Kaily sat in Orlando’s backyard enjoying the breeze and puffing on a cancer stick. It was eight weeks, exactly two months since Carlos’ suicide and even though the nightmares have nearly ceased, smoking cigarettes had become a new habit of hers. Thanks to Orlando, she had come out of her depression but since she didn't work or have anything to occupy her time, she had started becoming very bored.

“That's what we’re on now?” Orlando asked as he walked over to her.

“I guess,” she shrugged.

“You guess?” He took the burning cigarette from between her fingers and put it out. “That shit ain't cute.”

“I'm bored, Lando, I need a job or something. I can't just sit around on my ass all day and keep dwelling over the things I can't change.” She sighed.

“Then get a job. It's plenty of places hiring, so go out and get you one.”

“I’m not talking about no regular nine to five, ‘Hello, how can I take your order?’ type of job.”

“Okay, well you know your sister always has some type of job venture up her sleeve. How about you two hook up and make something shake?” Orlando suggested.

“That doesn't sound like a bad idea,” agreed Kaily.

“So we’ll be having a visitor later on,” Orlando informed Kaily as he played with a strand of her hair that she had started let grow out.

“Oh yea? Who is it?”

“Little Lakey. Daniella called and said he hasn't stopped talking about me since we first met. She's dropping him off so we can spend some time together.” He smiled brightly.

“Awww, that's so beautiful, Lando. I'm so happy you found your sister. I remember when you used to always talk about how happy you would be if you could find her.” Kaily smiled.

“Man, we used to talk about everything; literally.” Orlando smiled.

He and Kaily would stay up late at night on the phone and talk about everything under the sun. He confided in her about things that no one knew about, he always felt safe talking to her. She was the only one who knew that he was raised in the system. He told her and not one time did she judge him, she told him that didn't make him any less of a person just because he didn't have a real family.

That's why he fell for her so hard and so easily. She would always listen to his problems, give him advice and wasn't afraid to put him in his place. He loved her then and still loved her to this day, he just wasn't going to push up on her or try to pursue her while she was grieving and mourning the loss of her man.

“Yea, you still owe me a house on the beach. Don't think I forgot.”

“You can have whatever you want,” Orlando said.

“Anything?” Kaily asked as she looked deeply in his eyes.

“Anything,” he answered as he looked back at her intensely.

Kaily just laid her head on his shoulder and Orlando wrapped his arms around her tightly as the two just stared out in space, letting their thoughts consume them.
