Cassandra is homeless,although she is tough,(as she likes to remind herself and others with her stubborness),a stubbornness that keeps her untouchable as well.
She lives day by day just hoping her needs for that day will be met. What will happen th...
Tasha happily agrees to me staying over Saturday for my date with travis,the entire weekend actually,"it'll be a slumber party!",she says.
So we paint our nails and do our hair and go shopping for a new dress for me that she insists on paying for even though I received my first paycheck since starting work and could buy it myself,she knows I'm saving up though.
And we do find a dress,a gorgeous one too and pair it with red heels,

That night we watch TV together eating chinese,when Tasha looks at me and asks suddenly,
"Sooo,do you really like my brother?"
I glance at her and sigh,well do I like him?,.." I think so...",I say.
She smiles,"I think he likes you too girl",she puts her head down on the couch falling asleep as I sit smiling to myself thinking of the sweet idea that...he likes me.
The next night comes and I apply some lipstick in the mirror and when I meet travis at the door that night I know we've done a fine job by the look on his face.
"Whoa..,he says,"I feel under dressed now,he gestures at his sweater with jeans that he wears.
I shake my head,"not at all,you look nice",I say.
He knods with a sheepish shrug,"..thank you".
Tasha pops up then peeking around me at him,"alright get her home by 11 bro,she does not have a spare key and I don't leave my doors unlocked",she gives me a wink and hug pushing me out the door.
I grab my coat and step out with him -- Our first stop is a play apparently I find out when we arrive at a theater,I smile.
The theaters a dine in one with tableclothed tables and candles,he pulls out my chair for me and I sit
"I haven't seen a live play before,this will be nice",I say
He smiles
We make our order when the waiter comes and watch as the play starts but I don't focus as much as I would because too many thoughts run through my mind and so I get some out of my head,
"So why did you want to be a firefighter?",I ask
He thinks a moment while eating,"..To save lives I guess,I like doing that".
I knod and wonder does he have a hero syndrome going on ?
Could that be what this is?
We enjoy a steak dinner splitting a slice of cake upon completion for dessert as we watch the play.
When the play comes to an end,we walk out of the theatre in silence,the sound of my heels on the sidewalk echoing,I don't think we have a place in mind that we are walking towards we just walk.
"So how have you been cassandra?,how's the apartment hunting going?"
I notice a bench and take a seat," It's going well...,I have a few that I will be touring tomorrow".
He joins me on the bench and looks like he's thinking a moment then he says,"mind if I come along?".
I twist my lips in thought,"sure .. if you want to.."
He smiles," I want to."
--
I walk in at Tasha's place and find her asleep on the couch,a book and glass of wine sitting near by,she must've tried to stay up for me because normally she's in her bedroom in bed by now.
I smile and head to her guest room,where I've been bunking for the weekend,turning off the main lights as I go.
And when I lay in bed ready for sleep, I smile thinking of the kind firefighter who will be apartment hunting with me tomorrow.
