Chapter 66: Chapter 66

“What do you mean?”

Knowing that Lena is obviously asked me to do more shit, I help her up and walk her back to the bed before I ask her once again. “What are you talking about?” I say, looking at her who sits next to me. Lena stares at me and sighs “Can you please help me picking up the drug again?” Lena says. I heavily sigh as I highly raise my voice “No, No fucking way! Are you fucking kidding me” I say. “Please…” Lena says, weld up.

“This time is different, it’s not a heroin bag it’s the drug money…” Lena coos and that’s causing me to agree. “Fine! But this is the last time I help you” I say. Lena smile and point her sight to me “Thanks babe, I love you…” She says, cupping my cheek. I inhale as my eyes looking at her “I love you too…” I whine softly “My dad may never forgive me” I chuckle, kissing the palm of Lena’s hand.

“Ah… Let’s forget about my dad and work. How’s your feeling baby?” I say, looking up at her. Lena chuckle “Hehe… I feel better, knowing that my girlfriend is always by my side” She smiles. I laugh softly “I’m just a girl who in love with a girl…” I say. Lena smiles as she looking at my eyes “Mmm right… Now I’ll call Dmitri and let him know that we’ll back to work soon” Lena says, grabbing her phone on the bedside and looking for Dmitri’s number.

“Hi, Lena! How’s your feeling?” Dmitri says through the phone.

“I’m excellent, how’s the package?” Lena says.

“Well, we had a lot of pending packages since you’re in the hospital. But now I’m working on it, don't worry” Dmitri says.

“Shit” Lena mumble.

“Tell me when is the last package will arrive?” Lena says.

“Umm… the last package will be arriving in Paris the next day” Dmitri says.

“You mean tomorrow?” Lena says.

“Yes…” Dmitri’s clearing throat.

“Fuck, that’s the money right? The drugs money” Lena says worriedly.

“Yes…” Dmitri says.

“I’ll pick up the money in Paris” Lena says.

“B… But you’re sick” Dmitri says.

“No… Not me, but Maia… I’ll wait in the airport” Lena says.

“Sure… like what you said” Dmitri says, he hangs up the phone.

“W… what did you said?” I say, looking at Lena who sits next to me. “We’re going to pick the bag in Paris tomorrow” Lena says. I laugh in disgust “I can’t believe this” I scoff. She reaches over my hand, looking at me with ponty lips “Please… For the last time” She says. I inhale deeply and sigh “Okay… For the last time” I say, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. “Thanks, babe” Lena smiles.

I have no idea why Lena insists on getting back to work, does she had a problem with anyone out there or Sasha. And why she needs a lot of money, we haven’t go shopping or spending money in two months which I know we only spend the money on food. “Lena, I didn’t mean to ask this to you, but why did you work too hard to earn more money? I mean, you have enough money to live in years” I ask.

“If you have a problem out there, please let me know… Everything seems like not clear to me” I say quietly so as not to offend her. Lena inhales deeply as she removes her hands from me “Yeah… Unfortunately yes… I had a problem” She says. I stare at her with a serious look “What problem…?” I inhale worriedly. “You know Sasha right? She’s threatening me and asked me to give her 200K Dollars” Lena says.

“W… What?” I say in stutters. “This house which we’re living now was Sasha's and mine. We both bought this house for smuggling drugs before sending them around the States, and I used Sasha’s money which basically just 50K Dollars to buy this house, and now she wants me to give 200K Dollars to her. And I’m truly sorry for lying to you and not telling the truth” Lena says. “You lied to me…” I say, removing my gaze from her and staring at the balcony sight.

“I’m so sorry…” Lena says with a slight of grief in her voice as she reaches over my hand and holds it. “Maia…” She says in a low voice. “Baby, Please… I don’t want her to hurt you anymore. All we can do is give her the money and leave this town” Lena says. “Maia! Do you hear me?” She says. “Mmmhmm… Fine” I sigh. “That’s my girl” She smiles, wrapping her arm on my shoulder. “Now let’s eat… I’m starving!” Lena says.

I chuckle “Fine!” I say. Lena and I make our way downstairs, I hold her arm to help her walk. “Alright, here we go!” I say, letting Lena sits in the dining chair and release her arm from me. “Is that still hurt babe?” I ask. Lena laughs softly “No, It’s fine” She says as I walk towards the fridge. “So what would you like to eat for our amazing morning breakfast?” I ask, searching over the fridge. “We have a bunch of cereal here, fruits, and frozen meat” I say, looking at the foods inside the fridge.

“Mmm… I think I should cook for you today” I mumble. Lena looking at me from the dining table, she occasionally smiles and laughs softly. “Babe! Why did you smile like a crazy woman and tell nothing” I say, looking at Lena as I'm crossing my arms. “You remind me to my mom…” She laughs softly. “And I missed her…” Lena says with a slight of grief in her voice. I get closer to her and rest my hand on her shoulder.

