LENA

"There is something I need to tell you," I said to Stef.

I could feel the tears rolling down my eyes.

"Ok," Stef said sitting down across from me, her legs bent and rubbing my knee. Her touch was scaring me so I moved my knee slightly from her and she looked hurt that I did that.

"I really don't know how to say this, but.. um.. I.. am sorry Stef," I said to her I just could not get the right words to come out of my mouth.

"Sorry about what, come on talk to me. I am worried love," I she said.

"Today, Monte and I had some wine before coming to the dance competition. Well we only had about 2 sips. We were celebrating getting the grants we needed for the school. I um told her some stuff and she hugged me and got really close to me and she kissed me. I kissed her back for a second and I pulled away," I am so sorry Stef it didn't mean anything.

I looked at her and her face was showing me no emotion. She blew her breath and looked at me.

"What were you talking about with her that she felt the need to kiss you," she said not emotion showing in her face.

"Umm, I was just sharing with her that I was overwhelmed and that I am not excited about the baby," I said to Stef.

"You felt like you couldn't tell me, you had to go and kiss another woman," Stef said her voice rising a little.

"She kissed me Stef."

"Ok, but when she leaned in, you didn't pull back, you lips shouldn't of even touched her Lena."

"I know Stef, I know I am so sorry but it didn't even last long it was only a second."

"It doesn't matter Lena, a kiss is a kiss, see I always knew there was something going on between you two, the way you always brought her up when we talked, and the way she looked at you when we invited her over for dinner, but I thought to myself that Lena would never do anything with this woman, it would be strictly professional, I guess I was wrong.

"Stef, you was not wrong. Our relationship is nothing it is just a professional relationship."

"Lena, it is not. It is an inappropriate work relationship, like why the hell was she bringing wine into school in the first place, both of you could get fired instantly."

"Stef, we were just celebrating."

"She could of brought a cake if you wanted to celebrate, I am actually going to step out for awhile, I need a minute to process all of this," Stef said getting up.

"Stef, I am really sorry but please don't leave though, you will worry the kids," I said to her.

"Tell them I had a errand to run and that I will be back soon," Stef said her voice on the brink of tears. And she walked out and slammed the doors. I just sat there and looked at the door and I felt tears come down my eyes. I could not believe she would walk out, but I guess she needed the time to calm down and I was going to give her the space she needed. I looked around the room and it was mess. I got up and cleaned up the mess I made and vacuumed the room up. I decided to take a shower also since I was all sweaty. I let the warm water caress my skin and try to wash away the guilt and pain I was feeling. I got out the shower and put on some house clothes. Then I heard the front door open and I knew the kids were home.

I walked downstairs and the kids were standing in the kitchen getting juice out the fridge. I needed to order pizza for them since I was in no mood to cook.

"Hey babies, I am going to go give you some money so you can order pizza," I said to them.

"Sweet," Jesus said and I smiled at him.

"Is mom home," Mariana asked me.

"Umm, no she stepped out for a minute," I said them and the twins and Brandon looked at each other.

"Are you ok mama," Brandon asked me.

I hated lying to my children but I couldn't tell them what I did to Stef.

"Yea, guys I am ok, just order your pizza and don't go to overboard, I will be upstairs," I said to them walking back upstairs to my room. I laid down on my bed, and brought out Stef and I's personal photo album. It just contained some pictures of us over the time. Some of them were so embarrassing that only we could feast our eyes on. As I looked over the photo album I couldn't help but smile and cry, I loved my wife so much. There was one picture that was recent that we took about 2 months ago. Stef was sleeping she looked so tired and worn out after I just made love to her. She looked so exhausted and out of it. I laughed at this. How could I hurt her like this. I know Stef and I have been on and off for awhile, but that does not give me an excuse to kiss someone else, especially my boss. I closed the photo album up and just laid there until I heard my phone vibrate. I looked at the front and I could not believe who texted me.

Monte: Lena can you meet me in front of the school so we can talk please.

I didn't know if I should reply back or not. I decided to get it over with.

Lena: I don't think that is a good idea

Monte: Please only for a little while, I can't sleep until I talk to you.

Lena: I can't, I am already upset as it is.

Monte: I won't do anything I promise, I can't work with you if things are awkward between us.

I had to agree with her on that last statement, since we did run the school we could not be at odds with each other. I had to go and get this over with

Lena: Meet you there in 30 minutes.

Monte: Thank you:)

I got out of bed and grabbed a pair of flats and my jacket. I walked downstairs and the kids were sitting around the TV watching a movie, 3 boxes of pizza in front of them, 2 kinds of soda, and Oreos in front of them. Usually I would scorn them for eating like this, but I am going to let it slide for tonight, since they were all so excited about the adoption of Callie.

"Um, I am stepping out for about 30 minutes. Mom should be home soon," I told them and just all just nodded not taking there eyes off the TV.

I got in my car to go see Monte.
