Chapter 82: Chapter 82

We’re done the dinner in 30 minutes and get ready to bed after. Lena is taking shower and clean herself consider she just been on a long flight, and I prepare the bed for us to sleep. This bedroom is pretty messed up because no one sleep in here, Rosa makes this room unoccupied because both Rosa and Alison sleep in the different room. I smile when remembering this room was the place that Lena and I used to spend our night together, it left me some memories of us.

I need to fix everything… I need to fix my future plan. I don’t want to live in fear like this. I don’t want Lena to drown deep into her business and never back to normal lives. I need to talk to her tonight and make everything clear, but I’m not sure. My mind is full of thought, thought of how could I explain these feelings to her. She maybe didn’t like it, but I have to tell her before everything getting worse.

“Hey, what are you thinking? You’re not noticing me coming like usual” Lena says, she's placing her hands on my waist and standing behind me with a towel wrapped around her body as she kisses my neck from behind. I truly didn’t notice that she just out of the bathroom and standing behind me because my thought overtakes me from reality. “Umm… nothing babe, I just making up the bed and not realizing that you’re here” I respond.

“Mmm…” She heavily sighs as she off her hands from my waist. Lena grabs loose short pants and a t-shirt inside her luggage before she’s wearing them. “So, how was your last trip?” I ask as I keep making the bed. “Was great…” She replies. I done the bed and make my way to sit on it. “Well, sounds good!” I say as I placing my ass on the bedside, and get ready to slide into the bed. “Yeah” Lena sighs as she makes her way to her bedside and slides next to me.

“Mmm-hmm… it’s convenient” Lena says, she’s pulling me closer to her. I rest my face on her breast as my eye keep looking up at her. Lena smiles, she’s caressing my hair and play with it. “So, what will we do now?” Lena asks as she wraps her hands on my back and hugs me onto her. “Hmm… laying?” I laugh softly. “Hahaha… wow, I didn’t expect that” She laughs. “What happened, babe? Why you contemplating” She sighs, she caressing my hair.

“What’s wrong?” Lena asks as she keeps playing with my hair. “Mmm… I- I just…” I reply in stutters. Lena heavily breathing, she raises an eyebrow and rests on her elbow, she put her chin on the palm of her hand and give me a serious look. “Look, just tell me everything on your head and I’ll listen to it, I’m not gonna mad or judge you” She says. “Lena, you know that I love you so fucking much” I heavily sigh.

“And I truly want to be with you for the rest of my life…” I inhale as I look at her in tense. “But I can’t live like this, I can’t live in fear… and I want you to change… I want you to stop the business and rebuilt your new life. With me… like a normal people!” I start. “I don’t mind if we might don’t have everything in future, I don’t mind if I have to work as a waiter in a small coffee shop in town” I laugh softly.

“But the most important thing is that you are safe… you don’t have to deal with those scary mafias, you don’t have to risk your life out there. I’m scared Lena… because what? Because I love you… and I can’t see you dead in front of my eyes, I prefer to see you alive even though if I won’t be able by your side anymore” I exclaim, tears dripping down out of my eyes. “And I’m so sorry for this… I’m so sorry for asking you this shit” I sob.

Lena wipes my tears and pulls me closer onto her torso, she hugs me tighter and caresses my hair. “Ughh… you know what” Lena heavily sighs as she caressing my back softly. “I’m so grateful that you care for me, but love is about acceptance and it’s like coming home after a long trip, that’s what love is like…“ Lena keeps playing with my hair, she's caressing it gently. “Like coming home...” She smiles as she looking down at me.

“I’m not telling that you’re not accepted me for the way I am…” She states. “I got it! And I understand how was your feeling, having a dangerous scary life with me” She laughs softly and smiles. “But I love you, Maia. I really do… and I’ll try” She heavily breathes. “I will leave my job… but I need to settle a couple of things before I leave Dmitri alone, okay?” Lena demands. “And we’ll have a nice ‘normal’ business after” Lena chuckles, she kisses my lips.

I cup Lena’s cheeks and kiss her deeper, I’m so happy that she finally agrees with me to leave her scary dangerous job and do normal life. “Promise me that you’ll leave your job as soon as possible?” I demand. “Hehehe… I will” She chuckles. “Am I asking too much?” I ask. “No, babe… you don’t” Lena laughs softly, she runs her fingers through my hair and caressing it gently. “I just worried and scared” I explain. “I knew and you don’t have to explain that” Lena smiles.

“Alright, so what do you do in these past 30 days without me? Tell me your story, I wanna hear that before sleeping” Lena asks, she obviously changes the topic. “Mmm… you know there’s a small cupcake shop near our house” I start. “Yeah” Lena hums. “I went to that place every evening to pet the owner’s dog” I laugh. “Hahaha… Seriously?” Lena laughs. “Yeah! And I bought the cupcake so don’t worry” I roll my eyes and chuckle.

“That’s weird, isn’t it?” I point my gaze to the ceiling. “Nope, I don’t think so” Lena replies as she keeps hugging me which rests on her torso. I heavily breathe and my gaze keeps looking at the ceiling, thinking about what’s the next plan for us for living. “You wanna dog so bad, aren’t you?” Lena asks. “Mmm-hmm maybe…” I hum as I remove my gaze from the ceiling and looking at Lena who hugs me tight on her torso, making a nice cozy position for me after.