“We can visit her sometime…” I say, caressing her shoulder gently. Lena looks up at me and she looks happy “Are you sure? You want to meet my mom?” She says. I laugh softly “Of course babe… why not!” I say and I kiss her lips. My phone suddenly ring, I could feel the vibration in my pocket “Oppss…” I say, reaching over the phone inside my back pocket. “It’s my dad!” I yell excitedly as I pick up the phone excitedly knowing that my dad is never missed my birthday.

“Hey, Mija! Happy birthday baby girl” My dad says through the phone.

“Hey, daddy! I miss you so much” I say through the phone as my eyes looking at Lena, holding her hand which rests on the dining table.

“I miss you too baby girl. Rosa told me that you live with your friend now?” My dad says.

“Hok… Hok … Yeah, I stay with a friend in Whitestone now” I'm choking.

“And she told me that you quit your job and that’s not a big information for me which I know that my daughter prefers running a business than work as an employee” My dad says.

“W… What do you mean daddy?” I say in stutters, my heart almost stopped.

“I thought you’re running your new small business like selling your new brand clothes or jewelry with your friend and that’s why you quit your job?” My dad says.

“What do you do Mija?” My dad asks.

“No, daddy… I do nothing” I say.

“W… What? Do nothing! How did you get money for living? Don’t say that you get money from your grandma” My dad chuckles.

“Mija, if you need money just tell me…” My dad says.

“No daddy I’m fine…” I smile through the phone.

“Ahh... I got it, did your friend support you? Please let me talk to him” My dad says.

“No! It’s not him… it’s her” I say.

“Are you guys best friend? Is she support you Mija? What’s her job?” My dad asks.

“Daddy… You punched me with a bunch of questions. Relax daddy… I’m fine” I laugh softly.

“Okay… Fine!” My dad laughs.

“I miss you so much Mija…” He sighs through the phone.

“I miss you too daddy…” I say in a low voice.

“Take care baby girl...” My dad says.

“Thanks, daddy…” I say.

“Te Amo Mija” My dad says.

“Te Amo daddy” I say as I smile and hang up the phone.

“Well… that was emotional” Lena says, squeezing my hand gently as she looks up at me. I laugh softly as I slide to the chair next to her “He never missed my birthday, but he always busy with his work… like all days since I was a kid” I say. Lena chuckle “Hehe… At least you had a nice childhood because of him, not like little Lena” She says as she caressing my hand relentlessly. I hold her hand, running her hand closer to my mouth.

I kiss the palm of her hand and smile “Now little Lena having a good life with her girlfriend who loves her forever… and she will never leave little Lena by her own” I say, staring at Lena’s eyes as I held my tears. “I couldn’t ask more… You fill my life with happiness and I don’t want anything else right now” Lena says as she points her eyes to mine. “Well… now it’s time to eat. I’ll make salad for us now” I say, standing up from the chair.

I kiss Lena’s lips before I make my way to the cabinet. I make the salad for Lena and me, cutting the fruits on the table, and mix all of them. “Damn, you look sexy babe!” Lena whines softly, looking me up and down from the dining table “And I’m so hungry now” She shook her head “Mmm… I mean I’m not hungry for the fruit, I’m craving something else” She says, looking at me up and down.

I laugh softly “Ugh… just tell me that you’re craving for pussy! Here you go” I say as I’m putting the salad on the table and sit on the dining chair next to Lena. “No, I mean yes… It’s been 3 weeks we’re not having sex” Lena says as she chews the salad. “Jeez Lena” I scoff as I’m grabbing the spoon on the table. We eat our breakfast together and it’s almost 10 AM here, I occasionally staring at Lena when she enjoyed the food.

I wonder what happened to Lena and Sasha, does Lena still had feelings for her even a little bit. Why Sasha keeps pursuing Lena, and why Lena can’t solve their problem before she decided to have me in her life. I keep my mind positive but the question keeps coming off from my head, the salad tastes perfect but the overthink reduces all the taste. I don’t want to add Lena’s burden but I have to ask her before our relationship gets further.

“Hey… We’ve been together for almost a year now and I have been having some thoughts about you and Sasha lately, this very important question haunted me since Sasha got here and hurt both of us…”

“I know this was my fault because I stole you from her, and if you love her or still had feelings for her, please tell me to go before my love to you overtakes me…”

“You’ve shown me that you care for me and I truly appreciate everything you did to me, but seeing you get hurt like this… It hurts me a lot and if getting back to Sasha can keep you safe, I’m ready to back off"

"And my question is…”

“Aleena Mitchell… Do you really love me?”
