Cali Serenity.

Last night was perfect as I spent time with Chris at his mixtape listening party. Even though he showed me so much love and attention, I couldn't shake that feeling of that wanna-be blasian bitch all in his face. 

I wanted to ask him about her but I decided against it. I didn't need any drama brewing because of some bitch and I damn sure wasn't 'bout to look pressed over her either.

It was 11 AM and I was walking behind Nazarae as we made our rounds in the oncology department. She seemed to be in a better mood today than when I first met her so I was cool with that.

"We gotta go check on Ms.Ivy." Nazarae scribbled on her notepad before looking up at me.

"You mean that nasty woman that didn't want me in the room for whatever reason?"  I arched my brow.

Nazarae stared at me with a grin. "I know she seems like a handful but she is a nice lady once you get to know her."

I guess something like herself huh?

"I guess so. I got no choice but to suck it up because I need to finish my clinical."

"That's all that matters."

Nazarae began walking in front of me as I followed behind her closely as we made a beeline for old lady room.  She signaled for me to wait outside for a second and I nodded as I waited patiently.

A few minutes later Nazarae opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind her.

"I gotta get her food tray since she said they didn't bring it upstairs to her yet. She gotta take her medicine, I swear these nurses don't be following patients' schedules for shit. Can you go in there and take her vitals?"

"What?" I jerked my head back. "So she can cuss my ass out and I get yelled at by Dr.Doughty-"

"Cali please, I'm going to be gone for like five minutes. All your doing is checking her blood pressure, temperature, and all the basic stuff."

"But-"

"I'll be right back."

"I...Naz...ugh!"

I tripped over my words as Nazarae swiftly walked away and made a right as she disappeared down the hallway.

I cussed under my breath when I slowly pushed the door open to find old lady sitting up in the bed watching Steve Wilkos's show.

"Good Morning...Ms.Ivy" I greeted as I tried to be pleasant. "My name is Cali and I will be checking your vitals until Nazarae-"

"Aint you that lil girl that I didn't want in here last time?"

I sighed as clutched my clipboard against my chest as she stared back at me with her brown eyes. She didn't blink one time as she waited for a reply.
