IT'S THEIR DESTINY TO LOVE BEYOND LIMITS...

Seeing her as more than just a friend would drive her heart wild, she is special to me in every way. Her name is Jana, and she has no idea how she makes me feel inside. I have known her a little over two years, but it feels like forever even when we talk every day.

It's not like we haven't planned to see each other again, it has been in my mind to finally be in love with a woman, and she has been the one closest to my heart for years. Jana and I have the same thoughts and beliefs of a happy couple. She's never been with another woman, so this is my chance to show her the love I feel but take it slowly and thoughtful as possible.

I believe Jana can be happy with the right person as though it might be scary at first but what woman isn't when they go for someone new? This is my story of how my happiness to Jana Johnson is worth it. My name is Angel Knight, and I will be taking you on an unforgettable journey of true love. I hope you will join me as we walk along the path to discover what brought Angel and Jana together.

# Chapter One

Angel was living with her grandmother since she was seventeen and her own mother kicked her out and then abandoned her, leaving to another Country. All that happened just because she kissed a girl, Scarlett Thomas, which her mother didn't approve. Luckily, Angel's grandma wasn't so conservative, and she took her in, creating a home for both of them.

Before the kiss, she had no clue Scarlett liked her that way. But after that first kiss, they have been dating until the Graduation, the whole year and a half. Later, they broke up, agreeing they were too different to continue with their relationship and their relationship always had a abusive way to it that made Angel cringe of the memory. Scarlett found another girlfriend in High School, but Angel never even tried. She didn't see a point.

She was living in a small town, called Rose County. There were almost no schools or kids. People usually picked this town for vacations, rather than for living. With her blue eyes, long blonde hair with soft curls. Angel always loved her own body, and many people would agree that she was a natural beauty. She played on the guitar and loved to work at her bookstore, down at the Strange Creek Rd. And who wouldn't want a cozy bookstore to settle in and relax after a long day? She adored that small place with all her heart.

She liked to be alone, as she never believed in love like you can read about in the books, nor she never saw a point in it. When any guy attempted to have her, she pushed him away immediately. She thought about them as useless creatures, thinking of that icky thing between their legs. Yuck! Of course, even though she wasn't in any relationship, she wasn't alone. She had a really good friend, Shauna Meigs, who worked in her store, and Angel could always rely on her. Unfortunately, the only thing they had in common were a book. They tried to talk about other things too, like school, friends, relationships, political views and such, but Angel never felt like she can give her the number of her cell to hang out after work.

"Do I seriously have to go on this date? I mean seriously what if he's like the last one?" Jana complained to Destiny, who was her best friend for more than fifteen years.

"Girl, I have already settled down and had a child, you need to give this guy a chance. Heck who knows, Gunther could be the one. Did you ever think of that?" Destiny tried to support and encouraged her friend as they were getting Jana ready.

Jana rolled her gray eyes then looked herself in the mirror. Her short, brunette hair barely touched her shoulders. She always loved to go out with her friends, but dates were something entirely else. She sighed.

"Gunther looks nice, but it's only one date. I don't believe I can find the one just like that. For all we know, he could be a stalker or even a murderer."

Destiny got a laugh out of that response. Jana was sometimes melodramatic, she wondered how she even got through her life.

"You know Jana, if you would prefer a woman, I do know someone that would make it worth your while."

Jana turned away from the mirror and raised an eyebrow at her friend. That was the most ridiculous proposal she has ever heard.

"I'm straight, and you know it. I'm not going to date a woman because you find it amusing to assume I'm so phobic about men. Don't even try to convince me."

Destiny shrugged. "Suit yourself. Just don't be so judgmental about Gunther. He doesn't deserve that, and all you know, he could be worth it."

Jana heard the doorbell ring. She jerked her head to the sound and quickly answered. "You got me there, but it still doesn't mean anything."

She went to answer the door. Just as she expected, there was Gunther. He was in a black suit with a red tie, which made Jana think they are unintentionally matching. She wore a lovely red dress that fit her body perfectly.

Gunther took her hand in his, kissing it like a true gentleman. When his lips touched her skin, she felt nothing. She tried not to frown, disappointed at the lack of chemistry between them. Before his eyes met hers, she quickly put on a fake smile on her lips. She could just hope the date won't be boring, and she won't start yawning somewhere in the middle.

"You look very beautiful tonight. Are you ready for our date?" His voice was deep, created to send chills to a woman's body. Just not in hers, apparently.

"Yes, I am." Jana sweetly smiled.

Then as she was about to close the door, she let out a call to the back of the house to her friend.

"Destiny, if you're going out tonight please be sure to lock up. See you later this evening."

As Jana closed the door behind her, she walked down the steps to Gunther's car and saw how gorgeous it was. Sometimes she liked to peeking into car magazines, so she knew it was a red, brand new 2003 Monte Carlo with tinted windows. It blew her breath away. Maybe this evening won't be so bad after all.

As Gunther opened the car door, she saw it had leather seats and knew it had to cost a fortune to get a beautiful car like this. She sat in the passenger seat, waiting for Gunther to make his way around. As he got in on his side, she looked over at him and smiled again, then turned away and faced the road. He started the car, and they were on their way to a fancy restaurant. Gunther cleared his throat. "We are going to Maya's Italian Diner. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure, sounds perfect." Jana slightly smiled. She wasn't exactly fond of Italian food, and she would rather have a steak with some potatoes and green beans. But since the Italian food was good too, if you knew what to choose, she decided not to complain. She didn't want to hurt his feelings or sound like an ungrateful person.

They arrived at the restaurant ten minutes before their reservations. As Jana got out of the car, she saw the beauty and enjoyed the cool breeze of the evening. She noticed a fountain in the distance and walked over to it. She sat down and took off her heels, then climbed on the edge with her shoes in her hands. Taking each step around it, she enjoyed the feeling.

Gunther looked around and was disapproving. He seized to her, trying to take her down.

"I'm just having fun. Relax, nothing to be embarrassed by." She told him, her good mood drifting away.

Gunther replied harshly. "You know what? This is supposed to be a serious date where we should get to know one another, not fool around and act like kids. Come on, we are both professionals, working in a hospital. Get a grip."

Jana didn't like his smart mouth. What was wrong with this guy? Shouldn't he just let her be herself for a while? It's not like she was playing in the dirt, she was just dancing around the fountain, trying to have a good time.

"Then I guess I'm not the one you want. I like to have fun and not be serious all the time." She stopped moving, glaring angrily at him. He was a complete asshole.

"Just go home and find someone else. This date is over."

Gunther didn't even try to convince her to change her mind. He shook his head in disgust at her childish behavior and walked off, leaving her on the side of the fountain.

Jana walked around it several more times until she headed home herself. She felt something wet on her cheeks. Tears. Great, she thought to herself. That's just what I needed.

*

Angel was taking a jog near her favorite fountain when she heard this couple arguing. That lady was beautiful in that red dress, and she took her breath away. Angel wanted to approach her, but it seemed to be bad timing with the guy looking like a jerk.

Angel took out her phone and snapped a picture of the woman, so she could remember what she looks like next time she went out.

As she turned to leave, some stranger guy approached. "So, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night by yourself"

Angel rolled her eyes. Like she had the time to talk to him. It annoyed her how some people thought they could just start talking to her.

"How about none of your business?"

The guy was acting like he didn't hear her. He just continued with his blabbing. "Listen here baby you're coming home with me tonight alright?"

Angel pushed him away and walked off as the guy grabbed her shoulder. He pulled her towards him.

"I don't like the way you are treating me. You might want to behave, little missy." He hissed in her ear. Angel shook in disgust. That was just too much.

She struggled against him and then kicked him with her knee, right between the legs. Bastard. There was fury inside her, that made her disliking of guys even bigger.

He stumbled back, his hand losing his grip. His face is twisted in pain, and he was completely out of breath. Angel felt satisfaction. He deserved that.

"How about this, you ignorant asshole! Keep your hands off of me and leave me alone!" she spat at his face. She barely held back, to not kick him again.

The guy didn't respond, and he was still whimpering.

Without looking at him again, she ran to the other end of the park. There she saw the lady from before, sulking in her tears. It seemed she was heading home too. Angel slowly approached her.

"Miss are you okay?" she gently said.

The lady looked up at Angel and nodded. "I am having a bad night." She told her.

Angel patted the lady on the shoulder. She felt like that was the best way to soothe her.

"Would you like me to walk you home? I'm Angel by the way." She asked her.

The lady smiled. "Sure, it wouldn't hurt. I'm Jana." She wiped away her tears. She wasn't crying anymore.

Angel had to remember her name. Jana was so beautiful and nice, she would break her nodating rule. Since she was a girl, Angel wouldn't mind getting to know her better.

As they walked about four miles away from the park, she realized, Jana's looking flushed. She remembered how that man ditched her, probably before the date.

"You look like you haven't eaten this evening. Would you like to go somewhere to eat that is both reasonable and fun? Maybe a café down the road?" she asked politely, hoping the woman would agree.

Jana smiled at Angel uncontrollably. "That would be wonderful. I'm starving since my date decided to be a jerk and leave me before our dinner."

Angel felt so happy at that moment because the guy left her, and it was her chance to make a new friend.

"Don't worry, I had a rough one too, some random guy just tried to take me home with him, so I kicked him where it counts and made sure he couldn't get up for a while. What went wrong with yours?"

"He just didn't want to have fun and I did. He wouldn't even join me on the fountain for fun." Jana sadly replied.

Angel shook her head. Some people were such jerks. "I would have joined you. That sounds fun and enjoyable."

Jana was relieved to hear her say that. She would just die if Angel thought she was childish too. She felt like she just made a new friend in the middle of the night. And she wasn't going to be alone when she goes home.

As they reached the café, they realized it was already closed. They stood in front of the building for some time, not knowing what to do. That was when Angel came up with another plan. She gently patted Jana on the arm to get her attention.

"How about we go to my place? It's just another block away. I can make you something, like a cup of coffee or tea or whichever would you prefer. What do you say?" Angel suggested. Jana smiled as she nodded.

"Sure. That will be great. I don't want to be alone tonight, since my roommate and best friend went out. I would really like a night away with you."

Angel released her shoulder and smiled all the way to the house feeling pleasant that she got someone to finally hang out with.

# Chapter Two

Jana was left alone to walk herself home and after her distressed date with Gunther, she couldn't help herself just bursting into tears. He needed to be more fun and not so uptight. After another horrible date with some guy who is always talking about work and doesn't know anything about having fun. Was she really so unlucky?

She couldn't help but cry over it, even though it was plain stupid.

But then she was about a mile away from the park, she heard some noise. There was a commotion going on. She turned around to see unknown blonde lady getting into some struggle with a guy.

Jana wanted to turn away. It wasn't her business whatever was happening, and she was also too scared to go over there and help. She started walking again, but then out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a woman kicking the guy in his sensitive parts.

That made her smile and giggle a little, through her tears.

Then as she saw the lady running in her direction, she continued to walk at a slow pace, no rush to get home to an empty house. Destiny and Roscoe had a date night on the town, so there was nobody waiting for her.

Jana got a little startled as the lady approached her to check on her. As they kept talking, she ended up getting to know what happened. It turned out the lady's name is Angel, and she seemed fun to be around.

Jana was kind of in shock when Angel invited her to the house for a drink since the small café in the town was closed. Jana couldn't believe she made a new friend that night. As they finally approached a small apartment complex, it gave her a whole new perspective that some like to live in quiet and alone.

Angel and Jana walked side by side to Angel's apartment as they got about three stories up the tall building they finally reached the door. On them there was a number 30C, made of brass, proudly hanging on them.

Angel reached for her key in the back pocket and slid it into the hole. She turned it and opened the door, watching them slide aside.

"Guests first." She waved her hand to her apartment.

Jana walked in. It was very dark, so Angel closed the door and turned on lights, apologizing for it not being organized. Jana looked around, curious to see how Angel lived.

"Oh, it's alright, I understand being busy and exhausted."

Angel rushed over to Jana and grabbed her hand, guiding her to the kitchen and setting her at the bar. She smiled at her.

"What would Miss Jana like to drink and eat? I have Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sweet Iced Tea, Milk, and of course Water. As for food, I can make Mac & Cheese, Sandwiches, Ramen Noodles, and possibly a TV Dinner of Lasagna." Jana felt her stomach rumble.

"I will take water and I'll settle for a Sandwich. I'm not picky, so whatever you'll make it will be good," she honestly replied.

Angel smiled, grabbing two glasses from the hanging cabinet.

"I will do the same for myself then. So, Jana, what are your thoughts on dating?"

"I don't like them because they are usually no fun." She mumbled, looking down at the counter. Angel could relate to that matter. That was usually the case with her too.

"Yes, you're so right about that. It seems guys only want one thing."

Jana looked up at Angel with a shy smile. "When was the last time you've dated or been in a relationship?"

Angel looked down as she served the water to Jana and started making the sandwiches.

"I have done both. Unfortunately, the one I was with for two years, left me for someone else. It was hard to move on from that relationship, and I haven't found anyone else just yet."

Jana couldn't beat that. She had never been in a stable relationship to experience. Angel could see the sadness in Jana's eyes, realizing it wasn't best to ask the question and avoid it at best. So, Angel figured asking a different question as she put the sandwiches on the table as she waved Jana over saying,

"Dinner is served. We have ham and cheese with light mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and light salt with pepper. I hope that is okay? I also wonder what made you move to this town?"

Jana walked over to the table sitting in the chair beside Angel replying,

"It sounds great and looks yummy. I have moved out here because I wanted a change of pace and also to try and explore what is around here. I am from Sampson, which is about two hours from here."

Angel smiled with her mouthful with finishing her bite.

"I have an idea where that is," she responded.

"Though I have never left here since my grandma passed away. Being alone has been my best option for me. I would rather not deal with a roommate."

Jana liked her best friend and roommate, but they needed one another for support. She couldn't imagine being by herself too much, with no one to speak with.

"I am sure in time you will find someone to love and support you. Someone, you will want to share your life with," she told her.

Angel laughed.

"Sorry, I rather just deal with my customers and my co-worker and friend Shauna. Everyone else is just annoying, and they don't understand me."

Jana felt compelled to say something though didn't as she finish her sandwich and Angel handled the plates and glasses.

Angel could suddenly feel the tension between them as it turned into a rather late night. It was already close to five in the morning with neither of them on set minds and in need of rest.

Angel went to the closet, getting Jana her bedding since she would be sleeping on the couch.

She really didn't feel in particular having someone in her bed. Angel took folded the blanket and placed it at the end of the couch and set the pillow on top. Then went to her room, grabbed a nightgown for Jana, and brought it to her.

"This is all I have. The bathroom is in my room, but I will not barge in on you. Go ahead and get yourself settled in and we will speak later."

Angel watched Jana head to the direction of her bedroom and could feel so curious what it'd be like to be with Jana full time. She shook her head, thinking better of it not to imagine being with another woman as it only causes more heartache.

Even the thought of being in love felt wrong, especially with what Scarlett did in the end that left her hurt so bad that she felt so sick to her stomach that she would rather hurl than feel that type of relationship again. Angel decided to watch television until she heard Jana get out of the shower since she rather not walk in since that would be a rude thing to do. Angel knocked on the bedroom door saying,

"Jana are you dressed?"

Jana replied,

"Yes, I am."

Angel walked into the room as Jana came out of the bathroom and Angel sat on the bed looking at Jana with sorrow in her eyes saying,

"I am sorry for earlier ever since my ex-girlfriend left me, I feel that I have to act on it by hurting someone."

Jana sat next to her.

"It's okay, you didn't mean to. We both have had a rough night I will take the couch it's fine," she said.

Angel shook her head no and slightly grabbed Jana's hands replying,

"Can you please stay with me in here, I have slept alone for quite some time now, and I can't take it much more."

Jana looked around nervously trying to come up with words to say but could only respond,

"I am not sure I could do this. This is all new to me being with another woman."

Angel felt such remorse to her thoughts of being with a beautiful woman that has literally taken her heart for extra leaps.

Angel held onto Jana's hands a little longer saying,

"I understand. But you must know I think you are beautiful in your own way, and I will be here if you need me."

