Chapter 1
I started walking towards the park with my little brother so he could swing on the swings. We come here almost every Tuesday afternoon to play.
we cross the street to get on the other side of the traffic. Davin was skipping and singing about how much fun we will have at the park. I laugh and tell him to be careful and slow down.
when we get to the park Davin ran to the swings and yelled for me to push him super high. I laughed to myself and said, "Ok buddy hold tight so you don't fly off." He gripped the swing and shook his head. I pulled him back and let go, I pushed him a couple of times and he is screaming and laughing. I smile at him and clap. Davin and I are really close, he's only five years old and I'm 16, I watch him when my mother is at work.
I go and sit at the bench that is facing the swing sets to keep my eyes on him. I pull out my phone to text my mom and tell her where we were. I pull up my Instagram and check my feed.
when I looked up and didn't see Davin I began to worry. I stood up and looked around the park, I could not find him. I was about to pull out my phone to call the police when I felt someone jump on my back. it scares the living shit out of me and I screamed. Davin was giggling and saying I got you, I got you.
I look at him and grab him I start to tickle him and say to him "well I got you now!" He pushed me off and said that he wanted to go over on the slide. I looked over there and saw no one on the slide so I said ok. He ran to the slide and I sat on the bench.
I felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked up and there was a man standing there with a book in his hand. "Is this seat taken?" I shook my head and said "No, you can sit if you want." he smiled and sat down and opened his book.
may I say this man was good looking? He had dirty blonde hair that was almost brown. With blue eyes that looked like oceans. (if your trying to get a better picture of this man just think of Leonardo DiCaprio) I sat there looking at him, he wasn't looking at me but he knew I was looking, "You have an issue?" I shook my head and looked away to Davin to make sure he was ok. He was playing with his other little boy by the sand box.
"Is that your little boy?" I ask the man sitting beside me. he looked up and said "No I don't have any kids." I didn't say anything else after that and I called Davin over to me. "hey buddy you ready to go?" Davin shook his head and pleaded we stayed a little longer. I gave in because we'll Davin always got what he wanted when I was around.
The man asked me "Is that your baby?" I laughed and looked at him with a crazy look, "sir I'm 16 and no that's not my baby, he's my little brother." He just stared at me until I looked away because it was getting to weird for me. "So why are you at a park if you don't have any kids?" he held up his book and said, "I like to sit here and read my book, this park isn't just for children."
"Right I know." I looked at my phone and at the time it was 5:46. I decided that it was time for us the leave to go back home. I grabbed my bag and yelled for Davin. "I didn't scare you off did I?" I giggled and said "No you didn't I just have to get home for my mom." He nodded his head and asked "Do You come here often?" I shrugged my shoulders and said "sometimes we usually come here on Tuesdays." He nodded his head and, "well see you around." I smiled a shy smile and grabbed Davin by the hand and started walking home.
when we got home my mom was just getting there too. I hugged her and we all went inside. me and Davin went up stairs to get ready for bed. I grabbed him some new clothes and some toys for the bath. "Come on Davin its time for your bath." he came into the bathroom and got into the bath. As the water filled he played with his little toys. I washed his hair and he washed his body. I pulled the plug and wrapped him in his towel. I dressed him and carried him into his room. I sat him in his bed and turned his TV on to SpongeBob. he smiled and kissed me goodnight and crawled under his covers. I walked out of his room and left his room door open, because he Cry's if his door is shut.
Now it was my turn to get ready for bed. I walked to my room and grabbed my night shirt and Underwear. In the shower I thought about the man who sat with me at the park. I didn't know his name and he didn't know mine. He did ask me if I came there often. Does that mean he wanted to see me again? I shrugged and laughed at myself.
after my bath I walked to my moms room to say goodnight. "what were you at today?" I looked at my mom and said "we went to the park down the street." she shook her head and said, "OK just making sure, good night Trixie, I love you." "Goodnight Mom."
