Chapter 10

The doorbell goes off. Mark places Tiffany on the sofa, gives her one last kiss before getting up on his feet. He unlocks the door and finds Tim staring at him. Tim passes between his legs and walks inside. He spots Tiffany on the sofa and sits down next to her. 'Hey, sweety. Did you come to play?' She pats him on his head. Tim nods his head and gives the bag that he has with him to her. She receives it and opens the bag. 'Mommy made us food so we can eat together.' Tiffany smiles. It makes Tim blush. 'That is so nice of her. Tell her that I'm thankful.' Mark put on a sleeveless shirt and drops next to Tim on the sofa. 'Now that the family is complete. What should we do? Go out and play? How about going to the theme park?' Tim jumps up and down. He likes the idea. 'Yes, Let's go now!' Tiffany is kind of concerned. 'I'm not in a healthy state right now. To look out for a little child in a theme park is not a good idea. Is going to the zoo better?' Let's leave the theme park for another time.' Tim looks at Tiffany with a sad face. 'Are you sick?' Tiffany hugs Tim. 'A little, but it's only for a short time. When I am better again, we will go to wherever you want. So is the zoo okay for today?' He nods his head. 'I'm okay with everything.' They get up. Mark put on his pants and went next door with Tim to request permission from Tim's mother, while Tiffany prepares a bag with necessary stuff for the trip.

Tim is jumping up and down at the entrance of the national zoo. The lady behind the counter gives them a map of the big zoo. 'Where should we go first?' Says Tiffany to Tim. Tim looks at the map. 'Hmm. Can we go to see the lions first?' He asks cutely. Tiffany is blown away by him. 'Oh my gosh. Of course, we can, honey. We have the whole day to go and see all of the animals. Just for you.' But little Mark is sad that Tiffany is only paying attention to Tim. He wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her in. 'Don't you think that you are having to much fun without me? The moment that little dwarf is in your view. You toss me into a corner. I also want your attention.' Tiffany pushes Mark's arm away. 'Sir. Behave in front of him. I'll give you all the attention once we get back home.' She walks to Tim to hold his hand. 'You promise that?' No taking your words back!' Mark stands next to Tiffany. 'I promise you, you slut.' She whispers the last words.

They arrive at where the lions stay. Tim glued himself against the thick glass that divides his and the big lions place. 'They are so cool!' He is smiling from ear to ear. One of the male lions comes closer and stops in front of Mark. They stare at each other for a long time until the male lion yawns before he turned away to walk back to his den. 'What did he say?' Asks Tiffany in amusement while Tim has his eyes fixed on Mark in amazement. He leans to her ear. 'He told me that I have a sexy wife.' Tiffany bobs her head. 'Hmm. Interesting. Both animals are thinking in the same way.'

The next animal they visit is the turtles. The four large turtles are walking around. Tim sees an information board and begins to read. 'It says that they can live up to 150 years. That is so long. But what are they eating to live that long?' He asks. Tiffany comes down next to Tim. 'Well, it says here that they eat vegetables only. And some species are hunters, so they eat meat.' Tim nods his head as if he understands it. 'I like vegetables. Carrots are my favorite.' Tiffany pats his head. 'That's great. You are lucky because I have some with me. Do you want some?' Tim smiles and nods his head. Tiffany points out her finger to Mark and signs him to come. Mark obeys her sign. She zips open the bag pack and takes out the carrots from the air tide container. Tim is having a blast.

It's getting late. The zoo notifies everyone that it will close the doors for today and asks the visitor to carefully walk towards the exits. Tim is exhausted, and so is Tiffany. She can't feel her legs. The pain is also coming back. Tim pulls on Mark's pants while looking him in his eyes. He wants him to carry Tim in his arms. 'I'm tired.' He says. Mark bends down and scoops him up. The moment Tim gets up, he lays his head on Mark's shoulder while hugging him. His eyes are forcefully shutting down. Mark could hear him snooze.

Tiffany rushes to the toilet. Mark puts down the bag pack on the kitchen table. He stretches out his tired body and grabs his stiff neck with his hand to squeeze. Tiffany sees what he is doing. 'Do you want me to massage it?' He shakes his head. 'No, it's fine. You're also tired. Can't make my pretty wife use her pretty fingers and hurt herself.'

'So you don't want the promised attention? Fine with me.' Says Tiffany. That's when it hit Mark. 'No, don't. I desperately need attention. Come here.' Tiffany smiles and walks to him. He gives her a big hug before raising her. 'Let's go to our bedroom. I'm too tired to do anything right now!'

In the meanwhile, at the homes of the two ex-boyfriends. Both Adam and Brendon have received a small unknown package. No sender information has been included in the box, which contained a smartphone. Adam unlocked the phone with a confused face. What can it be? But the phone is empty, except that there is a video stored in the gallery. He played the video and is surprised. The video contains him having fun with all kinds of females up until the most recent one. The sentence at the end of the video shows that it also has been sent to his wife and the boss. Brendon also received the same video with him as the leading actor. Since he is not married, the once that got the video to send to them is his current girlfriend and the whole company that he owns. After watching the video once, it got deleted. The first one to get a call is Adam. The called id showed his wife. The phone kept ringing for about three times. Adam did not dare to pick up that call. He knows that it's over for him. Brendon, at the same time, got a call from his secretary. She informed him about the current situation within the company. It does not sound all too good. Some of the workers are in an uproar against him. A president of a small company can't be like this or at least should do anything to prevent his private life from leaking out like that.

Three days later. Tiffany is watching the news. The reporter states that. 'These two unlucky men received a phone through the mail. They are claiming that the video inside the anonymous phone was fake or something from his past days. It ruined their lives. Male A said that his wife is going to divorce him. His wife said that she was always aware of him going out to have fun with young girls and night. She held it in just for their new-born baby. It's over now. As for Male B, his company protested for him to resign from his president position. They don't need a boss who can't keep his hands to himself and become a laughingstock to others. Once trash, always trash. We will end our news with this.' What a weird news. It's straight out a gossip magazine. She zaps further through the channels.