Jana released her hands and walked away, closing the door behind her as Angel heard Jana crawl onto the couch and go to sleep.

Angel sighed as she made her way into the shower with her night clothes. As she stripped down completely, turning on the faucet to the shower and just getting right in relaxing in the heat feeling her tense body. She was having a hard time calming down.

When she heard the bathroom door creak open, she jumped in surprise. She peeked through the glass and saw Jana looking at her. She just scrubbed her body even, feeling Jana's eyes on her. She turned around slightly seeing Jana seated on the toilet.

"Angel, I can't sleep." Jana complained in a tired voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry if the shower bothered you, Jana. I wasn't trying to disturb you." Angel replied apologetically.

"It's not that, Angel." Jana's voice became shaky.

"I just never had a friend who cared as you do. My best friend Destiny doesn't understand me, she has a husband and child. A life I have always wanted, but unfortunately, tables have turned to where I can't find that one guy I could love."

Angel felt bad for feeling lust for a straight woman. She should have known better.

"Jana, men have no idea what they are missing. You are as beautiful as they come, and I would appreciate you more than any man would."

Jana turned her face away. She was embarrassed by those words.

"Thank you, Angel, but I am not interested in women by far. I just want a guy to understand how much it would mean for me to settle down and not rush me into the bedroom."

Angel sighed and shut off the water as she saw Jana leave the bathroom. Feeling unsure how to handle Jana, she just dried off and looked herself in the mirror, then slipped her clothes on and headed to bed in silence.

# Chapter Three

Jana left the bathroom in silence as soon as she saw Angel get out. Now, she is just sitting on the couch.

Her thoughts were swirling around the fact Angel admitted her attraction to Jana. It made no sense whatsoever, she just didn't understand.

She got out of the night clothes and slipped into her date night clothes, then left to head home. She closed the door quietly not wanting to disturb Angel. She's thankful they didn't switch numbers at that moment.

As soon as she got halfway down the hall, she heard a voice call her. Feeling guilty, she turned around to see Angel, her face looked betrayed.

Jana slowed her pace.

"Angel, I must go this isn't right for either of us. I rather just be left alone since I am straight, and you are obviously lesbian."

Angel walked over to Jana and turned her around to face her.

"Look at me," she ordered in a soft voice.

"So, what if I feel attracted to you? I'm actually bisexual, I just prefer women. That makes me no different. Jana, I will not hurt you in anyway, just come back to my apartment. Please."

Jana shook her head, trying to deny Angel's words. The next thing she knew, there were soft lips against hers, not longer than a second. Jana couldn't breathe. She looked at Angel and touched her lips with shaking hands.

"Why did you do that? I told you I don't like women in that way, and you just kissed me anyway. An innocent woman, and with such hunger."

Angel shook her head. Her lips twisted into a sad smile.

"You are literally blind, Jana." Her words didn't put blame on her. Angel knew she has to be the one to open Jana's eyes, making her realize, she can like a woman. That she can like her.

"You are beautiful, and I want you to come back to my apartment. I am not out to hurt you at all, I find you very attractive, and no man will ever treat you the way I will." Jana didn't like that speech. She shoved Angel against the wall.

"You have no idea who I am and what I am. You can't just assume what I feel towards a man if there is one good enough for me."

Angel crossed her arms over her chest. She won't give in so easily.

"Jana, you didn't even hear me, again. But that is okay."

Angel gently removed her finger from Jana's lips. She grabbed her by the hand and dragged her back to the apartment closing the door behind her.

"Okay, listen to me one more time. I find you very beautiful, and I'm not going to be some guy who leaves you hanging like that idiot did yesterday evening. I am willing to show you what a real woman can do to please you in every way."

Jana stood they're looking at Angel dumbstruck, unsure what to say. She just thought of what to say next, but nothing came to words. Jana sat on the couch without a word. Angel sat next to her.

"I am so sorry for being so honest with you. But since I met you yesterday evening, I just can't and won't let my feelings go without knowing." She sighed. She just wished Jana could feel the same way about her as she did about Jana.

Jana looked at Angel. Her eyes were full of questions.

"Why me? Out of all the women in this world, you choose me. I'm nothing compared to anyone else and my best friend Destiny has the life I want and crave for."

Angel smiled and hugged Jana. She didn't try to leave her embrace. Angel counted that as a small win.

"That is where you are blind on. Women that are friends or couples can have all that as well.

Please, just give me a chance to show you and will go from there."

Jana took a deep breath looking down at her hands. She is still deciding if she should accept Angel's suggestion.

"Are you sure about this? I mean we just met, and I am not sure what to think of all this. I wouldn't even know what to tell anyone that knows me?"

Angel placed a finger over Jana's lips responding,

"We can keep it hidden, do you agree? I just want what is best for you and me, for us. I have never been attracted to a straight woman before, but you took my breath away."

Jana gently removed Angel's finger from her lips replying,

"I have never met anyone so crazy about me, but I need to call my roommate Destiny and let her know where I ended up since she might still think I'm with Gunther." Angel grabbed her house phone.

"You can just tell her you ran into me on the way home, and we are just having coffee or whatever you wish to tell her."

Jana nodded then took the phone into the bedroom as she dialed the apartment number upon answering the first ring was Destiny.

"Hello, who is this?"

Jana sighed. There she goes.

"Hey Destiny, it's me, Jana. Just calling to tell you my date with Gunther went bad, and I am safe with someone new that I came across while walking home."

"Where are you? I am coming to get you now...You better give me that address." Destiny sounded frustrated.

Jana didn't respond and just hung up the phone. She walked out to the living room to see Angel smiling.

"How did it go?"

Jana shook her head. She probably shouldn't have hung up, but she didn't want Destiny to come out there.

"Destiny thinks she can just take me from where I am and take me back home. She would probably lecture me on my dating points. I had to hang up on her before that, so she couldn't find me. I hope you didn't have caller ID?"

"I don't so she can't come and get you." Angel smiled.

Jana smiled to herself, thankful for Destiny not able to find her right away. In the meantime, she will get to know Angel a bit more.

Jana and Angel talked most the day away, stealing kisses every now and then, but nothing more went beyond that even though in the back of Jana's mind she wasn't sure what to feel with Angel. It was a whole new path that has taken her for a leap of faith. Jana held Angel's hand and looked her deeply into her eyes.

"I am glad we met, but I must get changed and head to work. Even though I don't want to, with Destiny also working there."

Angel held her hand a little tighter.

"How about we take a different route for your job, you can come work at Frostfire in downtown with me? It isn't that far, and you can leave that job it obviously isn't worth it."

Jana shook her head responding,

"No, it isn't worth it, and I am glad to have lost a day of sleep with you. I'm ready to move on to your job, but I mustn't wear out my stay I must go back to my apartment and work on living near you. At least so I'm not too far out of my way, but it'll take me awhile to get where I need to be."

Angel nodded with a smile kissing Jana softly on the lips then releasing replying,

"We can take this slow and date it is no issue, I would love it if you lived near me, but I know

money can be tight and such so in time you will be here in my neighborhood."

Jana smiled then walked with Angel to the door as they gave each other one more kiss then Jana grabbed her purse and left. Angel could feel herself getting a bit chilly being by herself then a knock startled her thoughts, she peeked out the door it was Jana as she opened it saying,

"I forgot to give you my number let me write it on a pad for you."

Angel smiled grabbing a pen and a pad of paper as they switched numbers then they kissed one more time than Jana left as Angel watched the beautiful woman walk in pleasure. Angel slowly closed her door then sighed as she leaned against it feeling the sudden loss of her new love leaving for a while which they forgot to exchange on, and they have a positive outcome. Soon as Angel got up from the door, her doorbell rang she was hoping it was Jana coming back again for something else, but when she looked at the peephole she saw it was Scarlett so she sighed and unlocking her door saying,

"What do you want Scarlett? We broke up a long time ago."

Scarlett pushed Angel inside, and they both landed on the couch as Scarlett kissed her long and hard as Angel tried to shove her off then once she pushed her off saying,

"What do you want Scarlett?"

Scarlett gave a sweet smile replying,

"I want you back, of course, baby. You are my world, I have realized that."

Angel shoved her out of the apartment responding,

"Get the heck out of here and never come back, you found love in someone else and so have I, so get out, GET OUT!"

Angel locked the apartment again then crawled into a corner rocking herself with the fright of Scarlett breaking the door down since she is crazy enough too. Angel fell asleep an hour later with a thought of Jana in her mind seeing her beauty in her dreams as they kiss with pleasure taking on a full sexual thought from feeling each others breasts to going down on each other and then ending in a cuddle that made her heart leap. As soon as she heard a knock on her door she could hear Jana calling her name and she ran to the door, opening it with a big smile as she hugged Jana tightly saying,

"I have missed you, oh my goodness I have had a rough evening after you left, my ex-girlfriend Scarlett came by, and forcefully kissed me then expected me to take her back, oh please, please, please just stay with me Jana. So, she doesn't come back."

Jana held Angel, gently brushing her hair and pushing her lightly to the couch replying,

"I have missed you too, and I am sorry you had a rough night. I will stay with you as long as you need me and Scarlett isn't getting you, you have me."

Angel looked up with a teary response,

"Really?"

Jana nodded and wiped away Angel tears replying,

"Yes, I am right here and I won't let you go."

Angel kissed Jana's cheek as Jana did the same as she lifted Angel's head saying,

"So, when you did sleep what did you dream of?"

Angel turned away and blushed replying,

"Ummmmm....I am not sure how to tell you this but....I um...uh...had a hot dream of us."

Jana turned Angel around responding,

"Oh, really?"

Angel giggled replying,

"Yes."

Jana and Angel giggled together then Angel got up from the couch and pulled Jana with her to the kitchen saying,

"We need breakfast, it's been a long weekend, and we need to eat more than that sandwich from the other night."

Both ladies laughed as Jana grabbed the eggs and Angel got the bacon out as they both made a meal together while talking and carrying on.

After they had eaten, Angel grabbed Jana by the waist, kissing her with gentle ease. They moved on to the bedroom and Angel pushed Jana to the bed as they kept kissing with passion.

Their tongues intertwined together, feeling the mist of each other. Grinding their hips together and fondling each other's breasts with their clothes on, as each feeling the pace of their breaths together and they kept going in motion together.

They both squirmed beneath each other. When Angel placed her hands outside of Jana's jeans, she felt the wetness soak through. Jana is repeating the act, as they both kept kissing in intensity. They rubbed each other between the legs and both let out deep moans in between kisses. They tried not to holler each other's names into the air, as Angel felt Jana's wetness soak even more. That was when they both stopped and looked stared straight into each others eyes.

"That was amazing," they said at the same time.

The both giggled, and Angel rolled off of Jana with a sweet sigh as did Jana. Angel lifted up on her shoulder.

"I know that wasn't actual sex," she started. But that was wonderful in so many ways. "Jana, you are amazing in more ways than one."

Jana smiled at Angel looking into her eyes.

"As you are but don't we have to work today?" she replied.

Angel shook her head.

"I have given everyone in the bookstore a break from working so much, we've been going nonstop since we opened last year."

Jana sat up looking at Angel in surprise. "How long have you been giving all your employee's time off?"

"About two weeks, enough time for everyone to recover from the major holidays," Angel winked.

Jana didn't know what to say because that is a lot of work from last year's opening to now. "So, how does the business look financially?"

Angel couldn't hide it as they made quite a lot in the past year.

"We've made over a thousand or so, plus taxes and such," she told Jana.

"Wow!" Jana replied in complete shock.

# Chapter Four

Jana couldn't believe that she and Angel just made love in their clothes. That has never happened before, she could recall having done that with a male partner in her past. It was such a breathtaking experience, that Jana would do it again with Angel, just to feel the closeness beneath her fingertips.

As Jana watched Angel go to the shower, she had the urge to follow her. But, she held herself in check from following her and just waited until Angel was finished. In the meantime, Jana got herself off by rubbing herself more. She could hear Angel finishing herself off in the shower, which excited her even more. She had an orgasm in her panties. And at the same time she heard Angel having an orgasm in the shower, which was a sigh of relief for them both.

Jana moved away from the bedroom door and went into the kitchen to wash her hands. Angel walked into the kitchen smiling.

"I am not the only one who needed pleasure by the voice of another." Jana blushed.

"I guess not. I'm going to hop in the shower really quick, I'll be right out."

Angel nodded seeing Jana rush off to the shower as Angel turned on the television to see that Scarlett got put into a mental ward for abusing her girlfriend, Anissa. Jana came out of the shower seeing Angel smile.

"What is going on?"

Angel smiled even more.

"Scarlett is in a mental ward for abusing her current girlfriend. Finally, because I never had proof to get her even behind bars." she told her.

Jana picked Angel up and twirling her around while placing a kiss on her lips.

"Thank goodness! That woman should remained locked up. The key should be tossed away so she never gets out." she agreed.

"So, I got to thinking. Since you don't like to be alone, and we just made love in our clothes, I thought that it would be a good idea I moved in with you. I think would feel so much safer in the event that Scarlett tries to come by here again after she gets out."

Angel grinned even more by kissing Jana repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes. A thousand times, yes!" Jana giggled at that enthusiastic answer.

"Well, then it's clear I'm moving in. I need to get myself more clothes, extra stuff, and come back."

Angel nodded excitedly.

"How long will it take you to get everything and return?" Jana thought about it.

"I would say about an hour or two, no longer than that," she responded.

Angel gave an a-okay nod. Jana left Angel's in a hurry. As she walked by, she caught eye of Destiny, looking at her with an evil eye, knowing this is going to be hell to get away from Destiny now.

Destiny approached Jana saying,

"Where have you been the past twelve hours? You haven't come home at all since you met this new friend."

Jana shrugged. She didn't want to answer. Destiny shouldn't treat her like a child, or girlfriend. She should leave her alone.

"It's none of your business, Destiny. You got a man who keeps you busy I'm sure, between the sheets."

Destiny looked closer into Jana's eyes then responded,

"You have fallen for someone I can tell your mood has changed, and I know it isn't Gunther or Max since you more than likely pushed them away, so who is it?"

Jana rolled her eyes replying,

"If I told you who will you leave me alone?"

Destiny nodded then waited for the response from Jana,

"Destiny, I am dating a woman her name is Scarlett Thomas."

Destiny finally moved back from Jana replying,

"You are with that crazy chick on the news, are you nuts? I would have been happy if you just told me you were with another woman but her...no, no, no way you have to move out of my apartment because she isn't welcome at all...you hear me?"

Jana laughed and got in her car as she responded,

"I am glad you agree with me moving out because that is what I am doing and I am actually dating a better woman than Scarlett Thomas, but that is for me to know and you too never find out, see you later Destiny."

That was when Jana decided to ditch her car and began walking to the old apartment as she stuffed everything in one big black bag then rushed out of the apartment and headed back towards Angel's within fifteen minutes to spare as she knocked on the door. Angel smiled seeing Jana with everything in one bag, and curiosity got her saying,

"Where is the rest of your stuff?"

Jana walked right into the apartment replying,

"I am not worried about it. Destiny can sell the rest for rent or get a new place with her husband and child."

Angel raised an eyebrow responding,

"Did you and Destiny leave on bad terms?"

Jana smiled with a reply,

"Yes, and I am glad we did, she was way too nosey for my liking and stalking my every move."

Angel nodded then closed the door as she went to Jana and give her a hug. Jana stepped away from Angel's hug saying,

"Now, I need to find a place for my clothes and essentials?"

Angel grabbed Jana's hand replying,

"How about we place them in my drawers for now until I can get a bigger place for the both of us, so you will have privacy too."

Jana nodded responding,

"Though, we could go find a house or bigger apartment this weekend. I do have extra funds from being with Destiny, she actually kept giving me money. So I'd go out, but the money went towards books and saving for elsewhere to live. It sounds selfish I know, but I got tired of her nagging me about not having a man in my life."

Angel shook her head giggling replying,

"How about this we will stay here in the meantime, and when the time comes we will move, right now we will share my room along with everything else, I honestly don't mind."

Jana blushed replying,

"Sounds good to me."