I went and checked on little Davin to make sure he was asleep. he was snoring softly so I turned off his TV and turned on his soothing sleep sounds.
I went to my room and shut the door. I sat on my bed and scrolled through my Instagram until I fell asleep.
the next day I woke up with a horrible headache. I rubbed my temples and walked to my bathroom to look at the mirror. I look like I was punched in the face. I don't want to go to school today, but I have to. I brush my teeth and brush out my long dirty blonde hair. My hair reaches to the middle of my back. Usually I wear my hair in two like half pigtails but today I decide to let my hair be free.
I go next door to my little brothers room he wasn't in his bed. My mom must have already taken him to school. Well that's one less thing I have to worry about.
I go get dressed in my room. I put on a black tube top on with Holy skinny jeans. I put on some black ankle boots to Finnish my look. I don't wear make up only sometimes will I put on mascara.
I go to the kitchen and grab a banana to eat on my way to the bus stop. When I don't have to walk Davin to school I take the bus stop to the coffee shop next door to my school. I've been ridding the bus since I was like eleven years old.
The bus stop isn't that fat from my house maybe two miles at the most. When I get the bus stop the time is 7:45. The bus doesn't get here until around 8:00. I still have 15 minutes to wait so I get a book out to read as I wait.
As I am reading I feel a present around me I look up and someone is standing beside me and I suck in a lot of air. It was that man from the park. The man I still have no idea who he was because I've never seen him around this bus stop. I go back to my book maybe he didn't notice who I was.
I speak up and say, "if you want you can sit, I don't bite, well only sometimes." He turned around and looked at me, "Oh OK." He smirked as he was sitting down.
"So why are you at the bus stop?"
I looked up from my book and look at him,
"I'm waiting for the bus to go to school."
He nodded his head and says, "I'm going to work."
I didn't say anything to him because I really had no idea what to say.
"So I've noticed that you never ride this bus before." I say after a bit of awkward silence.
He looked down at his shoes and says, "I live down the street from this bus stop and I noticed that you were walking towards here, so spare the moment I decided instead of driving to school, I wanted to ride the bus.' I look at him as if he grew two heads.
"W-what?" I was shocked and kinda scared. I scooted further away from him. "Don't be upset ok? I just wanted to know you."
"First of all what are you like 27? And I don't even know your name." I was packing my book away into my bag because I also noticed that the bus will be here in about 7-8 minutes. He looked away from me and sighed,
"Please don't be angry." I laughed nervously and said, "I'm not mad, just a little confused why you, a grown man, would ever say anything to that to a 16 year old girl."
"I'm not 27, I'm 30." I feel my face go wrong and he continued, "and my mine is Lineal."
"Is you being 30 making it any better? I am 16 that is jail time for you." I see that the bus is coming and I stand up and adjust my top.
"The bus is coming."
"Well what is your name?" He asked me when we were walking to get on the bus.
"It's Trixie."
On the bus Lineal sat with me and I scooted as far to the window as possible.
"Please don't touch me." I tell him Nicely. He looked at the pace between us and nodded his head. On the ride we didn't say anything to one another. Out of the corner of my eye I could tell he would look at me and then look away. I mean I can't say I'm not flattered. I do think he is pretty good looking for a 30 year old. That is why I thought he was in his twenties. I steal a glance at his face when he was looking away from me and I smiled a little and felt kinda bad for being kinda rude. Just between us I've always had a thing for older men. Not like senior old but around 30s.
He looked at me and I blushed a little and looked away. I watched out of the window at the building that we past. I kinda wanted to know more about this man and why is he interested in me for?
"What are you thinking about?" He asked with his eyebrow raised. I shook my head and replied, "nothing." He smirked and rolled his eyes.
The bus came to a stop at my stop and I stood up to leave. I looked at him and then at his legs, tell him he needed to move so I could get off.
"I know you can talk Trixie." I looked around and then back at him, "please move your legs Lineal.
