“We’re going to the zoo? ” Evie asked excitedly for the third time in a minute.
“Yes Evie, the zoo,” I said smiling carrying her with me.
“I’m so excited,” she revealed and I smiled. It was too obvious.
“Let’s get going,” Kel said walking ahead of us.
We got into his midnight black Range Rover and it was awesome, really beautiful. We stopped by the park to have lunch, there was a place he reserved for us.
“This is so nice. We should do this often.” Evie suggested and I agreed with her.
The food was displayed for us to eat, different varieties of food, pastry, drink and fruits. After we ate I just sat relaxing under the sun, being outside in the open to natural air felt nice.
“Let’s take a picture,” Kel said and we took some together then I took some of Evie then she took some of us. They were all so pretty and we all did a group selfie which was just amazing, we looked like a family. It felt so good, a pang of guilt washed over me for a second.
“The serenity is nice,” Kel said after Evie ran off to chase a butterfly.
“Yeah. We don’t go out thanks to someone. All we do is go to work and back home.”
“Well, I’ve been busy and don’t have time for that. Besides, I hate being in the public eye.” more like love being the centre of attention. He was defending himself knowing fully well that it was his fault.
I said nothing after that, I didn’t want to start having conversations with Kel Adrios, it wouldn’t end well. I got out my phone going through social media, I rarely had time for that and a whole lot of things, he was making me as busy as him.
“We have an interview next week and a photo shoot. I’ve been rejecting them since we got married but they just wouldn’t stop. We’d just have to do it.”
I hate taking pictures with Kel because I’d have to be close to him in awkward positions and there’s just this feeling when we touch, although I hate how my body still reacts to his.
“You don’t want to do it?” he asked
“No, it’s fine. I even got some offers from some brands that I’d be willing to accept if that’s okay with you.”
“Sure but you don’t have to do anything you’d be uncomfortable doing,” he replied and I nodded, I don’t like this new Kel, I wanted him to challenge me, shout at me not being nice, he’s gonna make it difficult for me to keep on hating him.
“I’m going to see what Evie is up to,” I said standing up. She wasn’t in eye reach, I knew she was safe because this place was heavily guarded by Kel’s bodyguards.
“Do I make you uncomfortable West? ” he asked smirking.
“Of course not Adrios, I don’t just like being around you.”
“Why, because you want to do some things to me? ” he seductively asked and I laughed.
“In your dreams, Adrios, speak for yourself,” I smirked saying.
“Oh. I’m speaking for myself West and I already have you in my dreams,” he replied smirking.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out what happens in the dream and I had a little imagination of what that will be like. Damn, I should stop thinking.
“That’s all you’re ever going to do, dream because it’s never going to be a reality.”
“Like you don’t want it to happen. Don’t be too sure West.”
“Oh but I am,” I said smirking. My body could crave him but not my heart. There’s no way I’d let him near either.
We went to the zoo and Evie was excited to see the animals as we showed them to her. We took pictures with some of them and it was lovely. Some people wanted to take pictures with us too, I mean it’s not every day you get to see Kel Adrios in a zoo. I noticed some teenagers squealing as we passed taking pictures of him as we passed. She also got to feed the animals and I was so happy to see her happy. Kel also looked happy and different. He was dressed casually than his usual suits and ties. It just made me wonder what it’d be like if we acted like a family if they both knew.
We got to the amusement park next, we’ve been on several rides but they wanted to save the best for the last according to them. I was scared of heights and didn’t plan on getting in the rollercoaster, I was just going to watch.
“Please,” Evie begged doing the puppy dog eyes.
“I’m not saying you can’t go, I’m just not going to, I’d be watching you.”
“Let’s ride it together, all of us. Please.”
Aaah, I couldn’t resist the eyes and said yes and besides I couldn’t have her thinking I don’t want to spend time with her.
“Still scared of heights West?” Kel teased.
“Shut up Adrios.”
“Aren’t you embarrassed, a five years old isn’t afraid of heights yet you are,” he said laughing
“Yeah, yeah shout it to the world,” I said rolling my eyes.