Angel kissed Jana on the lips whispering,

"Just so you know, my mind never left that afternoon when we made love in our clothes, you are beautiful in my eyes."

Jana lips curved into a smile whispering back,

"I have never thought that would happen and not sure why, I have no idea what to think or say besides thank you."

Angel grabbed Jana's hand leading her towards the couch as they both sat down, Angel said,

"Jana, I know we just met forty-eight hours ago. But, I really think you are wonderful and even though we haven't known each other for very long, I wouldn't trade our time together for anything."

Jana blushed bright red not sure what to say at all with a woman like Angel confessing her heart to a woman she barely knows.

# Chapter Five

Angel couldn't believe her eyes. Seeing that Jana returned, and then kicked Destiny out of her life, it was like a miracle happened before her very own eyes. As she looked into Jana's eyes, it was like a complete spark went off again in her body as she could feel the urge to keep holding hands, and even make love.

That afternoon just brought them even closer. It was such a feeling of excitement that Angel couldn't contain. Especially since Jana was within her grasp. Making love without clothes would come in time. And then they would both be able to see each other's beauty and that would just make Angel go completely crazy. Angel took a deep breath then spoke.

"Jana, how about we get you arranged in my room? That way you can rest and be recover as we need to head to work in a couple of weeks."

Jana nodded as she got up from the couch grabbing her black bag of stuff and carrying it to the room as Angel watched Jana bend gracefully picking up her bag as Jana turned around saying,

"Are you enjoying the show?"

Angel laughed getting up off the couch and helping Jana carry the big black bag replying,

"Actually, yes, you have a nice butt."

Jana rolled her eyes not sure how to respond to Angel's flirting. Angel giggled, even more, seeing Jana react the way she does. It seemed that a woman has never hit on her before which is surprising seeing how beautiful she is in every way possible that makes it breathtaking. Angel helped Jana put away her clothes, essentials, and helped her hang up some pictures that she brought around the apartment. Angel wanted Jana to feel at home, so it was important to her that Jana hang any pictures or display any nick- nacks that she brought with her. It was not only Angel's home, but it as Jana's now too. As Angel was helping Jana, she could feel closer to her.

As they were hanging up some pictures, the phone rings, and Angel picks it up saying,

"Hello, how may I help you?"

A voice on the other end replying,

"I need to speak to Jana please if she is there?"

Angel saw Jana still putting away things.

"May I ask who is calling?" she said.

Voice on the other end gave a shaky voice replying,

"I am...um...Gunther....her partner...may I please speak to Jana?"

Angel sighed in frustration then responded,

"Sure, hold on a second."

Angel placed the phone down then went over to Jana saying,

"Gunther is on the phone for you."

Jana looked up shocked replying,

"How did he get your number, oh my gosh, this is not what I needed, I am so sorry Angel...."

Angel grabbed Jana's hands responding,

"It is okay, don't worry about it."

Jana nodded then answered the phone, and as she spoke into the phone she could hear Jana getting frustrated then Angel heard Jana say,

"I am a lesbian now, so go to hell and never call here again...GOODBYE!"

Jana looked at Angel with a shocked look on her face. She can't believe she just said that. She knew Angel was within earshot when she said it. Angel said,

"Well, that is a nice way to get a man off your back."

Jana shook her head replying,

"I have no idea where that came from....I never said that to anyone before."

Angel hugged Jana tightly whispering,

"You have nothing to worry about it is all going to be okay."

Jana nodded agreeing then kissed Angel gently as Jana could feel the heat between her legs warm up as she said,

"Angel, I never thought I'd be attracted to you like this, and now all I want to do is be with you even in bed....I know we already fooled around once even though it wasn't deep passionate love making...."

Angel cut off Jana replying,

"Jana, sweetheart, breath, I had a feeling this would happen the moment we saw each other. Neither one of us knew the attraction we have for each other would be through the roof. But, I don't want to break your heart either since you aren't even sure who you are. I mean, sexually, you are still straight and you could possibly be bi or lesbian, but that doesn't have to be figured out right now. I know I'm lesbian because for one a man's penis makes me sick and queasy also it is just disturbing to even think about, I'll never want to sleep with one. Now as for you, I can't answer whether you have slept with a man and liked it or you are a virgin still learning who you are."

Jana heaved a sigh responding,

"I am a virgin never had sex with either gender, but you are correct that I need to explore before I can even verify that I am straight, bi or lesbian. Though being attracted to you is an amazing feeling at least in my mind."

Angel kissed Jana's forehead replying,

"In time we will be in bed together, for now, let's just enjoy one another like sharing a room and getting settled into this new beginning together."

# Chapter Six

Jana was up extra early getting ready for another great day of work at Frostfire. Sleeping next to Angel has been a blessing compared to the men she had always ended up sleeping next to that always wanted sex, and she wasn't all for it.

Angel felt Jana get up. She looked at the woman, seeing her amazing luscious lips and her beauty of her naked body as the nightgown fell off her beautiful form. That made Angel lick her lips, but she kept her hormones in check to not scare Jana. They had kissed a few times and grinded against each other when hormones were up, but they didn't go any further.

As they both fell for each other day by day, it was a miracle that nothing happened in between including exes. Angel and Jana held hands in public, kissed at times but never jumped each other like rabbits to make their relationship fall through the cracks.

Angel grabbed Jana by the wrist as she whispered,

"Don't leave the room yet, I have a surprise for you."

Jana giggled because Angel has been showering her with gifts non-stop. From roses, teddy bears, jewelry like homemade necklaces, homemade bracelets and now another gift. As she saw Angel get out of bed naked and moving with pure grace that is when she turned around from the mirror in her uniform that she saw the present in her hand, wrapped perfectly in a red box with a blue bow.

They have only lived together six months and life is perfect for them no matter what it is. So,

Angel got down on one knee bare naked saying,

"This isn't an engagement proposal so you know, it is a promise ring from my heart to yours. This has been an amazing six months even without making love to you. I can kiss you and sparks will fly. Jana, you are the most amazing woman, and I do promise to take you as mine for as long as you want me too. So, will you take this as a promise?"

Jana smiled with tears streaming as her makeup washed down her face replying,

"Oh Angel, it is a beautiful ring and with the right stone, and you are amazing too. Yes, I accept this beautiful ring and your promise."

Angel slipped the blue heart-shaped ring on Jana's ring finger as they kissed with tears of joy. They haven't argued and stuck together through everything since living together and working together at Frostfire that has been amazing as well. They have discussed changing the business name to something that will stand out more, with the hopes that it will continue to bring in more customers. They have been even thinking about remodeling the store to. It could use a nice makeover.

Jana and Angel showered again since Jana had makeup all over her face that needed cleaned off plus she got to shower with her best friend. They got dressed in their uniforms after the shower, and headed off to work. Angel is manager, of course, Jana became her assistant manager, and everyone loves there loves her work ethic. Jana took care of all the finances business wise and kept track of all the books that were sold. She also has done a great job keeping everything all organized and anything else Angel required. It blew Angel away that completely Jana could move just as fast as her.

Jana looked at Angel in curiosity as she saw amazement in the woman's eyes saying,

"What?"

Angel just smiled as she replied,

"You are just beautiful when you work the way you do."

Jana giggled responding,

"So, you find this ragged old body beautiful?"

Angel grabbed Jana's butt replying,

"Sure do."

Jana smacked Angel on the shoulder as they went back to work.

*

After a long day of working at Frostfire with Angel, Jana felt relieved to be home with her lovely girlfriend, she couldn't believe the ring on her finger as it shimmered in her eyes. Jana saw that Angel fell asleep on the couch with the television on and her sweet tea on the coffee table. As Jana went into the kitchen to get a drink, the doorbell went off scaring Angel out of her sleep as she rushed to the door with her eyes wide open. When Angel opened the door, there was a big buffy man standing in the doorway saying,

"I need to speak with Jana."

Jana stepped out from behind Angel replying,

"Um....hi..."

The buff man pulled Jana on the wrist as they walked down the a hallway. As they walked, he whispered to Jana,

"Since when did you decide to be with a woman? Last I checked you were straight, and we were supposed to be married very soon."

Jana whispered back to the buff man,

"I am not sure who I am yet, and I do like Angel she is wonderful. Wallace, just give me space, hell you have multiple girlfriends anyway. I don't fit in with your lifestyle anyway. So, here is your ring back, I have been meaning to return it."

Wallace shoved Jana into the wall and kissed her with desperation that made Jana shove him off her saying out loud,

"That was rather rude, now just leave, I am not coming back with you after this."

Wallace had tears in his eyes as he walked away looking down at the floor. As Jana got back inside with Angel saying,

"I am so sorry, that is my ex-fiance Wallace....we had a relationship of fifteen plus years, but he is just too busy for me and never really loved me."

Angel hugged and kissed Jana as she replied,

"Don't worry Wallace can't hurt you any more, I'm here for you."

Jana shook her head as memories flooded her brain of the bond they used to have as she responded to Angel,

"I feel like I'm letting you down since you've had to deal with two men that has forced themselves on me which were Gunther and now Wallace."

Angel patted Jana on the back as she replied,

"Relax, it's all okay...plus those two aren't even worth it. I can turn around on you by just making love to you." Jana laughed.

"You are something else, Angel." She told her with all her heart.

They kissed a bit more in the doorway, they went inside. They decided to watch a romantic movie called "Perfect Ending."

*

Angel has began making their morning coffee. They have been in their apartment together for over a year now, and she always watches out the window for birds that capture her eyes. Birds are such beautiful creatures to watch she thought.

Angel still hasn't pushed Jana to making consensual love in the morning due to her still being a virgin and not knowing where it would go. But that's not to say the temptation to make love hasn't been there. Because it has been. Jana is still too shy to go that far without clothes. Angel didn't want to press the issue and risk losing Jana over this. Angel has learned to let Jana prepare herself when she is ready. They have watched some lesbian porn to make her a bit comfortable but it makes her more nervous if Angel touches her a certain way. When Jana is ready to take the next step all she has to do is say so. In the meantime, they have been making plans to move to Kansas and start a brand new life together. So, they needed all the time they could get so they can finish packing and cleaning up.

Yes, it has been made official they are indeed leaving Frostfire to begin a new adventure. They will be leaving the store in the hands Shauna Meigs the young lady who started there last fall who has now blossomed into a manager, and has agreed to take over so Angel and Jana can move on, and possibly have a new bookstore in Kansas. If they decide to have kids in the future, having them be a part of this bookstore would be awesome. That is if they decide to have kids. That decision is still up in the air.

Jana came up behind Angel wrapping her arms around Angel saying,

"Good morning, love."

Angel turned around looking at Jana with deep love that she couldn't help even with the messy hair and pinkish cheeks she replied,

"Good morning, darling. Coffee is ready and we still have more packing to do before we leave, I have to pick up the truck today too, it's going to be a long haul with everything."

Jana smiled with joy responding,

"Thank you baby, either way I can't wait to live near my parent's. Oh my goodness, they will love meeting you."

Angel drank a sip of her coffee then placed it on the counter as she replied,

"Sweetheart, I am not sure how your parents are going to handle us. Anyways, I am sure we will both make it either way, you are my everything and I love you."

Jana kissed Angel as she responded,

"I love you too more than I have with anyone else. I just wish I knew who I was inside and out."

Angel placed her head against Jana's smiling replying,

"You're you and that's all that counts to me."

Jana released Angel as she went and got a cup from the cupboard, filling her cup with some black coffee with sugar. Angel watched Jana smoothly moving and watching her every move. Every move just made Angel's heart flutter with joy little thing she did and it made her heart flutter with joy. Being with a beautiful woman like Jana each and everyday just made Angel appreciate her more each and every day.

Jana sat down at the table sighing to herself and was lost in thought about home and everything about it, she always called home when she could. It was like she moved here two years ago or so and now she's moving back home. In her heart she knew she made the right decision. She is looking forward to going back. It will be different for sure. Just a good kind of different. She is older now, grown into a mature adult. I knows Wallace will probably come looking for her. But as far as she was concerned, Wallace can go get sucked up by a tornado.

As if on cue Angel is ready to finish packing and get a move on since they had nothing left here but the shop that she adored with everything inside her. Frostfire is in good hands with Shauna. Shauna is known for her marketing skills, being a waitress, handle the register, and much more. She is Jana's clone. Shauna can do everything. They have made Shauna like their little sister. If she ever needed anything all she had to do was call. Now that they are moving, Shauna will be missed, but Angel and Jana are a phone call away if she needs them.

Angel called for Jana again as Jana sighed placing her coffee cup in the sink, cleaning it out along with the pot and everything else as she stored it in the box then headed over to where Angel is which is in the small library room. As she walked in Jana saw that Angel had almost all the books down with a greeting smile Angel said,

"There you are, sorry for taking your thoughts away babe but we have to get a move on before the afternoon heat gets worse and we still have a long drive to our new home in Kansas that is awaiting us."

Jana nodded as she helped moved boxes to the living room with Angel as they moved as many as they could before Angel needed to go for a walk downtown to get the U-Haul truck. Though it seems their home is crammed with vacationers that living has become a nightmare for both of them since it wasn't as exciting as when they first started dating.

Jana grabbed all the boxes she could then she heard the truck pull up and that is when Angel jumped up for joy and then ran up to Jana saying,

"Okay, I know this is going to take us a while but we will get it done baby, we are halfway through our day. Soon we'll be hitting the road to the land of oz! This road trip is going to be so fun!"

Jana is so ready to go, they moved every bit of furniture, boxes, supplies from each room into the truck since they had to go with to their new house. Just as they got the last box in the truck they both stopped and took a breather. That's when they heard someone running toward them. It was Shauna who was out of the breath saying,

"You both packed already? Wow! You two had tons of stuff in that small apartment."

Jana and Angel laughed as Jana replied,

"It's mostly all of Angel's with her books, dressers, and such, otherwise not really much more is to pack besides the coffee maker that we had our last brew this morning."

Shauna hugged them both with tears falling responding,

"I'm going to miss you both, you two have taught me a lot and it has been so amazing these past few years."

Jana and Angel hugged her tightly in return as Angel replied,

"Just remember not every hire is going to be what you need, this is your store now not ours, and you can change it around or keep it the way it is. We support you and are here for you. Remember we are just a phone call, text, email and instant message away."

Shauna giggled responding,

"I am going to rename it Midnight Cafe give it a more simpler name than what we have now so that way I can work at night instead of during the day since I have college to still attend too."

Jana gave Shauna another hug replying,

"Just do your best and I am sure Frostfire will be following us."

Angel clapped her hands together getting their attention responding,

"Alright ladies, I must get us on the road. Long ride ahead of us, fourteen and a half hours is a long drive from here."

They all gave each other more hugs and peck kisses and went on their way. Shauna let more tears fall more as she saw Jana and Angel get into the truck then head south. Shauna realized that even though she was shedding a lot of tears, they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of joy. She was so happy that Angel and Jana found each other and she was excited for them because she knew this move would be good for them and that they will have the future that they so rightfully deserve.

# Chapter Seven

Angel watched Jana go to her parents house seeing her beam with excitement to be back in her home state. Angel felt herself yawn again from exhaustion but knew that she had to take the truck back that afternoon, so sleeping wasn't an option at the moment. A long drive through the night into the next morning as they made it into Kansas, though Angel let out a big yawn from all the driving. Fourteen plus hours is a long drive from one location to the other on complete opposite sides of the country. Jana hadn't slept a wink knowing she is going back to her home state, they decided to move to Kansas because Jana had missed her parent's too much though she talked to them on the weekends, it made her feel better to be close to home and Angel has nobody left but her beautiful girlfriend Jana.

Making their way into Cherokee County that lead them to Roseland, a beautiful countryside with neighbors down each side as you can see rows of hay and trees beyond the wild woods. Jana became so mesmerized by everything, she just couldn't sit still wanting see her parents after so long. Approaching their new house that looked cute as ever for a doll house, it is a two story house with two bedrooms and two bath that they found online for a very reasonable price. It is in need of some painting, landscaping, and a fence for their future dogs that they plan to adopt, and many more plans to make the house look amazing.

