Seventy-Six: 9-1-1

Shelby frowned, but she continued to caress her lover's cheeks. "Your job will not come between us. I won't let that happen, okay?" she asked softly.

Audrey nodded as she stared into blue eyes, biting her lip as she did so. "We won't let that happen... that's a two-sided street, babygirl. We need to communicate, always, always, always."

"I totally agree, gorgeous," Shelby said softly before placing a gentle loving kiss on her fiancé's lips. "You mean the world to me, and I wouldn't want to lose you."

Audrey felt her eyes getting teary at the mention of losing her. She bit her lip once again. "I'm r-really scared..." she said as they pulled apart from the kiss, hands caressing the woman's waist.

"Don't be scared, baby. I promise nothing is ever going to happen to us. I promise." Shelby said softly, smiling.

The actress took a deep breath as she nodded, trying to make her bad thoughts go away. "Okay, babygirl... I love you."

"I love you, too, babydoll, so, so much. More than I will ever be able to express." Shelby said before rubbing their noses together.

Audrey giggled softly at the motion. "You are my world, babygirl, after lunch we can read the end of the script if you'd like..."

"I would love that so much, gorgeous." Shelby smiled before softly pulling away. "I'm really hungry, let's go see if lunch is ready."

"Okay," Audrey smiled, starting to pull away as well. "Yes, I'm starving!" she chuckled.

"Me too, especially after all the sex we had." Shelby chuckled softly.

"You know it, baby," Audrey smirked as she winked to her lover. She laughed as she took Shelby's hand started guiding her downstairs.

Shelby gladly followed after her lover, smiling as they reached the end of the stairs. She could smell food.

Audrey took a long deep breath, humming as she did so. "Lord, I hope it's ready."

"Me too," Shelby said before pulling them into the kitchen. She felt her stomach growl as the scent invaded her nose.

Audrey smiled at her parents, seeing they were now serving the plates.

"Oh, hey, girls," John greeted.

"Are those tacos?!" Audrey asked excitedly.

"Oh, I love tacos!" Shelby said with a large smile.

"They are!" Amélia smiled as she set some plates on the table. "Are you guys hungry?"

"Starving!" Audrey chuckled.

"You should have eaten breakfast, my love. You know you can't get it through the morning without it." John said softly as he washed his hands.

"We had some food, just not breakfast," Shelby said softly.

Audrey felt her eyes opening wide as she stared at her lover, her mind not being able to take the sentence anywhere but somewhere sexual.

Shelby saw her lover's face and couldn't help but laugh. "Chips and candy." She clarified.

"Oh, so healthy." Amélia teased.

Audrey chuckled awkwardly as she felt her nervousness going away.

"What's in the tacos?" Shelby asked as she grabbed herself a glass of ice water.

"Cheese, pepper, pepperoni and tomato sauce," John explained, starting to sit down on the table.

"That sounds so delicious! God, I'm starving." Audrey chuckled.

"That sounds great!" Shelby said before sitting at the table.
