"Yuh must do better eno Mel, big big hotel yuh come a thief things" I said to my bestfriend while I packed the rest of my clothes into my suitcase. "Mi pay mi money so mi a go get mi money's worth" she said, putting the straightening comb she stole in her suitcase. It is almost tradition for a Jamaican to acquire all the tangible resources a hotel provides whenever they go on vacations. I've fallen gulity of this act but Mel took it to an extreme level.
We were on a 1 week vacation at a resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. My besfriend, Melanie, suggested it since we've been working our asses off the pass few months. I needed to 'touch grass' and experienced a brand new air before I started a new chapter in my career. As a fashion stylist based in Jamaica, I have to be styling outfits, doing closet auditing, become a personal shopper for my clients and organizing moodboards and catalogs.
Wuk cya done.
I have also had a vast number of clients from all over the world, I've participated in fashion shows, both internationally and locally, also local celebrites, family and friends have experienced my talents.

"Nah lie, trip angle itself" she exhales. "We need another vacation soon soon" she added. "We just got back from one missy, settle yuh dirt" I counted.
Mel's boyfriend, Daniel, he's the one picking us up from the airport.
The snacks they gave out on the plane barely did anything for me so I had to stop by Island Grill to get something filling.

"I'll call you later babe" Mel shouted as I walked towards my apartment door.
I carefully retrived my keys before opening the door.
As I cracked the door, an excited bunny jumped towards me.
I was a bunny lover.
I got him a few months after graduating university.

"Hey Boba baby, did you miss mommy?" I said in a tone we use and talk to babies.
His food containers were almost empty. I did a quick refill before showering.

Today is Friday so I decided to just take the rest of the week.
I got up early so I could unpack my stuffs.
"But wait deh"
My waist was squeezing from a sweatpants that usually fitted me perfectly. The vacay must've given me a few extra pounds.
I texted Melanie.
"You free today?"
"Just groccery shopping and some mini errands, wassup?"
