SANA

Certainty of her pregnancy, all she really hoped were to take that 1% out of her way for good. But that phone call was just taking forever.

She left her work around 5:30. Georgina covered some of her tasks to help Sana be home on time. By the moment she arrived at her apartment (5:50) she could smell the familiar shrimp scampi with linguini from Mrs. Claus. It was her favorite. Dahyun was setting the table. She gave Sana a warm smile and one of the best hugs Sana felt in her life. She loved how she could hear Dahyun’s heartbeat when they hugged (it was the whole height difference thing) and she noticed how fast it was beating right then.

“How was work?” Dahyun asked, her face touching the top of Sana’s head.

“You know, stressful brides, lost suppliers, worried grooms, just a normal day.” She took a deep breath to inhale Dahyun’s perfume. Dahyun always showered before leave the gym, after her daily training routine. There was something about her gym soap Sana could not explain. It was so good. “So, what it is the ‘important thing’ you want to talk about?”

“You are too eager, Ms. Minatozaki” Dahyun said in a playful tone. “Let’s eat first, before the food cool down.”

“Fine.” Sana said with a pout. “This got to be good, Kim. I’m already anxious enough for one lifetime.”

“What else is bugging you, babe?”

“You know, just… well let’s eat, I don’t want to wait anymore.”

Sana and Dahyun sat at the table. Dahyun was really in an unusual happy mood, talking about some of her students and their goofy fails. Sana was making her best to pay attention on Dahyun’s conversation, because deep down she was worrying about everything: her almost sure pregnancy, Georgina’s hint about a proposal, the new assistant she would need to hire, the phone call that never came. And Dahyun was there, talking about trivial things while she was bursting inside. Luckily Sana was not feeling nausea with the food, which was a good thing, right? Right.

They finished their plates, Sana took them to the dishwasher, while Dahyun poured some wine in two glasses, taking them to the living room. Sana could feel the tension building up in the air. Her hands were sweating, her heart beating in a frenetic rhythm. She took a series of deep breaths in order to calm her down.

“So, the important thing…”Dahyun said handy Sana one glass of wine and making room for her girlfriend to sit by her side on the couch.

“I’m all ears” Sana took a generous gulp at her wine.

“Remember when I said about the potential sponsors at the L.A. Marathon?”

“Of course!” Sana was feeling a little less anxious with the conversation route.

“I got two Sana, two!”

“What? Two what? Sponsors?” Sana almost spit out her wine.

“Yes,Sana! Can you believe it?” Dahyun’s eyes were sparkling like diamonds.

“Oh, Babe that’s huge!” Sana placed her glass over the coffee table and gave a tight hug on her girlfriend. Dahyun hugged her back even more tightly.