Angel parked the truck in their new driveway as Jana jumped out the door and grinned from ear to ear then planted a kiss on Angel's cheek saying,

"I'm going to see my parents as their house is just a few doors down to let them know we have arrived, oh my goodness, this is so exciting!"

Angel let Jana go to her parents as she watched the love of her life beam with excitement to be back in her home state even though Angel is pure exhausted from the trip but she knew the truck had to be returned by that afternoon. Angel found the new keys and unlocked the house as she found herself looking around the new place. My gosh this house is bigger on the inside compared to outside she thought. They will need to get some new furniture as there wasn't any in the house. It's no big deal Angel though. She and Jana have a home that they can grow old in together and possibly having a family Lost in her thoughts she heard Jana calling for her. Angel became very nervous because it is time to meet the in laws of her wonderful girlfriend though they aren't married it might as well happen at this point because meeting any in laws is a harsh reality of marriage down the line. Angel walked back outside seeing Jana still smiling while standing between her parents. Jana felt more in a hurry so she grabbed Angel by the arm and tugged her to them as she made the introductions. Meeting Jana's parents, her mother Mary Johnson and her father Gabriel Johnson although they seemed to be taken aback a little bit to discover that their their daughter is dating a woman. But thankfully they were accepting for the most part.

Angel let out a frustrated sigh in front of Jana's parents not meaning too, but Gabriel saw the struggle on Angel's face, as he asked,

"What's wrong, Angel?"

Angel looked at the truck then back at Gabriel replying,

"I need to have the truck back to U-haul by this afternoon and we still need rest so that way we can unpack everything, I am mentally exhausted from driving I can barely function."

Gabriel patted Angel on the back responding,

"Give me the keys to the truck and I will take care of it for you. Mary, please take these girls back to our house to let them rest. I am going to contact some buddies of mine to get these ladies moved in and settled. See you all within a few hours or so."

Angel handed over the keys to the truck and house as they went back with Mary to their house to rest for a while which in this case Jana managed to stay up more than she should have.

Sleeping for several hours in the upstairs Angel stretched finding herself snuggled against Jana with a smile on her face, she kissed Jana's forehead letting her finally sleep for as long as she needs too. Angel snuck off downstairs to meet Jana's mother Mary who had coffee ready with a smile on her face.

"Good evening, Miss. Knight, did you and Jana have a nice rest?"

Angel found it rather sensitive to be asked that but she decided to respond naturally in a positive matter.

"Yes, I did Mrs. Johnson, we did. Thank you."

Angel went over to the coffee maker making her usual as she heard feet pounding the stairs to see Jana making her way over to Angel with a smile.

"I am so ready to see our new home, I hope everything is all squared away so we can start to unpack and settle in. This is so exciting!"

Angel laughed as she sipped her coffee replying,

"My love, we have plenty of time, relax, and get some tea or coffee. I am sure you would like more time with your parent's while I go pick up some supplies for the house."

Mary perked up with a smile saying,

"You girls won't need to get a thing. Gabe took care of everything from cutting the grass, fencing the yard, garden in the front lot, and beyond. Him and his buddies have been at it all day, their expecting to be done no later than tomorrow since the paint has to dry and they need to clean everything up. You two will be staying here until the house is complete."

Angel and Jana looked at each other stunned but what are they supposed to do in the meantime? They don't have a vehicle so that Jana can show Angel around Kansas. Plus they haven't even figured out all the kinks in their new home either. Being in Kansas is a whole new territory for Angel and the last thing they want to do is feel like a burden to Jana's parents as since they have done so much for them already. However, on the flip side, this would be a good time to test the water and really find out if Jana's parents are really that accepting of her relationship with Angel. If they'll keep accepting. Jana already decided that regardless of what her parents think, she is with Angel all the way.

"When is our house supposed to be completed?" Angel asked.

"According to Gabe, no later than tomorrow afternoon." Mary replied.

Angel let out a sigh and Jana looked like she was going to cry but held it in as she asked her

mom,

"What are we supposed to do in the meantime, sit here and twiddle our fingers?"

Mary pondered a moment then headed upstairs to retrieve something. though both ladies were confused as it is. Mary came back downstairs with handing Angel some keys saying,

"I am sorry but Gabe forgot to mention that he has a truck for you all out front. A brand new one at that, I am surprised we were able to afford it with our own new car but he wanted it to be a welcome home gift."

Angel and Jana smiled as Jana replied,

"Thank you, Mom! What kind of truck did Dad get?"

Mary shrugged her shoulders responding,

"Heck if I know, I am not good with vehicles."

Jana hugged her mom then kissed her cheek as both Jana and Angel headed out the front door in the mid-afternoon sunshine. They looked next to the car seeing a big Dark Blue Chevrolet truck. Turns out it is a 2010 model. It isn't brand new but it is definitely in good shape. It looks new as it is just beautiful Angel looked at Jana saying,

"Where to my love? Mall, Bookstore, Coffee Shop...anything but sticking around here."

Jana thought about it then replied,

"Let's get dressed into some decent clothes and pack for a night away at a hotel since we don't have to be here until tomorrow afternoon. I don't want to stay here any longer than I have too because something tells me that my parents are going to be having a long deep discussion on my choice of a partner."

Angel hugged Jana tightly and kissed her forehead responding,

"I wouldn't worry to much, we will go do something, let's go shower and head out of here. You need more sleep as it is and so do I, we can grab food on our way out."

They walked inside together as they prepared for the night away from everything though Jana let Mary know what was going on, and agreed to terms that it is best because once Gabriel came home there is going to be a big discussion on their daughter that she didn't want Jana to hear about. Jana went over to their house telling her dad what was going on and Angel met Jana at their driveway while their house is still being worked on. Angel definitely couldn't wait to get away from all the noise and enjoy time with her woman.

# Chapter Eight

Leaving in the mid-afternoon for their evening in Kansas City, Jana wanted to Angel take Angel everywhere and show her the sites and everything she did while growing up. And everything meant taking Angel to her her first major league baseball game to see her favorite team the

Kansas City Royals. Jana found out the Royals were playing at home against the Seattle

Mariners and grabbed tickets the minute she found out. She was able to get some great seats. The seats were behind the first base and a few rows back from the Royals dugout. It also happened to be the night that they had a fireworks display right after the game. Jana knew Angel would love that. Angel has never been to a baseball game, much less a huge sports fan in general. But she was up for trying something new as long as she was with Jana. She knew she would enjoy it and have fun as long as she was with her.

Before they left to begin their adventure in Kansas City, Jana had called the hotel while at her parents to confirm reservations. Angel has no idea what Jana has planned, but it didn't her Angel because anything she does with Jana is always an adventure. Once Jana was off the phone it was time to pack, shower, and hit the road to Kansas City so they could get to the game in time before it starts. Jana wanted to Angel everything about Kauffman Stadium and didn't want to waste anytime.

The drive from Roseland to Kansas City as about two hours. They had plenty of time to get to Kansas City. The two hours went by fast as the weather was beautiful, the windows were rolled down, and music blaring. As they entered Kansas City, Jana grew more excited as they drove down I-70 and and eventually saw the big crown that lead to the stadium. Angel just loved seeing Jana so excited. As they approached the parking booth to pay for parking and drove to their assigned parking spot, Angel was just amazed at how full the parking lot was. Angel parked the car and as she and Jana were walking through the parking lot to make it to the ticket gate to enter the stadium, Angle asked Jana,

"How come everyone is having a big picnic out here in the parking lot. It smells amazing!" Jana replied,

"It is called tailgating. People bring their own food and grills and cookout before the game. My family and I did that a lot when we went to Royals and Chiefs games. It was a blast!"

Angel responded,

"Chiefs games?"

Jana said,

"The Chiefs are Kansas City's NFL team. If you look right over there that is Arrowhead Stadium were they play. You see a lot of tailgaters now, its there is three times a much during football season when the Chiefs play at home!"

Angel was just amazed by what she was seeing. She has never seen anything like it. Angel and Jana continued to walk through the crowd of tailgaters and finally made it to the ticket gate. They gave their tickets to the attendant and they walked into the stadium. Angel was mesmerized by how big and beautiful the stadium was from the outside. It was just as big and beautiful in the inside.

Jana took Angel's hand, "We still have plenty of time before the game starts. Let me show you around!"

Jana showed Angel every part of the stadium. From the Hall Of Fame all the way to the gift store. Angel was just amazed at how beautiful the stadium was and how much she was learning about the sport. But most of all she loved seeing Jana so happy. The game was going to be starting in about thirty minutes. But Jana wanted to get some new Royals gear before the game started. They entered the gift show and Angel just look around in amazement to see how all the walls were covered with Royals merchandise. Jana noticed that they were having a lot of sales. Angel followed Jana over to where the jerseys were. They had so many different colors. Jana explained to Angel earlier that the team colors were royal blue and white. Jana as looking at the jerseys and was thinking about getting one as she hasn't had a new jersey in years. Angel noticed her look at the jerseys and asked her, "Are you going to get one sweetie?" Jana replied,

"I would like too. I have had a new one in years. If I get one you would like one too?"

Angel responded, "Sure! They are pretty sweet looking. And they look comfortable too. And I love the colors."

One of the store associates came over and asked the ladies if they would like some assistance.

"Welcome to the K. Is there anything I anything I can help you with?" smile the store associate.

Angel though man they are sure friendly out here.

Jana told the store associate, "Yes please. My girlfriend and I would like to get a couple of jerseys."

The store associate said "Awesome! We have a great deal going on today. You can get two jersey's for the price of one!" This was music it Jana's ears.

The store associate asked, "What color of jersey would you ladies like and would you like a player jersey or a personalized one? We can personalize it right here on the spot." Jana thought for a minute. Then she had a great idea.

She turns to Angel and asks her, "What is your favorite number?"

Angel responded, "Seven. Why do you ask?"

Jana asked her, "How do you feel about having a personalized jersey?"

Angel responded, "That would be so awesome!"

Both Jana and Angel agreed on each of them a power blue jersey. The store associate took their information and told them that these would be ready just in time for the game. The store associate went into the back with the jerseys. Ten minutes later she came back with the customized jerseys. Both Angel and Jana were overjoyed with the results. The back of Angel's jersey had her name and the number seven. And Jana's jersey had her name with the number eight on it. Jana played softball growing up and in high school and that was always her number. Jana paid for the jerseys and a couple of foam fingers and they both left the gift shop with their jerseys on and made the way to their seats.

Jana led Angel to their seats. And of course it is has been a long time since Jana was a the K to watch a game and she was just speechless as to how beautiful the stadium was after all the renovations were done. And it made Jana realize just how much she loved being there and how much she loves the game of baseball. Angel was blown away by the beauty of the ballpark. And she was just equally blown away with the love that Jana has for this place and for the game. They settled into their seats and the game begins. Jana begins to explain to Angel in the simplest terms the game of baseball. The Royals were playing the Seattle Mariners. The stadium was packed with fans. She could feel the excitement in the air. The Royals were on the verge of winning their division and securing a spot in the playoffs. All they had to do was win the game today. Angel though Jana was doing a great job explaining the game to her. Angel found herself getting really excited and becoming a Royals and baseball fan herself as the game was really good and engaging. A couple of hours have passed since the game started. The game was in the bottom of the ninth. The Royals were ahead 7-4 and only one more out was needed to win the game that would send them into the playoffs. Everyone was on their feet screaming and cheering. The final pitch is delivered and the batter strikes out. Game over. Royals win the game and win the division and are off to the playoffs for the first time in thirty years. The players spilled onto the field to celebrate and the crown was just going completely nuts. Fireworks were going on. The atmosphere was just electric and Angel just loved it. She shared in the excitement with Jana.

Amongst all the craziness Angel turns to Jana and says, "That was just absolutely amazing!" and

Jana responded, "In a few minutes it gets even better. There is a fireworks show!" Angel replied, "How cool! I love fireworks!".

Ten minutes later the stadium lights turn off and the fireworks show began. Jana and Angel sat back down in their seats to watch. Angel took Jana's hand and then snuggled into her watching the fireworks. She looked at Jana and saw how happy she was. She thought about how happy Jana is back to be in her home state, to be able to show the love of her life the things she grew up doing. Like going to a baseball game for starters. The fireworks display lasted about about 20 minutes. It was just as exciting to watch as Jana remembered as she had been to many Royals games with her dad and remember watching fireworks after the game. After the fireworks display finished it was time to head back to the car and find something to eat. Both of them were famished as Jana didn't think about eating before hand as she was too excited to get to the game. Jana and Angel are walking hand in hand as they make their way through the stadium back to the car. The stadium was still filled with fans and the excitement of what just happened. When Jana and Angel reached the parking lot they could all her fans chanting "Let's go Royals!" as they walked to their car.

As they approached the car Angel asked, "Who are the Royals facing in the playoffs?"

Jana responded as unlocking the car, "the Detroit Tigers."

Angel responded, "I didn't know there was a team in Michigan! We will have to go to a game whenever we visit there again."

Jana said, "That would be awesome. Maybe when they play the Royals.".

Both women got in the car. Angel turned the car on and they made their way towards the exit.

Angel said, "I don't know about you but I am famished."

Jana responded, "I am too. Let's go to Back Porch BBQ. The best BBQ in city and I have had it in ages!"

Angel said, "Sounds good to me!" And off they went to dinner.

Fifteen minutes later the arrived at the restaurant. They would have gotten there sooner but the traffic after the game was terrible and of course fans were still celebrating. Angel parks the car and turns it off as she and Jana get out of the car and make their way to the front door of the building. The minute Jana opens the door Angel is hit smack dab in the face with the aroma of the BBQ. Angel said, "Oh my gosh this smells so good!"

Jana replied, "Ah yes. This place hasn't changed a bit. I grew up coming her with my folks.

What are we waiting for? Let's go get some food!"

Soon Jana and Angel were seated. They had a great view. Angel could see the stadium from a distance as the lights still on. The restaurant was packed with excited Royals fans still on a high from the game. A waitress came over to their table and took their order. They both ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and some water to drink. About fifteen minutes later their food came out. The waitress put Angel's plate of food right in front of her. Angel smelled it and said, "This smells amazing."

Jana replied, "Wait until you taste it."

Over the next twenty minutes there was nothing but quiet between the two of them. They were both just so hungry that there was no room for talk. Jana enjoyed watching Angel's reactions as she enjoyed her food. In fact she thought Angel was enjoying it too much as she thought as she wondered if Angel was going to have a food orgasm right then and right there.

The waitress walks over and asked them, "How are you enjoying the meal?"

Angel replies, "It is wonderful!"

Jana looks at the waitress, smiles and says, "The meat was terrific. This is my girlfriend's first time here."

The waitress looks over to Angel and says, "Welcome to Kansas City!" "Is there anything else I can get for you ladies?"

Jana replied, "No I don't think so. We are stuffed. Just the check please."

About two minutes later the waitress comes back the check. "Thank you for coming ladies, be safe and have a great night!"

Jana and Angel both responded with a thank you, Jana paid for the meal and they both headed for the car.

Once they got in the car and buckled in Angel said, "This has been such a great day. Thank you so much Jana."

Jana replied, "You are so welcome my love. I don't know about you, but I am ready to head to our hotel to relax."

Angel responded, "Sounds good to me!"

Once they were all buckled in, Angel started the car and drove off towards the hotel. Angel had no idea about the surprise that awaited her at the hotel.

# Chapter Nine

Jana took over the driving to WoodSprings Suites out toward the Stadium a little ways from dinner, she couldn't believe the love of her life is having so much fun on this adventure and she still can't wait to experience making love to her by the time they are in the room. Biggest surprise is full of roses and balloons since Angel has spoiled her since they got together. Their so in love people have actually gave them dirty looks. Jana wouldn't trade it though as she arrived at the hotel, she got their room number and with a wink by the hotel receptionist. Jana had Angel lug both overnight bags to their room as she tried to hold in her excitement upon reaching the room Jana said,

"Now, my love this has been worth the wait but I promise the biggest surprise is yet to come.

Here we go."

Jana opens the room with a click and the door opens on it's own to Jana's surprise after unlocking it then she turned on the lights her excitement is definitely filled as they brought wine, wine glasses, roses all over the room, and even chocolates on both pillows with a card that read Jana and Angel, Happy Anniversary! Best gift ever from the hotel themselves. Jana turned around looking at Angel as she looked just as amazed her eyes dancing in the candle lit room.

