1| A Real G's Birthday

Amina

"Girl..we're about to miss our flight if you don't get to steppin on which outfits you finna bring", my best friend Mariah shouted from across the room.

I rolled my eyes and continued looking for my favorite two piece. Mariah and I were going to LA with a bunch of other friends for 3 weeks to celebrate my birthday and I waited for the last minute to start packing my things, per usual. I sighed and stopped searching to stare at the piles of clothes surrounding me, "I deadass have no clue how many clothes I should bring".

"Uhhh... it's LA? As in Los Angeles, California? Girl just ditch clothes in general, Lord knows you have the body to be pullin California jawns like that anyway" Mariah laughed, finally throwing me my favorite MintSwim bikini.

I couldn't help but giggle at her words. This trip was going to be one hell of a ride because I know for damn sure I'll be getting into so much trouble with California men.

It's not that I was dick deprived- oh, never that,  but I was looking for a change if you know what I mean.

Fucking the same New York niggas gets tiring after a while, especially when I have to see all of them every weekday morning at work.

I work at Dubois Entertainment , a public relations firm on 42 Ave where I'm in charge of promoting all types of businesses, clubs and agencies. Naturally the job comes with the introduction of some of the most finest men in the world, so who am I to not take advantage of such a rewarding aspect? The men I sleep with are men I know could boost my reputation...I'm calculated about this shit.

The more uh- I guess you could say persuasive, I am with my business offers, the better.

Plus, its not like I was ready to settle down anyway, I'm so focused on moving up in my company right now I don't have time sticking with anyone. Today I turned 22, shit I'm young as hell and hot as fuck, of course I'm playing the field. Theres no man in this world amazing enough to hold me down; who else is gonna be there for me but me?

"Okay, that's it. I'm finally done packing I swear", I told Mariah, throwing my bikini in and a few other clothes before zipping up my final suitcase.

"Finally bitch, you was taking fiveEVER"

"You really dumb as fuck, you know that?" I snorted. "Anyways, are you sure we have everything?"

"Uh hold on girl lemme check". Mariah paused for a while looking down before grabbing her ass in one hand and her boob in the other, "Ass and titties on deck haaaaa", she exclaimed sticking out her tongue.

I couldn't help but burst out in laughter, "Yo, Cali really not ready for us!"

"Nigga, you really not tryna come out with us tonight?" my best friend Dom asked me for the hundredth time.

I sucked my teeth before answering, "Maann, how many times I gotta tell you no? I'm way too tired for that club shit now and I just recovered from that hangover I got yesterday.. y'all niggas be tryna take me everywhere."

"Damn, you get cast in one show with Belala Thongs and you think you too Hollywood to hang out with your boys anymore..thats brazy."

I rolled my eyes at the crowd of laughter that followed after Dom's comment. My friends really are the stupidest people on this planet.
