Road Trip

Michael was awaken by a great aroma coming from the kitchen.

"What is my beautiful wife preparing there?"

"Oh honey, you're up already. I was just cooking our favourite then we can leave."

"Where's Joy?"

"She is with Derrick , he came to pick her up this morning ,he said he can't pack his clothes alone or he will be bored "

"Okay , so when is our flight leaving? .." They looked at each other and Jada looked like she hadn't booked the flight tickets .

"Jada don't tell me you didn't book the flight?"

"Well ,you know we still have one more thing to do on our list before the end of the year, so I thought that maybe we could use my Rolls Royce Phantom to drive to China?Road Trip?"

Michael and Jada ended up agreeing together that they would travel to China using Jada's new car car , plus it would hurt going on a road trip , they have gone on one when they were still in University but obviously now it wouldn't be the same, this was going to be the last road trip they would ever have.

Derrick had offered to travel with Joy using a flight, he suggested that they get to China first and get some rest because if she was to tag along in the road trip it wouldn't be that safe for her because they were going to take a lot of stops along the way, so he didn't want that and he also didn't want the child to bother them on their way ,because obviously she was going to cry every now and then.

But nevertheless of Derrick's ways to try and convince them to let Joy go with him , and as much as they appreciated him trying to save them the trouble he was talking about, they still wanted to go with Joy , they wanted Michael to spend as much time as he could with his baby, as they would take pictures and videos , they wanted Joy to be there , they needed something. Something they would show to her when she grows up, she should see just how much her parents loved her and what kind of a person her father was , so they turned down Derrick's offer. As painful as it was for him, as he had already gotten used to being around Joy and doing everything with her , he had even begun calling her "Pumpkin", he had to accept the Parents' wish, either way man , he was still going to see His Pumpkin when they get to China .

"How many young brothers fell victims to the streets , rest in piece young nigga there's a heaven for a G , it'd be a lie , if I told you that I never thought of death, my Niggas we the last ones left." 2pac 's song was on loud speaker as they left the hotel to make their way to China , these two luckily had the same taste in music . They both liked Hip-hop, RnB , AmaPiano, Rap , They basically liked each and every genre that they found nice ,they didn't choose and that's what made them so close , if a song spoke to the other then it would definitely speaker to another. They stopped at the first gas station they came across to fill up their tank , they didn't want any mistakes along the way . While the gas was getting filled up they were making TikTok videos and the were also blogging , the actually did that every time they stopped.

The baby girl was not being problematic at all, she only cried when she needed food and when she wanted to change her nappy , she did not even make a sound when she wanted to sleep , she would just sleep.

"I had a habit of missin..." ,the couple sang along to Anthony Hamilton's Her heart until it came to and end , it was amazing how they sang it lyric to lyric like it was released yesterday ,just after it went off Jada asked "Were you ever going to come back"

"Huh?" he asked in confusion

"I mean , if it wasn't for cancer. were you ever going to come back?"

"To be honest ,no . All my life I have prioritised work over anything else , I was never going to leave my work.."before he could finish ,Jada spoke

"ohh" in disappointment she said

"I have not finished , like I was saying , I was never going to come back. But it took cancer for me to realise that I actually love you ,now I realised that I should not have put my job before you ,and I regret my self. I regret my self for leaving you , for choosing work over our love ,I regret myself for not coming back earlier. and now you have blessed me with a child , a child whom I will not get the chance to see grow up because of me not knowing my priorities so somehow I thank this sickness because it took me it to come back and fix my mistake" he said as he leaned towards Jada to kiss her .

It was awkward for a few minutes until they heard their other favourite song playing, then they put the volume on loud speaker again , it was "Seng'Zwile by Aymos" it was a South African AmaPiano song that was currently trending ,it spoke about being tired of a cheating partner who does not come back home . They sang along like they related to the song of which they didn't.

The couple kept singing along and changing songs in their car all night longs , they would change outfits everytime they got to a gas station and took videos , it was like they were in an event where they had to change clothes after each and every art break. They were having the fun of their lives , although they did stop for a few hours along the way because Jada was kind of tired and she wanted to sleep, so no one was going to be able to drive since Michael was also in a wheelchair .And now off of their bucket list was The Road Trip!
