A royal Christmas

the drive to the village mall

Lena's: POV
After l got done on the phone with Stef
I finished getting dressed after my warm shower. Mom and l had been out practically all the day l didn't expect for us to be gone for so long, when Stef called me up. She sounded annoyed, apparently Nadia's up to her old tricks again trying to chase another person out of my life again cause her marriage to Brandon is going down the drain, she sat down and lied to my face again. I don't know how much more l can take, l gathered my bag and jacket and rushed downstairs where l'm stopped by my auntie Alex. Where's my favorite niece rushing off in such a hurry Alex says to me, oh l'm on my way down to the village to Meet Stef Lena says. Do you mind if l tag along with you, cause your mother is working my last nerve beside l need to do some last minute shopping for the kids. There are a few things l forgot to pick up, Alex asks me. Sure l can use the company. Let me go get Daddy's keys to the Mercedes Benz, Lena heads to Stuart's office. I knocked on the door come in l hear him say, l entered inside his office and saw her him doing some work on his computer
Daddy can l borrow the keys to your Mercedes Benz Lena asks. Sweetheart we're are you off to in such a rush please don't tell me Nadia is at it again Stuart rubs his forehead, see this is one of the reasons why l never brought anyone l dated here
Cause Nadia has always tried running them away with her negative remarks Lena explains. Baby girl the keys are in the shed
Drive carefully, l'm sure Stefaine can handle Nadia on her own. She needs to knock it down a peg or two, Nadia finally met her match Stuart winks at his oldest daughter. Thanks Daddy Lena kisses Stuart on the cheek, then exits his office and goes to get the keys. Aunt Alex you ready to go Lena came back in the house, yeah let's head out before Olivia and the kids wake up. Alex States as she follows Lena out of the house, the light skinned woman unlocks the vehicle and hops inside and starts up the engine. Alex gets in and buckles up her seat belt, Lena looks both ways before backing out of the driveway. She rolls down the windows to let some air in, are you excited about getting married Alex asked Lena. Lena concentrates on the road as she's driving down the highway, Stef is the sweetest person I've ever met with a huge heart. She's done very well for herself
On our two year anniversary she gifted me with a brand new house with several bedrooms and three bathrooms and so on
Then she got down on one knee and asked me to marry her and l said yes of course
I've met Stef's parents their good hearted folks. After we get married we wanna start a family please don't tell my mother you know how old fashioned she can be at times, Stefanie is so different from my last relationship. She makes sure l don't  want for nothing, my best friend introduce us
She isn't with me for my money cause she has her own Lena explains. Well it seems like you too genuinely love each other, a word of advice don't let my sister dictate your life for you, she almost caused me to lose Olivia with her duma. Sticking her nose in our business, luckily Olivia stood her guard and didn't back down to your mother. I'm assuming Nadia has started on your fiancee already like your mom she is Alex said, yeah it's getting to the point
I wish we could run off and elope some where, but l don't want to break tradition
I am the daughter of the king and queen of New England Massachusetts. I don't want let my parents down you know, Lena expressed her concerns with Alex who understands where Lena's coming from
She's been in her nieces shoes before
Lena pulls into the parking lot of the village mall. Horks the horn where she sees Stef walking over to her, Lena pops open the trunk. So her wife to be could put her bags inside, Lena turns off the ignition and exits the car grabbing her purse. Alex got out as well, auntie Alex this is my finance Stefanie Foster and Stef this is my favorite aunt who lives in the suburbs Boston Massachusetts
That one l was telling who was a law professor at Harvard University and her wife teaches at Berkeley college of music
Lena tells Stef. Wow that's impressive l have heard so many wonderful things about you Stef shakes the older womans hand, Alex smiles wide at the beautiful blue eye blonde. Her niece has good taste in woman, l guess you inspire my wife to be a educator too Stef replied. I just told her to do whatever makes her happy Alex stated
Let's go get this shopping out of the way before my before my wife blows up my cell
Wondering where l am Alex States, we walk into the mall entrance.
