Tracy's New Girlfriend

"Go take a shower, you stink?"

   I smiled weakly and nodded my head. With Tracy helping me get up, he led me to the bathroom.

As soon as the door shut, I sighed deeply.

"What is he doing here anyway? He never mentioned he was coming"

I whispered to myself as I got undressed in the shower. I started to wash my hair letting the warm water hit me all over. As I scrubbed at the last strands of my hair, my mind wandered to Catherine. The hurt in her eyes when she handed the resignation letter to me.

  "Did I make a mistake by treating her the way I did?" I ask out loud and sigh heavily. My mind travelled to Felix as well. You keep running and those that are meant to be in the past keep surfacing. 

   Dealing with Felix right now is not something I am sure I can do, not just him but his ass of a fiance. Ava hated me back then because I never allowed her to date Jenny. I hope Felix is aware that Ava is bisexual?

  Hopefully, he is because he was willing to date me despite knowing I date girls.

  Few minutes later, I walked into my room and found it empty. I wasn't worried because Tracy knows his way around here. It's like his second home. He no longer live with mom yet he is either at home with mom or here with me. The last time he visited was two weeks ago, I guess. I can't remember anyway. So definitely, he might be arranging his luggages in his room right now.

  I was feeling better now, the warm water did the magic.

  My stomach growled and I groaned, I was hungry. 

"When was the last time I ate today?"

I asked, trying to remember. I never had lunch.

 It felt like yesterday or the day before. My stomach was growling nonstop and the only thing stopping from finding something to eat is the fact that I am undressed. I thought of ordering or cooking. I weighed my strength level to see if I can cook or go for the formal; ordering for food. My strength level suggests I order for food but Tracy would not like the sound that I ordered food. He loves what I cook and sometimes, he cooks. I think I should beg him to cook for us. Just so I don't starve to death.

After some debate on the pros and cons, I decided to call it quits and cook for us. He just arrived and would be tired. I put some clothes on and walked out of my room. I'm still not sure where Tracy was.

  I walked past his room and heard voices. I checked to see if he was on a call, he wasn't, rather he was having a conversation with a lady in his room.

  "Did he come with a friend?"

I wondered anxiously. I know it will be rude for me to go into the room but I didn't care. I pulled the knob and walked in quietly, carefully not to draw their attentions yet

  Tracy was sitting on the big sized bed facing the lady. I could not make out what she looked like because the blind was drawn, the room was a little bit dark.

  He sensed my presence and turned. 

  "Hi sis"

He smiled at me and I returned.

"Sorry, the state I met you was not something I could have told you that I brought a friend. I should have told you about it earlier but I never got the chance."

I nodded at his explanation as I stretched my neck to see who the lady was. He was shielding her with his body which made it difficult for me to see her. 

  "Hi Tasha"

I stiffened at the voice. I know the voice so well. I mentally cleaned my ears, I wasn't sure I was hearing right.

   I walked over to them and right there stood HER. I was shocked, not because she was here but because she is a friend to Tracy.

  "What kind of friends are they?"

I asked myself, confused. 

 "This is my new girlfriend, Catherine. I was in town and she lives here in Little London so I decided it's best I bring her to see you."

His voice sounded so distant. I was still recovering from the first shock and he added another one.

"When and how did he meet Catherine?" I thought. I was dying to get an answer to this question.

 "Catherine, Tracy's girlfriend? Like how?"

 I felt a hand and I looked up to see his curious eyes boring into mine,"Is there something wrong,Tasha"

I quickly shook my head,"no, not at all. I am fine"

I forced a smile,"nice to meet you, Catherine dear.

  I stretched my hand for a handshake and she took it. She squeezed it a little, I felt like she was trying to convey a message to me.

  "Nice to meet you, Tasha. Your brother has said so much about you that sometimes I get envious of you. It's pleasure to finally meet you"
