TONI:
“Girl’s trip Toni!!!!! HEYYYY We Lit!!!”
“Lee Lee don’t use anything close to my real name. I’m out here INCOGNEGRO!!!”
“GIRL BYE the time we get there; I won’t remember your damned name. Bitch just make sure I get on this plane to go home.”
“I got you ho. Your mother ain’t whipping my ass cause your ho-ing ass missed boarding the plane.” We laughed and high-fived each other as we found our seats.
“Aiight, you’re Henny and I’ll be Cardi.”
“Ho I know you just didn’t’ give yourself the rapper’s name.”
“I sure did.”
My best friend Alecia (Lee Lee) and I are celebrating our college graduation spring break style. After 4 years of classes, papers, tests, and late nights studying, we are boarding a plane to Cancun, Mexico. We called this the T&A tour that stood for Toni and Alecia not tits and ass, although I plan on showing mine, my ass that is.
And we meant it! My best friend and I made reservations at this resort months ago and decided after our parents had their fill of celebrating us with parties and cookouts, we’d live our best lives, just us with 4 days, 5 nights of nothing but fun before becoming responsible adults. We already had jobs lined up and had plenty of time before our start dates to enjoy a little freedom. I’d be working at a local software company as a software engineer. Lee Lee would be working as a preschool teacher at an elementary school that was down the street from my job.
As we took our seats, these four white guys were boisterously boarding being obnoxious entitled asses. Three of them looked like the typical rich boys you know, Chad, Brad and Stuart. I mostly noticed them because they were loud and acting like immature teenage boys. Well at least three of them were. The fourth one, the tallest, was muscular and extremely handsome. He was the quietest one of the group even though he laughed with his crew, he wasn’t bringing attention to himself. Well not that type.
“Lee, you see THAT?”
“Yeah them loud ass white boys? Yeah I see ‘em. Hope they’re not going to disrupt my trip.” As soon as she said that, one of them accidentally bumped her shoulder since she was sitting across from me in an aisle seat. “Scuse me sweetheart.” Alecia snorted and rolled her eyes turning back to me. But my eyes were on the tallest one in the group.
“Nah, that tall one is fine as hell. I could really go for some white chocolate on this trip. MHM.”
I’m a sucker for pretty eyes and juicy lips and this dude had both. White guys aren’t my norm, of course I found a few celebrities irresistible but I was also wary about the real deal. This guy must have gone to the tanning salon for a base because he wasn’t pale like two of the four, in fact he wasn’t pale at all. The light bronze skin caused his eyes to stand out even more. And then he looked in my direction with a perfect smile that reached his hazel eyes with a slight crinkle in the corners and I was immediately drawn to him. As soon as our eyes met, they locked and as he waited for his seat, we couldn’t break eye contact. They were hazel brown and his lips looked so kissable. His chiseled face was even sexier with his 5 o’clock shadow. DAMN! I needed to tear my eyes away from him but I couldn’t! Our erotic eyeball conversation only ended when he broke it by taking his seat. His seat was right behind mine and I did everything in my power not to turn around and talk to him like a 5 year old even though I could feel him and definitely smell whatever purely male cologne he wore. I heard one of his loud friends say to the flight attendant that they were travelling to Cancun for his cousin’s bachelor party. I hoped that HE wasn’t the cousin. But FUCK IT they electricity between us...Whatever happens in Mexico...Stays in Mexico. Right? That man was so fine I was willing to be his last hurrah just for the memories alone.
About 3 hours later, we stood at the baggage claim impatiently waiting for our luggage. Lee Lee and I were ready for this vacation to begin. Alecia, who talked pretty much the entire ride, was still going on about some of the touristy things that she wanted to do. And the bachelor party crew pulled up next to us. Still goofing around, telling bad jokes and flirting with anything that looked good to them. White Chocolate had loosened up a little but was still more subdued than his crew.
From where I was standing now I was able to get a better look at white chocolate. About 6’4 his pre tanned skin was the canvas for long muscular legs, cut arms and beautifully colored tattoos. Dark brown curly hair that was cut short, and those gorgeous hazel eyes framed by lashes that some women paid a high price for. I tried my hardest to listen to Lee Lee but again those eyes locked with mine. As Lee Lee continued to talk, her voice drifted off. I took him all in barely hearing a word she said. His eyes drew me in so deep I was literally lost in this man’s gaze. Hypnotized. Like I had planned our wedding, babies, our dream home, family vacations, our 50 th anniversary. And then his boys nudged him, he winked and smiled at me, chuckled at what one of them said, grabbed his bags and walked away.
“Wait, come back! Didn’t you see I had been planning our fu ture?”
Just like that the trance was broken. That was just strange. Never before had I been so captivated by the way a man looked. Never before had I had a soul stirring life changing conversation just by looking into someone’s eyes. In high school and especially college all I’d ever known guys to want was some ass. My choice of course whether or not I indulged. I’ll admit I got mine but I can honestly say I’ve never been in love. This guy had me thinking about weddings, babies, comfortable shoes and mom vans. For some reason, I really hoped I would see him again.
As good luck would have it, we all ended up on the same hotel shuttle and in the same hotel.
The one named Aaron approached Lee Lee, “Hey are you ladies following us?”
“Why would you say that?”
“Because I’ve been checking you out since we were in the airport. Which means you are destined to be my date for this vacation.”
Lee Lee laughed at him flirtatiously and introduced us to his crew. My wish had been granted when I found out that Drew, my white chocolate dream, was not the cousin getting married. It was his brother Derrick that was the lucky groom.
“So where ya girls from?” Aaron asked.
“Jersey, Brick City to be specific. How about you guys?” Lee Lee was more than willing to share our information.
“Me and my brother are from Piscataway, my cousins Drew and Derrick are from Atlantic City although, “I guess Aaron was the spokesperson for his group and Lee ours because they were doing all the talking. It’s OK because I was back to planning my wedding with the man who I now knew to be Drew.”
The reverie from the plane spilled over to the shuttle. By the time we reached the hotel, some of the older tourists thought that we were a group that traveled together. We kept that momentum up by meeting up by the pool/bar that evening. We ate, drank and chilled until the wee hours of the morning. As expected, I hooked up with Drew and Lee Lee hooked up with his cousin Aaron the very first night. Somewhere between the first and fifth shot of Tequila, we ended up in Aaron and Drew’s suite.
At first it was the six of us but Derrick, although having fun, was intent on being faithful to his fiancé Tara. He left to catch some Z’s in his room and their other cousin Mark followed because he’d surpassed his limit. We were playing drinking games which led to stripping games after the playing field was leveled. Aaron was enjoying drunk Lee who was even chattier than normal. I was giggling and making stupid jokes the entire time and Drew found them to be knee slapping funny. When I got up to leave for our room which was a very difficult trek 5 doors down the hallway, I noticed Drew decided to be a gentleman and escort me to my room.
“Are you going to be OK or do I need to tuck you in?” He asked.
“I’m going to definitely need to be tucked in.” I smiled and put my arms around his neck pulling those juicy lips to mine. “I may need you to give me a bath and read me a story too, daddy.”
Shaking his head, he took my key card, reached around me and unlocked my door. His lips still on mine, he eased me into the room and onto the first bed in our path. I felt his
