After having breakfast with just my dad and I, I decide to go to the community swimming pool near my house as I wanted to be alone and I just needed time to think.
I'm really close with my dad and I knew he could tell there was something bothering me. One thing I love about my dad is he does not push you to tell him anything, he knows we will talk to him when we are ready and he will always be there to listen and comfort you if needs be.
It has always been just the three of us ever since my mother took off when I was just four years old. I do not even remember her face honestly. I'm sure my brother remembers her, he was 6 years old when she left. I still do not understand why she abandoned her family. My dad told us to ask him anything concerning our mom but I feel like I would be opening old wounds by bring her up.
Anyway my dad taught me everything I know now, like cooking, playing my favourite sport which is tennis. He was even there for me when I got my first menstruals. I didn't even think twice about not telling him. That was the day we had the sex talk. I mean I did know what was happening obviously. I heard some people talking about how weird and awkward that talk was with their parents but I didn't have the same experience with my dad. My dad has a way with words. I was laughing the entire time while he was explaining why I was suddenly bleeding and everything but then I listened to him attentively even though everything he said we already learned in biology and during one of the guidance and counseling lessons at school.
My dad is the best person ever. I don't know what I would do without him or where I would be right now if it was not for him.
He is pretty much my bestfriend and I know he is waiting for me to open up to him on what is bothering me.
I'm just not ready to open up yet.
I grab my black bikini and a towel from my closet and place them in my bag and I grab a novel from my shelf on the way out.
I take 5 minutes to arrive at the pool site and I change and dive into the pool. There is something relaxing about swimming.
After 30minutes of doing laps I get out of the pool, grab my towel and novel and sit on one of the chairs there.
I try to read one of my favorite novel which is After by Anna Todd but I can't concentrate at the moment.
I can't help but think of how I met Jace. Well I guess it's time to go down memory lane.
Three Months Ago
"Bow let's go out today after class, and you don't have any excuse not to come along since we finished writing our first tests 2 days ago." my bestfriend Sam says. We started university around a month before so things were starting to be a bit difficult there was no time to be slacking off.
Sam and I have been friends for 10 years now. We met in grade school. She was new in school and the principal called me to show her around the school since I was pretty much one of kindest students around. She also wanted me to help her catch up with her school work. Yeah I have always been a bookworm, It doesn't mean I love school or anything, but I just wanted to make my dad proud.
Sam did not like me at first, it changed when the school it girls poured chocolate pudding on her during lunch and everyone laughed, I was the one who ran to her and even gave her my clothes to change into, luckily we were the same size.
She started warming upto me since then.
I also started helping her with school and we became best friends ever since.
We only attend 2 classes together which are introduction to psychology and communication and literacy skills.
We really are opposites really, Sam loves going out to parties and I love staying home, I'm pretty much an introvert. But I guess that is what makes us work.
And I am deeply regretting agreeing to sign up for the same classes as her, Sam loves talking so much, how am I even going to be able to listen to the lecturer with her beside me all the time.
At least she isn't there in my other lectures since she does psychology and I do English literature and Human Genetics.
It's an odd combination, but I love reading so much, and I just love biology so much, even in high school I enjoyed biology lectures more than anything, and when we got to the genetics topic I fell in love with it which why I decided to pursue it. I figured I would use genetics degree as my back up plan if my editing and publishing career does not work.
The reason why Sam is talking to me so freely is because our lecture decided not to show up today and as always a lot of the students are already leaving.
''Okay fine Sam, since it is Friday I will go out with you but if at any point I feel uncomfortable I'm leaving whether you like it or not''
Sam picks me up at 6pm from my house and we go to one of the well known restaurants in our area.
We take a sit at one of the tables and a very handsome waiter comes to us and hands us the menus. I don't even bother making eye contact with him because I know he is going to prefer Sam to me. Sam is really beautiful with killer curves and she is also tall and I know a lot of guys love that while I'm on the chubby side and a bit short. She started developing all these great features in high school when we were doing grade 10. She used to be chubby just like me but one time after she came back from Christmas holidays she had lost so much weight.
"Good evening, my name is Jace and I will be your waiter for the evening." Wow I love his voice, that's soo hot. I get the courage to look at him and he is looking at Sam as always.
''We will both have the 400g ribs with fries, a chocolate Milk shake, the bubblegum milkshake and two cheesecakes when we leave'' Sam says to him.
''Okay, noted"he then winks at Sam.
''Bow, Jace was totally checking us out, and he is totally hot, I mean serious eye candy."
''yeah he is handsome, and you are beautiful Sam, so I'm not surprised he was checking you out, you guys would make a really cute couple,and we both know he wasn't checking me out Sammy"I laugh
" I'm telling you, he looked at the both of us with that I want you kind of look but I'm sure if he was to choose right now he would totally go for me, no offense intended girl" I just laugh at that, she is right, Sam is extroverted, she can even go as far as asking a guy out if she finds him attractive.
I decide to go to the lady's room and 5 minutes later when I get back from the rest room Jace is already talking to Sam. Well no surprise there.
But then the weirdest thing happens, Jace comes straight at me after talking with Sam.
"Rainbow right? Umm well can get your number?"
"huh?m-mine?" I stutter, to say I was shocked would be an understatement Im sure I didn't him correctly, he is asking for my number. Maybe he wants to talk to me about Sam or something.
He smiles at me" yeah, yours"he chuckles.
He hands me his phone and I put my number in his phone, he then calls me right there.
"and now you have mine, well enjoy your food"
I love at the table with a huge smile and I see Sam scowling.
I go to my table with Sam and sit down.
"What did he want" Sam inquires
"Guess what, he asked for my number, isn't that surprising"
"Oh, that's great I guess".
I laugh at Sam
"you are so jealous right now" I laugh
"No I'm not" she says
"yeah right, well it's pretty obvious he asked my number to ask about you, come on look at me Sam, I doubt I'm his type"
Sam smiles at me and we continue eating our meal.
