The alarm woke me up and it was 6:30 AM. My eyes slowly start to open, I turn on the light and the light is about to blind me, I rub my eyes and get ready for work. I jump up and quickly get dressed. I stare at the phone screen. “Shit! It’s 7 AM” I mumble. “I'm supposed to be there at 07:15!” I say. I run downstairs and booked the Uber. I walk through my workplace knowing that I’m late and I see Alaia sitting in the lobby.
“Hey, Maia..” Alaia says as she waves her hand. I walk through her in rush “Hey…” I say. “Lena asks me to wait here!” Alaia says. “She’s here?” I say. “Yes in hours…I guess” Alaia says. “Fuck…fuck…I’m late!” I mumble as I hug Alaia and run to my workplace.
I lean on my seat and turn on the computer. Lena and Alaia walk through the workplace “Attention please…” Lena stands in front of the employees and introduces Alaia as the new employee.
“Here’s Ms. Alaia Smith. She’s your work partner, please be cooperative and have a good day” Lena says as she stares at me. “And you Ms. La Luna please come to my office right now!” Lena says as she leaves the room. La luna is my last name, I got that name from my grandma. I walk through Lena’s office as I hold the papers. I open the door and come to her office. “Please…Have a sit...” Lena says.
”You're late!” Lena says as she leans onto the office seat. “I’m so sorry… I’m so tired last night, I couldn’t even hear the alarm” I say in dismay. “Hahahaha…” Lena laughs loudly as she points her eyes to mine.
“What?” I say as I highly raise an eyebrow. “I just want to see you!” Lena says as she gets closer to me, her face about 5 cm from mine. “Damn…come on… you fucking scared me” I say as I inhale deeply.
”No worries… Ms. La Luna…I’m here to save you” Lena says as she raises an eyebrow and gives me a dirty look. “Wanna go out for lunch today?” Lena says. “Sure… but if you don’t mind, can I ask Riley and Alaia to join us?” I say as I purse my lips.
“Sure!” Lena says. “Alright then!” I say and I leave Lena’s office. “What’s wrong?” Riley asks me. “Mmmm…nothing, Lena asks me to go out for lunch but I told her that you both join us!” I say.
“What the fuck…” Riley says as she rests her hand on her head and leans on the seat. “What?” I say. Riley stares at me and continues her work. I lean on the seat, close my eyes, and sigh. I point my gaze to Alaia’s desk and she focused on her job.
Meanwhile, I haven’t done my job yet. I’m about to write a new article, I turn on the computer and type what’s on my mind. I wrote ‘Is it fair to cheat on your partner?’ I finished the article and send Lena the soft copy.
Lena approved the article and the article will be on the site today. Something bothering my mind, I keep thinking about Ben. I’m not answering his calls or messages. I don’t want to answer him because I need time to figure it out. Lena texts me and asks me to out for lunch. I brought Alaia and Riley with me and we walked together. The restaurant is only 3 minutes from the office; we get into the restaurant and sit at the corner table.
“So, what would you like to eat and drink?” Lena says as she opens the menu. I order chicken fettuccine, and Lena ordered the salad. Riley and Alaia ordered beef spaghetti. “Are you a sheep?” I chuckle.
Lena raises an eyebrow as she stares at me “I’m on my diet program” Lena says. “What! You look great like this” I say. Lena chuckles as she stares at me. We eat our food and enjoy lunch “Thank you so much for the opportunity Lena” Alaia says.
“Ahhhh… That’s okay. You deserve the best” Lena says. “Anything you’ve heard about me at the workplace, all lies!” Lena says as she chews the food. Riley choked her food “Hukk… hukk” Riley stares at me as she drinks the lemon tea “I’m sorry guys” Riley says. I chuckle as I stare at Riley. “We heard a lot, Lena!” I say. “Yeah, a lot… I couldn’t believe that you are the same person as I heard” Riley says.
“I’m not the same as what people thought” Lena laughs. My phone is ringing and Ben calls me again. I silence my phone and I drink my orange juice, I act as if nothing happen. We finish our lunch and back to the office.
