Today is Friday June 28, which means, my turn to get the coffee. I roll out of bed around 7:00 am, and begin to get ready for work. Switching on my stereo, i turn the dial to my favorite station to hear the latest news."Todays traffic reports show that no accidents have happened, and the traffic flow is normal." I pull out some sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt to wear today.
Once finished putting on my clothes, i quickly brush my teeth, and unbraid my hair, lightly spraying water over, to help loosen the braids. With my tooth brush in my mouth, i put the piggy tails into the bowl were i keep them, and run my fingers through my hair to keep my hair tamed, and not frizzy. I don't brush my hair; afraid it'll fluff out, so i finish brushing my teeth, and then put on my fruit smelling deodorant. Glancing at the time, i find I'm running a bit late, and decide to skip breakfast. I quickly turn off the radio, turn on the TV, Kiss my puppy bye, and grab my cell and wallet. I put my cell and wallet into my purse, then slip on my DKNY flip flops, but before i head out the door, i grab my keys and the folder of today fugitive, and leave my house. Once done locking the door, i make my way over to my cute white Mazda Miata.
This morning, the sun is very bright, and no clouds in the sky. Even in the morning the the temperature, seems like 40c, (Metric System). With the top down, i drop my purse on the passenger seat, and put the key into the ignition, and start the car. I put on my seat belt, safety first kids! I check my mirrors, and adjust them to the perfect angle, then put in my mixed CD, with Cassie, Me and You, playing i pull out of the parking lot, and turn onto the highway, making my way to Starbucks.
I pull to the side of the road, in front on Starbucks, and quickly go inside.
"Hey, Jess! Here for the usual Friday morning coffee, for your co-workers?" John, the cashier at Starbucks jokes. "How did you know?" I laugh. "Okay so, that'll be, $36.25" "Here" I had him the money and walk over to the other counter to wait for the coffees to be made. After 5 minutes of waiting, "There you go Jess!" John smiles. I smile back, and wave goodbye. I carry the coffees out to my car and carefully place them on the floor of the passenger side, then i get in the drivers side.I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world I quickly pick up my cell and answer. "Jess, where are you?" Asks, Leland's voice. "I'm just done getting the coffee, I'll be there in 5, to pick you up" i say, while putting my seat belt on and turning on the car. "Okay, bye" he hangs up. "Leland, you drive me insane" I say and turn onto the highway again, and drive to Leland's house.
I pull in the drive way, just in time to see Leland walking out the front door; "Finally" he says and opens the passenger door. I pick up the coffee tray before he spills them, while getting in, then pass them to him, once he's settled in. "What took you so long?" he asks, clearly irritated. Hmm, something must have happened this morning, because i always arrive around this time, and he's never angry. "Is everything okay?" I ask, while driving to Da Kine Bail Bonds. He lets out a sigh, and rests his arm on the side of the door. "Ah, it's just Maui; she's being such a bitch about this whole divorce thing." "What she saying?" "She keeps telling Dakota, and Cobie, all these un-true things about me, saying I'm sleeping around, and I'm the one that wanted the divorce and left." a small tear slips from his eye, but he quickly wipes it away, hoping i didn't see. but no such luck, i lighting put my hand on his arm and rub up and down, "Leland, you know that's not true, and the best thing to do is sit down and talk to her, Calmly" I add noticing, Leland angry face. He smirks." And talk to your sons, and make sure they understand that it was mutual, and no hard feelings are between you and Maui, even if there are." I put my hand back on the steering wheel, and take a left onto Wahikkii. "You're right, Thanks Jessica" He says, and gives me an innocent kiss on the cheek. But of my unknowing, that kiss on the cheek, to him wasn't innocent, it meant a lot more then that, to him. "Here we are" I announce, as i pull into the back parking lot of Da Kine Bail Bonds. Me and Leland, get out of my car, and carry the coffee into the office. As we walk in, we see Tim sitting in one of the chairs, across from Dog, as he is sitting in his chair, behind his desk. Leland places the coffees on the desk, as i grab one and walk to Beth's office. "Hey, Beth!" I smile. "Why Hello, Jess! Oh wow Thanks!" she says, as i hand her, her coffee. "You're welcome!" I walk back over to the guys, and set my purse under the chair i sit on. "Here is yours" Tim hands me my coffee, "Thanks", "No thank you" he says. We all just sit back and enjoy our coffees, as Duane Lee, starts up a conversation with me, on me wanting to open up a clothing store. "Jessica, where are the papers for today fugitive?" Dog asks, I grab my purse and pull them out. "Right here" I pass them over to him. As i pass them, i catch Leland out of the corner of my eye, with a jealous look on his face.what is the matter with him?, i think as i sit back down in my chair." Okay so Today we are going after, Jennifer Jones, she skipped bail on the 25th" He looks around the room, to make everyone is paying attention, until he sees Leland with the same jealous on his face, looking at me. "Leland, get that look off your face and pay attention" Dog snaps, Leland just looks at Dog, and blushes a maroon red, as everyone looks at him. Dog then begins to speak again, and Leland relaxes a bit and lowers his head, but when he looks up, i smile at him. He gives me a half smile, and we go back to listening to Dog.
