"Where were you two?"asked Keri smiling as Stella held Parker in her arms.
"We were talking."said Frank as I nodded. Zoe looked at me knowing that something was going on and continued staring at me. I looked away, however I knew she was going to work it out. We took photos with Stella and Parker.
"Frank, remeber what we discussed."said Stella looking at him. Frank said ohh and smiled.
"Stella and I decided that one of you gets to choose the middle name. That person is... Zoe."said Frank as everyone including me looks at her. She stares back at us.
"Me?"asked Zoe confused. I looked at her then smiled she is so modest and kind. Keri stared at me and smiled and hugged me. She whispered I love you in my ears. I kissed her.
"With everything you been through I think you deserve it."said Frank as everyone stared at tension was buildng up.
"Umm okay I choose the name Antony."said Zoe as Stella an Frank smiled. Stella then went to sleep with Parker in her arms. They left quietly. We walked down the road and said Bye to Zoe and Shanice. I told Keri that I have got a club and couldn't go out tonight.
I saw Zoe going alone to her yoga club. She walked so gracefully her face lighting up as she saw the place and walked in. I walked in and saw Zoe at the back doing some stretches. I looked at her before standing next to her. She looked at me annoyed.
"Are you on a mission to try to annoy me?"asked Zoe angry. You could see by the expression on her face that she didn't want me there. She started to leave. I grabbed her arm.
"Don't leave because I'm here." Zoe smiled slightly before returning to her spot. We did some excirses and some moves that were really hard. 30 mins later, everyone is leaving but me and Zoe. She waits until everyone is gone before walking towards a locked door she opens it with a pin from her hair.
"Where are you going?" I asked following her into the room. I expected it to be cold and dark but actually it was a lesuire centre. She sat at the edge looking at the water.
"Ahh you come here to relax." Zoe looked even more annoyed that I was there. I sat down beside her and looked at her.
"Yeah alone so you know where the door is." said Zoe pointing to the door. As much as she tried to hurt and shut me out I wouldn't let her. I stayed put.
"Zo, I'm not leaving. I know how much pain I put you through but I'm not going anywhere." I put my hand on her leg, but she shuffled away so I did the same and moved closer to me.
"You have no idea." said Zoe quietly looking away. I put my hand on her shoulder and moved her face so that she was looking at me.
"I know that you have been cutting yourself, Frank told me. You want to go back to LA and that you are hurting. But we can still be friends." I saw her shocked reaction. I knew that she didn't want to be friends.
"As much as I want to be friends, whenever I see you and Keri together my stomach turns." said Zoe as she stood up.
"What are you doing? Please don't leave." I sounded lame and desperate. Zoe laughed a little. I stood up then stepped back as Zoe sighed.
"I don't come here to sit down I come here to swim." said Zoe taking off her trousers and t shirt and jumping in. I laughed as Zoe stood in the water.
"Cool!" I said as Zoe smiled and stood up. I wondered what she was going to ask next.
"You going to come in?" asked Zoe. I took off my t shirt and my trousers and jumped in beside her. I looked at her she's so beautiful.
"Come on let's have a race bet I'm going to win." said Zoe as I laughed. She pushed me as I slipped and fell. She got out her hand and I took it.
"Okay let's race." said Zoe as we started swimming. I saw how happy she was. I let her win by falling. She laughed loudly. Suddenly, someone came in we ducked in the water. It was a security guard. Luckily he didn't see us. We laughed when he went. I splashed her. She splashed me back we had a blast. It was so much fun. I turned around to give her privacy as we changed back.
"So can we be friends please." i stared at her as she nodded. I walked home smiling thinking that this was the start of a beautiful friendship.
