CHAPTER EIGHT -- Monday Morning
My phone alarm went off at 6:30. It was Monday morning. Ugh.
My boyfriend -- Jason -- was the first one out of bed. He walked out of the bedroom. I listened as he went into the bathroom. I nuzzled into Jana's neck.
"It's time to get up, Love."
"Fuck that. I'm not going to work today. I'm sick."
I giggled at that.
"That's a great idea. I'm sick too." I kissed the back of her neck.
I picked up my phone and sent a quick text to my boss at the law firm where I worked.
"Ugh. Sick today. Can't come in."
He's a sweet boss. He's 42 years old, divorced, and a brilliant attorney. His name is on the door. I've always had a big crush on him.
"No worries. Feel better. Hope to see you tomorrow." his reply said.
I pressed against Jana's back, holding her in my arms. She was snoring very softly softly. It was a beautiful sound. Musical almost. I loved her harder for it. I dozed.
After a while, I felt Jason sit on the edge of the bed.
"Erika."
I rolled over and opened my eyes. He was dressed in the slacks, shirt and blazer he had worm over here last night.
"I'm going to work. Can we talk later?"
"Of course. Just call me."
He bent over to give me a kiss, aiming for my forehead. I pulled his face to me and kissed him on the lips.
"I hope you have a good day." I told him.
"This weekend has been the best ever. I'm going to have an amazing day." he said with a bright smile.
I smiled at him. "It has been an interesting weekend, and I'm really grateful that you've enjoyed it."
He left, and I rolled back into my cuddle with Jana and fell into a deep sleep.
It was 9:30 when I woke up again.
Jana was rousing as well.
"Good morning love." she said.
I kissed her.
"Good morning."
She stretched her arms above her head, pulling her delicious breasts tight against her chest. I couldn't resist, I put my hand on them and squeezed gently.
"These are amazing. I wish they were mine." I said.
"They are, love."
She turned and pulled my face to them. I rubbed my face all over them, kissing, licking.
We made love. Sleepy, soft, sensual lovemaking. It was deeply satisfying. It felt natural, right.
When we were done, she went to the shower. I put on my robe and went to the kitchen to put on some coffee. I sat at the dining room table, reflecting on the weekend. Thinking about all that had transpired, I made some decisions.
I was going to break up my boyfriend -- Jason. His name is Jason, I thought.
I was going to do it gently, with as much kindness as possible. I didn't know exactly how to go about that yet, but that's what I was going to try and do. Despite the events of the weekend, I knew the relationship was going nowhere and I certainly couldn't see myself with him long-term. He deserved the chance to find someone who could.
I was going to go to law school. I have the grades, I have good legal experience as lead paralegal at the law firm where I work and Daddy said he would help me pay for it. I had already been accepted, but put it off. No more. It was time to get busy.
I decided also that I would take my Daddy's advice to heart, and begin a process of deliberate reflection on what I want and how to go about getting it.
I also knew that I had to decide what to do about my relationship with Jana, but that was a decision that we would make together.
I got up and poured two cups of coffee just as Jana came into the kitchen, toweling her hair. She was naked. Her glorious body shimmering in the mid-morning light, and so lovely.
I told her of my decisions.
"Here is another one for you to make." she said. "I want you to move in with me."
"Ohhhh-kay...." I said, surprised at the suggestion.
"Look, I know it's a horrible clichΓ© -- the joke about the lesbian second date and all -- but it just makes a lot of sense. If you're going to law school -- an idea I approve of wholeheartedly -- money is going to be tight. My loft is paid for so it won't cost you a dime to live there."
"We'll assume that they will let you keep working part-time and assume that you'll come out about even as far as money goes. Basically everything you earn will be for your personal expenses and spending money. And if they don't let you go part-time, you'll be set at my place anyway."
"Plus, it is a fabulous place and way too big for just me -- I mean c'mon, I have four bedrooms."
"AND, we would get to spend a lot more time together."
It was a compelling argument.
I realized I was ravenously hungry. "Let's go to lunch and talk about it." I said smiling warmly at her.
"Splendid idea!" She stood up and bounced into the bedroom. I went to the shower.
Standing under the hot water, I had to admit that I liked the idea of moving in with Jana. Her apartment was a downtown loft that was completely fantastic, and the idea of going to law school without asking Daddy for help appealed a great deal.
But I wondered, does this mean that I'm now in an exclusive lesbian relationship?
Is that what I really want? A lot to think about on that one.
I decided that we would just have to have an honest discussion about it.
Jana stepped into the bathroom.
"Holy hell. All I have to wear is this ridiculous outfit I had on last night. I tried to put on a pair of your shorts, but couldn't get them over my big ass."
I laughed at that. "I adore your ass." I said. "It's spectacular."
