo scooted over to get closer to Angel.
"Baby?"
"Yah?"
"You trust me?" Angel looked to the ground. She nodded her head.
"Let me hear you say it baby. Look at me."
Angel looked Domo in her eyes. "I trust you baby."
"Come here."
Angel had sex with a girl for the first time that night. It was a night she would never forget.
