The best is yet to come

Give me a chance

Present time

Maya was deep in her thoughts when she heard someone call her multiple times.
She shook her head and looked towards the door where Leslie was waiting for her answer.

"I'm sorry what?" She spoke not knowing what the girl had asked.

"I've got practice today...could you drive me there? It's close to school. I know it's your day off but Carina is cooking and I really can't walk there cause it's like ten miles."

Maya held a snigger. Her father used to make her walk home after her mutiple 10.000 runs for almost twenty miles.

"Of course. No problem." She knew she had to take advantage of Leslie being out to talk to her wife for more than three minutes straight. And not talk about delivered babies.

She grabbed the car keys from the entrance table and popped her head into the kitchen.

"I'm driving Leslie to practice. I'll be back in twenty minutes tops. So that we can talk." She spoke as softly as she could and gave her wife a little smile.

Carina was cooking something to put it in the fridge in case they needed it later on. But Maya knew that she was doing so just to avoid being alone with her wife.

"Sure. See you later." She barely turned around not going far from the stove.

"Yeah." Maya wispered going towards the door.

Once they jumped on the car and left the apartment Leslie turned her head to look at Maya.

"Are you really going to talk or it'll be more like tuesday night when I heard you talk for maybe like six minutes before you went to bed to have S - E - X?" She spelled a little embarassed.

"We didn't - ok well we did. But it's just frustrating cause she is constantly angry with me. As if I were the reason we lost it." She didn't say baby that often lately and liked to avoid it so far.

"You know she's not the reason either right?" Leslie spoke catching Maya a little off guard.

The blonde hadn't thought about it. Was she blaming Carina for losing their baby? No, no she wasn't. But still...

"I'm not blaming her. I just wish we could talk again." She sighed and squeezed the streering wheel.

Maybe they couldn't wait any longer.

"I'm sure you will." She thought that she actually didn't know anything about them, and wasn't anyone to talk but somehow she cared.

Maya pulled over in front of the school.

"Just come pick me up in two hours."
Leslie said going off the car.
They had bought her a knew pair of soccer shoes the week before so that she could start playing again.

"Of course. We'll buy you a phone tomorrow ok?" Maya said smiling a little before starting the car to leave.

Now it was the time.

Once she arrived back to the building she was fidgeting and sweating and her heart was pounding in her chest. Why was she feeling like this? It was Carina. It was her wife, the love of her life.

She walked upstairs slowly before opening the door to find Carina on the couch with two glasses of wine on the table.
She looked over to Maya and forced a smile.

The blonde took a deep breath and walked towards her to sit on the airmchair so that she could properly face her.

They remained silent for about five minutes sometimes taking a sip of red wine.
Carina was bouncing her knee up and down a little shocked by her total loss of ability to speak to her wife.
Things had been tough, that was sure, but they had spent the last three months doing nothing but going to work and having sex on their days off and she knew that this wasn't leading them anywhere.
