Lena's: POV
Lena and Stef were out in the yard
By themselves. Neither women not knowing what to say to each other
So you teach english at the University of Los Angeles. Lena's trying to break the ice, Lena says. Yes I've been there about ten years to be exact, the students are great to work with
Stef replies. So how long have you been a surgeon, Stef directs the question. Twelve years Lena replied
Wow that's impressive, l bet you were the smartest one in the class. Stef says to Lena, actually I was. My parents took my education seriously in our household. I graduate a year early
Ahead of my classmates, my parents were pastors, basically I was raised in a christian house. I'm an only child
My mother was white and my father was african american. So that's even about me, the meal is just about done
Did you read my in description on Facebook. Lena sees the wheels turning in Stef's mind, Stef I hope not being to forward in asking you this
What are you looking for in a relationship. Lena boldly asks
Well to answer your question
I'm looking for someone who l can call my best friend with as well as my partner in life. A woman that's not afraid to be affectionate in public
Like hold hands when walking down the street, loves to be held in bed after a night of love making. I can a big kid at times, when going to amusement parks. My mother said l was dare devil. As a teenager cause I would ride the roller coasters, while everybody else was scared to go on
Lena chuckle. Lena did anyone ever tell you are a easy person to talk to
Stef tells Lena, no not really
I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to talk to me like this. For a second I thought we wouldn't have nothing in common, what I'm looking for someone who's honest, fun adventureous, trustworthy, loyal
Some women aren't willing to commit to one woman. Or some doesn't appreciate a strong woman
They always look for the weak ones
No offense, that's just my opinion
I came out as gay at twenty one
It was in my first year in college. She was older and experience, Dawn showed me l could be me and not feel ashamed for loving a woman of the same gender. I never dated a guy
My father was strict in that department, when I told my parents
That l was Lesbian. They knew all along. Because I never spoke about boys, l thought that they were going to be mad. But accepted me for who I was. Lena said. Lena goes inside to get the salads out the refrigerator
