Sitting outside by the pool, I gazed out at the vast ocean before me. I watched a few people walk back and forth, observing some of them communicating with each other.
I picked up my phone to see if Jada had at least checked my messages, but it was still left on unread, and I was starting to become a bit lonely.
"Mind if I join you?" I glanced up to see a woman.
"Um...no." I said, and she took the next chair beside me anyway. It was the same woman I saw Nico talking to.
"What's your name?" She asked as she sat down.
"Talia."
"I'm Ken." She reached over to shake my hand, I examining her from head to toe.
"So, where are you from?"
"Kingston. You?"
"Portland, but I normally reside in that area for work." I nodded.
"And you guys work together?"
"Mmhm, most times, but he's the worst to work with, too stubborn." I smiled a little.
"What do you do?"
"Property management." I nodded. "You?"
"...waitress." I said.
"Don't be ashamed of your way of making a living." I wasn't ashamed until she said that, but I thanked her nonetheless.
"No problem. You seem like a sweet girl. Why are you talking to Nico?" I chuckled a bit.
"He's nice, apart from being nonchalant." She rolled her eyes.
"He's not nice, but I guess we know two different versions of him." Good, because when I saw her earlier, I thought she was my competition.
"When did you guys start seeing each other?"
"Not too long ago."
"So, is this the getting to know each other stage, just starting to settle, or are you guys serious?" I'm confused as to why she cares.
"Going with the flow stage."
"Oh, so there's no label on what you guys are?" She perked up, asking the question. I just shook my head, seeing no reason to explain our relationship to her.
"Good." I frowned.
"You drink?" She glanced over at the bar.
"Yeah."
"Hey, you." She caught one of the workers attention. "What do you want, Talia?" She asked me after giving the lady her order.
