Never to love again - girlxgirl Chapter 5 Love at last

Well after that intense chapter I needed a drink.  Anyway....so on with the story.  Don't forget, votes and comments make my fingers type faster. lol

Lacey and I continued to fall more in love with one another as each day passed.  We had been together for 6months already and Lacey had finally moved in with me, even though it meant that she had to leave her job and look for a new one.  It was a dead end job anyway and paid very little for rather long hours, so Lacey didn't really mind all that much.  We were so crazy in love that we couldn't bare to be apart, even for a night.

We would lay in bed at night and plan our future one day.  I wanted to have 2 kids once we could buy our own place and provide them with a home to grow up in.  I wanted to have the first child, seeing as I was the oldest by 3 years and Lacey would have the second.  I must admit, I was a little worried that she might have twins, seeing as she was a twin, her father was a twin and so was her grandfather on her dad's side.  The odds were definitely in her favour, but we decided we would cross that bridge later if history did repeat itself.

It didn't take long for Lacey to find another job and we were soon able to buy a small piece of land to build a two bedroomed house on.  It was a really small house, but it was perfect for our new life together and was a starting point at least.  Once our salaries improved and we started a family, we could always sell the house and buy a bigger one.

The day we moved in was one of the best days I had ever had.  The builder gave us the keys to our very own home and had scarcely turned the corner when we jumped into one another's arms and kissed passionately as Lacey carried me over the thresh hold and into our new home.  We made love in every room of the house, not many unfortunately, to celebrate our new home and then started unpacking the trailer we had hired to move our things.

I looked around our new home as Lacey drilled holes into the wall to hang up photo frames of us and our friends and family.  I was truly happy at last and I couldn't wait to start a family.

We had barely settled into our new home when Lacey phoned me excitedly from work.  "Hey Babe, what's up?" I asked.  "I have the best news ever," she responded enthusiastically.  "You remember I applied to the police academy a few months ago?"  Before I even had a chance to respond, she carried on, "They've just called to let me know that I've been accepted and I leave in a weeks time for a 9 month training course."  I sat down, shocked at the thought of being alone for 9 months.  The police academy was 300km away which meant we would only see one another once a month probably.  "Lovey? Are you still there," I heard Lacey's voice as she broke my thoughts.

"Uhm....yeah Babe, congrats, I'll see you tonight after work."  I ended the call and sat down on the couch.  This was quite sudden and I wasn't prepared for her leaving.  I knew it would do her the world of good to finally get into some kind of career and I knew she would hate me if I stopped her from going.  I had a bad feeling about this and there was nothing I could do about it.  Lacey had always wanted to join the police force.  She had grown up in a very violent home and her father had left when she was barely 12 years old.  I knew Lacey wanted to make a difference in the world but I was scared of the price she would pay for doing so.  Living in South Africa, it's no easy task being in the police and your life is on the line every day.  People shoot one another without even a second thought for as little as a loaf of bread and a box of smokes.

When Lacey arrived home from work that evening, I could see the excitement evident on her face.  All she spoke about over dinner was the academy and how she was going to learn so many new skills and lessons.  I was still hoping and praying that she would come to her senses and forget about the police, but I knew my hopes and prayers would not be answered.

We went out to celebrate with friends that night and I wasn't in the best of moods.  I sat at the table in the club and watched as Lacey danced and partied with some of our friends.  One of the girls in particular, Geena, was not a favourite of mine as she always seemed to be hanging on Lacey and encouraging her to drink more, which, trust me, she needed no encouragement in.

I got up from the table and approached Lacey on the dance floor.  "Hey Babe, I'm tired, can we head on home soon?"  LAcey turned to me with a look of disappointment on her face.  "Ah come on Lovey, it's not even 12pm yet and I'm celebrating."

"Fine," I answered smugly, "I'm leaving, see you at home."  I stormed out of the club and drove home, crying all the way.  Lacey hadn't once even asked me how I felt or whether I would be fine for 9months on my own.  I got home and climbed into bed, I was tired but I couldn't sleep and I was worried that Lacey would do something foolish with her lame ass friends that I really had no time for.  Eventually at about 3am, I picked up the phone and dialled her number.  When she picked up the phone, I could hear that she wasn't at the club anymore.  

"Babe, it's 3 in the morning, where are you?" I asked rather angrily.  "Hey Looveeyy....I'm shtill at the club."  I was furious at this point.  She was definitely drunk and she was lying to me.  I could hear Geena's voice in the background, "Come back to bed Lacey, I'm sooo horny for you!"  I slammed the phone down and went to wait for her in the lounge.  'That bitch Geena was gonna get it from me and Lacey can go to hell for all I care.  Here she expects me to stay at home and take care of things while she screws around for 9months with whoever......that'll be the day!'

Lacey eventually stumbled into the house at 9am the next morning.  She knew I was pissed as hell and tried her best to soothe the situation, but I was uncontrollable.  "How dare you disrespect our relationship like this, and for a slut like Geena, I'm completely disgusted."  I spat at her in anger.  "Lovey, it's not what you think, I was drunk and it was just a mistake, please let's not fight about it.   I'm leavign in a few days and I just want to spend time with you.  You're the only person I'll ever love."  Lacey replied embarassed.   

"You could have fooled me," I retorted back.  "I think it's best we break up for these 9months so that you can do your thing and get your shit together, cause I'm sure as hell not gonna wait around for you while you're 300km away doing God knows what and with who.  I'm sure half the Police Academy is lesbian!  I'm 28 years old already, I need stability and a loyal partner in my life, not a philandering, slut who cares about no-one but herself."  I knew I had gone a bit far with my harsh words, but I was hurting so badly and I wanted her to feel the way I did too.

"Please Baby, please," Lacey begged, "I don't want to break up and I'm sure you're the only one for me.  I promise I won't ever let you down again."  She grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards her.  I was still shocked and angry by her betrayal but I didn't want to lose her.  Maybe she was really drunk and maybe it was just a mistake on her part.  Everyone deserves a second chance right?