My phone rings once more “Fuck” I mumble as I answer the call. “Hello?” I say. “I saw your article, are you cheated on me?” Ben says as he highly raises his voice. “What do you mean?” I say.
“You cheat on me right?” Ben says in anger. “Hey, relax!” Before I finish my sentence Ben hangs up the phone. I put my phone on the desk and inhale deeply; I clear my mind as I continue my paperwork and finish my job. Time to go home, Alaia drive me home. I haven’t seen Lena since we had lunch today. My finances were unstable; I have no enough money to pay the rent. I’m about to find a roommate as soon as possible.
I arrive and I clean myself, I tried to sleep but I can’t sleep… I’m waiting for Lena to text or call me. I’m about to text her then change my mind. My bell rings I walk downstairs and open the door.
My sister, Rosa came with bruises on her face and holds her 5 months infant. I let her in and I take the bags. She sits on the couch with her baby, I walk to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for her. I sit on the couch and ask her about what happened to her and the baby.
“What happened?” I say in dismay. She’s crying with the baby in her hands. I reach over her hand “Tell me…” I say as I wipe her tears. “My husband hits me and I ran from the house!” Rosa says with tears in her eyes. I hug her and I calm her down, I take her to the guest room “You can stay here as long as you want, okay…” I say. “Thanks…” Rosa says as she hugs me. She puts the infant to sleep and I walk to my room, I lay and fall asleep.
More bells ring “Who the fuck comes to my house in the middle of the night?” I say as I get up from my bed. Rosa opened the door, I walk downstairs and I see Lena talking to my sister. “You're here...” I say as I run full speed to Lena and grab her waist, tucking my face on her shoulder. Lena wraps her arms around me and returns the favor by tightly squeezing my back. “I thought something happened to you, I’m worried!” I say in relief.
My sister walks through the guest room and Lena stares at me in confusion. “My sister and her baby just got here...” I say. “Am I disturbing your family time?” Lena says as she looks at me. “Nah…You’re not!” I say as a sweet smile comes out my face. “I miss you so much!” Lena says as she stares at me and smiles. Her sweet smile warms me “I miss you too” I say as I point my eyes to hers. I lock the front door and take Lena to my room.
“You’re hungry?” I say as I walk towards her. Lena sits on the bed as she looks around the place “Mmmm... Nope!” Lena says. I sit next to her and we stare into each other’s eyes. Lena takes my heart. “I want to be with you!” Lena says as she reaches over my hands.
I couldn’t help but stare at her lips while biting my own. My heart starts beating faster. Lena bites her bottom lips as she stares at me.
I run and quickly shut and lock the door. Lena waits for me on the bed and I proceed to jump onto Lena’s lap pushing my lips against her. She deepens the kiss by running her fingers through my hair and pulling my head to her making it so all our features are touching and so I couldn’t pull away. I slip my hands into her shirt, down her back, and grab her ass. She faintly moans into my mouth. So I decide to undo her shirt, she moans again but louder.
She pulls me away and looks me in the eyes, I whisper in a breathy moan “Take me” I say. Lena smiles as she picks me up and drops me to bed. We lock lips once more and she slips her hand across my breasts, down to my stomach and my core.
She kisses my neck as she slips her hand down to my clit and she starts to make circles. I moan and mumble under my breath. Lena stares into my eyes and talks under her breath “You like it, babe? Tell me” She says.
I’m about to speak but my sister knocks on the door. “Maia, I need help!” She yells outside. We immediately stop, Lena wears her shirt in rush. I get up and leave her on the bed alone. I run downstairs and see my sister in the kitchen.
She asks me how to turn on the water heater, she was about to make the baby’s milk. I turn on the water heater. “What the fuck Rosa! I’m about to make out and you fucking turn me off” I say as I heavily sigh.
“Gosh… I’m so sorry, I ruined your night” Rosa says as she laughs loudly. I roll my eyes in disgust. “Is she your girlfriend?” Rosa says. “Nope!” I say as I chuckle and leave her alone. I walk upstairs and close the door room.
I inhale deeply and lay down next to Lena “Uggghhh…” I groan. “What happened, babe?” Lena says as she runs her fingers through my hair gently. “My sister couldn’t turn on the water heater, she was about to feed the baby!” I say.
