Now onto the story.

Unexpected Developments

Arriving at the location Tracey specified; Franklin spotted her right away. Wanting to keep things relatively casual and just make it look, to any onlookers, that they were simply two friends meeting up somewhere, Tracey had arranged for them to meet by the end of the Del Perro Pier. Tracey was standing by one of the telescopes that offered views of the ocean, looking through it, apparently simply passing time. Smiling slightly he approached her and spoke up.

"Hey."

She started and turned but then smiled too. "Ah, hey Franklin."

He leaned against the railing, next to where Tracey was standing.

"So, what's up?" He asked.

"It's just...you know, like I said." Tracey replied. "I wanna talk to you, get to know you better and I think one meeting isn't exactly going to be enough and I'd rather not wait for that dinner."

Franklin nodded slowly. "Okay, that makes sense, but um...why the interest?"

Tracey just shook her head. "I already said that too; you know my father and brother pretty well and mom is happy to meet you for dinner...I've not really heard or seen much of you, only what I've eavesdropped from everyone else."

Franklin nodded again; he could understand her reasoning and so couldn't see any problems with sharing stuff with her.

After a brief pause he then spoke; straightening up as he did so.

"Alright then...let's see...where to start?" He wondered aloud.

Tracey shook her head. "Hey, before we do, let's go get something to eat huh?"

She gestured down the pier, towards the various restaurants available. Franklin agreed and so they headed down the pier together, seeking a good place to eat. It did not take long to find one and they soon sat down, enjoying their meal.

"So?" Franklin said at last. "What do you wanna know?"

Tracey thought for a moment. "Hmm, how about, for starters...how did you and my dad actually meet?"

Franklin bit his lip at that. "That's...actually kinda an awkward story, but okay."

He then began his story, telling Tracey about his job for Simeon Yetarian, how it led to him being sent to her house to repossess her brother's car; how Michael had been hiding in the back, and forced him to return the car to dealership, through the window at high speed.

"So yeah, after that I kinda, lost my job, but ended up meeting your father." Franklin finished. "I went around to see him later and; things kinda went from there."

Tracey shook her head, eyes wide. "Whoa, that's...holy shit, that's amazing. Only dad would think of something like that."

Franklin shrugged. "Yeah, I suppose."

Laughing lightly Tracey admitted. "Anything I could say about myself would probably sound boring in comparison, but, well, here goes..."

She then began her story; along with Franklin responding, the two of them spoke back and forth about various stories about their pasts, learning more about each other in the process.

After they finished getting to know each other; and having gone their separate ways, Tracey bit her lip as she considered. Driving back home she considered the sudden strange sensations within her.

'What is this...I feel so; whoa...' She found herself thinking. 'Urgh, hold on; this is ridiculous; I've felt this before but it never, it was always during those...stupid mistakes.'

She grimaced, recalling her 'terrible' dating history; the various issues it had caused and her own issues because of it. She didn't want to have yet another repeat of what usually happened.

But something did catch her attention. 'But then, I've never actually felt like this before; much...stronger and more, focused. It's different from anything that I've felt before...'

She couldn't believe it; could she really be developing an actual attraction for Franklin Clinton. If so, she began to wonder just what would become of them if he felt the same and they actually did anything about said feelings.

Meanwhile, driving home himself, Franklin was lost in thought, worrying at the same time. He had to admit, he actually enjoyed the time he spent with Tracey. It was interesting recalling some of the past and amazing, despite everything he had revealed, she had shown no judgement, merely interest.

Franklin sighed. 'Then there was those strange...feelings. Could I possibly be, no...I've felt it before with Tanisha and look how that ended...But then again...was it really this strong with Tanisha?'

He couldn't deny that what he was feeling right now was stronger than anything he had felt for Tanisha, or any other woman up to that point.

'What is this anyway; Urgh, could I really be feeling...that way towards Tracey De Santa.' He wondered. 'Oh no way, I can't let this...if Michael found out he'd kill me.'

For those very reasons, amongst other, Franklin was very wary about this and unsure about what to say or do. Now he began to wonder and feel conflicted about the upcoming dinner he had with the De Santa family.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
