“Really?” Shane smiled. “When I come back home, you’ll have to take me over there.”

“Shane—I miss you.” Carmen sighed. “I’m not going to lie.” She laughed softly, and Shane smiled to herself.

“I miss you too.” Shane got a knock on her door. “Hey, someone’s at the door. I’ll give you a call later.”

“Okay, bye.”

“Bye.” Shane hung up her phone and got off the bed. She walked over to her door and looked through the peephole. She opened her door and looked at the woman. “Can I help you?”

“Hello to you too Shane—you don’t remember a familiar face?” Shane looked at the woman and backed up.

“Oh my God—Clea?

“You do remember me.” She smiled softly. Cherie appeared from Clea’s right.

“I’m happy to see that you remember my daughter Shane because she hasn’t forgotten about you.”

            Helena arrived to her place and saw Ryan at her doorstep. She sighed heavily as she parked her car. She got out and closed the door. Ryan stood up and shoved her hands in her back pockets. Helena walked up to Ryan, and Ryan smiled faintly.

“Why are you here?”

“To talk about yesterday.” Helena crossed her arms. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you that Sofia was there at my place. I know that it looked bad, but—,” Helena held up her hand.

“Did you fuck her?” Ryan hesitated. “Did you or did you not?”

Ryan bit her bottom lip. “Yes.” Helena closed her eyes and felt her heart drop.

“Wow—I kind of felt that you did just because the way you acted when I showed up at your door. I can’t believe you Ryan.”

“Me—look at you—you kissed that girl.”

Helena shook her head. “I don’t have any feelings for her, but you fucked your ex Ryan. Did you forget about me when you had her between your legs?” Ryan dropped her head and looked away from Helena. She looked back up at her.

“I’m sorry Helena, I didn’t mean for it to happen.”

“You made me feel so guilty, but you did your own dirt.” Helena shook her head. “Please leave.”

“Helena—.”

“Just go Ryan. I don’t want to talk about this.” Helena walked past Ryan and unlocked her door. She went into her house and slammed the door. She bit her bottom lip as the tears rolled. She dropped her things on the floor and cried out loud.

            Jenny watched Diem put Austin down in his bed. She smiled as she stood in the doorway. Diem gave Austin a kiss on his forehead and walked out of his room. She grabbed Jenny’s hand and walked into the living room of her house. They both took a seat on the couch, and Jenny pulled her legs onto the couch. Diem looked at Jenny and smiled.

“Today has been a lot of fun with you.”

“I had fun too,” Jenny smiled. Diem leaned over and kissed Jenny softly. She caressed her cheek with her thumb. Jenny cupped Diem’s face and kissed her back. She climbed on top of Diem’s lap and ran her fingers through her hair. Diem pulled Jenny’s shirt up and above her head. She threw it across the room and kissed Jenny passionately. Jenny moaned softly against Diem’s lips. She reached between them and unbuttoned Diem’s jeans. Diem pushed against Jenny softly and stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t do this,” Diem took a deep breath and sighed. “I-I’m sorry, but I just feel like it’s too soon.” She looked up at Jenny. “I hope you understand.”

“Oh yeah—,” Jenny nodded. “I understand. It’s fine.” There was a knock on the door, and Jenny got off of Diem.

“Diem? Diem are you in there?” Diem groaned and got off the couch.

“Shit—it’s Johnny.” Jenny grabbed her shirt off the floor. “It’s Austin’s father.”
