"Girl you in love" Troy said
"Why you say that?"
"Because we've been talking to you for the past 10 minutes and you look like you were in a trance"
"Oh, yeah... maybe"
"I've never seen you like this" Jaya said
It was 2 days left until our little getaway was over so Jaya, Troy and I went on a sightseeing 'adventure.'
"Its just been a long time since I found something to smile about" I said
"Aw I'm happy for you" Jaya cooed
"Me too. He's like perfect, ya know, he's sexy, smart and way he cares about me is something special but...I'm scared"
"Its normal to be scared when you have something good you get scared of losing it" Troy said
"I like him so much but then theres Chris-"
"You said you would never say his name out loud again" Jaya said sternly
"I can't help but think about it. Like he did me so wrong. I just don't want to be hurt again"
"You think Alexander would do the same?" Jays asked
"I honestly don't know but ya never know" I said picking at my food
"Give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm pretty sure Alexander doesn't sell drugs or have like 4 baby mamas. He's a complete contrast from Chris"
"Fuckboy Chris" Troy said

"...X Y Z" I said as demonstrated the alphabet in sign language and Melinda and Matilda repeated "That was beautiful" I said as I high fived them
"I like you, you're not boring like the other teachers" Melinda said
"Well thank you"
I looked across the room to see Alexander leaning against the door frame with a huge grin on his face.
"How long have you been here?" Matilda asked Alexander
"a long time" he said as he walked over to us
"Your highnesses, your history session is starting" a woman called
"Bye Zara, Thank you teaching me today" Matilda said as they both hugged me which took me by surprise.
"You're very welcome" I said and they then ran off
Alexander and I locked eyes "did you want a lesson?" I asked
"Why not?" he said as he grabbed a chair and sat closer to me "so A B C D..."
I laughed "No. It's A...B... C D" I said as I demonstrated
He signed again and it was much better. Then I demonstrated the whole alphabet
"You're just showing off now" he said jokingly
"No I'm not. I'm just a professional"
"How do you sign, 'would you like to be my girlfriend?'" he asked as he slowly looked at me
I looked in his eyes completely surprised "I-I" I stopped myself then started again "I don't know"
"Why?" he asked
"Its not you...its- I'm just going though a lot right now with my mom and these jobs and..."
He looked at me sympathetically then grabbed my hands "You don't have to answer now"
"Ok" I finally said.
