Lena looked at the ground and said, "I'm sorry, I have plans on Saturday night".

Stef dropped Lena's hands and said, "Do you have a date"?

Lena responded, "Yes, a blind date"

Stef sighed heavily before walking out the door. When she and Brandon drove away from the school, he asked "Mom, Is Ms. Adams mad at me for telling her secret".

"No Brandon, why would you say that".

"You seemed happy when you saw Ms. Adams and now you look sad. If it wasn't because I told you her secret, why are you so sad?"

"Brandon, I am a little sad, but it has nothing to do with you. I love you B."

"I Love you too Mom".

Over the next few days, when Stef dropped off or picked up Brandon from school, she made sure she stayed away from Lena's office. She even let Mike pick up Brandon on Friday even though it wasn't his weekend. She knew Brandon missed his father, so she was ok with them spending Friday afternoon together. On Saturday night, all Stef could think of was Lena and whether she was enjoying her date. She couldn't believe how jealous she was. She didn't even realize that the movie she and Brandon had watched was over. She put Brandon to bed and then went straight to her room. She tried to read, but couldn't focus. She finally turned the lights off and just went to sleep, trying not to think of the person that she wanted to be with most right now.

Lena got to Jenna and Kelly's house a little early. She wanted to have a glass of wine before her "date" showed up. When she heard the doorbell ring, she got a little nervous. She wasn't sure she was going to be able to do this. She had spent the last three days trying not to think of Stef. She thought she wanted to move on, but deep down inside she wasn't sure. Kelly walked into the kitchen and said, "Lena, this is Martha. Martha, Lena". Martha extended her hand and Lena shook it and said, "It's nice to meet you". Her immediate thought was that Martha was pretty, but she wasn't Stef. When their hands had touched, she hadn't felt a thing. This was going to be along night.

When Jenna got up to get dessert, Lena followed her into the kitchen. Her friend looked at her and said, "Nothing".

Lena frowned and said, "I'm sorry, she seems nice, but I just can't do this right now".

Jenna said, "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here quickly". 15minutes later, Jenna was apologizing to Martha explaining that she suddenly wasn't feeling well. Martha thanked them for the evening and left.

Kelly looked at Jenna and said, "What's going on?"

Jenna responded, "Our friend here is in Love with a married woman and until she gets over it, we can't be setting her up".

Lena smiled and said, "I have to go".

The next day, Lena drove to Stef's house and with all the courage she could summon, she knocked on the door. Stef shut off the vacuum when she heard the doorbell ring. She thought that it was the neighbor bringing Brandon back. She was surprised to see Lena standing there. She asked, "Lena, what are you doing here".

"We need to talk Stef."

Stef asked sarcastically, "How was your date?"

Lena stared into Stef's eyes and said, "May I come in".

Stef stepped aside and let Lena enter.

Lena looked around and asked where Brandon was. Stef informed her that he was on a play date with a neighbor.

Lena turned on her heel and said, "Stef Foster, I can't get you out of my head and I need to figure out what's going on with us".

"What do you want to be going us?"

"I don't know Stef. I just know that all I want to do is hold you, touch you and kiss you. I need to know if you want the same thing".

Stef blushed and said, "I admit, I'm a little confused. The first time I saw you I knew that I wanted to be with you. It scares me Lena. I have never had feelings like this for another woman, at least not in a long time".

"Wait, you've had feelings for a woman before?"

Stef walked over to the couch and sat down, "Well, not a woman, a girl. When I was in high school I had feelings for my best friend". Lena sat down next to Stef as Stef told Lena all about what happened with Tess. She told her about her father's reaction and how that had humiliated her.

Lena took Stef's hand in her own and said, "I'm sorry Stef that must have been really difficult. I can't imagine how confused you must have been. I forget sometimes that all parents aren't as supportive as mine".

Stef looked at Lena and asked, "So your parents are ok with you being gay".

"Yes, my parents have always been supportive. I guess it's because they were discriminated against because who they feel in love with, so they didn't want me to go through the same thing. My Mom is black and My Dad is white".

"I know Lena I saw a picture of the three of you at your apartment".

"Oh, that's right, you were at my apartment".

"Yes I was and again, I'm sorry how I left that morning. I was just worried about Brandon".

"I know. But, can we get back to the topic at hand. What do you want Stef".

"You"

Lena grinned as she pushed Stef back against the couch and they started kissing. As she moved her hands up Stef's back she felt Stef stiffen against her touch. Should she be doing this, obviously Stef wasn't enjoying this as much as she was. No, Stef was probably just nervous she still hadn't parted their lips when they kissed. Getting frustrated, Lena bit Stef's bottom lip. When Stef gasped, Lena thrust her tongue into Stef's mouth. When their tongues met, Lena tasted the sparks. After a few moments she felt Stef relax in her arms and she even heard the blonde underneath her moan. She grinned as she ran kisses down Stef's neck and across her shoulder. Stef slowly took charge as she lifted Lena's shirt over her head and fumbled with her bra clasp. Lena giggled and took off her own bra and then helped Stef take off her shirt and bra.

Stef couldn't believe what she was seeing. Lena was perfect. She looked into Lena's eyes and knew she was right where she was supposed to be with the person she was supposed to be with. She trailed kisses down Lena's shoulder and headed toward her pert breasts when she heard a knock on the door.

Stef bolted up grabbing her bra trying to put in on quickly. She looked at Lena and pointed toward the bathroom. Stef slipped the shirt over her head and when Lena closed the bathroom door, she opened the front door. Brandon ran passed her running into the family room. Her neighbor apologized and said that she had a family emergency and had to leave. Stef thanked her for watching Brandon and said she hoped everything would be ok.

Lena came out of the bathroom and was surprised to see Brandon sitting on the couch. "Hi Brandon"

"Ms. Adams, Hi, what are you doing here".

Stef walked over and sat next to Brandon. "She's here to see me. She's my friend and we wanted to spend time together".

"Like my play date".

Stef chuckled and said, "Yes B, like a grown up play date. How do you feel about that?"

He looked from Lena to his Mom and said, "I like her Mom. You smile when she is here and you don't smile that much anymore".

"Thanks B. I love you. Do you think you could go play in your room for while so Ms. Adams and I can talk"?

"Sure Mom".

Brandon ran into his room and Stef walked over to Lena and took her into her arms. "I hate that we got interrupted".

"Yeah, me too. I hope we can continue where we left off someday soon".

Stef smiled as she kissed Lena quickly, "Very soon. I was hoping that maybe we can go on a date. Brandon will be with Mike next weekend".

"That sounds great, Saturday night then".

"Saturday night".

They kissed good bye and Lena walked out the door feeling better than she had ever felt in her life. She was looking forward to her date with Stef and couldn't wait till next weekend.
