I’m in the middle of my beauty sleep and I hear my ringtone Pretty Hurts by Beyonce' go off. “Dammit! People just won’t let me rest!” I answered the phone and it was my best friend Adaora.

ME: Hello

I said in a sleep voice tone

DORA: Hiyya Kid

ME: Adaora Nicole Akubilo is 8:21 in the AM and you wanna call me all hyped.

I bombarded while looking at the time on my iPhone.

DORA: Sorry Tee I was just calling to tell you Daijah wasn’t going to be at work because she so called went on a vacate with her boothang.

ME: Boothang???? Who is he girl!

DORA: Who is he???? I’ll tell you who he is…. He is a fool enough to go with that girl.

ME: True that…. I hear she gets around.

DORA: I didn’t hear I KNOW.

We both burst out into laughter.

ME: Hey bae I’ll call you back when I set up dinner tonight at Hilton and we will get it in TONIGHT.

Dora was tripping out on the other end of the phone.

DORA: Bruh you so gay.

ME: Or am I but fr fr I’ll call you back later. Muah

I hung up the phone and roll out of bed grunting. Lord knows I’m tired. Being a flight attendant isn’t an easy job, it requires training. Not only that I’m going to law school and I’m working on becoming an F.B.I. But honestly I was living large with my families support.

I went into the restroom and got into the tub, when I got out I brushed my teeth and toned down on the makeup. I went to the laundry room which was bigger than any regular laundry room and ironed my work clothes. My phone was going crazy because it was ringing for 4 minutes! I tried with all my might to ignore, but it was honestly pissing me off.

“Ugg!” I semi screamed out loud. I snatched the phone off the dresser and answered it and put it to my ear.

ME: Hello

I said a little hostile.

????: Hey girl.

ME: Hey who is this???

????: Sharra

ME: Hey Sharra I haven’t talked to you since the pageant! What’s up? How you been? What’s your career looking like?

SHARRA: Slow down girl. I’m doing fine, I’ve been in medical school but I’m planning on getting into more pageants. What about yourself?

She was chuckling a little bit.

ME: Same here actually just I’m still working as flight attendant to make a little cash and I’m in law school for Criminal Justice and trying to become and F.B.I agent.

SHARRA: YASSSS GIRL WORK!

I was tripping out.

ME: But yea just tryna be somebody that’s all. I want to have a good reputation.

SHARRA: You got that right. But I was calling to see if you would come out with me and some other pageant girls Saturday at 9:00 to a party Haley is throwing in NY.

ME: Yes! Anything for my girl and that's perfect because I will be traveling to NY for my job.

SHARRA: Ok great! See you then hun.

ME: Will do!

I hung up the phone and hooked it back up to the charger.

I had to go get my nails did and my appointment is at 10:00 and it’s already 9:00. I picked an outfit out of my closet and put it on without ironing it because I really didn’t have time…. 20 minute drive plus stopping by the store for about 10 minutes. I wasn’t going to nor willing to take that risk and miss my appointment.

(OUTFIT IN EXTERNAL LINK)

After I left the store I headed to get my finger and toe nails done. “Hey Tip.” I said with a smile on my face. “What are you smiling so hard for Miss. GA?” “The Lord woke me up this morning…. Ha so why not.” I stated still cheesing. I gave her a hug. “Long time no see shawty.” I nodded. “Yea, I’ve been super busy with my career.” She nodded and said “You're really doing your thing and that’s why you see all the little girls her in Georgia look up to you. Even big girls look up to you. I know I do.” I smiled. “That means a lot to me.” “You are absolutely beautiful you know.” “Thanks but sometimes I honestly don’t feel like it.” “Girl please." Tip said waving me off. An hour pasted by with Tip and I gossiping.

"Alright you’re all done.” Tip said “Thanks.” I said handing tip 85 bucks. I hugged her."Anything for my lil sis." She said handing me my 85 dollars back." "Wait no.. what take it Tip." "Nope." "Well at least take 60 come on now." "Ok, Ok." She said smiling. "I love you and if you need me call me. Okay?" "Okay. Love you too." I said while walking out of the nail shop.

I headed to my car and got in. I went home and kicked my shoes off when I got in my room. I was rushing to get to work at the airport. I pulled off my clothes and changed into my work clothes and then I heard my phone ringing. I fished it out of my pocket, answered it and put it to my ear.

ME: Hey Adaora!

DORA: Hey hun I was just calling to tell you to wear your black business suite. You are going to be in VIP with a celebrity. Mr. Banks said he tried calling you but couldn’t reach you.

I looked at my phone and I had 2 missed calls from Mr. Banks & a text from my mom. I sighed.

ME: Ok I guess.

DORA: Are you ok????

ME: Yea I’m fine.

DORA: Oh…. Okay. Be at work by 1:00 and call me if you need anything…. Ok??

ME: Ok promise!

It was like Mr. Banks to change my schedual at the last minute.

I hung up the phone, took off my clothes, and opened the text my mom sent me and it read: Mama misses her little girl! Found a man yet? I hope you haven’t had any kids and I wasn’t there! Hope you are happy and I wish you the best God Bless baby! Mommy Loves her baby girl Angel!

I smiled to myself. I loved it when my mom called me Angel made me feel some type of way.
