1:45am The Next Day

Monica Jones

I've been in the office damn there all day which is a shocker but also not at the same time because I'm a woman of perfection if I'm being honest with myself but hey hard work and dedication are my two biggest traits most people say that anyways. Getting a text I grab my phone seeing its from Maria reading it I chuckle to myself Maria: Your ass better not still be at the office or I'm gonna kick your ass I mean! shaking my head I do believe its time to leaving seeing the time which I'm surprised its not later but hey I can go for some sleep Me: I'm leaving now you violent woman sheesh I'll see you later today goodnight feisty. I grab my bag putting my phone in it holding my keys in my hand as I make my way towards the elevator pressing P when the elevator comes to a stop  get out walking to my Audi 8 pressing the unlock button on my key fob I get in throwing my bag in the passenger grabbing my phone connecting it to my bluetooth as I crack my engine hearing the echoing roar through the garage that's like my favorite part when staying late at work chuckling to myself. I pull out of the garage I always do a look around my building making sure no one is waiting for the last person to leave so they can rob the place I check the back first and to my liking its all clear and I make my way to the front checking the alleyway where the dumpsters are and to my surprise I see a backpack and the head of a woman to which I was very much confused I get out leaving my car running I slowly approach the woman with caution because this could be a trap but when I look more at the woman I can see her face and I gasp softly as I am looking at little Savannah and my heart literally shatters because I could've sworn she stayed with her dad and she got this job to help him pay the bills I looked over her application and I did put a question for every applicant to answer which was why do you want this job and why should we hire you and she was very personal and detailed with hers so seeing her here at this time of the new day broke my heart. Pulling my phone out of my pocket I dial Maria and to my surprise she answers but due to her voice I can tell she was sleeping "Monica it is 2am why are you calling me this late" her groggy voice always brought those chills down my spine jesus Monica get your head out of the gutter shaking my head "I'm sorry I know you need your sleep or you become the damn grinch but I just found Savannah in the alleyway of the building sleeping I'm gonna take her to my place come in the morning you were always the easiest to talk to please" I'm practically begging but also knowing that I've just put her in Mommy mode I know she is going to come over now "I'll be on my way in 10 with a bag to stay for a few days just in case you know" she says as I hear her rummaging through her closet chuckling "okay love don't be speeding okay she'll be fine I swear it" I said still looking down at the small girl curled up in the alleyway "she better be or we defiantly won't be getting back together at all" and with that she hangs up so I get to work trying to think of a way to get her in the car so we can beat Maria to my house because that girl can drive shit. I slowly and gently stroke the small girls cheek whispering out "Savannah sweet girl its time to wake up" I lift her head up and she opens her eyes a bit and I sigh "babygirl why don't we go somewhere more cozy how does that sound" with a sleepy smile she nods slowly lifting her arms up "mama you carry pease" and with that my heart as be put back together just hearing her call me mama even though I know she won't remember it later I will cherish this moment forever. Lifting her up I grab her bags swiftly as I toss them in the passenger side where my back resides and I open up the backseat door sliding her small frame in the back seat watching as she squirms around until she's found her perfect spot I smile at her adorableness and get in driving to my house with a small smile on my face. Pulling into my garage I quickly shut my car off leaving the garage door open I mean wouldn't want us to get carbon monoxide poison now would we...quickly I take all three bags inside and set them on the couch as I walk around picking up a curled up Savannah cradling her in my arms I feel her cling onto me for dear life and one of my many unshed tears roll down my cheeks as I take in this moment. Walking us in the house after closing the garage I hear a knock on the front door more like a police bang sighing I already know who it is.

Maria Sanchez

After the phone call I just had with Monica I was no longer willing to sleep until my baby was safe and yes I said my baby because I know deep down inside she will be mine well ours but she'll be a Mommy's girl through and through. I quickly pack my bag for a few nights grabbing two pacifiers with a matching sippy cup and bottle I mean just in case right once finished I bolt out the door and into my jeep wrangler speeding down the empty streets making to her house within 8mins when it normally takes me 15 but hey who's keeping track...parking I hop out of my car heading for the front door as I practically bang on it just ready to see my baby nice and safe. Monica opens the door with a stern look on her face as she looks down at Savannah and I cover my mouth with a gasp not knowing that she was still sleeping but the gasp was also for the way she was clutching on to Monica for dear life as her lips were just sucking on pure air I walked passed Monica taking a princess pacifier out of my bag washing it off as I walked up to them slowly putting it in her mouth and it didn't even startle her I do have pretty steady hands if you ask me so hey a win is a win. Monica then pulled out her couch which was also a full size bed and laid the small girl on it covering and tucking her in putting pillows around her because we wouldn't want her tog et hurt now would we. I ended up taking my bag to her room but I was distracted by the memories that flooded my mind and just as I was going down memory lane I feel a pair of strong arms around my waist and a soft kiss on my ear "look I know we agreed to be friends but I can't stop thinking about you Maria I miss you hell I miss us" Monica spoke gently and with that I turned around in her arms staring into her hazel brown eyes looking for a reason to say no but they gave none...she leaned in capturing my lips with hers and god did I miss her lips and what they did to me I melted into the kiss deepening it as she slid her tongue in my mouth we fought for dominance but of course she won she has always been the dominant one between us and I love it. We pulled away remembering we both need oxygen and that we also have a little one downstairs she smirked at me seeing how flustered I was I just shook my head and walked away but not without her slapping my ass in the process "you lucky there's a baby here and that those lips still work like I remember they do or I'd beat your ass" as I fully made my way down the stairs deciding to curl up with the pretty girl and soon enough Monica joined us in her causal pjs a beater of any color and some plaid pants some things never change but in a good way. We both laid there watching Savannah sleep so peacefully she even had her little butt in the air so cute...covering myself up closing my eyes I whispered out "you owe me a date goodnight" just to hear her laugh and agree with me I drifted back to sleep content with how I'm spending my night.
