How to Fall... Without Trying To (GirlxGIRL)

Leslie

-Getting Jennifer to approve the trip took some convincing, but I got it done- I text Emmie, who is sitting across from me playing with a pencil. She looks down at her phone before making a sad face in my direction

-So you're just going to leave me for a week?-

-I'm sorry darling, but this is business- I send a business woman emoji

She looks down at the text and smiles, looking up to wink at me

-Better not cheat on me with a Cuban girl, not sure if I'll be able to recover-

This girl.... I shake my head

-Never in a thousand years-

She looks up and grins. I uncap my water bottle and take a swing, waiting for her text to come through

-What about in a thousand and one?-

I nearly choke on my water as it goes down my throat. I really can't with this girl right now

We enter the airport with our bags, Aria carrying more than everyone at this point. She claims it's for her equipment, but I'm sure she packed two outfits a day at this point

"Stop judging me, Leslie" Aria shakes her head, "You have two bags full of clothes, and have Queen carrying one for you"

"First off, Queen exercises" I point at Queen, who doesn't seem to be having any trouble carrying my bag and her own.

"Leslie, be glad I do or else your bougie ass would be carrying your own shit" Queen shakes her head, "You need to hit the gym with me"

"Yea, that will be the day" Adrianne laughs as we get to the first check point, giving the lady our tickets then checking our bags in

"Thank you, and enjoy your trip in Cuba" The lady hands us all back our passports and tickets

"Thank you!" We say in unison, walking toward the next checkpoint

"This is going to be so awesome!" Adrianne smiles, "I cannot wait to be in Cuba again"

"I can't wait to be there period!" Queen smiles, "Anissa says to have fun and enjoy our trip"

"Tell her we most definitely will" I smile, bumping Aria with my hip

"Maybe we can find Adrianne a Cuban hottie!" Aria smiles, "I feel terrible knowing that she has to hear our relationship problems, but doesn't have any of her own!"

"Guys! I am okay! I swear you guys are being ridiculous" Adrianne laughs, "I'd rather not have them at all"

"Yea, right" I wink at her, "We know you a little too well at this point Adrianne Elizabeth Carmen-"

"Don't you dare finish the rest of that" Adrianne raises an eyebrow at me

"Uh oh! Latino fight! Back up!" Queen laughs, "Give them some room!"

We all laugh, walking up to the security checkpoint to hand them our passports and I.D.s. They check them before handing them back and pointing us toward the International Travel security checkpoint. The next one is us taking our shoes, carry-on's, jackets, and such off so that we can walk through the security x-ray-like machine. It takes us a few minutes to get through, mainly because of the lines, but we get through it nonetheless

"Havana oh na na" Queen starts to sing, grinning from ear to ear

"Half of my heart is in Havana, oh na na" I sing the next line to the Camila Cabello song 'Havana'

"He took me back to East Atlanta, oh na na" Aria shakes her hips a little

"All of my heart is in Havana, there's something 'bout his manners" Adrianne sings
