So, There We Were...

Destiny's Child before Michele leaves permanently.

Destiny with Destiny

So there we were, me, Kelly, Michelle and B., all digging in our Fruit and Walnuts salads – delicious! – at the McDonald’s on 132nd and Lenox. DC was in Harlem yesterday promoting their last – I mean, latest CD, and had worked up quite an appetite lip-syncing their hits on 125th Street. I offered to spring for the salads and the bodacious Bootylicious Babes bit. Kelly is sweet, like the sugar-crusted walnuts in the otherwise relatively nutritious salad. Michelle seemed distracted. She kept looking around like she just found out that a bounty had been placed on her head. B. was her usual, ever-grinning, super-sexy self, every now and then offering to be my ‘naughty girl” with a stockinged foot tickling me on my left thigh. Flattered, I told her I was married, and showed her my bling bling ring. B. tossed back her long, luscious, blonde curls, laughed and said, “I know your nigga. Her tried to get on stage with us back when there were four of us. We got in a terrible fight. Weave was everywhere. But I did get in a good kick. Anyway, I hear you two are dangerously in love.” Indeed. When the three of us were done and were leaving Mickey Dees (by then Michelle had jumped behind the counter and refused to leave) Kelly asked me if I liked her solo CD. I told her I couldn’t get enough of it. That “Goodies” is always popping in my IPod, and I did a little dance for her, sort of a 1, 2 step. She just stared at me. B. was already out the door and had kicked the top off a fire hydrant and was gyrating like crazy! Weave and water just everywhere! Kelly and I looked at one another, shrugged, and joined her! We all danced furiously under the hydrant, which was miraculously shooting rainbow colored water into the air! Wet and willing, we touched our bodies seductively for what seemed like a million people cheering us on! The whole lasted for like, I dunno, four hours! And that’s how I became the third member of Destiny’s Child.
