Chapter 10

Lynette got off the phone with the boys school and ran up stairs to her bedroom. Laying down on her bed she began to think about what to do next. Just then her cell phone went off, it was Rose.

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetie what are you up to?"

"A lot, well you won't believe it. Tom moved out of the house, he moved in with one of our friends, Carlos."

"You're kidding? You have the house?"

"Yeah I have the house."

"Oh that's great! That means the kids won't have to move and they're going to have more space then if they stayed in my apartment. But hey listen, I have good news too."

"Yeah, what is that?"

"I'm getting off at one thirty today, and it's already one."

"Oh that's awesome. Oh we've been invited to a dinner party by one of my good friends named Bree, remember you met her son at the Pizzeria that night."

"Oh yeah, sure sounds like fun. Well baby I got to go they're paging me in trauma."

"Oh, okay well I see you back at the apartment at one thirty okay?"

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too."

Click.

Lynette laid on the bed thinking to herself. Am I really going through with this? Can I do this? She sat up when she heard her door bell ring. It was Susan Mayer, her neighbor.

"Oh hey Susan come on in."

Susan walked in and looked around at the somewhat empty house. She looked over at Lynette who looked like she was excited but anxious at the same time.

"I came over to tell you I can't make it to the dinner tonight, I have to go to Mike's sister's house, we're having dinner together tonight."

"Oh okay, well I'll be sure to tell Bree for you."

Susan sat down on the couch and watched as Lynette walked into her kitchen to check for something. Lynette could sense there was another reason that Susan came over besides to tell her she wouldn't be there tonight.

"Well I also came over to find out this big thing that Bree is anxious to find out. She said that you left Tom for someone else, who is this someone else? Come on Lynette tell me."

"Well I don't think I should I mean you will find out sooner or later."

"I'd rather find out sooner though. Come on who is he? Is he smart? How'd you meet him?"

"Well if I tell you, you can't tell anyone okay?"

"Sure I swear it's between me and you that's it. So who is he?"

"It's not a "he" per say"

"Huh? I don't understand." Susan said with a look of utter confusion on her face.

"It's a "she" and her name is Rose. I met her way back when I was growing up and that's all I'm going to say about it."

"So wait you're a lesbian?"

"Yeah I am, or bisexual, I'm still not sure of that."

"Well have you told anyone else?"

"No, well yes, but not all the details, just that I'm leaving Tom for someone else."

"Oh well, your secret is safe with me don't worry I won't tell a soul."

"Thanks Susan." Lynette said, looking at her watch as she said it, it was almost 1:15, she needed to get going soon if she was going to meet up with Rose.

Lynette ran down the stairs and grabbed her cell phone which had started ringing

It was Rose once again.

Susan had gotten up and motioned to Lynette that she was leaving.

"I'm just going to leave right now I can see your busy." Susan said, grabbing her cell phone and walking out.

"Hey sweetie, I'm getting ready to clock out and then I'm going to grab a quick lunch in the cafiteria and then leave. Do you need anything from the store?"

"Oh thats great, no I don't need anything from the store, I'm about to leave the house right now, Tom is picking the kids up and he has Penny."

"What!? You let that psycho path take the kids? Are you out of your god for saken mind?!"

"Rose calm down, it's okay Carlos is with him and Penny wanted her father and I need him to pick up the kids so we can go to the lawyer's place today remember?"

"Oh okay well if thats what you want then thats fine with me."

"Rose relax, Carlos won't let anything happen to them."

"Alright well I'll see you back at the ?"

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you to." Click.
