"Hello good morning, Taxi Stand, Ludori speaking, how may I help you?", the voice spoke effortlessly into the phone.

'Ludori, Taxi for 5 to the National Airport right now, and another Taxi for 2 to the Jacquot Blue Restaurant and Bar for 7PM tonight, villa 5AB. They requested Ezra as their Special Driver', Lana rushed from the other side of the phone. Ludori jotted everything down in her Trip & Transfers log book, and then replied "confirmed" into the receiver before she put it back on the hook.

There was a knock at her door as she stood up from her comfy office swivel chair, "come in", she grabbed a black white board marker, log book in hand, she stood in place. Alexander's head   showed through the barely opened slip of the door. "Yes", she asked, curious as to why he didn't just enter the office.

'Um, yeah. Can you tally my dues up to August please, and print me a flyer. I'll be back for it's, he handed Ludori a folded little piece of paper.

"Ok", she collected it and dropped it infront her keyboard and yelled "Taxi for 5 to the C.N.A (Cyana National Airport) right now, and the next Driver go down please" - she exited through the door Alexander left open and went to put the information on the board. As soon as she replaced the cover on the marker the phone began to ring again. Ludori smiled to herself. "This is going to be a long ass day".

Tululah-Rose had just pulled up in the driveway when Kolaiah shouted'and we're home!', she swung open the door and started heading for the front door, keys in hand. 'The last two inside are on dish duty tonight', she yelled over her shoulder as she entered the house.

Rosie happened to be the one to pick up everyone today since she got off from work earlier than expected. She pressed the button responsible for putting up all the windows of the minivan and collected her share of groceries to carry inside. The other 5 women were equally exiting with their bags from the 8 sitter dark blue 2005 Alphard.

'I claim dish duty tonight', Aracelli yelled in the middle of the decorated walk way

'I claim dish duty tonight', Aracelli yelled in the middle of the decorated walk way. She finished WhatsApping her ex, now turned fuck buddy. They    set up an appointment for Saturday at 9PM. The girls knew she had an FB, but not who. Some things were worth keeping private.
She pocketed the phone in work pants and gathered up her laptop bag as well as her work  bag and continued towards the house. She'd be doing a second trip for the groceries.

Kolaiah had her bags on the island unpacking the contents, when Tyamie hollered "I'm tagged with Santiago on dish duty", from at the back of the van. She pried open the the trunk and went straight for the cooler. That's where they kept the meat and cold food stuffs when they went grocery shopping. She pulled out a bag of veggies and a 3 gallon container of cookies & cream ice cream and handed them to Aurmanii.

They always rotated their different likes and experimented with food and drinks, that way everyone was happy and got what they liked from time to time

Ludori placed her two bags of snacks and alcohol on the island and went to connect her phone to the Bluetooth speaker on the counter.  She put it on full blast to her playlist, Dancing crazy by Miranda Cosgrove now invaded the once quiet atmosphere.

' I've got a feeling that's it's gonna be alright,
We don't know where we're going and I don't know where I'm at'...

Zylii took up after Ludori stole a sip of Rosé. ' I'm kind of thinking I don't like nobody else, you know whatever happens I will be right by your side',

Tululah-Rose jumped in with the next verse,
"You, me, in the spotlight, running round till the end of the night, hot, hot keeping it coming, we can rock out to the early morning"-

By the time they got to the middle of the song all the girls were dancing around in the kitchen singing 'hot, hot keep it coming' and parking away all their groceries to start making dinner preparations.

3 of the girls took out, and started prepping the food stuffs while the other 4 went to freshen up to take over and continue making dinner.

By the time they got back to take over, everything was cut up, seasoned and organized.  They set up a dynamic earlier on that has proven to work for them and they were loving it.