Jana walked over to Angel grabbing her hands to guide her more in the room as she leads Angel to the bed saying,

"What do you think, babe? Is it too much or do we need to go back to my parents?"

Angel looked Jana deep in her eyes after scanning the whole room replying,

"I love it, I love you this is the best surprise ever but I know you wouldn't have gone this far for nothing, I mean hell, we have a Jacuzzi room with flowers everywhere."

Jana kept a straight face responding,

"Now you know I wouldn't lead us to this romantic hotel getaway for nothing without a good view at the Stadium across the road." Angel busted out laughing replying,

"Babe, you are something else but yes, it has a fantastic view from our room. Now, really why are we out on this romantic getaway besides being together for so long and you're dad fixing up our home. You've been in secret since we left this afternoon."

Jana moved closer to Angel as their lips met one another they shared a more intimately moment as their hands explored one another until Jana moved Angel to her stomach lifting her shirt leaving traces of kisses along her back that made Angel moan. Jana removed Angel's pants and panties too then leaving kisses in between her thighs, she spread her open more as she went from behind to go down on Angel, she loved when Angel moaned in passion it gave her more to enjoy, as she kept going, Jana felt Angel ready to explode any moment. Angel let out a scream so loud it echoed all over the hotel it made Jana feel good as she cleaned up then Angel did her share as they kept going into every position until they fell asleep into one another's arms. They didn't need any wine or anything to feel the rush of love that flowed through them that evening. Jana never felt more in love with Angel than she had with anyone else.

That next morning Angel took her chance on making love to Jana more, she couldn't control herself, she loved their intimacy more than anything and didn't want to go home right away they were enjoying everything together. Hearing Jana moan loudly to Angel's sweet name made her savor the moment. Their bodies mended well together, no matter the position they ended up in. Eventually they had to stop because reports from other rooms were coming in heavily waking up more around them and service desk wanted them out for disturbing their customers sleep.

They packed their bags, went for breakfast elsewhere, and hoping their home is done because they didn't get to enjoy the Jacuzzi instead they rather make constant love. Angel never seen Jana smile so much over making love, it made her smile though too.

"Thank you, Jana, for everything. You didn't even have to make love to me. That is the best part of this trip but we got kicked out for being loud though next hotel we stay in we'll have to lower our screams. I can't wait to make love to you again though, I love you so much." Angel said.

Jana turned a bright pinkish red along her cheeks replying,

"You're welcome, my Angel, I just knew I had to do it eventually just took a lot of courage but I do agree with lowering our voices in the hotel room. I have never been kicked from one before. I can't wait to taste you again. I do love you too."

Angel pulled their truck over on the side of the road, she couldn't take her hormones getting her being next to Jana just drove her mind wild, she is so in love with this woman. They ended up making love in the back seat of their truck and would keep going, it didn't matter who reported or anything, they wanted each other, needed each other. It didn't satisfy one another enough, they wanted to enjoy these moments. Jana eventually had enough and made Angel get them back on the road to home because they do have a life to get together still in their new home.

Arriving at their new home it looked amazing of what Gabriel and his buddies did. Small simple house went from barely livable to a miracle of love and hard work. It came at a expense though with all the new furniture and everything that is brand new. Walls were painted from powder blue for living room, a lavender bedroom, a downstairs basement made into a library, powder pink kitchen, downstairs bathroom dark blue, upstairs bathroom dark pink, and master bedroom a very dark purple with delicate flowers to go with. Angel and Jana felt their home fit them perfectly as a couple. They have a fenced yard, a table and two chairs outside on the porch, flowers from front to back, and it just all kept unraveling on every turn.

Jana found her way back upstairs to the bedroom and slept their making love wore her out, so Angel let her go and rest. She still didn't know what to think of there home. It is huge inside and small outside but made up for everything. Angel made her way into the living room finding a nice new wide screen television already set up though as she was about to turn on the television the doorbell rang, it startled her but she went to answer it.

"Angel, you need to leave, Wallace is coming back for Jana as of tomorrow. You two aren't accepted to be together." Gabriel said in a stern voice.

"Excuse me, what? No, I love her, she loves me. You can't do this, I worked so hard to be with her and accept her wishes." Angel replied in frustration.

"I am not going to tell you again, Wallace is coming back for his fiance, and you are to be out of here. I will not stand my daughter being with a lesbo." Gabriel responded with fury.

"Correction sir, I am bisexual, and it is her choice." Angel replied feeling herself getting mad.

"You leave or I will call the cops, you're choice." Gabriel responded fury rising.

"Let me tell her goodbye then I will leave, please." Angel replied through defeat as she wiped her tears.

"No, can do. Grab your things and leave. Don't waste another minute of my time." Gabriel responded with a smirk.

"Fine, I will leave." Angel stepped around Gabriel with the keys still in her hands and took the truck though Gabriel stopped her.

"You will not be taking this truck, I have a cab coming for you. Should be arriving any second now. Have a nice long trip back home Misses Knight." Gabriel said with a smile.

Angel saw the cab coming around the corner, leaving her new home without Jana hurt her. Love of her life clueless as to why she has to leave. Only thing she had is her cell phone and going back to Michigan where it all began without nothing this time.

## Chapter Ten

Jana woke up bright and early the next morning though what surprised her is Angel isn't next to her at all..that is very odd. Angel always cuddled with Jana or at least slept next to her because they love being together. Jana felt rather confused at what was going on, so she got herself out of bed and wandered the whole house calling for Angel their isn't even coffee brewed or breakfast set out. This isn't what she expected at all from Angel to just leave Jana alone like this. Someone or something had to of disturbed Angel, it doesn't add up their isn't even a note. Best solution Jana could think of is head to her parents, she decided to head upstairs and get herself ready when the doorbell rang. Jana knew Angel would just come right in, so she went to the door to see who it was.

"Jana, open it up it is your mother it is urgent." Mary said through the door.

Jana opened the door in a hurry as she flew the door open she saw her mom crying. Jana gathered her mom in her arms replying,

"Mom, where is Angel?"

Mary wiped her tears as Jana let her go, Mary responded,

"Your father sent Angel back home and bring Wallace back because he thinks you need a man in your life instead of a woman. A woman that actually loves you and takes care of you. I can't believe he sent a nice woman off."

Jana let out a scream with tears rushing as her anger overwhelmed and sat in front of the door step sobbing with her mother this isn't what Jana needed from anyone to send off someone she loves.

"Honey, you need to go after her before Wallace arrives in a few hours and that is no joke your father called him up after you two got in, making sure you were asleep before sending her off. You need Angel, baby girl."

Jana dried her tears then looked at they're truck the one that they were given too, she needed to get Angel and that is the best way. Petal to the metal is a understatement, she will drive to Michigan and get her love back though first she needs to deal with her father. Jana let her mom inside as she hurried upstairs to get dressed for the long trip she has to go back on to get her woman. She rushed back downstairs as she looked at her mom.

"I am going to speak with dad, you can stay right here if you wish. There isn't much here but I am sure you can manage if you have too grab a overnight bag and spend time here away from dad because I don't blame you for what he did on his own." Jana said.

"I will have to face him sweetheart but I will stay right here and pack you up for your trip also Angel some clean clothes and such. You go give your dad hell for what he did." Mary replied.

Jana kissed her mom on the temple as she left the house in a fury to her parents house. Barging in she found her dad watching television with a smirk on his face.

"Good morning, baby girl. I hope you slept well in your new home." Gabriel said.

"Not a good morning, I can't believe you sent the woman I love back to her home without me. Dad, this is wrong to do me there's a reason why I didn't Wallace in my life and here is coming to expecting me too love him when I don't. I love Angel Nicole Knight! You hear me, I love her." Jana replied in anger.

"Jana Bella, don't speak to me that way. Wallace is to be your fiance again and I will not tolerate you marrying a woman. I want grandkids. You will do as I ask and marry Wallace or you can go back to Michigan with that awful woman. You have a choice, it is either my wishes or that trash." Gabriel responded in his own fury.

"You can't force me to do this. I will come back with Angel and we will live happily with or without you. Mom supports me and Angel being together, why can't you?" Jana replied in sadness.

"I will never support that lifestyle, I would be sorely disapproved if my only daughter decides this is her way out of kids." Gabriel responded still pissed off.

"Dad, me and Angel can still have kids they'll just be adopted or another man's sperm but making me marry someone who doesn't even love me is wrong. I am going after Angel and before this is all said and done, I am marrying her in the near future whether you approve or not." Jana replied letting her fume wear down then she headed out the door without another word making sure to slam it so he knows that he didn't win.

Jana went back to her house explaining everything that went down then here comes Wallace with his ragged look and a cheeky smile saying,

"So, you ready to settle down, babe?"

Jana kicked him where it counts then tossed him out of the house replying,

"The only one that has my heart is Angel's go back to your hell hole of a life. I am done with people coming between me and her."

Jana rushed out to the truck then ran back giving her mom hugs and kisses then went back to the truck heading toward Michigan, she will not let their love slip away that easily after just moving to Kansas. Jana is getting Angel back this time because she knows no one else is good enough for her. She will be her everything and their is nothing going to change that. Jana drove for hours on end in the mid-afternoon and she fought to stay awake, she needed Angel but also wanted sleep. Jana pulled off for the night to a small hotel off the highway so she could rest. Soon as she got her room paid for and she went to bed without a concern for anyone else. That whole night she dreamed of Angel, she felt her better half is missing completely. Jana got back on the highway making the rest of the way there with hopes Angel is just with Shauna and their is no issue between them because she couldn't lose Angel to what her dad did.

## Chapter Eleven

Angel arrived in Michigan back in her hometown Roseland, she felt depression kicking in fiercely. She wanted to desperately to contact Jana but knew her father would probably be watching her every move. She couldn't see her life without Jana, and didn't need or want any other woman. Angel walked her way to Midnight Cafe to go see Shauna since she knew the struggle that Angel would suffer without her love. Her heart felt so torn the long walk to her old store but she would manage. Soon as she walked into the store everyone in the store gave a surprised expression, Shauna ran up to her looking behind her and around her for Jana but surprised again that Jana wasn't with her.

"Where is Jana? Why are you here alone? What is going on?" Shauna asked with curiosity.

"I know it is your office now but can we go please speak there?" Angel asked in return.

"Sure, sure. Let's go. Excuse me folks, personal business to attend. Lucia, babe, please take care of our customers." Shauna said rushing off to her office with Angel.

Shauna shut her office door silently as she looked at Angel closely.

"Jana's father ran me off because he thinks his daughter should be with a man like Wallace to wed her off instead of me." Angel said through tears.

"That is so awful, I can vouch that Jana will come back because she's on her way from what she told me several hours ago that's why I was shocked to find you here?" Shauna explained with a smile.

"My love is coming for me! She ditched her father's ignorance for me. This is the best news. I can't wait to be in her arms again." Angel replied wiping her tears with a smile.

Shauna and Angel hugged tightly for the excitement then Angel looked at Shauna saying,

"Are you dating Lucia Yule from Sampson?"

Shauna nodded enthusiastically replying,

"Yes, I am she is so full of life and love that I adore, she reminds me of Jana in a lot of ways.

Ever since I got over Danielle Bradley from High School, Lucia has changed everything for me and best part is we share our dorm room that we got together in. She is so lovely." Angel laughed responding,

"As long as she makes you happy that is all that matters to me, she is a beautiful redhead from what I can tell."

Shauna pulled Angel to the couch replying,

"She has beautiful red hair that flows in the wind, green eyes that make you see emerald, and olive skin that is soft to touch. She's a gorgeous woman."

Angel patted Shauna on the shoulder responding,

"That she is. We have made love more than enough times though we ended up stopping because of the shop but we have came in here more than once for some fun."

Angel shook her head with a laugh replying,

"Me and Jana just had our romantic time away before Gabriel decided I wasn't good enough for Jana, so this is our first big slope in two years, and I do miss her already."

Shauna nodded understanding responding,

"I hate to leave but I have to get back to work. Lucia can't do this all on her own and we have rush hour in about two hours."

Angel and Shauna hugged then Shauna left leaving Angel in the office wondering if now would be a good time to text Jana to see how much longer it would be before she arrived. For her own sake though she waited because patients is the key to a successful love like theirs, granted they haven't talked because of the situation that is broken down by Jana's father though she should of went with her gut and told Jana what her father wanted out of her, she knew deep down that Jana would have given him an earful anyways. Angel got up from the couch pacing back and forth then the door clicked surprising her with a startle to who could be coming in then her face lit up seeing her love standing in the doorway.

"Jana!" Angel said excitedly.

"Angel!" Jana replied with excitement too.

They both ran into each other's arms and kissed for what felt like eternity. They didn't want to let go of each other but Jana knew she had to explain to Angel everything that went down. Jana stepped back from Angel after their shared hugs and kisses guiding Angel to the couch once again.

"Angel, I know what my dad did and I am sorry he came between us. He didn't deserve to make my decision on you leaving that is our home back in Kansas. We didn't get together for nothing, I am well aware of that though my dad disapproves doesn't mean I want to accept his choices. Angel, you are everything to me, and don't leave like that again." Jana said.

"I won't leave again, and I can't believe your dad did that to us. We had such a good time especially making love for the first time, you came around to being around me within the past year it has been amazing." Angel replied.

"Then let's get back home to Kansas with my mom at least because I know she has probably been staying there away from dad." Jana responded with sorrow.

"They're fixing to separate because of us, isn't it?" Angel asked as she held Jana's hand.

"I have no idea, it just didn't end well yesterday morning." Jana replied.

Angel decided not to discuss that any more because she didn't want to ruin their reunitement from being away from each other. Next thing they both knew there was a knock on the door.

"I hope you two are dressed, we would like to come in." Shauna said through giggles.

Jana turned bright red as Angel laughed out loud replying, "We aren't doing anything, Shauna, come in."

Shauna came in with Lucia that her smile shines brightly as they held hands, Shauna walked up to the couch with a very shy Lucia behind her.

"Angel, Jana, this is my girlfriend Lucia Yule from Sampson. I felt that you both would be comfortable to meet her before going on the road back to Kansas." Shauna said.

Angel and Jana looked at the shy redhead with a smile, the girl had freckles across her nose and cheeks, green emerald eyes that made her stand out.

"We are pleased to meet you, Lucia." Angel replied.

"You are a very pretty girl, Lucia." Jana also replied.

"N..n..nice to meet...y..you..b..both too." Lucia said so nervously.

Angel and Jana got up from the couch letting the other two sit as they knew time is slim and still had to be back on the road before they needed to get work of their own to afford their new place. Angel and Jana hugged both girls then left leaving them two alone before they could make it out of the store they heard moaning and laughed, that didn't take long. Jana stopped Angel at the truck.

"We could go have fun with them two, spice up some fun for them, I mean, heck Shauna and Lucia are both beautiful girls. Lucia looks delightful to enjoy." Jana said with a smirk.

"Jana, what has gotten into you? I don't want neither of them that way. They are happy without us interrupting their sex life." Angel replied sternly.

"I thought a foursome would be fun before we leave. It isn't like we have explored out of just ourselves. Just this once to have fun together with them, I know Lucia is shy but she could easily warm up to us." Jana explained.

"Babe, I love you but no, sorry I can't and won't. Shauna is like a daughter to us and Lucia will be that too." Angel replied.

"Angel, you have become sour since my dad scared you off, I wanted to spark some fun and turn it down because of the way you see Shauna. Angel, I thought you were fun to be around but I guess not, here is your ring back. I am going to have fun with them two, I will see you later." Jana responded as she walked away.

Angel ran to Jana grabbing her by the wrist than turning her around replying,

"Jana, don't walk away from me, please. I know you want this with them two but really? We need each other, make love to one another again, get this wedge out of our system that you're father caused. Jana, sweetheart, don't do this with them, let them be."

Jana snatched her wrist back from Angel responding,

"You are so insistent that it'd just be us, what happened to us opening our hearts for more to love? Come on think of having two college girls in Kansas with us? We could always use more hands around our new home?"

