"Please honey you can tell me," Tom said following Lynette around the kitchen.
"Tom its Rachel's private business. I promised to keep it a secret," Lynette replied with annoyed tone of voice. She was getting tired of Tom's constant questions about her and Rachel in college.
As Lynette lay awake that night she couldn't help thinking about Rachel.
FLASHBACK
"You're not going to tell anyone about us right?" Rachel asked Lynette.
"Of course not," Lynette replied.
"You promise?" Rachel said.
"I promise," Lynette said.
"Good," Rachel replied and leaned in to kiss Lynette.
END FLASHBACK
Lynette woke up with Tom arms around her.
"Morning beautiful," Tom said.
"Good morning," Lynette replied.
"I forgot to tell
you. I invited Carlos for dinner tonight," Tom said.
"Tom why
do you tell me this now! This means I have to go to the grocery store
and cook plus I have a million other things to do," Lynette said in
an annoyed tone of voice.
"Lynnie relax. I already bought the food. You can invite Rachel if you want," Tom replied.
"Fine," Lynette said as she walked into the bathroom.
That afternoon Lynette walked up the block to the small doctor's office Rachel worked at.
"Is Rachel Cooke working today?" she asked the secretary.
"She with a patient but you can wait for her. She'll only be a few minutes longer,"
Lynette went and sat in the waiting room. A few minutes later Rachel walked out the examining room and saw Lynette.
"Hi," Rachel said.
Lynette looked up from
the magazine she was reading.
"Hey Rach,"
"So what's up,"
Rachel asked.
"I know its short notice but you can come over
for dinner tonight?" Lynette replied.
"Sure what time?"
"Is 6:30 good?"
"Yeah see you then,"
"Hi I'm Carlos,"
"I'm Rachel,"
Carlos and Rachel shake hands.
Lynette walked into the living room.
"Dinners ready," she said.
After dinner Tom and Carlos were talking in the kitchen.
"Rachel seems a
little strange," Carlos said.
"Strange? How?" Tom asked.
"Every time I would try to flirt with her she would tense up," Carlos replied.
"Lynette didn't tell?" "Tom said.
"What?" Carlos
asked.
"She's a lesbian,"
"The next left," Rachel said to Carlos as he drove her home.
"How about we turn around and go back to my place," Carlos said.
"Carlos I'm not
going to have sex with you," Rachel replied.
"Who says we
have to have sex?" Carlos asked.
"Just take the next left,"
"Are you alright Rachel?"
"Why?"
"Because
you're just sitting in my car bored. You got something on your
mind?"
"Its nothing just
drop me off here,"
"Give me a call sometime," Carlos said
and drove away.
