Chapter Two
"Thanks again Amanda." Said Maureen as she stood out on the porch, with her things.
"No problem Maureen. You know you're always welcome here."
"Yeah. Talk to you later" Maureen waves to Amanda as she drives off. Maureen's turns the radio on, driving home with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Joanne is still in bed, crying. Not because she was sad anymore but she was glad. She was glad that Maureen and herself had gotten back together. She wiped her eyes and got out of bed. She walked into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee and grabbed the eggs from the fridge. She began making breakfast for both Maureen and herself. She grabbed the bacon from the freezer and placed it on the microwave. She set it on defrost for five minutes. As she began making the eggs, she heard the front door open. A huge smile sparkled on her face; Maureen was home. She quickly turned around and rushed to the front door. She ran towards Maureen and pulled her into a huge hug. She pulled herself away slowly and looked deeply into Maureen's eyes. "I missed you" confessed Joanne. Her eyes began to water over. She quickly placed her lips gently on Maureen's. She kissed her passionately, running her fingers through Maureen's hair, as a tear trailed down her cheeks. When they parted, there was a small smile on Maureen's face. She placed her hand on Joanne's cheek, wiping away the tears with her thumb. "It's ok Pookie" reassured Maureen. Joanne nodded as she looked down. Maureen gently placed her index finger under her chin, lifting her head up enough so their eyes met. "It's ok" Maureen said as she placed her lips on hers.
Then a high pitch ringing filled the room. They broke apart, looking around franticly. The fire alarm had gone off.
"Shit!" exclaimed Joanne. She ran into the kitchen to find the eggs burnt in the skillet. Smoke was coming from the skillet, filling the entire kitchen. Maureen followed Joanne; seeing the smoke she dashed over to the window and opened it, letting the smoke escape. Joanne turned the stove off, waving the smoke away from her face. Maureen turned around from the window, watching Joanne. "Well that went to hell" said Joanne. Joanne sighed deeply as she turned around, placing her hands on her hips. Maureen smiled at her comment as she casually walks over towards her.
"You were never much of a cook anyway" commented Maureen as she wrapped her arms around Joanne's waist, pulling her closer to her. "That's why they have take-out" Maureen smiled, placing a quick kiss on Joanne's lips. Maureen then turned around and walked into the living room. Joanne only watched her as she left without a word.
"I can to cook" Joanne commented to herself. She walked around the kitchen, cleaning things up a bit. She tossed the burnt food into the garbage and then tossed the skillet into the sink. She went to the cabinet and grabbed a coffee cup. She filled it with some coffee and sugar. Then she slowly walked into the living room, sipping her coffee. As she looked up at Maureen, she ended up spitting her coffee out. What she saw surprised her.
TBC….