Angel wanted to so badly not to give in but Jana just wouldn't let that happen on having fun with these two college kids, granted, Shauna is amazing as it is but going back into that store to have a foursome seems so wrong. Angel tries again to reason with Jana.

"Babe, please, let's go for a walk technically we have no rush to go home and you need to calm down, I know you are wanting to do this because your dad made you mad but honestly, it would be a mistake." Angel said.

"A mistake, do you know how much that man made me mad about sending you out here. All because he doesn't like me with a woman. I am not going anywhere until we do this with them two in there." Jana replied stubbornly.

Angel shook her head then walked toward the fountain where they met because she couldn't stand seeing Jana so hurt and wanting to rebel on her for just the sake of doing it. It isn't Jana and going back to Kansas even seems like a bad idea. They need each other though not in this ordeal it is so disturbing Jana wants to go forth with something that doesn't make it right.

## Chapter Twelve

Jana saw Angel walking away from her but she had to make a choice follow her girlfriend or go inside that store and have her threesome to get revenge on her dad. Would she risk losing Angel over this? Could she consider losing the one who taught her to love? Jana kept looking back and forth unsure what to do. She hung her head to go find Angel because she is worth more than sleeping with two girls that are happy as it is. Jana trudged along the winding road to the only place she could imagine where Angel would be which is the fountain they met at over a year ago and she knows Angel loves that fountain.

Jana found Angel finally by their favorite place and seeing her woman gaze at the fountain in sorrow hurt Jana, she had no right to think like that let alone trying to force Angel into something, that isn't what their relationship is based on. They have so much to go for and now that she did take off her promise ring, she does realize that she needs Angel, Angel is her other half whether her dad approves or not. Jana walked over to Angel with her head hung because she knew that this is going to be her part to apologize, she still didn't understand how Angel could love her so much after everything. Approaching Angel, Jana took a deep breath in and out then sat beside her girlfriend.

"Angel, I am truly sorry for the way I acted back there, you didn't deserve that from me. I hope you will forgive me and we can make our way home by Wednesday but I do want us to get to know Lucia she is a bright young girl. No, we aren't going to sleep with them before you speak, my love, I do realize you are all I need whether my dad approves or not. I am not going to act like a teenager because they are. Once again, I am sorry." Jana said holding herself back from touching Angel.

Angel turned to look at Jana, shaking her head, twirling the ring in her pocket that Jana gave back to her. She wants to believe Jana is going to be okay, Jana will still love just her but Angel can't see past what went down back there, she wants to make it work for the better and not worse. It took her a lot of time to just walk away to convince Jana that wouldn't be a smart move. Angel's thoughts consuming her as she just stares at Jana unable to say anything the woman she has given her whole heart too and more is apologizing but can feel the sting inside her heart, Angel more than anything knows what is right to stay away from one another but it doesn't solve the situation that Jana wanted to rebel because of her dad, her dad that ran her off to begin with.

"Jana, I am not sure if I want to accept your apology because of the fact you were so amped up about having a foursome with two girls and rebel against your dad because he couldn't accept you for loving me. I have no idea what to think of this situation, you aren't in your right mind, Jana, woman, I love you but please don't do this to us again." Angel said through tears.

"Angel, please accept it, I didn't mean to act that way at all. I love you too, my love. Please don't let us fall apart right now. I need you." Jana explained through her own tears wanting to touch Angel so badly.

"I will accept forgiveness but I can't forget the way you acted back there. I will not lose you to something so stupid." Angel replied through gritted teeth and tears. "You mean everything to me and by everything this whole place where we met."

"Angel, I will do anything to make this right again but I would like to take a walk around the park with you." Jana responded wiping her tears away.

Angel got up from the fountain walking towards Jana who stood a couple feet away. Angel grabbed Jana's hand gently slipping the promise ring back on and gave Jana small light kisses as they walked hand in hand around the park finally feeling whole again with one another. They decided after walking around that it would be best to get a hotel room for two nights then head back home because they still need to work on their bonding with one another and be ready to head back to Kansas soon enough.

*

After two days in Michigan they headed home especially after they enjoyed time with Shauna and Lucia seeing how much they are ready to settle down after college. Jana and Angel's relationship rekindled for better, they still won't be getting married any time soon let alone engaged because they need to now get jobs and figure out home life. The long ride home became so rough because their still so exhausted but enjoyed patching things up for good.

Jana though on the other hand is still unsure if she is officially ready to go home because of her dad not liking her loving a woman. She didn't want her desire to change though he didn't approve.

"I know you aren't thrilled to face your dad but we will get past this and at least your mom loves us together." Angel said with a smile.

"I am so scared to face him again, I never met a man so ignorant in my life." Jana replied with an half smile.

"No worries, he probably isn't around anymore." Angel responded.

Jana looked out the window knowing her dad probably did stick around to keep Wallace for her because that is how he is as a stubborn man who wants to keep his daughter the way reality is just a man and a woman together. Jana got tired of living with just an acception of a Christian life, the bible says to do this and to do that. Is that really accepted when everyone can be equal? Her dad can't change reality and she is hoping that her mom will divorce him for the better.

## Chapter Thirteen

Arriving back in Kansas felt like a breath of fresh air because it felt like home again to be back where it would have just started if Jana's dad wouldn't have gotten involved to begin with. They were fine as a couple until he intervened that caused her to go all the way to Michigan to get her girlfriend back and revenge still taste good on her lips. Jana wanted to make sure he paid for everything he caused but first and foremost she needed to check on her mom last she checked she was still at their house. Approaching their home turning the truck into the driveway as Angel laughed seeing Wallace still in the doorway unconscious after two days, she assumed Mary had taken a few kickings to him too. Angel watch Jana go scan the house for her mom then ran two doors down as Angel followed behind not sure of knowing what is going on.

Angel saw Jana open her parents home as she waved Angel forward, she walked slowly to the door, peeking in to find Mary by herself.

"Where is dad?" Jana asked.

"He is gone for good, our marriage has been on the rocks long before you decided to be with Angel just when you wanted her over Wallace that is what tipped it over the edge. You don't need him baby girl." Mary replied.

"Mom, I am so sorry. What are you going to do about this house? You can't be left alone you're health isn't that great and hasn't been in years." Jana responded worrying.

"My little girl never change who you are. I can handle everything still it is okay. I am taking my medication and everything that is required, your dad never helped anyways. We only stayed together for your sake." Mary explained in a shaking voice.

"We can place you in a nursing home. You won't be by yourself." Angel suggested.

"No, I will not have it, I can handle everything as it is. You two need to go live your life without me being in the way. I am fine on my own and have been for many years." Mary replied.

Angel grabbed Jana's hand as they left the house silently heading back to their home hand in hand without having Jana freak out about their divorce that has been in the works for years, she knows Jana loves them both but her father honestly isn't worth all this pain. Reaching their house Jana turned Angel around holding both her hands.

"Don't ever leave me, please, not like my dad did." Jana said.

"Babe, I am not going anywhere, I promise." Angel replied then kissed Jana's forehead.

They walked inside their home then making love in their living room until they couldn't take it anymore. They knew that they needed each other more than anything and this is their happiness. After making love they headed into the kitchen to make dinner of tilapia, corn, and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Then as they were about to set the table their doorbell rang out of nowhere, Jana ran to the door to answer it.

"Jana, is Angel here?" A woman said out of breath.

"Don't tell me you are here to get between us?" Jana replied.

"What? No, it involves Angel's grandma's home it is urgent." The woman responded.

Angel came up behind Jana saying, "Hey Ashton, what are you talking about my grandma's home? I have foreclosed it to the bank years ago."

"That is what I have come to discuss with you, can I come in?" Ashton replied.

"Yes, yes come in. We were about to have dinner, would you like some?" Angel asked.

"No, thank you. I need to go over this and get back to Michigan for another case. Anyways, so Angel when did you foreclose on the house?" Ashton asked.

"In 2012 after she passed." Angel replied.

"According to this you were married to Scarlett Myra Thomas at the time, is that true?" Ashton responded.

"What? No, she was my girlfriend in High School but we broke up." Angel replied raising an eyebrow. "Where are you getting at Ashton?"

"I hate to say this Angel, your wife Scarlett kept the house for you both back in 2013 without anything paid on. Are you sure you filed for foreclosure in 2012?" Ashton responded sternly. "Yes, yes, yes, and Scarlett isn't my wife, never was, never have been. I can't believe she is framing me, I got rid of her years ago." Angel replied in frustration.

"Well then Misses. Knight looks like you will be in a battle with Misses. Thomas to get this straightened out because our records show you are married." Ashton responded as she left in a hurry out the front door.

Angel got up from the couch and began pacing back and forth across the room over and over as Jana grabbed Angel to halt her.

"Angel, it will be okay. We will get this sorted out, relax." Jana said.

"I can't be married to that witch, I never signed anything. She must of forged my signature when I went to get the U-Haul truck because she was there the same time." Angel replied gritting her teeth.

"Angel, she must of done something to make this scene explains why everyone gave us weird looks in the restaurants and the hotel staff because you signed as Angel Knight instead of Thomas though I wouldn't sign her last name either but this will get cleared up." Jana responded calmly.

Angel released herself from Jana than sat back down on the couch. Jana knew their dinner is cold but that can be reheated they needed each other. They will have to do something to prevent Scarlett from coming between them now. Jana held onto Angel tightly knowing this will change a diamanic of their relationship just a bit because now Angel will have to clearly file for divorce while foreclosing on her grandmother's house out in Michigan where she grew up after they just left from there. This all needs to go away.

## Chapter Fourteen

Angel called around for a job, so did Jana because they didn't have time to worry about a so called "marriage" and foreclosure on her grandmother's house that should have been taking care of but Angel knew she would have to file for divorce from where she is with hopes Scarlett abides by it because she would love to marry Jana some day. Angel took deep breaths every hour as she tried to find ways to solve everything in one day but that seemed impossible because no lawyer wanted to give Angel the benefit that she married someone without knowing and it went round and round all day.

After several passing hours Angel gave up until her cell phone rang it read a number from Texas which seemed quite odd that someone would be calling her from Texas so nervously she picked up.

"Hello, who is this?" Angel said into the phone.

"Angel it is Scarlett, chick I can't believe this happened to you and I am very sorry. If you have been trying to find a lawyer for our so called "marriage" don't because they put the wrong name on the paperwork. I am sorry someone, somehow screwed it up because when I have received everything. See, thing is me and Annabel Hudson just got married. Well when we went to file paperwork over your grandma's house they put it in my name claiming I owned it in which I never have owned any property. So, yeah, when me and her marriage certificates came back someone put you instead and we have tried to legally fix everything including with your grandma's house. Who came by the house to tell you about our supposed "marriage"?" Scarlett explained as fast as she could losing her breath between sentences.

"Scarlett, first off congratulations on your marriage to Annabel. Second, it was Ashton, she said that we got married back in 2012 but we only dated from the time we got out of school then that is when you started dating Annabel like years after that." Angel explained to her best ability.

"Angel, Ashton is a total bitch lets put that out there. I can guarantee you that bitch messed up everything and made it seem like we were married instead of who we are actually with, I am going to check online files and get this sorted out. I will see you at the reunion in two years and remember don't get hitched right away, laugh out loud, just kidding. Goodbye Angel." Scarlett hung up before Angel could speak anymore.

Angel shook her head then explained everything to Jana that it was just a mess up and Scarlett is fixing it all. By the next several days everything did clear up and they were back to working on a normal schedule again, nothing got between them. They still hadn't figured out what else to do with their life beside work and keep the house up plus make sure their spark didn't fade. They had date nights every weekend when they weren't exhausted. Jana always wondered what could make their relationship more delightful though they have been promised to one another for almost three years by summer time but she needed more with Angel.

Jana came home from work one evening finding Angel sound asleep on the couch they are working too much and need time together. Jana knew that it is the weekend time to go to dinner, go roam around stores to get what is needed, come home watch television, and head to bed. It is a normal routine that seems to be an boring pattern. They haven't even discussed a future of marriage because they don't have time. Jana shut off the television took Angel's glass to the kitchen and then just sat at the dining room table trying to figure out what to do with herself while Angel rests.

After a while Jana went and got a shower to rinse off the filth of work from working hard in the bakery downtown. Jana just felt so tired because she couldn't figure out after almost three years together they weren't engaged or even close to marriage, she felt like they were being torn apart because of trying to save money to rebuild their life back to normal from Michigan. She knew their relationship needed to be more than what it is, she remembered the struggle she had back in Michigan with accepting the fact that exploring a woman isn't a bad thing, and she enjoyed every minute with Angel. Jana still didn't know her sexuality at this point because she hadn't been around a man in years it felt like and Angel has shown her every part of loving a woman possible but she couldn't expect to know what she would represent herself as if someone asked.

Jana got herself washed up, dressed, left a note for Angel, and headed out the door. She desperately needed time to think things through especially with the seriousness of their relationship. It has eaten at her that she isn't married to Angel by now. Though she had no idea if Angel even thought about marrying her, she should talk to Angel about her fighting emotions but she knew that Angel would be too busy wrapped up in making the paper go by faster because of deadlines. It wasn't their fault for being so busy it is just how the world spins but they do need more than work and more involvement with one another. Jana needed a reason for them to get away for just a whole two weeks away from work and home life because it is just to plain for them now, let alone living together without any sexual interactions is bothering her too when they first got together they couldn't stand to keep their hands away but she may just leave for a while until she felt it is time to revive what they had. A good gap apart is a bad thing but it also makes someone else realize how much they mean to them.

Jana headed back to the house since she decided it is best to leave Angel alone until it is time to rebuild again because if they eventually plan to marry this has to work for the better especially when they are apart. As she arrived in the driveway, she found a note on the door, she rushed over to it peeling it off the door as it read:

Jana,

I have packed up and left to go back to Michigan. This is for the better our relationship isn't what it used to be. We don't deserve one another especially living like this just working day in and day out. I will always love you but it is time to find ourselves someone else to love. If you do not find happiness, I do apologize just know our friendship still means everything. I am going back to work with Shauna since she already knows our situation. Goodbye Jana!

Love always,

Angel Nicole Knight

Jana stood there staring at the letter with her heart starting to break, she knew Angel loved her but she knew it is best to be apart for the sake of their friendship though they still loved each other it wasn't enough to hold a bond. Jana folded the letter up placing it inside her jacket as she unlocked her door seeing that Angel still left everything in their home. She rushed upstairs to find Angel emptied her dresser drawer and took her bathroom items, so she knew Angel would return eventually. They just needed a breather that is all they needed, Angel will come home they can't be without each other. Hell, she'll never take the promise ring off it is their symbol of love.

Jana grabbed her bag of things then headed to her mom's house. She didn't want to be trapped in memories of their love and missing Angel's surroundings. She needed to do this for their sake if and when they are ready their love will bond once more with marriage to come at the doorstep. So, she left their truck in the driveway in case she needed it to go over and use it then walked over two doors down to her mom's.

## Chapter Fifteen

Jana walked into her mom's house finding her mother in the kitchen looking through bills at the table.

"Hey mom, what bill are you looking for?" Jana said.

"Jana, baby girl, I didn't hear you come in. Where is Angel?" Mary replied looking for Angel.

"Angel is back in Michigan. We are separated for the time being. So, what bill are you looking for?" Jana responded calmly.

"I will not have my baby girl unhappy there has to be a reason behind your separation after two years. You were so happy and so was she, this doesn't make sense." Mary replied.

"Mom, everything is fine. She will come back when she is ready, I was about to have us separate because she hadn't proposed or even brought up marriage. We were falling apart due to work and home life." Jana responded thoughtfully.

"Jana, I don't care how hard either of you work this is ridiculous. You're home life wasn't that difficult either, so what is the real reason both of you gave up? No sex, not enough time together, no meaning commitment...there has to be something for this to happen and you better not lie to me, Jana Bella." Mary replied in a frustrated tone.

"Mom, it is nothing to that extent. We just need time apart, all couples do it." Jana responded with her head down.

