Life In The Big Apple

trouble

Callie's: POV
Since l've been back from my recent trip to Los Vegas
Somebody's been calling my phone and not saying anything. It's beginning to spook me out lately
So l decided to change my number, Stephanie hasn't reached out. After our the phone conversation
A week ago, was my big sister giving up me
I know l made a promise to come back over to her and Lena's place for dinner. Stephanie's change every since her and my soon to be sister in law got together
I don't need any of them, the San Diego police officer stopped by my house asking me questions about Beth again. I don't why they keep bugging me, l told them everything l know. It seems like they don't believe my story, l haven't been escorting in a while. I'm laying low
I started back to class, now guys wanna come talk to me now. I hear them talking behind my back, l just ignore
And keep walking. I've finished afternoon classes
I head out to my car where l see two dudes across the street, l pay it no mind and get into my car and one of them sneak up behind me. Hey Cals word around town
is banging older men for money, a friend of mine is having a party. I heard you get down, How you come over to my place and show us a good time Kirk says to me
Buzz off l'm not interested, l tell him. Come on Cal we use to be such good friends. Kirk looks at me up and down
Licking his lips, l said no Callie says to Kirk. Buddy what do you think we should do with this whore, Kirk asks his friend. I say we teach her a lesson she'll never forget
Buddy grins at me, what you guys doing over there
The security guard. Young lady are these two bothering you, the man asked me. I nodded my head at him
Alright gentleman go on about your business and leave her alone, or I'll call you the cops. The man tells buddy and Kirk. I thanked the man, and get in my car
Fasten up my seat belt. Started up my vehicle and drove off, l need to head home and pack a bag. There's no telling what Kirk and buddy have up there sleeves, l wonder who ratted me out. I drive home to my condo and parked my car in the garage and exit the vehicle, l took the elevator up. The doors open up, l stepped off the elevator
Then walked down the hallway. I took out my keys and enter inside my apartment, locked the door behind me
I headed to my room. Pulled my suitcase out from my closet, and sat it up on my bed. I begin taking clothes out of my drawers folded them up and laid them down

Lena's: POV
Today has been a long exhausting day Tasty treats
Was full of customers all day long. I got home around 6pm
Stef feed the kids, l check over Francesca's homework
Ariana was in preschool. She didn't have any assignments
We had our counseling session on zoom, tonight's discussion was on family Dynamics. The whole thing lasted an hour in a half, our assignment for next week
That we take time out for ourselves and do something as couple. While I was helping Ariana with her bath
Frankie was getting out of the shower, baby l'm gonna have to wash your hair this weekend. I tell Ariana
After lotioning her arms and legs, she put her Minnie mouse night gown. Got understand the covers. It was rather chilly tonight, we're still getting adjusted to the temperature change. Where as San Francisco is warmer
Most days, the mornings are always breezy. It doesn't matter if the sun was out, between opening up the bakery
Making sure the girls were comfortable with there new school. I'm considering of hiring a nanny part time
Me at tasty treats from mon thru Saturday, from 9am to 6pm. Stef's here at times, when she's not out
At meetings with clients. I could get my parents
to pick up the girls from school, or l can get them signed up for the afternoon school program. That let's out at 5:30
I take a deep breath, l read Ariana a bedtime story
Lena begins reading golden locks and the three bears one of Ariana's second favorites. Good night baby l love you
I say to Ariana as I kissed her cheek, and put the book back in the shelf and exit her room. I went down to Frankie's room, and found Francesca already asleep
I kissed her too. Both of my girls are my life
Lena headed down hers and Stef's bedroom to find candles lit up all around, Stef came out the bathroom
in a robe. Babe what is this Lena asks, l know you had a pretty long day at work. And I wanted to do something special for you, you always take such good care of us
You put everyone's needs ahead of your own. It's one of the many things I love about you, it's your caring nature
Stef says to Lena. Honey what do you have plan
Lena inquiries, a nice hot bath together. If your up for it
A few hours of intense love making Stef States, how did l land on my feet with you, Lena questions. I believe it was fate that brought us together, when l came into your bakery in San Francisco. And I asked one of your staff
Could l speak with the owner, after having your world famous apple dump cake. I knew l had to meet the woman
in charge, when you came out from the kitchen
My heart was beating so fast, cause I was staring at the most breathtaking woman of my dreams. Standing before me, Stef replied. Lena stood there with tears in her eyes
