David, Milton and the Jones twin turned in the popular Mercy Temple Church on Washington Boulevard. He drove to the back without first noticing 3 large Knutsford premium express buses parked out front. People were milling around. Packages and food were being loaded into one bus, young people was standing everywhere or sat around in groups chatting and laughing. Selfie sticks clicking and David was reminded about high school.
His flight was uneventful, but after hanging out with the twins Tajay and Rajay and Milton, he started to relax up and laugh.
'Would you look at all the young beauties', Tajah beamed.
'Thank you Lord for your creation', his twin responded with clasped hands.
'Amen', Milton followed with his eyes closed.
David laughed, 'I see why you 3 are friends'.
The men unloaded their luggages and walked towards a bus. The passengers will travel according to age and the men were sorted out quickly.
David immediately sat at the back.
He felt excited. He can't recall the last time he felt like this. He whispered a short prayer hoping for journeying mercy and God's guidance.
He was dressed in a black tight fitted jeans pants with a red t shirt and sneakers. He observed a few women who eyed him like vultures. He smiled to himself. Even at church women were scouting him out.
He sat by the window, watching a group of 20 year olds taking pictures.

The Mercy Temple Trio drove in last. 8:10 am to be exact. Two buses were already full to capacity. The parking usher signal to Marcia and she quickly drove up to park.
Their luggages were taken and they walked to their assigned bus.
Jessica was in high spirits. The girls always manage to brighten her day. Her appearance match her mood in capri pants and close fitting spaghetti top, displaying her lean abs and pettite breast. Marcia noticed that she was giggling and she smiled.
'God is good. Alleluia', Marcia praised with outstretched arms.
'Yes he is. Alleluia', Jessica joined in. Olivia started a tune and they
sang acapella while stepping up into the bus.
Alto, tenor and high soprano blend together arousing the attention of the occupants of the bus. The trio laughed. The reaction never changed no matter what they sang or hummed, people loved their melodious sound.
David was jolted from his nap, startled. Tajah noticed and was concerned, 'you ok man?'.
'Yeah, just thought I heard someone I know'.
'Nah', Milton added, 'Just Mercy Temple famous girls group'. He glimpsed Marcia before she sat. Smiling at himself at how well she kept herself.
'Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to this our 50th Annual Singles retreat'. The driver announced. 'We are heading to the cool cool parish of Mandeville for an exciting 2 weeks of Bible teaching, Holy Ghost preaching, singles mingles and fun adult activities. Enjoy your journey in fine style'.
The bus applauded and some screamed in excitement as music filled the air and the buses drove out.
David grew nervous.
Was his mind playing tricks?
Was he dreaming of her? Again?
He was almost certain he heard that familiar high pitched laugh belonging only to Jessica. He scanned the bus looking hopeful.
He would give anything to see Jessica Blake again. He did his own researched but found no Twitter, no facebook. No social media accounts.
