Kandi: Can we talk?
Read 3:01 am
A message from Kandi at this time was unexpected to say the least. However, I responded within the first minute of it being sent because I just so happen to be awake.
I considered myself a good friend, but I treated Kandi better than any of my others friends. It wasn't on purpose it's just how it was. I've known her since we were dumb kids and even dumber teenagers so of course my love for her ran deep.
Her asking 'can we talk' had my mind running to a bunch of different possibilities. I was anxious for what she would say but I was prepared for whatever. A couple minutes went by and she finally responded.

Kandi: don't be mad but I'm outside.
: Alright I'm coming to open the door
Kandi: Thanks.

I ran downstairs and opened the door to find Kandi outside with a hoodie and tear stained eyes. I immediately pulled her into the house bombarding her with questions as she stayed completely silent.
"What's going on Kandi? You come here at three in the morning and say nothing.." I groaned as we stood in the doorway.
"Hello?!" I yelled after she continued to stay quiet while staring at the floor.
"He had h-her in my bed."
"Huh?" I asked as I brought my hand up to my forehead. The headache I had at this point was unbearable. Dealing with this at three am was definitely not my idea of a grand time but here we were.
"Todd!" She yelled before pausing to pace in front of me. "He had that bitch in my bed... they were having sex in my bed— that I bought! In the house that's mine.." she added finally.
Now it all made sense. Todd cheated on her.
"I'm sorry Kandi..." I said as I pulled her into my arms. I let her cling to me as she cried and I rubbed her back letting her get it all out.
I waited until she was calm to guide her into my kitchen. I helped her sit at the kitchen island on a bar stool as I went to my cabinets to grab two glasses.
"Wine?" I asked as I held up the bottle. She nodded and I brought it over pouring two glasses, making sure to give her a little bit extra.
"Alright now that I let you cry be real with me. Why you crying over Todd?"
"I love him, Mik... you're the only one that hates him." She shrugged before throwing the entire glass of wine back. I raised my eyebrows as I gulped in shock.
"Maybe drink this one a little slower.." I said as I refilled her glass. "And I'm not the only one. Mama Joyce actually hates him more.."
I took a sip of my wine as I sat next to her. I watched as she rolled her eyes and took a sip from her glass.
"Well y'all were right about him. Is that what you want me to say? I really didn't come here for that.." She groaned and rested her hand in her hands.
