Chapter 26
Lin sat in the living room, feeling shaken up about the news she was told. She sighed and got up to make herself some tea.
'I need to tell him. But he said he didn't have feelings for me. I can't believe I was stupid for even having an affair with him.' She was thought to herself as she waited for her tea to brew.
"Mom? Are you home?" Lin heard Jade's voice come through the door.
"In the kitchen." Lin yelled back. She heard Jade's footsteps get louder as she approached the kitchen.
"Hi mom. What are you making?" Jade asked as she came in.
"Making some tea. Would you like some?"
"No thanks. Bolin took me to a cafe after our adventure an they served the best coffee." Jade said, thinking about her date with Bolin.
"That's nice honey." Lin said as she took the kettle off the stove when it started screaming. She got a cup down and poured herself some tea.
"Well, I'm going to be in my room if you need me." Jade said, skipping down the hall.
Lin heard her bedroom door slam shut and walked over to the couch. She got the newspaper and opened it to read.
'Who needs him? I already have something he gave me, our daughter.'
Tenzin sat in his office on the island, trying to focus on his work, but thoughts of Lin being possibly pregnant kept flooding his mind.
"Dear? May I come in?" He heard Lena's voice cone through the door. He sighed and said, "Yes you may."
Pema came in and locked the door behind her. Tenzin quickly looked up but glanced back down at the paper he was currently reading.
"I got the kids to bed. Why don't we have some alone time?" Pema asked him seducively. Tenzin finally looked up to get a good look at Pema. She had on a thin silk robe and her brown hair was out of it's usual bun and was flowing down her shoulders in gentle curls.
"Not tonight. I need to finish this propsosal for the city." He said and looked back down at the paper.
He heard Pema come over and pushed the papers aside and sat down on his desk. She was teasing him with the ends of her robe and looked over at him, her eyes covered in lust.
"Please honey? We haven't down this since I got pregnant with Rohan. Can we please do this?" Pema whined, now pushing the robe over her bust.
"Pema, no. I need to finish this." He silently yelled at her sternly. He slightly pushed her off his desk and got the papers from the floor when she moved them.
Pema looked shocked and hurt when Tenzin got mad at her. She felt foolish and began crying softly.
Tenzin noticed at stood up, walking over towards her. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry.
"I'm sorry dear. I just have alot on my mind is all. If you want to, I guess I can take a break." He said. Pema looked at him and wiped away her tears. He bent down and kissed her. She responded by kissing him back. They shared a night of passion in his office, but neither of them cared.
Jade sat in her room, her guitar on her lap. She strummed a melody and tuned her guitar. She finished and began strumming a song she learned a few years back. She hummed the song as she began singing.
"I was doing just fine, till you messed with my mind
Why'd you have to be so perfect?
Now you're stuck in my head, I'm losing sleep over it
I don't know what I'm be objected
Having trouble staying focused
Can't pretend that I don't notice
How you make me feel inside
I get so distracted
When you come around
My head hits the clouds
I can't seem to concentrate at all
Don't you know that
I get so distracted
When I see your face
I get caught in a daze
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I get so distracted
Distracted, distracted by you
By you, that's right
I wonder if you're aware
I really don't mean to stare
But you know I just can't help it
I try to stay in control
Yes I do but I don't
Well I guess I must be losin' it
Having trouble staying focused
Can't pretend that I don't notice
How you brought me out of my mind
I get so distracted
When you come around
My head's in the clouds
I can't seem to concentrate at all
Don't you know that
I get so distracted
When I see your face
I get caught in a daze
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I get so distracted
Distracted, distracted by you
What have you done to me
I'm not the one I used to be
You got me all confused
But maybe that's just what you meant to do
Having trouble staying focused
Caught up in the action
So I'm thinking about you all of the time
I get so distracted
When you come around
My head's in the clouds
I can't seem to concentrate at all
Don't you know that
I get so distracted
When I see your face
I get caught in a daze
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I get so distracted."
She finished the song and sighed. She was proud of herself for remembering how to play the song again. She put the guitar away when she heard someone knocking on her door.
"Come in." She said as she placed the guitar in it's case. Lin walked in and sat down next to her.
"I heard you singing. You have a wonderful voice." Lin said as Jade looked away sheepishly.
"Really? I mean, I have a good voice and I won the talent show in seventh grade, but I never consider myself as wonderful." Jade said making Lin smile.
"You really do have a wonderful voice sweetie. I'm going to sleep now. Will you be going in with me tomorrow morning?" Lin asked as she stood up.
"Yeah." Jade said as she tried to hold back a yawn.
"Well, you better get to bed too." Lin said teasing as she closed the door when she left. Jade fell asleep a few minutes later, dreaming about unicorns and rainbows.
In the morning, Tenzin awoke and saw his wife sleeping nude next to him. He groaned, knowing he shouldn't have, but he did apologize and let her gave what she wanted.
He looked over at the clock and jumped out of bed. He was late for work and there was a council meeting he had to prepare for.
'Oh spirits. I'm late. I wanted to talk to Lin.' He thought to himself as he quickly jumped in the shower. He quickly dressed and skipped breakfast as he grabbed his glider and flew towards the city.
At the police station, Jade sat down in her new uniform as she watched Lin do some paperwork. Jade got tired of watching, so she pulled out a book and began reading.
"Chief, councilman Tenzin is here and is requesting to see you." Deena said, slightly opening the door.
"I'm too busy. Tell him to come some other time." Lin said not looking up from the report she was reading.
Deena left the office and went to the front desk.
"I'm sorry, but sh said to come some other day." Deena told a red faced Tenzin, who was catching his breath from his rushing around.
"Deena please let me see her." He said.
"Councilman, she said that if you came, you would have to deal with me. I'm sorry but she said no." Deena said shooing him off.
'Did she really hear mine and Pema's conversation? I hope she didn't.' Tenzin thought worryingly to hinself as he walked away from the police station and headed towards work.
A/N: Yeah, I'm sorry if it don't make sense. The song is called "Distracted" by KSM. I've been listening to their music for awhile now and I have to say, they are really good. I forgot to put disclaimer on, so I don't own LOK. Well please leave a review.