” Hey everyone, my wife is… ” he started shouting.
“What the hell Adrios? ” I asked covering his mouth and he smirked. Didn’t he know I was just joking?
Everyone was looking at us now and it was embarrassing. Kel took my hands away from his mouth and wrapped his hands around my waist staring at me, our heads touching. “My wife is just the best.” he completed with a smile and I didn’t mean to but I smiled. It was probably because he didn’t say what he intended to.
“I’d like to see your face when we get on the rollercoaster.” he teased laughing.
“I hate you Adrios.” I frowned saying.
“Oh I know you do baby,” he smirked saying.
Sicko dude, I let out a frustrated sigh and it was till I pulled away from him I realized I was still in his grip.
“Could you pay for the tickets already?” Evie tiredly asked after watching us.
We got into the ride, three people could share a seat and I was grateful for that rather than an individual one, I’d just die. I made sure the seat belts were tightly secured. I couldn’t afford to fall out.
The ride started slowly at first rising from the bottom but as soon as we got to the top it started going fast and I let out a frightened scream while Kel and Evie’s own were out of excitement as well as other people on the ride. Embarrassing I know. People stared at me and I didn’t even mind, rollercoaster isn’t meant for everyone. Kel started taking pictures of me in my horror state and I couldn’t do anything but wish his phone will fall off. Finally, after a long screaming five minutes that felt like hours, the ride was over and I let out a sigh although I felt like I was going to throw out everything in my stomach.
Kelly kept on laughing at me and Evie joined in. I was going to find something they both hate and laugh at them. We stopped by to buy some hotdogs and ice cream. Evie found a game centre and asked Kel to win her a teddy bear. It made me remember when Kel and I went to the fair on a date. He had won for me a big red teddy bear with a heart that I had “I love you” written on it. I had wanted to throw it out or burn it when we broke up but I couldn’t bring myself to and ended up giving it to Evie.
There was a young couple too playing the game, the prize was a white big teddy bear with a red bow on its neck.
“Come on, get it,” Evie whined as Kel competed with the other guy for it.
“Come on baby, get it.” the girlfriend said encouraging her boyfriend then sticking her tongue at Evie.
I heard Evie mutter something like “what a baby” and I laughed.
“You should encourage me too wifey,” Kel spoke up and I rolled my eyes.
“Less talking more working,” I said and he rolled his eyes.
“Come on they’re winning,” Evie whined pulling Kel, the teenage girl was smiling now.
And just because I wanted Evie to have it I spoke up. “You can do it, just get the bear babe.”
And Kel being stupid turned to look at me surprised. “Idiot, your eyes on the prize not on me. ” I scolded.
“Oh, you’re my prize babe,” he said and I rolled my eyes then smiled a little when he turned.
Thankfully Evie got the bear, I know she’d have created a scene if she hadn’t. She showed the girl the bear and stuck out her tongue at her while the girl rolled her eyes. Her boyfriend got her a smaller one.
By the time we got home, it was late and we were tired from all the rides. I surprisingly enjoyed today.
“Thanks for taking me out,” Evie said smiling and I smiled too.
“No problem Evie. If you want anything you can come to me okay.”
“Okay,” she replied then kissed him goodnight.
“Goodnight sweetie,” I said kissing her cheeks as she went upstairs.
“You made her happy,” I said smiling.
“Yeah. What about you, are you happy?”
“She’s happy, so I’m happy.” I smiled saying.
“Then I’m happy,” he said smiling, his smile was amazing, I wanted to smile too but instead gave him a weird look bidding him goodnight.
“Goodnight babe,” he said and I rolled my eyes
“Adios Adrios.” I smiled at my rhyme then turned to leave. What I didn’t expect was for him to turn me around and kiss me on the forehead. It was just a simple kiss on the forehead yet it made my heart beat fast and sent desire through my body. I just stood in his grip for a while stunned and when my senses came back I pushed him away. He’s not supposed to be acting like this, I’m not supposed to feel this way.
