My Boss and Her Wife

Temptation Part 1

"You never did tell me what happened to your mom." I looked at her confused. Where did that come from? "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, your life, your business." She turned back to face the TV. I chuckled and turned my entire body to face her.

"Well since I do plan on building a life with you I guess I have to tell you."

"You don't have to do it now."

"You are seriously the only person that I trust. I can trust you with this." She smiled and turned her body to face me. I sighed as I thought about that day. "My mom and I were very close. We talked about anything and everything, we always loved to cook, and she was the one who taught me how to cook, I remember one day she and I were making pancakes and at some point, we forgot about them and just started throwing the mix at each other." I smiled at the memory but then started to frown. "One day when I was at school I got into trouble and got sent to the principal's office. They called my mom and instead of her answering it was a doctor. She fainted in the kitchen and ended up in a coma. They then said she had cancer and it was very aggressive and she wouldn't wake up. Everyone tells me that it's not my fault because that is what a child is supposed to do, not know these things. But that wasn't really why I wasn't focused on my mom. It was because I was focused on not getting pregnant." She looked at me confused and I just chuckled. "My mom had me when she was 16. She told me not to have kids until I was stable, so we made a deal. Once I turn 17 and I don't have any kids, I can say I 'outlived her'. And I was so focused that my mother's cancer got to the point where I would outlive her. So because of that, she died." I didn't realize I was crying until she wiped a tear from my face. "Before she did she told me something that I stand by. 'Find the one you love and marry them, don't let anything stop you. By the way, I know you're gay." Both of us started laughing.

"She seemed like an amazing person." I nodded my head.

"Yeah, she was." She wiped my face
and brought me into a hug.

"I love you Madelyn Cooper, and I will never leave you." Smiled.

"I love you too Amy Roland."

*********

I woke up out of my sleep with a little sweat on me and a body under me, I got frustrated at myself for a minute because I thought I brought another person home with me. I looked down and saw that I was fully dressed and got confused. I looked at whoever I was lying on and then smiled. It was Layla. I forgot for a few seconds about last night. Last night was the first time in years that I let someone sleep with me and we didn't do anything. I laid my head back down on her chest and went back to being frustrated at myself.

I can't believe that I dreamed of her.

It's been 8 years since that and I still think of it. She was the first and only person I told about my mom. My mom has always been a light topic for me and I don't like when people bring her up. Whenever someone asks about my parents I just say my dad is out of the picture and my mom is dead. Not a conversation starter by the way.

That day I told Amy about my mom three weeks after we started dating. Three weeks and we already told one another that we loved each other, that we were meant to be, and that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together.

Idiot.

After she left I was devastated. I mean I was 18, and I was obsessed with finding the perfect person for me, and I thought everyone was. And honestly, for a long period, she was the perfect person for me. She was the best, we had everything in common, we would get into fights about the stupidest things and then just stare at each other then burst out laughing. The only real fight we ever had was about someone finding out about us, which we fought about a lot. After some time she started to relax, but she relaxed a little too much. Once she started to chill I started to panic. I got worried every time she kissed me in public or she told me to stay after class too much.
