Bailey

Science geeks.

I knew absolutely nothing about science and what it entails, so I googled. I thank the human people for making the internet. It gets everything done faster than having to go around the pack for information.

After punching in,'where should I take my scientist crush on a date?' Into the search engine, a few things came up, and I bit my nail as I scrolled through each one.

I narrowed it down to about three options.

Botanical Garden, it sounded nice, but I wasn't sure if Cameron was a plant kind of guy.

Astronomy night, was he a stars kind of man?

Aquarium.

I liked that one. Sea creatures were cool. Maybe he thought the same, too. In the end I ended up choosing what I wanted and if things went south I would still be able to enjoy it on my own if he decides to bail on me which is a 50 per cent chance.

I took a look at the nearest aquariums in town and found a nice one according to the site and sent Cameron the location. He read my message and never replied, but I had faith that he would be there.

After sending it to him, I got ready for school, and that's pretty much how my day went after that. Emma avoided me because I told her I didn't want to sell my work, and I never said anything to her.

She gave another piece to do, and instead of drawing or painting, we had to make a piece of art with recycled materials.

I had no idea what to do, but we received a month to do it. By then, I must have a plan.

I didn't see Malik at school today or Tristan for that matter, so I was alone for half of the day.

Alex and I texted back and forth throughout the day about random things. He sent me some brain rotting medical terms that I didn't know how to pronounce, and I didn't even try.

I told him about my idea, Micah's idea, and he wished me good luck. Truthfully, that had me on edge. Why would he wish me good luck?

He knows Cameron better than me, so maybe good luck is needed.

We'll see.

I didn't go to work, but I still got paid for whatever reason. It started out as one day I got up and decided that I was sick even though I couldn't get sick and just didn't show up.

That continued for a week, and at the end of said week, I received a handsome sum of money.

I abused this and never went back. I should probably pop in one day to just show my face.

When Bailey texted me, I was at work. Go out with him? In what context?

A date.

That's what Ardyn said, he was happy the omega wanted to spend more time with us but I was...nervous. A natural reaction to something like this.

He made me nervous after that night he almost made me kiss him.

I've kept my distance since that, and I thought about politely declining his offer.

Alex came home last night, he was there when I arrived home, we slept in the same bed but never talked.

I wanted to ask how his day was like I always did but he did not seem like he was in the mood for questions and I was quite frankly not in the mood for his cold behavior towards me.

We were mature adults in a very committed marriage, Bailey was the only one who could act like a kid and get away with it.

Yet here we are.
