Lena didn't know what to think. Her wife had just visited her for lunch and five minutes after she left she had her hands all over another woman. Guilt started to wash over her again. Looking back during that time of passion she felt she was replaying someone else's memory. That wasn't me. I don't even think Monte is that attractive. When I was single I would have never gone for a woman like her. But it was her. It was her lips and her hands that touched the body of someone else. Lena looked down at her hands as if they were dirty. She replayed the memory again and again. She felt guilty because she had enjoyed it.
Later that evening all the kids were attending different activities. She ordered pizzas for everyone knowing they would be home at different times. After finishing the paper work she had brought home she finally had a chance to sit down and eat. By this time everyone was home except for Brandon and Stef. She had just finished her second slice when the front door opened. "Hey guys." She heard Stef say as she walked into the house. "In here babe." She replied. Stef walked into the kitchen and smiled at Lena who was sitting with four boxes of pizza in front of her. "Pizza night?" Stef questioned. "Yea, everyone had plans tonight, so I figured pizza would be the easiest solution." Lena said as she stood up to put her plate in the sink. Stef walked over and wrapped her arms around her. "I love pizza nights." She whispered as she kissed Lena's neck. Guilt flooded over Lena. Monte had just kissed that same spot hours before. "And I also love you." Stef said kissing Lena's jaw. Lena turned around. "How was your day baby?"
"Oh it was incredibly boring. A few citations and that's it. Paper work, paper work, and more paper work." Stef said with a sigh as she sat down at the table. It wasn't me. Lena kept thinking over and over again. She now believed that it truly wasn't her.
"Callie made coffee." Stef said as Lena walked into the kitchen the next morning. "I think I'm going to make the coffee making Callie's new chore. What do you think love?" Lena smiled. "I think that's a wonderful idea." She said reaching for the pot. It was a smooth morning. Stef left as Lena loaded her car full of kids, except Brandon who had spent the night with Mike.
"Jude, your lunch!" She said as they all unloaded themselves from her car and began to walk toward the school. "Thanks Moma." He said taking the bagged lunch from her. Lena smiled as she watched him run to catch up with Callie and the twins.
"You can tell he really loves you." Lena turned her head but she already knew who was speaking to her. Monte was parked two spaces over. "I love him like he's my own." Lena replied watching Monte dig through the trunk of her car. "Can you carry this in for me?" She said pulling box out. "Sure." Lena said moving her purse from her hand to her shoulder. "It's heavy." Monte said as she handed the box over. The box was heavy, very heavy. The younger woman pulled out another box and managed to shut her trunk. They both walked into the school together.
"What's in the boxes?" Lena asked. "Bricks?"
Monte laughed. "No, just some old donated books that I need to sort through before I send them to our library. The kids set up donation boxes in town. I picked these up this morning on my way here. I made the mistake last week by taking a box directly to the library. Well, the librarian.. What's his name?"
"Kylesner. Tom Kylesner." Lena said. "Oh yes, Kilsner, he just put the books right on the shelves." "Kylesner." Lena said again smiling at Monte as they walked into her office. "Where do you want them?" She asked. "My desk is fine." Monte replied.
Lena set her box on the desk, rubbed her back and asked "So what happened?"
"Let's just say the books were fine, but a few dirty magazines made it on the shelves as well." She said with a laugh.
"No way!" Lena said smiling widely. "Yes way, guess who found them?" "Who?" Lena replied quickly. "Old lady, AP French teacher. That's who!" They both laughed together. "Can you imagine the look on her face!?" Monte snorted.
"Are you okay?" Monte asked. "What? Yes, I'm fine." Lena replied.
"I noticed you rubbing your back. Are you okay? Was the box to heavy?"
"It was heavy yes, but I'm fine. I may have slept funny." She said. "That was sweet of you to ask." She added quickly.
"Did I make you blush?" Oh god. Am I flirting?
"Yes, you did." Monte said as her blush turned a deeper shade of red. "You make me blush at the mere thought of you Lena."
Lena wasn't sure how to reply. They just stood there looking at each other. Something about Monte's blush made her look exposed.
The office phone rang. "Hello?" Monte answered. "Uh-huh, yes, yes, that's fine. Oh, you can ask her-" Monte said looking at Lena. "She's right here." "Who is it?" mouthed Lena. "Yes, yes, that's great. Okay. Here she is." Monte said holding the phone out for Lena. "It's Mrs. Roberts." Monte said with a smile.
Lena took the phone from Monte, smacking her playfully with her other hand. Mrs. Roberts was a head of fundraising for the school. She was a very nice older lady but she talked a lot. "Hey, Mrs. Roberts. How are you? Oh, I'm fine, thank you for asking-it's when? Does she have the information?" Lena was leaning against the desk, fidgeting with the phone cord. Monte walked up to her, she traced Lena's bare collar bone lightly with her finger. She absentmindedly pushed Monte's hand away and turned around. "Okay, oh, how many people?"
Monte came closer to her from behind, she placed her hands on Lena's waist. Feeling the curves of Lena's body, she could hear her fumble over her words. Monte pushed herself against Lena and ran her hands from Lena's hips, up her shirt over her breast while kissing her neck. Lena took a quick breath and tilted her head to the opposite side giving Monte more skin. "Wow, no, I didn't read that article-" She said. Monte nibbled the curly haired woman's neck, hearing a small moan she sucked on it just a little. She was still standing behind Lena, bodies pressed together; she put both hands on her hips to pull her even closer. Feeling Lena's firm butt pressed into her front. She moved her right hand from Lena's hip to underneath her shirt; she dipped her hand between the top of her skirt and skin. Lena quickly turned around, Monte smiled at her. She pushed herself against Lena's front, hands running underneath the loose fitting shirt.
Monte was too distracted and she didn't hear the other woman hang up the phone. "Monte." Lena whispered. Monte caught the whisper with a kiss. Lena tried to pull away but couldn't. She wanted it. She finally was able to whisper.. "I'm married.
