I arrived home from my all-nighter I pulled at the hospital. I hate working that shift, but I have to do what I have to do.
On my first break, I saw Kenzo was on live. I was shocked, just like everybody else in the comments. The notification appeared on my phone. I immediately opened it. I thought he wasn't going to notice me because he had so many viewers watching already. By the time I joined in the video, it was up to eight hundred thousand views. I'm not sure how he spotted me out of everybody. I heard him say hey pretty lady, which is what he calls me sometimes. It was sweet.
I needed to shower, eat, and get some rest. I sent my family a group message checking in as I made my way to the bathroom.
After showering and throwing on some lounge clothes, my favorite oversized nightdress and some shorts you couldn't see unless I pulled up my shirt. I went into the kitchen to fix some breakfast.
I was exhausted around that last hour at work and on my way home but now alert. Which irritates me because I have class later today. Luckily I'm off tonight.
I decided to get a little meditation in, while I waited for the food to finish. Something I do to center me when my mind is all over the place.
"Nom, Nom, Nom," I repeated slowly through inhales while thinking about my future and things I want to happen in it. Kind of like a manifestation. I envisioned my goals, imagining myself already with them.
Finishing up, I felt peace. My spirit within was on a high. I went on to complete the final things with breakfast.
I texted Char letting her know it was done. I asked her if she wanted me to bring her a plate over. She said she would come and eat with me.
After turning everything off, I got a knock at the door it was Char.
"I love it." I opened the door taking in her attire.
Her long flowing braids, big hoop earrings, and bangle bracelets.
"I love those floral print pants." I turned her around and squeezed her booty. She jumped out of my grasp, laughing.
"Thank you. You know how I do." She did a little spin. I shook my head, smiling at her short self.
Both of us washed our hands, said the grace, and fixed our plates.
"So Char what's new? You said you wanted to ask me something at work but didn't get a chance to?" I remembered her saying.
"I think I have a crush."
"Hmmm, do tell more please." I leaned in, giving her all of my attention.
"I think Julian might be feeling me." She twisted her lips up to the side.
I was a little taken back. I wasn't expecting her to say this. "My twin? —What makes you say that?" I raised my brows, bringing them together, causing a line to form in my forehead.
