The Hotel

Today was the California Golden Bears basketball game. Zoe couldn't come because she had to be at the rehearsal for the cat show tomorrow so I was going to take Zara and go to the basketball game. Zoe wasn't so sure about it because Zara can't speak English very well and if something happens to me she wouldn't be able to tell the police anything, or if we get separated then she couldn't ask people have they seen me, but after a whole bunch of begging and convincing, she agreed.

The game started at three and Zoe had to leave at two, we had to be in our seats by two thirty, so we'd all be leaving around the same time.

Currently we were at the pool with Zara who was just swimning around and laughing.

Zoe: Um, you remember me telling you about my ex bestfriend, London?

Me: The one who slept with your ex girlfriend right?

Zoe: The one and only, I um...I saw her yesterday.

Me: What no way. Where?

Zoe: At work. Apparently she's the photographer.

Me: Oh shit. Did she see you?

She nodded and sipped her lemonade.

Zoe: Yeah. Ms. Grant introduced us to each other.

Me: Ooh shit. Was it awkward?

Zoe: Duh. It was like we both had something to say but was to afriad to say something.

Me: Do you think everyone else is here?

Zoe: I dont know but I really hope not.

Me: Well what if you run into Syniyah?

Zoe: That's my only fear.

Me: Fear? Why is it a fear?

Zoe: Because we both liked each other but when she kissed me, I pulled back and started freaking out cause we both gotten out of relationships. What if she looked back on it and hates me now? I mean if we wouldve stayed together, we probably would've been married or had a biological child but instead we're on different sides of the world.

You see, I knew Syniyah Parker was here in San Diego, but I dont know if I should tell Zoe or not. I am literally stuck in the middle. Maybe I should tell her incase they run into each other or something.

Me: Hey Zo, I wanna tell you something and you need to listen closely, okay?

She nodded while playing with a strand of her pretty hair.

Me: Syniayh lives in San Diego and she plays for the Golden Bears. I'm so sorry I-

Zoe: No need to apologize, Amber. I already knew.

Me: Wait what?

Zoe: She plays for the Golden Bears which is in San Diego, so that means she would mosy like have to live here.

Me: Oh thank God you knew.

She laughed and glanced at Zara then back at me.

Zoe: When you come back fron the game can you tell me if she looks okay? I mean I-

Me: Its okay, I get it and I will.

She smiled at me.

Zoe: Thank you.

Me: Yeah of course.

After a few more minutes at the pool we had to get out and get ready. So currently, Zoe was writing down some simple questions I could ask Zara and translating it to English for me. So basically one half of the paper was in Hindi and the other in English and just incase I lost the paper, I took a picture of it.

Zoe: Okay so make sure she eats nothing with-

Me: Raw tomatoes, peanuts or too much sugar. I know, Zoe, I got this. Go ahead before your late.

Zoe: Okay okay.

She gave me a quick hug and did the same with Zara with kissing her cheeks. When she left, I looked at Zara and grinned. She laughed and grinned back making me smile. After grabbing my purse and the tickets we were now leaving as well. I had already ordered an uber so it should be here by now.

After the uber dropped us off and we went in, I decided to get us some food before the game started, which was in about twelve minutes. So after trying to explain to Zara she could get whatever she wanted, we took our seats with the game starting in five minutes. Zara leaned over and took my phone from my hands. She unlocked it with the number code and went to my translator app. She typed something in the box and translated it to Thank You.

I smile and nodded.

After the players came out I instantly looked for Syniyah and I found her. Her number was ten and got damn was she finer in person. I dont know a thing about basketball so I was only looking at the players throughout the game.

Let me tell you, I only got the tickets so I could look at the girls. Like I said, I dont know a thing about basketball but hey the girls are cute, well most of em.

After the game was over with the Golden Bears winning, we left. I wanted to get Zara back home so she could have actual dinner. I grabbed my phone and typed in "what do you want for dinner" in the english box. Once I got the translation I turned to Zara but my heart started beating faster when I saw she wasnt beside me.

I looked around me and saw her not here. I began running throughout the arena screaming her name.

Me: Zara!

I slowly scanned the arena for my bestfriends daughter and I sighed in relief when I saw her being carried out from the back in relief. I ran up to them and grabbed her from Syniyah's arms and hugged her tightly.

Me: Please dont scare me like that again.

Syniyah: Your her mother?

I shook my head no.

Me: She's my bestfriends daughter.

I placed my phone on the little shelf and looked at Zara to see if she had any cuts or bruises.

Me: Where did you find her?

Syniyah: She was coming towards the locker room when I found her. She began talking in a foreign language that I couldn't understand but I have a teammate who studied Hindi so yeah.

Me: Thank you so much. Thank you so so much.

I picked Zara up.

Me: Thank you.

??: Baby!

A pair of heels were sounding near and a dark haired girl tackle Syniyah into a hug making her chuckle.

Syniyah: Hey babe.

She looked over at us and gasped.

??: Your Amber Rose! Model, certified slut, owner of Amber & Co and the boss of the one and only Zoe Matthews! Oh my God. Hi! It's so so so nice to meet you. Im also a big fan.

I laughed.

Me: Hi and it's nice to meet you as well and thank you.

I gave her a brief hug before looking at the couple.

Me: It was nice meeting both you of. Syniyah thank you for finding Zara and have a good night.

I turned to walk off but Syniyah called me back. I looked back at her and saw her looking down at my lit up screen. I mentally smiled because my wallpaper was a picture of Zoe, Zara and I at the beach.

Me: Oh right. Thank you so much.

I picked up my phone, said a last goodbye and left to get Zara something to eat.

You see, Zoe and everyone else needed closure. They all just went their separate ways without forgiving one another and I know it's eating them up, they're just not showing it. So I have a plan and I know its gonna take a lot of work, but in the end. It'll totally be worth it.
