Captured hearts

A restless night

Lena's: POV
I tried to get some sleep but nothing seems to be working. I'm in downstairs working out at 4:30 in the morning, while everybody's asleep
I checked in on the girls. There pretty much knocked out, l made there lunches for school. Breakfast has already been prepared, l whipped up myself a strawberry blue berry banana smoothie. My scrubs are nearly pressed, for the week
Channing and Amar'e''s uniforms
Have been ironed. I worked out for two in a half hours, now I'm gonna go take a shower. And get ready for another long week, the girls party is next weekend, some of there friends are flying in from Jacksonville Florida
They will be staying at the holiday inn in town. There's only three of them coming, l turn on the shower waiting for it warming it to warm up
I removed my shorts and spot bra
And socks. I sliding the shower glass back, and stepped in. As the water rain down on my mocha skin
I shampoo my hair first before washing my body, l lather the soap up in my scalp and massage it all over
Mommy Amar'e' says to me
I slid the glass door open.
Good morning Amar'e'
Lena said to her youngest daughter
Stef wants to know where you keep the coffee. Amar'e' States
Baby let Stef know mommy doesn't drink coffee, I only drink tea
Lena replies back, well l'll go tell
Stef what you said. Amar'e' replied
She leaves the bathroom, and heads downstairs. I closed back the shower and rise out the conditional out of my hair, l washed up with my vanilla body wash.

Stef's: POV
I wonder where Lena is
Amar'e' came down to tell me
Lena doesn't drink coffee
She only likes tea. I see she prepared breakfast already, Lena made pancakes fruit salad and eggs
With turkey bacon. I'm a little concerned about her, l don't know if I should bring it up to Lena or not
The girls came down stairs dressed in their uniforms. I made their plates
Amar'e' said Lena was in the shower
As they all begin to eat their breakfast
I look through cupboard and found a single package of coffee, it was all the way in the back. I filled the tea kettle up with water, and took my seat
Lena comes down the stairs and greets us all  with a cheerful good morning. She winks her eye at me
That sends chills up my spine,
She walks over to the cabinet
to get a cup. And pour some water in her tea, Lena adds to spoonfuls of sugar. Lena takes her seat at the head of the table, channing and Amar'e
Mrs. Brinkley will be here when you get home from school. I should be home at 5:15 pm, guys you need to hurry up your bus will be arriving in ten minutes. I listen intently as she gives the girls orders, l see Lena's chore board beside the refrigerator
She likes everything to be organized
Where has this woman been all my life. The tea kettle whistles. I get up and turn it off, l put cream and sugar in my coffee. Lena's sitting beside me
She's rubbing my leg, and looks at me with a small smile on her face and whispers thank you for staying last night. And I responded and said any time,
