Tracy
I don't know why I still care about Alex so much, he kept insulting me, but I still care about him.
I feel like it is a good thing that he insulted me again, I would look like a total pushover if he didn't, I was about to do what I did six years ago, thank God it didn't happen.
The manager sent me a text that I have two days off, I know it was Alex's doing but then I refuse to even think about it, why would he say wicked things to me and still be nice to me.
I drove to my mum's place but the twins has gone to school, I ate something from the kitchen and I went to my former bedroom to sleep.
I was fast asleep when Sam called, I didn't want to pick, I wanted to go back to sleep but then I knew that would be rude so I picked.
"Hello, Sam."
"Tracy, I went to the company today and I was told you have the day off."
"Yes."
"Good, let's go out and have fun then."
"No, it's fine thank you."
"Come on, please Tracy, I'd love to go out and have fun with you." He pleaded, I was reluctant but I eventually agreed
I told him to pick me up from my place in 2 hours.
I bid my parents farewell after begging them to help me pick the twin and then I drove home, I showered and threw on black trousers, a white top, and black sandals.
Sam picked me up and he took me to a zoo, I was not expecting him to take me to a zoo at all, an amusement park maybe but not a zoo.
"Are you surprised?"
"Of course I am, why did you bring me to a zoo, I mean, it's not like I don't like it but then why the zoo?"
"I didn't want to do the norm, another guy would take you to the amusement park or the mall but then I want to do something different, we can go to the mall later, if there is time we would go to the amusement park."
"Oh but you don't have to worry, this is just fine."
"You might never let me take you out again so why not, now tell me which cage do you want to visit first."
"Anywhere but the snake's cage."
"Why?"
"I loathe that creature."
"Okay then."
He said fun and we had fun, the peacocks and other types of birds were looking amazing, Sam had a story to tell about each animal, they were funny and made up, I laughed to my heart content, he made it fun, too bad we can't have a thing together.
He took me to the sprinklers where we had ice cream, he had strawberry ice cream and I had chocolate ice cream with chocolate toppings, It felt really weird that he was taking strawberry that I couldn't resist asking.
"Why Strawberry?"
"Nothing, I like strawberries." He replied avoiding my eyes
"Why do I feel like there is more to it? Or if is something I'm not supposed to know?."
"Of course, you'd know it, soon, but not now." He said flashing me one of his charming smiles.
