Stef met Jenna and Kelly in a baseball match a month ago. She did not have many girl-friends because of her work but when she started talking with them, they immediately felt a connection. She spent a great time with them and for that few hours she forgot that she was four-month pregnant and four-month married to a man she didn´t love the way she think she should love someone. She married Mike because he got her pregnant. And now, a month ago, five-month pregnant and five-month married she was leaving home because her husband was an alcoholic, was becoming aggressive and she feel she was doing more harm continuing with that loveless marriage.
-Hi, Stef. How you doing?
-Hi Jenna –Stef was crying while telling Jenna hi.
-Sweetheart, why are you crying?
-I…I'm leaving home and…and I…I feel so embarrassed telling you this but….Can I stay with Kelly and you a couple of days until I find a new place? If you know someone…I don't want to be an…
-Stef, Stef honey, is ok. You can stay with us, the only problem is that we have a friend here, Lena. She is staying with us a couple days too while her apartment is being disinfected.
-Ok, is no problem, I can sleep in the sofa if is necessary. Thank you Jenna, thank you.
In less than half an hour Stef was in her new friends apartment but so nervous to call them. She and Mike had had a long talk and tomorrow she'll be calling her lawyer to send him the divorce paper. She knocked on the door and Kelly open it with a beautiful but compassionate smile on her face. They kiss and Kelly led her to the living room where a beautiful brunette with a pencil skirt, a red blouse and massy curly hair was drinking some wine while chatting with Jenna. "She must be Lena, is beautiful" Stef was open mouthed by the look in front of her.
Jenna hug her and smile at her girlfriend, knowing the effect that Lena have on women, even straight women. –Stef, this is Lena, our best friend from college, Lena this is Stef, our new friend.
-Hi, Lena Adams. Nice to meet you
"What a beautiful voice"-Stef thought
-Hi, Stef Foster. Nice to meet you too
They shook hands and if Stef thought she had a connection with Jenna and Kelly the first day they met when she shook hands with Lena she felt like she was in heaven.
-Stef, let me get your suitcase to the guest room. Lena and you had to share the room and the bed…do you mind?
-No, of course, no, but I can sleep on the couch if Lena feel uncomfortable…for me is not a problem.
-No…for me neither. It would be like a camp.
The four women spend the day talking about their lives, about pregnant issues or about their jobs. Suddenly it was 5 and Jenna and Kelly had a dinner with some friends so Lena and Stef were alone at the apartment.
-Are you hungry? I can make something for the two of us. I don't know..what do you want? A salad? Meat? Take out? –Lena was so nervous at that point that Stef have to squeeze her hand to make her stop
-First of all, yes I'm hungry, second of all, both of us will make dinner so…What we can do? Maybe a salad and some enchiladas? I love Mexican food .
-Of course, let's see what we can do –Lena start walking to the kitchen –I know this house like mine, actually, I think I spend more time in here that in my own apartment.
Both women start laughing while Lena pulled everything needed for dinner and Stef set the table. –You want to make the salad or you prefer to cook?
-Believe me, is better if I prepare the salad –Stef chuckle – I'm not good at cooking. All my life I have eat take out or pre-cooked food, I'm not healthy at all.
-Wo-ho, I'm the healthiest woman in the world. I love salads, and vegetables, of course pasta is my favorite food but is not healthy at all. You make the salad, I make the enchiladas, wine for me and… for you?
-For me orange juice please.
They seemed to be the perfect team because in less than twenty minutes they were eating and Stef was feeling like she was in heaven again.
-Oh my god Lena, this is delicious. Even better that in Mexican places. How did you learn to cook this?
-Everything I know about cooking is from my Mama because she has traveled around the world
-Wow, ¿and you? ¿You've traveled around the world?
-When I was little, on holidays my parents took me with them travel, I had been in Paris, London, Madrid, even in Russia and a couple of months ago I was in Paris again finishing my degree.
-Brilliant, I only have been in LA and Florida, I had never left the country. And now I'm here, not knowing how the world looks like, in a divorce and pregnant looking for a new place to live.
-¿You're looking for a place? I had a guest room I'm trying to rent. Actually, my apartment is near the precinct and near my school so…If you want you can stay with me.
.¿Seriously? –Lena nodded in acceptance with a big beautiful smile on her face, that big brown eyes connecting with Stef's hazel eyes. –Thank you Lena, but…are you sure I will not be a problem? I had to stay at home since I have maternity leave for like a millions years –Stef rolled her eyes with irony – and I also have ultrasounds and that pregnant things…I don't want to be a problem.
-No, Stef, is no problem, you can stay at home, invite friends, whatever you want, I don't care. I want us to be friends and if you need someone to go with u to that ultrasounds I would be happy to go with you. But, I have to tell you something.
-Tell me
-I am a lesbian, like a long-time lesbian, ¿that's not a problem right?
-Of course not, that's change nothing. Thank you Lena, really, thank you –Stef by instinct squeezed Lena's hand and felt that energy again.
They finished having dinner and dessert, they put on their pajamas, clean the kitchen and sat down on the sofa watching a comedy film. Jenna and Kelly arrived home by 1 am and they found Stef head on Lena's shoulders and Lena's curls all over Stef face, it wasn't anything romantic but that two girls knew that one way or another Stef and Lena were meant to be together. They awakened them and send them to the guest room. First day was finally over and Stef was having a strange feeling in her heart every time she thinks about Lena Adams.
