Ferris Wheel - Oscar Diaz

11

"So your supervisor asked you out on a Date? Is that even allowed?" Josh questioned on our way to the grocery store after dropping off a very sleepy Alaïa to school.

"I don't know. It felt weird for me but I said yes." I shrugged turning left into the next road.

"Yeah I say go for it. You deserve some dick. How does it feel to have had only one in your entire life? The same one that was your first, same one that got you pregnant too sis." He screamed the last part laughing.

I glanced at him shaking my head at him.

"You've honestly only had sex with one person your whole entire life Leigh. Wow." He shook his head in disbelief.

I found nothing wrong with that. I was only 22!

"I get it mister lover boy that you got around but don't be belittling me because of it. I didn't catch any STDs..and it's called abstinence..".

He scoffed in response "oh please, you didn't catch any STDs but you sure as hell caught a positive pregnancy test." He joked

"I have you know that she's the best thing that has ever happened to me Josh." I frowned parking in the parking space and getting out of the car with my belongings.

I started walking not even waiting for him. He ran his mouth really well so he could probably run to catch up with me with his long legs.

"You know what I was thinking..." he asked and I grunted a sign for him to continue. "..He must have had some sort of magical, high tech, terrestrial sperm to be able to impregnate you Leigh." He smirked

"Okay, You're really starting to annoy me." I reached over to grab a shopping cart

"No,but doesn't that get you thinking ,like how good is he really?" He questioned and I bit the inside of cheeks getting flashbacks.

No matter what happens to me I don't think I'll ever get rid of the way he made me feel every time,especially when it involved him being inside of me and rearranging my organs.

"Let's just stop talking about Osc-." I stopped bumping into a cart and my eyes widened when I saw who it was.

I could hear Josh snickering next to me. He was going to enjoy this.

"Urh..Leigh-Anne, Hi." She greeted awkwardly with a Smile on her face.

"Urh...Yeah.. Hi...Camilla is it?" I put my hand behind me clenching my fist before mastering a small smile.

"Urhm.." She dragged unsure what's to say, heck even I had no idea what I was meant to tell my ex-boyfriend's girlfriend.

"Well hi, I'm Josh. The best friend." I was thankful that Josh spoke up because I had nothing to say to her. At all.

"Nice to meet you." I watched them shake hands  and then my eyes settled back on Camilla. I could definitely see what Oscar saw in her,she was gorgeous, even more gorgeous than Natalia.

There's her,Natalia and then there's me,I had nothing over them. And I couldn't help but feel self-conscious. Was I ever his type? Because the two girls kinda look similar. They were exotic drop dead gorgeous girls while I was just this washed out mixed race with curly hair that was always a mess.

"So how's...Alaïa? Oscar's been telling me amazing things about her." She asked and I resist the urge to groan because this encounter was about to turn into more than just that. It was becoming a full blown conversation

"She's great. She's in school, just spreading her rainbows everywhere." I genuinely smiled.

"Yeah the last time I saw her I could tell..she really looks likes Oscar." She smirked and I nodded.

"She looks more like Oscar than she looks like me." And at times I couldn't help but hate it.

"You know, I would really like to hang out with you. I think we should. With you being the mother, Oscar the Dad and me the stepmother. We're like a little family of our own." She laughed but I didn't find anything she just said amusing.

My face dropped,my mind still stuck on only word stepmother. I licked my teeth zoning out in what she had to say,slowly boiling inside.

We're like a little family of our own. I could feel Josh's hand rubbing my back in attempt to comfort me.

"So what do you say Coffee?" I zoned back in and looked at her as she looked at me hopefully.

No. I don't want to have coffee with her. I don't even want to be in Freeridge right now. I wanted Alaïa to spend time with Oscar but I failed to take into account that she was around.

This wasn't 21-22 year old Oscar the gang leader,this was grown Oscar with a whole job and a gorgeous girlfriend.

I hate how things turned out. I wish I could go back to the time when I was working on his car, when we were constantly around each other.

I missed that.

"I don't know. I'm pretty busy." And the last thing I want to do is spend an hour with you. That's what I really wanted to say but I knew if I did Oscar will probably come banging on my door demanding for an explanation,and I would happily give it to him.

"Oh no problem. We'll have other times. I'm not going anywhere." It didn't take a kid to realise what she meant.

She was making a statement that she wasn't going anywhere whether I liked it or not. She was with Oscar and they were going to be together no matter what. There's no getting rid of her.

I gave her a tight smile.
"Yeah,definitely. Lucky for you I'm not going anywhere either." I looked directly at her,just to let her know that I was matching her energy.

I don't know what kind of games this grown woman expected me to be playing. Just like she wanted me to know that she wasn't going anywhere I needed her to know that my daughter and I weren't either.

Long story short we were both stuck with each other regardless if we like one another. There was no getting rid of anybody.

Unless...
