Azalea looked up to see no other than Jay, standing there with his back facing her. For a second, she stood there behind him dumbfounded, as to how he hasn't reacted—turning around to scold her like he would to his friends—but she just shook off the thought and opened her mouth to apologize, because that's common decency, right?
"..So-"
"You good."
He quickly reassured, stepping more into the kitchen, scooting onto the counter. Azalea now had a more clear view of the kitchen, where she saw her aunt who had just finished sweeping, seeing that she was dumping whatever was in the dustpan into the trash while Adrihanna, looking mad as ever, was lazily washing the dishes.
"Justin! I know daaaaamn well you not sitting yo funky ass on my freshly wiped— Lea baby, your back!" Ellesse started, but switched her words up at the sight of Azalea. Jay squinted his eyes at her initial sentence while Azalea gave her a small smile.
"Azalea you not gonna walk in this rain especially with Cameron so Jay said he'll drop you guys off." Ellesse explained to her, before moving and setting the broom + dustpan in its designated spot next to the refrigerator.
Hearing those last few words fly out Ellesse's mouth made Azaleas whole demeanor drop. Although she'd rather ride with him than uber an adult that she doesn't know at all she still barely even knew who Jay was and didn't even know if she planned on getting to know who he was.
Lost in her thoughts, she just stood there like a mannequin while Jay eyed her confused for a moment before remembering some of the little things Ellesse told him about her, just for the sake of their comfort.
"You ready?" He asked, sliding off the counter and snapping her out her thoughts. "Y-yeah sorry.. I-I'm gonna..." she was about to say, but trailed off cutting herself short as he already walked out the kitchen. With that, she turned around to face Adrihanna, who still looked mad as ever washing one of the last few plates in the sink. "I'll text you when I get home, Adri." Azalea smiled at her. Adrihanna's face finally softened and she smiled back at Azalea. "Aight, call me actually because I just know I'll be bored as fuck!" She said, making Azalea let out a little giggle. "I'm gonna go make sure I didn't leave anything in your room, bye Adri, bye Auntie!" Azalea said, going in to hug them both before rushing over to Adrihanna's bedroom and carefully looking around to make sure she has everything. She decided to leave her clothes from yesterday there as she probably would come back in a some days.
With that, Azalea grabbed her slippers from next to Adrihanna's door, then rushing over to Ellesse's room to grab Cameron's crocs. She then made her way down the hall. She noticed Cameron was gone so she concluded that Jay took him already and with that she just awkwardly waved at whoever was paying attention to her before she went straight out the door.
"Bye, Lea!" Notti and Dd both yelled out.
She made her way to where the elevator was, pressing the bottom repeatedly with her knuckle until it finally showed up. She walked in cautiously and pressed the button for the first floor, then the button to close the door. When she finally got downstairs she wasted no time hurrying out the building, hoping Jay wouldn't be mad or anything at how long she took. Azalea scanned all the parked cars for a moment, before a loud honk startled her. She awkwardly walked over, avoiding puddles from the rain and opened the door to the backseat where Cameron sat silently, probably tired.
"Come sit in the front." Jay said, looking at them through the rear view mirror. Azalea just sat there for a moment, before saying something. "Oh.." she blurted out, looking at Cameron before backing up out the car. "You can bring Lil' Man too, just gotta keep him outta windows view." He added, Azalea nodding in response. "Come, Cam." She said, reaching out for him. She kept the shoes in her left hand and scooped him up with her right arm, shutting the back door with her hip and opening the front with her left hand pinky. First, she threw the shoes down in the leg space in front of her and then sat down, placing Cameron between her legs as she closed the door. Azalea pulled the seatbelt down over her and Cameron before clicking it in, and just sat there a little stiff, watching Jay start the car and tap on the screen.
