"Jealous'

           "This chapter is dedicated to HerParamour for the amazing book cover"

Two hours have passed and all we did was eat, chat and laugh like a bunch of fools. I had started enjoying my time as soon as I started drinking wine. Amanda had told us a few jokes and Angie was laughing as if she was the funniest person on earth or perhaps she is Tig Notaro, who I found out about when I was doing my lesbian research. I had never had the experience of meeting people like us who aren’t Anna but now that I have, it was slightly refreshing. Although I had noticed that perhaps Amanda has gotten too comfortable around us as she had also disclosed that she hasn’t had sex in a few months which was interesting because according to my knowledge, no one can possibly stay that long without sex unless if they do not have a partner or straight.

“So what are you currently doing?” Amanda asked Angie.

“I am retired so all I do is stay at home and enjoy my woman” she chuckled

“That is just great, Amelia is still working and I have become a house wife” she said

“That sounds like a dream, I have been working all my life so I deserve this break plus Jane came at the right time” Angie said while squeezing my hand.

“I wish Amelia would relax a little bit because ever since we had Elena, all she does is work while I stay in this house because she said she didn’t want me to work hard which was a great idea back then but now I feel like I am ready to go out there”

“Have you opened up to her about this?” I asked

“Yes but she says she is not yet ready to leave work so I have to wait until she is” Amanda said

“I guess she wants the kids to be with either of you and not some nanny who might not treat them right” Angie commented

“I understand all that but I wish she would realise that not everything is about our kids” she sighed

“I learnt that communication is essential so make it clear to her on what you want” Angie advised

“Thank you” Amanda said while brushing her hands against Angie’s hands, innocently.

“My pleasure” Angie smiled.

“So Jane, you are an awfully quiet person while Angie is spontaneous” she said after an observation “It seems like she does all the talking” she chuckled.

“She does do all the talking because she balances me where I fall short, isn’t that what you and Amelia do because if not why would you commit to her for such a long time?” I asked

“Whoa! I am so sorry for the question, I didn’t mean to offend you” she laughed

“I am not offended” I said honestly

“Okay but to answer your question, we do fit like a puzzle” Amanda said

“I am so sorry for her, she is after all blunt” Angie chuckled and suddenly I felt like I was in a river drowning and Angie was not reaching out.

“It is okay, I also have a child like that so I know how to handle her” She smiled

“Well, I am not a child” I reminded them.
