Life In The Big Apple

checking on the renovations

Stef's: POV
Lena and I were on our way to check on the renovations for tasty treats. It's been a week since the homeowners association social event, Lena received another email
From the president asking us to attend the ice cream social. Lena kindly reply and declining the offer
Callie invited Francesca to her birthday party next month
It's still up in the air. We pulled up the building
Lena didn't call Gerald to let him know that we were stopping by, l parked the car two blocks away from the shop. We exit the vehicle at the same time, l reached out my hand for Lena to take it. She took it, we walked down the street holding hands. I'm telling you baby they better be doing some work or all hell is going to break loose
Something told me that l shouldn't paid until they completed the job first. I worked to hard for them to be clowning around, Lena says to me. Babe calm down we don't even what they done so far let's just what's going on first before we jump to conclusions, Stef said to Lena
Woman you keep me sane you know that Lena replied
That's why you love me so much Stef States. More than you'll ever know Lena replies, they walked along the sidewalk. When they reached the building the work Crew was outside, Lena cleared her throat and they realize that they were busted. Somebody better tell me what's going on, Lena asked. I'm sorry Ms. Adams were out here taking a break, we didn't know you were stopping by Ricky States. Apparently you didn't l don't paid you guys to shoot the breeze. Where's Gerald at Ricky Stef asks Ricky
He went to home Depot for some more supplies Ricky tells me, you will be happy to know. We put the floors down along with the shelves up the young man tells Lena and I
We head inside the bakery to see what's been done so far
Lena walked around, while I went in a different direction
They got the stove and the oven put in. Everything seems to be coming together so far, l head to the back where Lena's at. Babe tell me what your thinking Stef questions
Mmm. There's still more work to be finished
I'm amazed what little they got accomplished so far
Lena said, see l told you that you were getting worried for nothing. Stef responds, l hated when your right Lena responded. Did I just hear Lena Elizabeth Adams soon to be Foster just say l was right, can I get that in writing
Stef winks at Lena. Now if you tell anybody I said that
I'm gonna deny it, Lena tells me. I promise not to say nothing about it now let's leave these kind gentleman
Get back to their work, plus we need to go to the grocery store. Stef said, alright don't rush me woman l need to have a word with Gerald before we head out Lena says to me. Hey ladies I heard you were looking for me
Gerald comes in, and sees us. Me and Lena decided to come down and to see how things were coming along
Gerald l'm liking what l'm seeing. Keep up the good work
Lena pats Gerald on the back, she totally wants me
He whispers to me. Gerald honey Lena isn't into you in like that, l tell him. Damn what are the good ones are always taken Gerald complains, awe babe l'm sure you're fine somebody. I better get going before Lena comes back here, take l could fix you up with Alex he's available
Stef likes joking around Gerald. She leaves out and finds Lena talking to Ricky, it's about time what took you so long. Lena asked me, we'll Gerald has a huge crush on you
I whisper in Lena's ear. You can't be serious
He must don't know l'm a lesbian engage to you
