Tomeka Moore
I shifted in my seat trying to get comfortable as Mica pushed me. "Young, wake up" she called me. I mumble. "I should be the one mumbling since i ain't get no sleep and yo ass was sleep the WHOLE time." she says. I turn over to her and look at her smiling as i laid back in the seat that i had reclined back. "We here?" I ask a little excited a little nervous. "Yesss" she says getting to hype. I sit up looking around to see where we are.
"Mica, please tell me where in the hell we are." i say to her calmly as i look at the convience store in front of us. "Well, a niggaa was hungry. " she says all casual like then turns off the car to go in the store. I shake my head and get out the car. "Come on." i say and we walk in the store to get some food. We both file in and find a couple of people standing in line. "Excuse me" one of the customers says trying to get the cashiers attention. He turned around from the TV and looked at her hard.
"What ma'am?" he says rudely. She looks at him in disgust. "Nevermind! I'll go else where with my money" she says before leaving everything on the counter and walking out to her car then pulling off. The cashier doesn't seem to mind. I know because he just does his little Kanye shrug and goes back to watching TV not even acknowledging the person next in line.
I shake my head at his rudeness along with Mica and continue walking to get some chips and something to drink. I start to pick up a Gatorade when Mica slaps my hand causing me to drop it and wags her finger in my face. "NOT IN MY HOUSE." she says quoting the old guy in the commercial. I laugh and start to pick up the drink. "Im serious though. You are drinking for two" She says then hands me a water. "Pretend this is now you're "Purple drank"" she says making me laugh.
We walk up the the cash register. "Excus- " "What now?!" the cashier snaps at us before turning around. As soon as he does his whole demeanor changes. "I'm sorry shorty." he says locking eyes with me then licking his lips. I roll my eyes. This nigga needa stop. He slowly rings us up and is looking up constantly smiling at me. "That will be 5.43" He says winking at me. I roll my eyes and start to pull my money out. "Nah shorty, you don't even have to pay. I got it. " he says smiling. "No. I'm still going to pay" I say laying out my money for him. I guess he doesnt like that because he starts going off.
"I said i got it." he snaps and i shake my head leave the money then walk out almost forgettng Mica. "Dude was trippy." She says. I nod my head yes as we get in the car. "Where you say Angel go to school?" Mica asks me changing the subject. "Umm.. " i try to think of the name. "You dont know?" she asks. "Its ... fort valley state..." i say pretty sure of myself. "Mk." she picks up her phone and does something then she picks up her GPS and types in another destination.
Soon we were back on the road following what the GPS spat out at us. "Where we going?" i ask cautiously. "chillll. We are going to a hotel " she says and i feel the nerves at ease. "ohh iight. " i say as turn the music up and we keep driving until we are at the Hotel. "Loews Atlanta Hotel " i say reading the hotel name. "It looks niceeee" i say to her and she nods. We park then walk inside our bags still outside in the car. We walk over to the lobby counter. "Hello, Im Thomas Welcome to Loews Atlanta Hotel. How may i be at your service?" A Caucasian male asks us in his nicest voice possible with a big smile making me think he was a little sweet.
"Hi, I'm Tomeka Moore and i would like to book two rooms for me and my friend here. " i say to him in my sweetest voice possible. "Why certainly! Do you know how long you will be staying?" the man i now know as Thomas asks. "No sir." I say. " Ok well. Let me just say that it will be 235 a night." he says. I nod "ok" i say as he nods back and takes Mica and I's information. This place was too fancy but hey i wasnt complaining.
"Here you go. " Thomas says handing us our key. "Enjoy your stay at the Loews Atlanta Hotel" he says as we walk away. We walk to the car and grab our suit cases and head back inside to go get settled in. As we make our way through the hotel i can now see the many details put in a little square tile and it wasn't just one. It was many tiles that were designed so fine.
We finally make it to our rooms, which were right beside each other when i open the door i was not prepared for the big window over looking the city of Atlanta. I could see everything from buildings to cars to air planes and i was just in awe as i stood there. Mica came in behind me, her facial expression holding the same awed look. "Damn girl, your room is hella nice." she says to me. "yes it is." i say back to her looking around the room at the walls that held modern art so nicely. My living area was HUGE. It was grey with a modern feel. It made me feel like i was home. It was warm and welcoming with the family table right beside the kitchen.
I walked through the doors of my bed room and almost fell out looking at that King sized bed that was decorated so nicely with the frame being dark brown and the comforter being a beige to match the walls with the pillows being white. On top of the pillows were accessory pillow which were like a redish pink color. Beside my bed was a brown chair that sat close to the window so i could relax and enjoy my view of Atlanta life.
I walked into my bathroom and almost threw a fit because of the huge walk in space. I had two sinks with a big mirror the walls being beige and dark brown and art work on the walls. My shower.... My shower was the only thing that really got to me besides my bed. It was a double door walk in shower that when you stepped out had a big vent next to it. So when you walked out there was no need for a towel. Just step on the vent and it would air dry you. I looked at the dial beside it and noticed that it had hot air. I silently thanked God for that. Nobody is fond of sickness.
"Meka !" Mica screamed causing me to run out the bathroom and back into the living room where she was. "Wassup?" i say to her. "I'm going to check out my living space." she says as she heads towards the door. "Hold up" i tell her before i give her the extra key to my room and she gives me a key to hers. "Iight ill holla at you in a few. Im going to go catch some Z's." she says to me as she walks out and i nod.
As soon as she walks out I run and jump in my bed and turn the TV on. "Tonight is the big game Lina. Fort Valley against the University of Georgia." one news caster says to the other and i freeze. "Yes Marco. Hopefully they will let Angel Collins play tonight." Lina says to Marco. "From what i understand he is indeed going to play" Marco says. "We will see how this turns out " Marco continues. "BE AT THE GAME TONIGHT AT 7!" Lina says.
I lean over and look at the clock... its not 4:30. I get up and get redressed after i take a shower. Can't be looking like a bum when i go to this game. I will wait at least until 6:00 to wake Mica up. I set my alarm clock. It was time for a nap until then.
