Troubles In Heaven

Chapter 8. The Girlfriend

The door to the house opened and Charlotte walked in, carrying heavy bags filled with food products. She put them on the floor, stripped off her red coat and headed for the kitchen with heavy bags. The sound of her heels hitting the floor could be heard as far as Neptune.

"Sophie, I'm home," Charlotte shouted as she stacked the products in her fridge on the shelves. "Soph?" Charlotte struggled for a moment, dragging her to the living room. Sophie had told her that she had taken her leave for a few days.

"Sophie?" Charlotte walked into the living room. She could not believe her eyes. Her ex-wife was kissing another. Charlotte put her hands on her lips. The lady on Sophie began to kiss her in the curve of her lovely neck. Sophie bit her lower lip. One of her hands grasped the woman's hair, and the other with her nails in her back.

The black-haired, sensing someone's presence and stopped loving Sophie. She glanced at Charlotte and rose quickly from the brunette. "Hello" greeted the girl. Charlotte folded her arms in front of her chest, "What is all this?" Sophie looked at the blonde, "Char, this is René Weniang, René, this is my ex-wife I was telling you about."

René stood up from the couch and handed her hand to the woman in front of her. She was a gorgeous asian, probably from China or somewhere else, wearing a white dress and black heels. The blonde shook the girl's hand and smiled broadly. "If she had told me about you, I would not have interrupted you." Charlotte said looking at Sophie.

"You did not ..." René smiled, also looking at Sophie and noticed her girlfriend's nervousness. "It's alright, you did not bother us." The brown haired woman turned her gaze to the blonde. "I'm glad to finally meet you, the boys talk about you." the Asian had a beautiful broad smile, pale skin and a fringe on her black hair. Incredibly beautiful and young, Charlotte could not help but notice. "How old are you?"

"It's all right." Sophie wrapped her arms around René's  waist. "You finally meet, that's great." she smiled looking at the two women.
The blonde shook the girl's hand and smiled broadly. "If she had told me about you, I would not have interrupted you." Charlotte said looking at Sophie.

"I need to finish packing in the kitchen." Charlotte said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Thank you, Char." Sophie screamed.
"I do not think she was very happy." Charlotte could hear the girl saying.

"I do not understand, so how are you marrying your ex-wife again?" René stared at her girlfriend in astonishment.

"René, it's not a real marriage." the brunette sat next to her girlfriend in bed.
"This I already understood, but why you? Can't she do this with someone else?" René pursed her lips and looked at her beautiful french.

"Honey, we already have other children and a stable financial life. For her as a single, divorced mother, it would be an even longer and harder time for adoption, and I'm just going to help her, that's all." Sophie smiled and brushed René's black hair behind her ears.The touch of her hand on the other woman's skin made Weiniang close her eyes.

"And then you're going to get divorced, I get it, and after that, to whom this child will remain? She'll feel like an object and like Armand and Arden she'll prefer to live with you."

It was Arden's 17th birthday, and before he left to celebrate with his friends he asked for something more personal; a small party at home with the mothers, René and his brother Armand. For a long time he wanted everyone together, and with Charlotte at home that was the perfect occasion.
