Ties That Bind

Chapter 30. Finding Him

After her check up and run to the bank the next morning, Stevie found her way back---calling Robin and Lori to come over while she also had Sharon come over to help her work on her resumé.

As the blonde was making her way inside her place, the raven haired girl was right on her trail---ready to enter.

"We can go to your place---but sit if you'd like," she gestured to the table and she set her purse on a dining chair as well. "I'm gonna grab my typewriter and we can start. I also have a resumé book we can look through for reference---if any of the info in there benefits you."

"Okay, thanks..." Sharon took a seat and kind of waited---eyes roaming the owner's place only because it was so beautiful and there were interesting things as decor.

Coming back, she lugged the heavy typewriter in.

"Hey, let me get that---" the girl popped up. "You shouldn't carry heavy stuff while you're pregnant," she grasped it with a light struggle.

"Well," she chuckled lightly---a hand falling to the curve of her hip, "I don't normally carry it around, but I wanted it to be easier for you in case you wanna redo it later. I'm sure you could get use out of it as of now anyway since you are working on getting your G.E.D. and soon, college..." she opened the side door for the girl to head to her apartment. "I have no use for it right now anyway."

"I didn't think about that," the girl mentioned before stepping off the short steps.

"Let me just make a phone call and I'll be right over with the resumé book," she mentioned.

"Take your time."

As Stevie spun around to complete her simple tasks, she thought back to Sharon helping her. She never gave it much thought that she would have to willingly give up certain things just because she was pregnant and she was never really ready for that time to approach, not till much later. She then made her phone call to Robin and Lori and the two agreed to meet her---just a get-together as they would normally have at the end of the week simply because they hadn't in the last couple.

When she entered Sharon's new place, she sat the resumé book on the small table---where the girl was already set up with with the typewriter and paper.

"How do we start?" the girl locked her hands together and said excitedly as she looked up at the blonde.

"So, it's actually very simple..." she then explained as she pulled the opposite chair in next to her. "By the way, I have some ladies I want you to meet. They're my best friends and one is a sister in-law now," she explained.

"Okay---just have them come over here," she suggested since she was excited about her new apartment and to meet friends of Stevie's. She looked up to the woman so much since she met her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it'll be nice to have people over... I know you don't know me that well---but I'm sure we'll be friends," she grinned.

"I'm sure we will too," she inclined with a small smile. "Alright---let's get started," she put her glasses on and she picked up the thick book.
She would then go on to teach the girl everything she knew about making up a resumé, cover letter and so on by just showing her the models in the book because she had to refresh her own memory.

But in the midst of Sharon's slow typing, there was a prominent knock on Stevie's side door in which made the focused girl jump and look up out the screen door.

Chuckling, "It's just the girls," as she got up to move to the small foyer that really was a step from the dining room. Opening the screen, "Hey, I'm in here," she took a step outside, allowing them entry.
