XLIII: The Trip

   Mayari Sekani Thompson

"May may. You sure you have everything honey?" My momma ask me rubbing her eye in her baby pink satin robe. It was currently six am. And here I was doing my last minute round around my room to make sure I have everything. While Messiah came and grabbed the suitcase and bag I had by the door.

"Yesssss I think so. Are you gonna be okay here?" I asked walking out my room turning off the light and to the front door.

"Yes honey I will be fine and I will be at Raymond's house for a few days while you're gone. You have fun." I smile at her and give her long and drawn out hug. Raymond is my mom's lil rich boyfriend. He got money, money. So I give one check mark for having money at least. When I get back I will be meeting him and his kids though.

I give her a kiss on the cheek and she smiles at me when I let go. "Are you sure mama? Make sure your phone stays charged and answer when I call you. I don't care if you with that dude either." I say and she rolls her eyes lightly smacking my arm.

"Girl don't tell me what to do. You the mama or me? Imma make sure I answer every call and text and you better do the same beautiful. I love you now go have fun. And give me a grandbaby!" Now she tripping.

"Uh no. But I will most definitely have fun! I love you too." We hug one more time and I finally walk out and head for Messiah's car.

Lord please let us have a good time, Amen.

On the plane was everyone Siah, Tj, Alyssa, Aoi, the twins, Melvin, and Cinco. All of us taking a seat at the table or sitting on the couches.

Messiah comes out the bathroom and sit nexts to me. The past month Siah has become the guy I knew he was before. Sweet, talkative, and comfortable with me. We are normally on the phone at night and text throughout the day. Occasionally i've stayed the night but it wasn't anything crazy, very pg-13.

He sits down next to me on one of the cream colored couches and puts his arm behind my head. "You like it?" He leans in closer to me, whispering in my ear. I turn my head towards him and smile, "Yes of course, I love it. Thank you for doing all of this for me. I really couldn't have asked for more." He laughs.

"This is just the plane beautiful. Wait until we get there." I hope he didn't do the most.

"Yeahhhh and we got you gifts too!! It's like Christmas but just for our special girl Mayari." Aoi says getting up to dance and the plane moves to the right side and she falls over.

"That's what you get girl sit yo ass down." Jaylen says helping her up by her arm, he wraps his arm around her and she just sits there.

"You okay Jamor?" Melvin asks looking a little worried about him. Jamor is not too good with flying which made him reluctant in coming but he felt like he needed too for me. So here he was with a brown paper bag to his mouth.

Jamor just glances at Vinny then everyone else and nods.

"Shots?" Cinco questions.

"Alcoholic?" I retort.

"You lucky it's your birthday this whole week girl. Now here. And you need one too." He says handing both Messiah and I a shot of d'usse. When everyone gets shots and I get my chaser because there is no way I am gonna take a straight shot. We cheers and take it.

"I'm gonna go lay down." I annouce.

"No wayyyy my sister-in-law tapping out after one shottt!" Vinny says and I flick him off making my way to the back of the plane and inside the small room. It is just a bed with a little bit of walking space in front of the bed. A few seconds later Messiah knocks a few times before I tell him to come in.
