"Laura, please."
"Diana, get away from my door." Laura tried to push her front door, but Diana stopped her. "Stop it."
"No." She pushed the door until it opened all the way and walked in. "You're going to listen to me." Laura folded her arms. "Please. It's been a month. Let me explain. Let me just..."
"Fine. You have five minutes."
"Baby, I love you more than anything. I would do anything for you. The situation with Barry was more than I led on, but that's over. I told him that he needs to stop coming around whenever he wants and to adhere to the co-parenting schedule or I was going to call my lawyer. I've even told Tracee and Rhonda about us." Laura unfolded her arms.
"You did?"
"Yes."
"I thought you were scared about..."
"Not anymore. I'm not scared to tell them because I know we're going to work out. I know we're going to be together. I love you." Laura looked at Diana. She wants to trust her, but she just couldn't.
"Diana, I really want you. I do, but I can't shake this feeling that I'm going to end up hurt. You've done this so much that, I just...I'm losing all confidence in this..." Diana dropped to her knees and hugged Laura by her thighs.
"Please, baby. Please. I'm so sorry. I'll do whatever you ask. I can't live without you in my life. My heart skips beats when you're not with me. What do you need from me? What do I have to do?" Laura froze in shock at Diana's behavior. She had never had a display like this before. It was completely out of character for her. It showed just how much she loved her.
"Oh, baby." Laura touched Diana's head. "Come here." Diana stood up and Laura kissed her deeply. She wrapped her arms around Diana's neck and her tongue entered her mouth. Diana held Laura's waist and picked her up. Breaking the kiss, they looked at each other. "I love you too." Diana felt her heart as Laura kissed her again.
Even though she said not to, Toni had been trying to call Janet ever since she left the office. She wanted them to work this out. The way Janet reacted made her realize that maybe she hasn't been showing Janet how much she loved their relationship. A lot of their interactions have been related to Gabby now and even though they've had a lot of intimate moments lately, it's only been sex. They haven't had any dates or simply sitting and talking with each other. Then Jenna is always coming around, it's easy for Janet to jump to conclusions. She certainly would if the roles were switched.
However, she did love her wife. Janet was the best thing that ever happened to her. Her life was better now with Janet in it. They had a beautiful daughter and an amazing love. She couldn't imagine things any other way, but maybe it's been awhile since she's said these things to Janet. Maybe the problem was nonsexual affection.
Toni practically sped home. She knew that Janet would be there. They lived together. After getting the gate opened, she zoomed up the path and parked in front of the house. She didn't even turn her car off before getting out and going inside. Without greeting anyone, she rushed upstairs. "Toni, wait." She ignored whoever was calling her and went to the bedroom.
"Jan..." She entered the room only to find it empty. Everything was cleaned up and the bed was made. Neither Janet or Gabby was here. Turning around, she headed back downstairs where she ran into Katherine. "Mama Kat, have you seen Janet?"
"That's what I was trying to tell you. She's gone. She came in here a few hours ago, took Gabby and left without telling anyone where she was going." Toni sat down on the stairs. "What is going on?"
"We got into a fight today at the office. I didn't think it was this big though." Katherine sat next to him. Rebbie came rushing up behind her.
"Hey, what's going on? Toni, what's wrong?"