Lena laughs as she stares at me “Hey… That’s okay” Lena says as she looks into my eyes with a sweet smile coming through her face. I stare at her and tell nothing “Hoaafff…” I yawn. “Alright… It’s time to sleep” Lena says as she kisses my forehead gently. I smile and point my eyes to hers. Lena lay next to me; she hugs me from the back as I rest my hand on her hands. She reaches over my hand and kisses the palm of my hand and we both fall asleep.
The alarm woke me up like usual…the sun is rising. I open my eyes slowly and yawn. I take my phone to the table, turn it on and stare at the phone screen. It’s 6 AM. I lay and move my hand to Lena’s space, moving my hand, looking for her, I pull the blanket and she isn’t there. I walk to the bathroom sink and brush my teeth, stare at the mirror, and wash my face. I walk downstairs and I see Lena holding little Alison, my sister sits on the couch and Lena stood while holding Alison. “Hey, you up” Lena look at me and smile. I’m smiling and walk to the kitchen, I’m making a cup of coffee. “She slept like a baby last night!” Lena says. “I know… I’m with her in her entire life” Rosa chuckles. “Did you guys just tease me?” I yell from the kitchen. They chuckle as I walk to the living room and kiss Alison’s cheek “Hey baby bear, you woke so early” I say. I sit on the couch and hold my hot coffee. “I thought you were leaving...” I say as I stare at Lena and sip the coffee. “No… I woke up
I point my eyes to the tree behind the car’s window occasionally looking at Alison in the back seat. Lena keeps an eye on the road as she drives, little Ali sleeping in the back seat; I unwrap the chocolate cookies, and eat them. I stare at Lena as I chew the cookie “You want it?” I say. “I’m driving honey” Lena chuckles. “Lemme feed you!” I say as I run my hand to Lena’s mouth. “Ngap….” She opens her mouth and eats the cookie. “Mmm...” She chews the cookie and I eat mine. “Mmm… I love the flavor but I usually bought the peanut one” I say as chew the cookie. “I love everything about you...” Lena says in a whisper. “Pardon me? I can’t hear you” I say. “I don’t say anything!” Lena says in denial. “Aahhh...Come on!” I say as I’m begging her. Lena chuckles as she points her eyes at the road. When I look at Lena, I realize this is all I wanted, a beautiful wife, and a cute baby girl. I smile and wonder; how could someone like Lena could take my heart like this, I’m falling in love. Rosa
I walk to my room and lay on my bed. I stare at the ceiling and think. I’m thinking about what happened between me and Lena today, Lena called me her wife. I smile as I’m closing my eyes. Nothing can describe how happy I am right now. Someone’s coming, the bell rings… I walk downstairs and open the door. Ben comes and he suddenly kisses me, I push him away from me “What’s the matter with you?” I say as I highly raise my voice. “What? Am I doing something wrong?” Ben says. I inhale deeply and walk towards the living room as Ben walks behind me. Ben hugs me from the back “Hey…” He says as he put his chin on my shoulder. “I missed you!” Ben says as he runs his hand to my chest. “Gosh… Stop” I say. Ben keeps running his hand to my chest as he hugs me from the back “I haven’t touched you for a month, I miss you so much” Ben says. I push him away in anger and tell him nothing. “What?” Ben says with a slight anger in his voice. “This is not okay!” I say as I lower my voice. Ben heavily sig
Hugging in the parking lot, the cold weather accompanies us. Lena and I back to the car, little Ali still sleeping in the back seat. We are on our way, Lena keeps an eye on the road meanwhile I’m looking at the street view. I occasionally stare at Lena and look away. “Hey… can I move in tomorrow?” Lena says. I didn’t hear Lena because my eyes are focused on the view. “Maia!” Lena says. I gasp and I immediately move my head to Lena “Jeez Christ, you scared me!” I say. Lena laughs as she stares at me “I’m asking you” Lena says. “What? Sorry, I didn't hear anything” I say. “Can I move in tomorrow?” Lena says. “Umm… sure,” I say as I point my eyes to hers. “I’ll pick you up at 7 tomorrow morning!” Lena says as her eyes focus on the road. “Sure, I’ll help you move in tomorrow,” I say. Lena reaches over my hand and holds them “Thanks” Lena says as she points into my eyes. I look at hers and smile. We arrive at my apartment, Rosa is already home. Lena helping me with Ali’s things and I’m c
