The wind blew through Kassandra's braids as she stood outside clenching onto herself for extra warmth. She stood underneath the shelter provided by the bus stop, waiting on her bus to arrive.
Looking into the distance, she saw the bus approaching, before she felt a vibration in her pocket. She reached back, grabbing it and seeing the number that was calling her.
Jahseh Incoming call...
Kassandra answered, placing the phone against her ear. Once the bus arrived, she gave her bus token and sat at a seat.
"Hello?" She spoke, adjusting in her hard seat. "Imma need you to come over. Like....now." Jahseh spoke.
Kassandra scoffed. "Why? I thought you had everything handled." She mockingly said.
Jahseh itched his head, looking towards Milo who was laying asleep on her bed. He felt like she was owed a reasoning as to why she had been taken away from the comforts of her home.
Her own friend fucked her over in his eyes.
Witnessing her disappointment and the betrayed expression that washed over her face when he admitted what her 'best friend' had done made the guilt that was within him grow bigger. Being in that confused situation wasn't fair in his eyes.
As much as him pitying her situation bothered him, his wrongdoing ate him alive and he couldn't help but feel the way he did. He rubbed the back of his neck before answering.
"Look, stop the bullshit. Come over." Jahseh hung up, putting his phone on the bathroom counter. Kassandra irritated the fuck out of him, but in order to get what he wanted he had to suck it up and deal with her annoyances.
All he saw in her was someone who was desperate for attention and validation. Women like that didn't appease him. He was used to women like that surrounding him though, but to him, Kassandra was the worst of them all.
He walked inside the bathroom. Kassandra followed his instructions. Luckily, the bus was going in Jahseh's house's direction.

The bus finally arrived to the stop it needed to before Kassandra came off. She walked the roads of this part of the hood, hands in pocket. Cars drove past her as she got closer to where she needed to be.