"Really? I am sure she left you a tear in your heart with a letter because you're father was good at running from his problems and seems you two are well at it too. You two have been back and forth for so long it is unreal. I will not believe what you tell me but I know one thing I wouldn't recommend finding someone else if she does than that is her mistake. You two belong together no matter how bad it is." Mary explained as she found the bill and placed it on the side to put away all the other bills.

"Point taken mom. I am going upstairs and settle in, I need time to think and get back to work tomorrow before my boss has a fit because I took time off over this mishap me and Angel are having." Jana responded grabbing her bag and lugging it up the stairs.

Getting all the way up to her bedroom where her and Angel stayed at for one evening before heading off to Kansas City for a romantic getaway, the room was still left the same as they left it. Jana decided it would be best to sleep in the other room down at the end of the hall, she couldn't face with memories of Angel it just bothers her too much and she needed space to stop these emotions from eating at her. Jana did remember Angel promising her to never leave her side because of what her father did but she doesn't think that is within reason why they went separate ways, she knew that and believed Angel wouldn't intentionally leave her to this resort of loneliness. Jana reached the bedroom as she heard the house phone ring and she rushed to it then heard her mom pick up at the same time, her mom answered.

"Hello." Mary said.

"Mary, is Jana available? I need to speak with her." Angel said on the other end.

"Of course, she is right upstairs let me go get her." Mary said as Jana urgently responded.

"Mom, I am on the phone, thank you, you can hang up now."

"Alright sweetheart, dinner will be ready at five so be sure to hurry up, and Angel we miss you please come back soon." Then Mary clicked off the phone as Jana sighed a relief.

"Jana, I know we haven't been apart very long but hear me out. We needed this for us, I know I said in the letter that we could see other people though in my heart I couldn't, we will be together again before you know it. I didn't leave you like your dad did just we both needed time apart to figure out if we are ready for marriage later on down the line. I know you are, I have known that for over a year but I am doing this the honest way. So, please wait for me to come home. I love you." Angel said through the phone making Jana's heart race with a tear running down her cheek.

"Angel, I was going to leave to Kansas City but couldn't bear going out there and I had to stay in another room of my parents because of my thoughts of you. I am already missing you this is just to difficult we were already together for almost three years. I wanted to leave but in my heart I wanted to be married to you now not this far apart. Angel, how are we going to get through to this? We are in separate states and dating isn't exactly exceptional at this point." Jana replied biting her bottom lip.

"Jana, please just tell me you love me and we will end this call." Angel responded through the other end of the line.

"I don't want to end this call, Angel, I beg of you please come home." Jana begged for her sake of sanity she didn't want to do this.

"I love you Jana, talk to you in a few months. See you later." Angel clicked off on Jana and Jana broke down in tears with speaking I love you too softly.

Jana cried her eyes out until she ended up falling asleep unfortunately missing dinner with her mom because she felt so worn out and useless. The love of her life is so far away it hurts.

*

The next morning Jana couldn't handle it anymore she ended up calling off work because she needed time to sulk in her feelings though the bakery seemed to handle itself most days and she didn't mind that at least she wasn't her boss handling it all. Jana got out of bed, got some clean clothes for the day, and headed into the shower though she rather have stayed in bed, she highly doubted her mom would let her since they would bond over Angel with hopes of them getting back together even though Angel already said it isn't happening at this moment.

Jana got cleaned up then bounded down the stairs to find her mom with a smile on her face with warm coffee in her hand at the kitchen table.

"I hope Angel comes back today, you two are in need of one another." Mary said.

"Mom, she isn't coming back and she is going to call again in a few months." Jana replied wiping a tear away.

"Get in that truck and get your woman, Jana, this is ridiculous you two love each other so much." Mary responded through gritted teeth.

"No, I am not chasing after her this time. We will get through this separation plus it is worth being alone for a while to gather our thoughts on if we are ready to marry in the future." Jana replied.

"Then I am going to find her and bring her back because I am not having my grown ass daughter staying in my home. Where in Michigan is she?" Mary responded slamming her coffee cup against the table.

"I believe she is still in Rose County with Shauna at Midnight Cafe but mom seriously you are going to make this worse than it needs to be. Me and her can handle this separation." Jana explained calmly as possibly.

Mary got upstairs to her bedroom doing whatever she is planning then came back down changed and with a bag full of things then shook her head with disappointment at Jana. Jana saw Mary slam her front door then revved the car up and leaving Jana alone. Jana knew this is going to be bad that her mom is going to drive a day and a half to get to Angel to bring her back to Kansas.

### Chapter Sixteen

Angel felt relieved to be away from Kansas for the time being it is best for her and Jana before marriage comes into play being in Michigan felt like a whole new world of view but her favorite place was being around Shauna though she knew that she better call Jana before heading to check in on Shauna and Lucia. After speaking with Jana she felt regret knowing that Jana would be in tears this evening though she sensed Jana wanted this as well to figure out where they belong as a couple. It wasn't like Angel would be in love with anyone else it's just their work life and barely any time together caused their relationship to fall apart. She figures this separation would link them back together for marriage to come in the future.

Walking to the cafe she found herself with a bounce in her step though she should be dragging since she is without Jana again but she couldn't keep thinking about Jana knowing they had to do this, they can do this, and it will be better. Reaching the cafe she opened the door to once again everyone looking at her, you'd think they would be used to seeing her pop in by now.

"Angel, what are you doing here this time? You should be with Jana and not keep coming back." Shauna said shaking her head.

"We are separated for the time being, work life caused us to separate until we are for sure on getting married." Angel explained.

Shauna turned Angel around out the store door then replied,

"Enough of this! You two need each other and this is the third trip in two years. I am not going to take it that you can't stand being away from your old store, no, you are running from commitment. Go back to Kansas and don't come back until you two are wed, I am done rescuing your relationship. Lucia has already told me if either one of you keep coming back then you two will cause this town to be torn apart. Enough!"

Angel shook her head then headed back into the cafe to order a pumpkin spice coffee and then headed to the fountain to reminisce everything, she wasn't going home until she knew it was time too.

*

Two years later, Angel finally decided to head back to Kansas she missed Jana enough even though they talked every day because Angel couldn't stay to far from Jana and she hopes this will make Jana endure their love more than what it was before. Two years together and two years apart can make a difference for anyone in love. Angel is hoping that her love didn't settle down with anyone else. Angel geared herself up to being home with Jana with high hopes for everything to go correctly because while they were separated she bought an engagement ring with a beautiful golden retriever puppy as an addition to this new light.

Arriving back in Kansas, Angel found that somethings have changed around but not much and that their some new restaurants to check out in due time but she needed to get Jana closer to her more than ever. Jana doesn't even know that she is arriving home, so this is going to be a bigger surprise. Finally making her way into the driveway, she got out of the car with the puppy in a box, and knocked on the door. She heard Jana cursing over something then fumbles with the doorway, opening her eyes wide.

"Angel! Angel, you are home." Jana said excitedly.

"I am home, baby." Angel replies smiling.

"Two years apart, I love you more than I have ever realized this distance made such a gap but an amazing experience. This prepared me for your next move as an Author, am I correct?" Jana responded with unable to contain herself.

"My love, that is correct, and more so than anything, I have this puppy for you, she isn't named but she is a wonderful little girl." Angel handed over the puppy to Jana.

Jana snuggled the puppy then found a heart shaped box that took her by surprised around the pups collar, she opened it to find an engagement ring that moment Angel got down on one knee holding Jana's hand.

"Jana, I know I just got home but this is better than never. I love you, will you marry me?" Angel asked in anticipation.

"Yes, yes, yes, YES!!" Jana replied kissing Angel with the puppy squeezed between them.

Jana rushed both Angel and the puppy inside as she got the puppy some water and food than rushed back to Angel kissing her more than ever as they took it upstairs making love for the first time in ages it felt like to them both. They ended up cleaning up in a nice fresh hot shower then got dressed in some nice cleaned outfits that suit for the evening at a fancy restaurant since Angel made reservations before coming back to Kansas.

At the restaurant they ordered their favorites and enjoyed a glass of wine to celebrate their engagement it had made them both so happy to be able to settle down once and for all. Agreement is to hold off on marriage until at least another three years just to be sure they can handle Angel's long tours around the United States to meet her fellow readers.

"This is a pleasant way to end our evening, I must say. You have really outdone yourself my wonderful fiance. We are officially engaged, you're book will be on store shelves soon, and we get to decide a wedding date in a few years." Jana said looking at her ring over and over.

"I can't believe you waited around for me including answering my calls day in and day out. My book kept my mind occupied while you went to work but I never imagined you would wait for me out of all the men and women around here." Angel replied.

"I couldn't imagine myself loving anyone else, and you are the only woman for me. I did tell my mom that I am lesbian even though you are bisexual though attracted to women more than men, she did understand and wishes us the best. So, all in all, mom has finally understood why we separated and for the better." Jana explained.

"After your mom came to Michigan to force me back, I wasn't ready to budge no matter what anyone else said, my book began here but expanded to Michigan. I needed the scenery to take in and such to get my mind wrapped around my character's, plots, and so forth. I didn't want to leave us like that but I had no choice." Angel replied biting her lip.

"It's alright, love, our love has expanded so much more now that I have realized why you left and the book will bring an extended over look of what is to come with book two of whatever it is you are set to release next year or year after depending on your tour dates. I am just happy to have you home, and hope your Publishers aren't too tough on you." Jana explained with a grin.

"You are the whole reason for my book to be brought out. It means everything to me to have my own book set out for the world to see and with you by my side to support my career. I love you for that Jana." Angel responded.

"I love you too, Angel." Jana replied.

It went silent between them as their food finally got served to them and they are savoring the food. After finishing eating and paying the bill, Angel took Jana for a ride down toward a local park to star gaze on a blanket as they cuddled each other, they didn't want to leave one another's arms that evening. Angel lifted Jana's head as their lips collided and they enjoyed making out right underneath the stars, it gave them so much pleasure to be close to one another after what felt like forever being so far apart and a whole night of one another is their world together to be bonded again.

## Chapter Seventeen

Early that next morning Jana headed off to work while Angel got prepared to leave again, she had to head to Indiana for some book marketing by another Author to teach her the ropes of the Industry. Jana still couldn't believe that she got engaged but unfortunately their wedding had to be held off due to funds and Angel's book tour for the next several years. Work came and gone so fast that Jana couldn't wait to get home to see her new puppy Briar, she couldn't help name it unique and no one has ever used that name. Jana walked into their house with a greeting of both Angel and Briar which surprised her since Angel was supposed to have left hours ago for Indiana.

"Good evening babe, how was work?" Angel said.

"Good, aren't you supposed to be on your way to Indiana to meet with another Author for Marketing purposes?" Jana replied raising an eyebrow.

"About that, it got cancelled due to severe weather. So, I am stuck at home until sometime next week. Have you come up with a name for this baby? I hate just calling her puppy." Angel responded with a smile.

"Sorry about that love, and her name is Briar, it is unique." Jana responded smiling herself.

"It's fine, darling. I love her new name, now I can go get her a collar, leash, name tag, toys, and everything else." Angel replied handing Briar to Jana as she went and got the keys to head out the door with kissing Jana on the way out.

Jana shook her head putting Briar down as she said,

"Momma Angel is crazy when it comes to making sure everything is set."

Briar barked a few times than scampered off to go play with something as Jana headed down to the basement to find a good book to read in the meantime whenever Angel does get back. Jana found a book on marriage that was stored in the far back of the basement assuming Angel wanted it hidden because of her family flaws. Jana sat down on the couch in the basement beginning to read the book being consumed with so much information that she knew somethings but learned new things in the process of what could make their relationship so much better. Several hours Jana didn't care about anything around her, she would finish one book and move on to the next until she found a old copy of Angel's book as the title read Jasmine & Ashton A Rose Gold Series: Book 1 it shook her to the core with every detail in each chapter describing their love. It's a wonder it isn't Published by the current company she's working for. She knew it was lesbian, pure love, romance, and more. Jana cried reading some of the pieces that made her want more after finishing book one.

*

After awhile Angel came home searching for Jana. The last place in the whole house she found Jana asleep with her book that she'd written years ago. It was one of her favorites but didn't dare Publish it for many reasons. It made her stomach queasy seeing Jana reading her book, one thing she didn't want anyone to find including Jana a book that is old and should be tossed out more than anything. Angel grabbed her book from Jana gently not wanting to wake her as she looked over her book to see what made Jana read it to begin with than as she opened it up in her own book she found meaningful words circled in red that she used to follow her editing for newer books.

"This book is very good, my love." Jana said in a whisper.

"It is old work, dear, it is of no use to me or anyone else." Angel replied.

"With editing and good eyes, it can be. Babe, you have written a book about love and I am dying to know more about Jasmine and Ashton, this book has big potential that could lead to millions of sales especially if you Publish it to your company this could be worth some deals. A novel would make it a bestseller calling it A Rose Gold or something unique for these character's. Jasmine reminds me of myself with more life than I can handle and Ashton is so you. You gotta make this a Novel or two. Just think about it." Jana explained through a tired yawn.

"We will see. I am going to put this back on the shelf, and go get ready for my next book release of She's My Golden Harp. Such a weird title but could be on my next bestseller list if I keep at it." Angel replied in a yawn herself.

Jana wanted Angel to know what happened next in that book but there was only one copy of it. Jana could write book two herself though she didn't want Angel mad at her for taking over or even making a Novel then placing it out there for Angel. She needed to help Angel that is a fact to face though she knew nothing about writing a book, she could do research and see where it would lead. One thing is for sure if Angel gets success off of this one, it would be a hit and then some. They would make better income than they are now with being able to reopen Frostfire plus have a wedding sooner than later. Jana remembered that she still has the Bakery to go work for and Angel still has her newspaper to work for too in between this Author success to bring in extra money. On weekends though she always has down time and could write up something that would give Angel a boost to write it up though she could write out the book once she learns too and then make it her own with Angel's name on the cover and everything.

Jana just knew in her mind that Jasmine and Ashton will live on their lives even as she helps progress it. Jana saw that Angel went upstairs, she grabbed the book off the shelf, and told Angel she would be back that she had to go do something. Going to buy notebooks, notepads, and pens just to get a start on correcting the book then adding more detail. She is determined to help her fiance with making it to the top. Jana went onto a high end store that had everything for writing and it made her more curious as to what she could use future wise. She loves books as much as Angel but writing would give her a full view of what her fiance does. When she found what she needed, she headed back home to find Briar whimpering at her, she knew Angel is going to be busy and she has to take care of their dog too. So, she placed her notebooks and such in a drawer in their room then headed downstairs to find Angel at the kitchen table focused on her work.

"Hey babe, how did it go for where you went too?" Angel asked.

"Oh, it is wonderful, I had to get notebooks for work to keep track of sales, you know my boss very high end on everything." Jana explained with a smile.

"I know it, love. Any plans for dinner? I am thinking we can go have Chinese or do you need to go check on your mom before we decide that? I haven't seen her out of the house since last time you checked on her." Angel replied shrugging her shoulders.

"I will go check on her and bring her along for dinner, she needs time out of the house. I know this divorce has been rough on her." Jana responded heading for the door again with Briar at her side.

"Great idea, looks like Briar is ready to see Grandma herself." Angel responded with a laugh.

Jana laughed too as she took Briar with her and walked over to her mom's with hopes everything is fine. Reaching the front door, she heard her mom calling for help, and Jana rushed in to find her mom on the upstairs with her face and elbows banged up.

"Mom, are you okay?" Jana said in a panic.

"I am hurting, baby girl, I have fallen down the flight of stairs a few hours ago. I couldn't get to the phone to call you. I think Angel is right, I need to go to a nursing home, my health has declined more of my ability to handle this house. I wish you're dad would've stayed around long enough to get me into one. You will still come see me, right? I know I have refused it but I want you and Angel to still come see me. I love that woman, she has become such a success with her career." Mary replied with a smirk and giggle.

"Mom, I will only be able to come see you. Angel, will be busy touring but I will tell her to make time for you. Let's get you into a stable nursing home, and sort out everything that we need too." Jana responded helping her mom up from the floor, then making their way to the couch.

"Thank you, my sweet baby girl. What made you come over? Everything alright with you two?" Mary replied in a worried voice.