Sitting at the dining table together as a family, the sun accompanies our morning. I get shivers when the sun hits Lena’s brown eyes. I keep looking at her and smile, I fall over and over again… the way she talks…the way she smiles, stoles my heart. The birds sound accompanying us, the car’s horn; little Ali laughs in the living room watching her favorite cartoon. What a wonderful morning… this is the best Saturday morning I’ve ever had in my life. I walk upstairs and walk to my room, I take my phone on the bed and stare at the phone screen. I open the gallery and I see a picture of me and Ben. I’m smiling because I remember what happened that day when we took the picture together. That was last summer, Ben and I went to the Lake on the edge of the town. We swam and the leeches bite our bodies. I ran from the lake “Jeez Christ” I screamed and ran. “Damn….” Ben ran after me. That was the funniest moment I’ve ever had in my life, I even could feel the leeches till now “Ewwww….” I get
Laying on my bed; listening to music and also thinking of Lena. “Ugh...” I sigh. I’m worried about her, how if something bad happens to her or she does something bad. I can’t stop thinking about her. I reach for my phone on the bedside table and I open the gallery, I'm looking at the old pictures. I’m smiling; I see the old picture of me and Ben. I haven’t removed all of our pictures yet, there are a hundred pictures of us. I turn around and put my phone back on the bedside table. I stare at the ceiling… My phone is ringing, I reach for the phone on the bedside and stare at the phone screen. Ben calls me, what a coincidence. I pick up the phone. I hear Ben’s small breath when I pick up the phone. “Hello?” I say. “Hey, how are you?” Ben says hiding his sadness. “Umm… I’m doing well, you?” I say and sigh. “I’m fine!” Ben says. “I just saw our old pictures and what a coincidence you called me!” I say. “Mmm… I see our old pictures too, my favorite is the picture we took last summer” Ben
Cuddling on my bed, Lena is next to me, sleeping… I can feel her breath heading towards me, I run my fingers through her hair and stares at her. I take my phone and stare at the phone screen “Gosh it’s 5 PM!” I say in a whisper. I get up from the bed and leave Lena alone, I walk downstairs and I see Rosa was busy making dinner. “Where’s baby bear?” I say while grabbing cold coffee from the fridge. “She is laying on her bed with earphones in her ears…” Rosa says. “What?” I say. “You guys too loudly, so I put earphones to Ali’s ears and play the baby music on it,” Rosa says while cutting the veggies. I get closer to Rosa… “Did you hear that?” I say in a whisper. “Yes… clearly” Rosa roll her eyes. "Jeez,” I say. “Your room is only 5 meters from mine” Rosa laughs. I giggle and drink the cold coffee. “Where’s Lena?” Rosa asks me. “She’s upstairs, sleeping…” I say. “Wow she lost all of the energy because of you” Rosa stares at me and chuckles. “Uuuhh… shut up” I chuckle. ”Alaia calls me
I’m flying high like a bird but my fluttering wings can’t keep you from pulling me down cause you make me can’t stop thinking about you. I fall to your love, over and over again, the dancing curtains accompanying the night, you and I cuddling together in the same room. The best night of my life, staring into your eyes… I can see the love in your beautiful eyes and hope you see the same in mine too. Your pretty eyes remind me of Venus… why... Cause I see love and beauty deep inside it. I can say that everything in you is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I feel like I’m drowning when I’m looking deeply into your beautiful eyes. Silly me, talking to myself in silence and staring at you next to me, smiling… my mouth corner was forming into a small but sweet smile. “Hey… why are you looking at me like that?” Lena notices me looking at her with no blink. “Jeez…” I answer her. “You stare at me and smile…I thought you were possessed” Lena laughs more cutely. “Gosh… you s
