Nessa walked down the street. It was raining a bit, but it wasn't enough to make her take the bus.
Once she arrived home she laid in bed.
"Janesa honey are you home?" Aunt Edith asks, knocking on her bedroom door.
Nessa gets up to open the door to greet her aunt.
"I'm sorry I came in and didn't say a word. Today was stressful at work." Nessa speaks softly as her aunt embraces her loosely.
"Don't worry about it darling. Come have some tea and we can sit in silence and read. I have a wide variety of books." Aunt Edith always knew how to make Janesa feel much better.
Nessa followed her downstairs to the living room, where she got cozy on the recliner chair right alongside aunt Edith who was on the couch.
Janesa cracked open a dusty book and read silently as aunt Edith poured the tea.
"Thank you." Nessa whispered, sipping her hot tea.
Aunt Edith gave a soft nod and began reading her own book.
Hours pass and it's after midnight, which means aunt Edith was ready for bed.
Janesa also went up to her own bedroom and got under the covers.
Nessa's car butter had jumped in the bed with her, resulting in Janesa being a bit startled but laughing it off as the sweet kitten buried itself between her arms.
In the morning aunt Edith went to run errands so Nessa took that opportunity to go visit Amari at her house.
She walked up onto the porch with a book in hand, her heart beating fast as she rang the doorbell.
"Janesa? You're here early, come in." Amari smiled, noticing the book in her hand.
"You told me last time that you have read every book in the series except this one, so I thought I'd let you borrow it." Janesa gave a gentle smile while handing Amari the book.
Amari smiled sweetly, her dimples taking up most of the space on her cheeks.
"I'm gonna smoke and then we can read this together Kay?" Amari said, inviting the shorter girl up to her bedroom.
Nessa nodded innocently and followed her into the bedroom.
"Get comfy." Amari insisted while sitting on the bed, her legs crisscrossed as she placed her laptop on her thighs, making a stable place to roll her blunt.
After a while Nessa was getting bored of staring at the snake in the enclosure.
"Could I hold him?" Nessa asks, although she's afraid of mostly everything.
"Yeah, you don't need to ask. Just slide the screen off the top and be careful with the heat lamp." Amari smiled, smoking her blunt.
Nessa carefully picked up the snake, she loved the way the scales of the snake felt in her hand. She sat completely still on the bed, the small snake circling up her arm.
"Don't let him near your face. He'll definitely bite." Amari said, making Nessa's eyes widen.
"I was just fucking with you, he's a baby."
