JADE

I have loved Althea for as long as I can remember.

She was my joy, my pain, my everything.

Seeing her like that is breaking my heart into a million pieces.

I cannot bear the sight of her being miserable.

I am in so much pain.

I know that she's saying the truth this time. I've been with her long enough to know that.

I've been staring at those eyes for years and I have memorized every emotion it feels.

I would know when she's happy or sad.

Those big black gorgeous orbs always tell me.

I would know if she's excited or pissed about something.

Jeezz it would even tell me when she's horny.

Althea can lie to me all she wants but not her eyes.

I have mastered the art or science or whatever of reading them.

What surprised me though was when she knelt in front of me.

Guevarras are proud people. And Althea would be disowned by her own family if they only know what she's doing.

The fact that She was giving me her mother's ring and she had her eggs harvested for me is unbelievable.

Unlike me who had to work really hard to earn some money, Althea was born with a golden spoon.

Gold not silver. that's how rich they are.

She can get everything she wants. Literally, everything!

We were in college when we started talking about having our own family.

I brought the idea of adopting but it made her furious.

Althea, just like the rest of her pompous and imperious family, is very much concerned about their blood line.

I remember she told me that she will never ever, ever give her last name to someone else's child.

I thought that was invidious considering that we're lesbians and prone to discrimination ourselves but that's how they are.

And I have loved her with all her flaws.

If I didn't top all my classes and all, I don't think her father will even approve of me. being an illegitimate child myself.

So, even if I have sworn over and over that I am so fucking done with her, this seemed to be the deal breaker.

I have or will have a child with her.

I really don't give a damn about their family being high and mighty at all but I have always dreamt of bearing her child for like, forever.
