Locked In Love

Chapter Seventeen

Zaviers pov

Last night was amazing we had decided this morning we would take Tom to dog park this weekend and meet up with her friend and As we strolled toward the park, the sunshine played with shadows on the pavement, but my mind was somewhere else all I could think about was her laying in my bed this morning and how beautiful her white skin looked against my red sheets.

“I brought him a toy” she told me and handed me a dark green Frisbee with Tom engraved on it. I threw it and Tom ran after it and brought it back to me. I smiled and took it out of his mouth throwing it again “ hey zavier what are we?” She asked and before I could answer the frisbee landed at a guy's feet and Tom started growling and barking at this random stranger I snapped my finger and Tom came and sat at my feet. Zora grabbed my hand and squeezed it and I knew something was wrong because she had never acted like this.

I felt my phone vibrate and the message on it caused my heart to sink.

It’s my Ex. I quickly nodded to show her I understood what she meant. I squeezed her hand and started walking away with her when this guy just comes up to us. “Hey Zora how ya been?”.

I refuse to talk to him he was making my anxiety worse I started to pet Tom and he licked my hand I nudged Zaviers hand to get me away and I know he understood me when he squeezed my hand back. Just as zavier tried to start talking I heard her a familiar voice and Seth looked up and his eyes went white. “ I knew I smelled more then just dog sit in the park” I turned my hand and saw her and ran into her arms Myra was home for winter break and Seth hated Myra.

I grabbed zaviers hand and introduced them and then I showed Myra Tom and how cute he was. He jumped up on Myra and gave her face kisses. Seth got tired of being iignored

”myra this is zavier my frie” zavier nudged me and said to Myra “I’m zavier Robert’s her boyfriend it’s nice to meet you “ he smiled and wrapped his right arm around me hiding his left arm.

My heart skipped a beat as our eyes met. Memories flooded back — the laughter, the tears, the shared moments and all the pain he had caused me and now tucked away in the corners of my mind. He looked different, yet oddly familiar, his presence stirring a mix of emotions within me.I tried to compose myself, to focus on Zavier's antics, but the past lingered like a shadow, casting doubt upon the present.

Myra grabbed my arm and pulled me away and close to the dog bakery close to the dog park and I could calm my breathing down. Zavier walked behind us and when he say I could Not calm down he Asked me if I wanted to go home I shook my head I wanted to catch up with Myra it had been so long since we had seen each other and the moment we started talking it was like she Never left.
