Lost Memories (LESBIAN, GXG)

Monica's Perspective

      Sophie and I was busy making breakfast. It's been our family thing even before Jasmine died.

"Sophie can you pass the egg?"

"Here Mama" I smiled and I start mixing the egg with the fried rice.
"So how's school?"

"It's alright, me and Seven join the Art club and Seven got her first detention yesterday"

"What happened? I'm sure Cate will be mad"

"It's my fault, there's some guy who was trying to take a photo of me without my consent so Seven broke his phone. He was furious and push Seven. She got mad and punch him and the principal saw it"

"He deserves that punch" I looked up to see Amber leaning at the door.

"Hi Monica, I'm sorry for the sudden visit and nap" She walked towards to me.

"It's alright, do you want to join with us? We have extra apron here" I said while pointing the apron hanging beside the fridge.

"Sure, let me wash my hands first"

"So you should start mixing the fried rice with egg"

"Got it!"

       I was helping Amber from time to time and Sophie was making her favorite pancakes. I can't help but to missed Jasmine. Amber was wearing her apron.

"Is there something bothering you?" I looked at Amber who asked the question. She raised a brow.

"N-no I'm alright" I looked down while fidgeting my fingersm

Amber start helping my daughter. I looked up once again and watch them interact. I saw how Amber's eyes lit up every time Sophie talk to her.

Why Amber reminds of my deceased wife. What's the important thing she wants to talk about that she needs to be here. Is the reason why I let Amber enter my life is because she reminds me of Jasmine? Ghad this shit was too confusing.

"Penny to your thoughts?" Amber gave me a half smile.

"Just thinking about work." I lied.

"You are lying." She grinned, her mouth curved into wide smile before going back to Sophie for it last pancake in the pan.