“But I’m not ready to taking care of another living creature for now” I respond. Lena left a soft laugh but sweet, she's caressing my back after. “Look at you! You've grown...” She chuckles. “I’m 25 now, and we’ve been together for over two years” I roll my eyes. “Well, you’re right” Lena groans. “And it doesn’t mean that we don’t have to change our future… we need to change and get a better life” I state. “Yes princess, I got it…” Lena groans.

“That’s great! You understand what I’m saying” I respond. “Ughhh… cuddle me for the payment!” Lena groans as she's pulling me closer to her. I wrap my hands around her waist and chuckle, hugging her tight before we both decide to sleep. My breast pressed against her chest, causing a very comfortable feeling. I could feel her heartbeat piercing deep into my chest and that’s making me more comfortable.

“It’s almost 11, we have to sleep! We’ll back to Whitestone early morning tomorrow” Lena says. “Rosa hasn’t back either, I’m worried” I reply, I’m about to reach my phone and calls Rosa. But she suddenly opens our room and checks on us. “Hey, you guys sleeping?” Rosa asks in a low voice. Lena and I turn around and looking at Rosa as we still wrapped in each other’s arms. “Hey, I’m about to call you” I reply softly.

“Thank God, I thought you guys sleeping!” Rosa responds in tense. Lena and I get up from our bed and make our way closer to Rosa. “What happened?” I ask in whispers. “I got a problem!” Rosa points her gaze downstairs, both Lena and I see a couple of men sits in the living room, they wear black leather coats and dark jeans. “Who’s that?” I ask frantically. “I don’t know! They follow me and asked me about my ex-husband, he has debts with moneylenders” Rosa explains.

“Jesus Christ!” I mumble. I wear my basic clothes before we walk downstairs, we make our way and face the men after. “So, what do you guys do in here?” Rosa asks, all of us sit on the couch in the living room. The guy clearing his throat before he says his first sentence, he rests on his elbow after. “Huk…huk… your know, your ex-husband leave his debts before you get divorced” He starts. “And your name is legally on the signed contract” He says.

“Jesus Christ!” Rosa mumble, her blood exploded. “He runs from us and we have no idea where is he now, that’s why we come to you and ask you to pay all of his debts” The man ends. “What the fuck… she don’t even” I respond, my ass half up from the seat. Rosa shushes me and asks me to calm down. “Hey” Rosa holding a hand up for me to sit down, then I back to sit. I heavily sigh and cool myself down.

“How much he owed you?” Rosa asks. “50 thousand dollars…” The man replies. “Are you fucking kidding me? That’s a lot of money! Jesus” Rosa exclaims. “Give me your bank account, I’m gonna give the money to you” Lena suddenly states, she left us shocked. “No, no Lena!” Rosa shook her head. “It’s not only 500 dollars, but that’s 50 thousand dollars! I don’t know when I could pay you back” Rosa replies. “It’s okay, you don’t have to pay back” Lena says.

Lena walk towards the drawer and took the check with her, she signs the check and gives the check to the debt collector. “Okay, now we’re done!” Lena states as she gives the check to them. “Well, have a good night!” The man replies, they make their way out of the apartment after. “Both of you just ruined our night!” I mumble as I cross my arms. Rosa closes the door and makes her way full speed to Lena.

“Are you fucking kidding me, Lena?” Rosa shrugs. “W-what?” Lena raises an eyebrow. “You give them the money? You give them ‘your’ money” Rosa grunts. “That’s a lot of money, you know” Rosa sighs, she's placing her hand on her forehead. “Hey, it’s okay! You don’t have to pay back, I didn’t ask for that, chill...” Lena responds, she left a soft laugh but sweet after. “Okay, I’m gonna sleep” Lena up from the couch and grabs my hand.

“You wanna sleep or not?” She asks me. I nod and hold Lena’s hand, we leave Rosa in the living room and get back to our room. “Hey, you don’t have to help us like that” I state in a low voice as I sliding into the bed. “Hey, that’s okay” Lena kisses my forehead, she's pulling me onto her torso and hugs me. I exhale in relief as my eyes looking at her. “How did you do that? How did you do that after you leave your job?” I wonder.

“I wonder how much money do you have?” I ask in a low voice. “It’s doesn’t matter! Hehe” Lena chuckles. “Mmm… I left enough money for us to survive” Lena whispers. I raise an eyebrow as my eyes keep looking at her. “Is that drugs money?” I ask in whispers. Lena laughs softly when she heard my words. “Not all of them, but mostly” She replies. “Okay, now we have to sleep, okay? I’m so tired” She groans. “Okay…” I respond in whispers.

“Okay, now... be my little spoon!” She chuckles. I smile and run my face closer to her. I kiss Lena’s lips before both of us in a spoon position. She cups my cheeks and kisses my mouth deeper. Lena pulls my hair gently after and locked my face with her. “Good night babe” I whisper. “Good night” Lena replies under her breath. I smile and turn around, Lena spoons me from behind, hugs me, and caressing my thigh until both of us fall asleep.
