Figuring It Out

Chapter Twenty Two

Two weeks later
Gina,

The girls and I are going to the beach. I have honestly missed them. I've been spending a lot of time doing photo shoots and doing skits with Jessica and all these other people.

I got a text from Jessica saying that they're outside. I grabbed my bag and left the house. I made sure to lock the door.

"Hey." I greeted the girls. They said hey back. Stephanie was driving while Jessica was in the passenger seat. Nada and I are in the back of the car.

"I was wondering if you could set me up with one of Aug's friend?" Nada asked. "Is there anyone specific?" I wondered. "Chris." She smiled.

Just by her saying his name she was already smiling. "I can make that happen." I mentioned.

"Thanks so much G." She thanked. "Oh don't thank me yet you've gotta pay me." I put my hand out.

"You are really tripping." She said. "Nah. It's just a joke." I laughed. She nodded.

It didn't take us long to get there. We each got out and laid on a chair under the sun. I put my sunglasses on and started tanning.

It's been an hour that we've been under the sun. "We should go for a swim." Jessica suggested. We all agreed with her.

"Isn't that..." Stephanie trailed off. "I thought he was dead." Jessica said. I looked the other way.

I saw Drew. I blinked multiple times to see if I'm not dreaming. I wasn't dreaming. He's coming this way.

I'm pretty sure I heard on the news that he was murdered. "Can I talk to you?" He asked. "Talk." I said. "In private."

I don't think it's a good idea to talk to him in private. Who knows what he can do to me?

"I'd rather not." I said. "I get it." He said. He sat on the chair on my right side.

"We should let y'all talk." Stephanie said. "Please stay." I was desperate. "Ok." Stephanie decided.

I turned my head the other way to look at him. "Didn't you get murdered?" I asked. "No someone stoled my identity." He answered.

"So the person that got murdered wasn't you?" I asked for clarification. "It wasn't me." He assured me.

"Did you get any of my missed calls or voicemails?" I wondered. "I did. I know that we're...broken up and you're back with your ex." He seemed sad about saying that last sentence.

I didn't put that I was back with August in the voicemail. He probably found out over social media.

"I should probably go swimming with the girls." I said. "I was wondering if we can be friends." He insisted.

August wouldn't like that Drew's alive and that I still talk to him. "That wouldn't be a good idea." I said. "Ok." He said. A little girl ran to Drew.

"Uncle Drew can we go get ice cream?" The girl asked. "Sure." He smiled. He took the little girl's hand and walked away.

I want a little girl so bad. August and I haven't had time to make a baby. The girls didn't ask anything because they heard everything.

"Are we going to go swimming?" Nada asked. "Yeah let's go." I said.