"You're welcome, mom. We are fine, mom. We are wondering if you wanted to get dinner with us? How about Chinese?" Jana responded smiling at her mom.

"Oh no, honey, I couldn't do that. I need to be in that nursing home out in Kansas City. I don't want to be in the way of a good evening. So, go get Angel and we will get me to that nursing home." Mary insisted.

"We can take you tomorrow, mom. You need to eat something and I am not leaving your side. You can stay at our place in the meantime." Jana responded calmly.

Mary shook her head as she grabbed her daughter by the hand.

"Let's go clean up, my scratches and bruises to look pretty for tonight. I want to look wonderful for meeting my new friends at the nursing home, maybe meet a handsome man or woman to spend my life with." Mary said with a wink.

"Mom, are you bisexual?" Jana asked.

"Baby girl, I have always liked women but a man is just as pleasant never keep a closed mind. Now, come on let's go." Mary replied urgently making Jana take her up the stairs to clean up her mom.

Getting up the stairs Jana realized she was supposed to go back and check on Angel then she heard the front door open with Briar yelping with excitement.

"Jana, Mary, are you two okay?" Angel spoke loudly.

"We are fine, my mom fell just getting her cleaned up. We are in the bathroom upstairs." Jana replied back loudly.

Jana heard Angel climbing up the stairs quickly then walked toward the first bathroom.

"Oh, Mary glad you are okay." Angel said.

"Dear, I am perfectly fine. I will take you up on that consideration to send me to nursing home in Kansas City tonight. I will be cleaned up shortly and be ready to meet my new friends." Mary explained.

"Mary, it is late. We can take you tomorrow just come to dinner with us and stay the night in our home." Angel replied concern in her voice.

"You two must be hard of hearing tonight, I want to go to the nursing home and that is final. If I have to I will call a cab and have them take me because I am not staying in this house any longer." Mary responded in frustration as she pushed her daughter away and shoved Angel too hearing the door slam to her bedroom.

"Well, looks like we aren't getting out of this tonight babe." Angel said to Jana.

"Definitely not, go get the truck gassed up and meet us downstairs. I will get mom all pretty up and looking great for her friends in the meantime." Jana replied to Angel with tears forming around her eyes.

Jana went to her mom's room as Angel went downstairs to get everything ready. They weren't ready for a long night out of town but it is happening.

## Chapter Eighteen

It took Mary an hour to get herself ready and packed for what she needed though Jana could only move at her mother's pace. It wasn't that Angel wanted to take her future mother-in-law it is just that she still had work to do and Jana has been acting rather strange since she found her book. So, as they made their way to Kansas City in overnight hours it only got worse for Mary her mental mind began fading, her stories didn't make sense whatsoever. It felt like Mary began fading which explains why she insisted on going to an nursing home this late hour though she can't blame Mary for needing help. They did try to insist the Emergency Room but Mary still wouldn't have it and threatened to get out of the truck if they didn't take her where she wanted. Arriving an hour later they got to the nursing home, Mary chose out, and as they made their way in a night shift worker came through the back door.

"Mary said she would be here. Well here she is, what a beautiful lady." The woman said.

Riverbend Post Acute Rehabilitation is a big brown building that looked like it could hold a good chunk of patients. Mary looked pleased to be in good hands as she waved Jana and Angel off.

"Go on girls, I will be fine. Be sure to visit in a few weeks since they'll be running tests and such." Mary said.

"Mom, hold up. What about us signing you in or anything medical insurance?" Jana replied worryingly.

"It is all in the system when I called last week for preparations because you're dear fiance knew what I needed. Now, go on, go eat and be with each other. Be sure dearest Angel to send me a copy of your book to share with everyone." Mary responded smiling from ear to ear.

Angel held Jana's hand as they watched Mary go inside. Angel turned Jana around to face her.

"We better get going on the road back to home, we do have to get ready for work tomorrow, and see that Briar didn't piss or pee all over your mom's home since we forgot her while rushing with your mom." Angel said.

"I feel like both my parents are gone now, we moved here for my sake, and now it feels like a waste because dad is gone, mom's in a nursing home. This is the worst idea to come out here. You're right, let's go home and get our baby." Jana replied sulking into the front seat of the truck.

Angel never seen Jana so hurt before it is so raw to making her want to cry because she can't solve this situation.

"Sweetheart, your mom will be okay. We will come see her, I can cancel my tour and everything else for us to be around your mom more." Angel said squeezing Jana's hand.

"I can't do that to you, you have worked so hard to become a best selling author. I can now use mom's vehicle to get to the bakery and you can use the truck for your tours. I have no idea what to do about her house though. Her and dad love that house so much." Jana replied.

"Call your dad when we get home and let him handle it because your mom isn't no longer there, he could live in it with his new family." Angel responded.

"That is a no go, no one gets that house but me and my mom that is the agreement we made when dad decided to leave mom. I am not having my dad move back in because he will just not care for it properly, it would all go to waste with filth." Jana replied.

"Sell the house give it to someone who needs it than babe because we have our own home and your mom isn't going to need that. Sell it to a family who needs it, come on? For your mom sake. She can always stay with us when she comes to visit." Angel responded with a smile.

"I will think about it but I do not hold any promises. I don't want to lose my childhood home it means as much to me as my parents do. I love that house more than I can imagine any other home." Jana replied through tears again.

Angel knew Jana meant everything on losing her home to another family but they couldn't afford another home to take care of at the moment. They don't have a set date for their wedding either, so it's like all in the window since they have moved here. It isn't that they don't appreciate one another but their is no time for them anymore. She hasn't cancelled her tour because she knows that she has time to get ready since the weather is pretty bad in Indiana still for her to meet Charlotte Reagan to represent her book along with showing her the works of touring. Angel didn't know if she is going to survive all this mess. It didn't help anything that something bothered Jana with her book from years ago, it wouldn't be a best seller whether it was written as a novel or not.

## Chapter Nineteen

Arriving back in Roseland to their beautiful home to find Briar waiting for them at their doorstep. Unfortunately, Jana ran inside to the upstairs without a word. It bothered her so badly that she couldn't fix Jana's issues with her mom and dad. Angel trudged inside the house to hear Jana crying upstairs, it isn't easy when Jana is suffering so badly on what to do with reality of neither parents are around to support her at this point though Angel has lived that life for so long it doesn't phase her but when it comes to Jana it is a whole different perspective on how her parents should be together and living in that nursing home together.

Angel went to the refrigerator grabbing herself some wine and drinking from the bottle, she is so worried about Jana that she doesn't even want to work on her current book. Angel felt the bottle snatched from her hand as she saw Jana looking at her with sad eyes.

"Resulting to drinking isn't going to solve anything, Angel, we have more of a stable relationship than drinking. No more wine, no more beer, no more anything alcoholic until we are married. I am not having you drink yourself to nothing." Jana said as she wept more tears from her face.

"Babe, I am so sorry. I needed something to relax because of everything going down. I have no idea what to do with myself, my work is to stressful, your parents are falling apart, we can't run off to Michigan because of Shauna and Lucia being upset if we aren't married until then, and plus this tour coming up around the United States by next year." Angel replied crying herself with Jana.

"Don't result to drinking or anything bad because of our life falling apart. We have more than enough reasons to keep living than this. We will get down that aisle as soon as everything around us slows down. I am going to work on my project but please no more alcohol for a while." Jana begged.

"You got it babe. I am wondering what is your project? You went to the store for more than just notebooks and pens." Angel replied smiling.

"Nothing sweetie, just an idea popped in my head. I am going to go take care of that see you in a couple of hours for movie and popcorn because I am not going to be sleeping tonight." Jana responded kissing Angel's cheek then bounced off to the bedroom.

Angel shook her head laughing feeling herself getting a little woozy from the alcohol. She balanced herself upright as she went to the kitchen table to take a good look at the chapter she's working on, and it turned out to be a blank page. She sighed to herself with doubt of ever getting her next Novel written before her next tour but she became clueless as to what a book would represent for the company. They wanted more spice and realistic love between the characters, thing is her romance between characters had chemistry of fantasy that she wished to have with Jana. Angel decided to go upstairs to peek on Jana to see what she is doing. She knocks on the bedroom door finding it locked for some odd reason.

"Jana, can I come in?" Angel asked.

"Yeah, hold on a second." Jana replied.

Angel heard paper noises being put in a drawer quickly. Angel knocked again.

"Jana, is everything okay?" Angel asked again.

"Yeah, fine just hold on, I'm coming." Jana replied.

Angel saw the door being fumbled as it unlocked, Jana opened the door with a smile.

"Everything okay, love?" Jana asked.

"Oh yeah but what are you doing here? I heard paper being put up in a drawer." Angel asked with curiosity.

"Nothing darling just work for the Bakery, Martha is having me take down payments and such." Jana replied.

Angel kept walking toward Jana as they stumbled to the bed, Jana fell on it as Angel climbed on top.

"Now this could lead to some fun." Angel said.

"I think you had to much wine." Jana replied.

Angel kissed Jana softly on the lips feeling their hips grind with clothes still on savoring every kiss. They made love more than they could count that evening and enjoyed being naked against one another, it felt good being in love with one another. Angel kissed Jana's forehead then went to shower, next thing she knew Jana came in behind her giggling non-stop and fondling Angel's body getting so worked up again. Angel and Jana made love again in the shower, in the living room, kitchen, basement and just wouldn't stop they needed, wanted each other so badly. Angel didn't imagine this much making love with her fiance that it would just keep going, they ended up back in the bedroom on their sofa it just made Angel think that they needed to just release the tension between the two.

Finally after hours and hours of making love, Angel grinned to Jana.

"Are we done now?" Angel said laughing.

"Oh no, I don't want to ever stop making love to you. This is the most spontaneous we have gone since I left men for you." Jana responded through giggles.

Angel laughed so hard she nearly fell off the bed.

"Well that is true. You're exes haven't came back either since we have been together. Okay, except Wallace because of your dad but otherwise it has been a rather adventures three years." Angel replied.

Jana shoved Angel then kissed her with passion as they went at it again. Jana just couldn't get enough of her wonderful fiance though didn't help her new novel has sparked her sex drive beyond to what she could handle and her pussy kept itching for more every time she thought of it. A whole night of making love into the morning finally wore Jana out to where she needed a breather that is when she went into the kitchen to make some coffee and smile so proud of finding Angel crashed out on the couch naked. Jana never imagined being happier with Angel since they got together. Jana placed her coffee cup in the sink, covered Angel up, and went to get herself ready for work because Martha called in between breaks needing extra hands in the Bakery.

## Chapter Twenty

Angel awoke to finding Briar licking her face which is making her giggle. Angel placed Briar on her lap to find a note beside her on the table side as it read.

Angel,

Martha called while we were pleasuring ourselves turns out she needed me down at the bakery, so I won't be home until later this evening. If you happen to wake up please make sure Briar uses the bathroom and is fed because I know she is going to miss me in the meantime. I love you and see you this evening.

Love,

Jana

Angel chuckled reading the note as she saw Briar wagging her tail to go outside. Angel went upstairs putting on some clothes and then took Briar outside for her normal run around in the backyard. Angel sat on the back patio writing on her book as Briar played with the butterflies. Angel loved that little puppy as much as Jana did. Then it dawned on Angel she could go see what Jana was hiding as she placed her laptop down and headed upstairs to their bedroom, she opened Jana's dresser drawer to find nothing it's empty. Angel is for sure Jana is working on something because she grabbed all sorts of notebooks and pens at least according to her. Angel shook her head in denial that Jana would work on something in secret from her but she went back downstairs to work on her current novel that seems to have her stuck once again. Looking over her novel it seemed to point out what was missing as she reread it with a smile, it dawned on her amazement. Angel typed away for over an hour when Briar started whining to go back inside and get some food an water to recharge herself, Angel needed more coffee as it is to keep going with her flow.

Angel got her coffee then sprinted back to work on the porch to find her ending of a great book that she couldn't seem to resist on writing though she is afraid of backlash but she did gain fame from her first book Jazzabelle's Fame & Fortune Of A Lesbian Life. It became a real beauty once released and fame flew with it. This one just gives Jazzabelle more love and adoration with her wife Victoria aka Nikki, it shows a fabulous life after fame and fortune soon took over. Nothing extravagant but readers were dying for more of what went on between the two though it is a false tale, some have lived by the quotes, others lived by their life and so forth.

Before, Angel knew Jana sat beside her with a grin.

"You have been here all day working on that second book?" Jana said.

"Well, yeah, ideas keep sparking up. By the way, where did all your work go that was in the drawer last night that you stashed away from me?" Angel asked.

"Believe it or not, I am making a book myself. I can't say what it is but it will have an impact on your career and I will be sure to forward it to your company once it is completed." Jana replied smiling.

"You better not be messing with that Rose Gold Series, it isn't worth anything now since I have introduced Jazzabelle and Nikki as replacement to my namesake of the company. I can't afford Rose Gold Series to make its debut, it will be a disaster to my accomplishments so far." Angel responded through frustration pulling her hair.

"Angel, it has a new title and is in the works. Please just read it, I promise you, it does sound better than the original." Jana replied begging with puppy eyes.

"Alright babe, where is this new work at? I will give it a shot to see if it meets requirements for future Publishing." Angel responded.

Jana went inside grabbing her notebooks, pens, and surprisingly notepads to keep track of her work, it was all so organized it amazed her. Jana handed over her notebook full of notes then the one with the story to show Angel that she could do this new book. Jana saw Angel's surprise of how much she did in the book even reading it out loud and editing where it needed to make it sound good. Angel then looked at Jana with a smile.

"Where did you come up with this story? It is better than my own book that was written way before we got together. Ashton seems so much more than just an imagination and Jasmine sounds like my own fiance it is so amazing to see where you have brought them out of their shell, when did you plan on Publishing this under my name?" Angel asked all surprised.

"While you were busy writing this one, I have decided to take this one on, and whenever I get it finished to send off too your Publishers because this book is exciting as it is." Jana replied.

"I am very proud of you, Jana. This book is amazing though I see you have no title or description yet though that might come as the story flows which happens to a lot of writers that it comes later on while writing. I am more excited to see where it goes, do you think we could work on it together later on?" Angel responded.

"If I get stuck I will ask for your help. I do want to do this on my own to the best of my ability. I do, thank you for the help, my love. I am going to head in to write and cook dinner. I will bring dinner out to you when it is done." Jana replied kissing Angel on the cheek.

Angel saw Jana go back to the kitchen with a bounce in her step as she went to go make dinner and work on her book too. That is when a idea came up for her in the next installment of Jazzabelle and Nikki it dawned on her that she could make it more realistic about two authors in one household that would take a spin off to their wedding in the fourth or fifth installment. Angel ran back inside to tell Jana her plans.

"Jana, babe, where are you? I need to talk with you." Angel said.

"In the living room sweetheart." Jana replied.

Angel walked into the living room smiling seeing Jana working hard on this book that she has taken over as she placed it to the side.

"Everything okay, Angel?" Jana asked.

"It is well, perfect, amazing. You can Publish that book once you're done. Self-Publishing is a high market right now and it would be great to get your name out there too." Angel said with excitement.

"Angel, honey, I have no success in this industry like you do. You will need to put this in your name, it wouldn't be right for me to take your hard earned work from you. This is your dream not mine. My dream is much more than taking yours away. I am proud of how far you have come with Jazzabelle and Nikki but I will not take this book into my own name." Jana replied with a sad tone.

"Think about it, baby, please. I want us both to be successful in our own ways." Angel responded as she turned around to get her laptop to join Jana on the couch.

Angel never felt so heartbroken of something that they both could do.

## Chapter Twenty-One

Jana and Angel avoided each other soon after that discussion. Jana would go hide in their bedroom while Angel would work in the living room. They're bonding went away soon after it looks like another downfall has hit them. Angel placed her laptop down then made her way upstairs to peek in on Jana to find that she isn't even in the room. She walked around the room to find Jana in the bath and hearing her cry with the water flowing. Angel sat by the bathroom door listening to Jana cry. Angel wanted to cry too for whatever reason is bothering Jana but she knew that she couldn't as she went to move to the toilet silently without disturbing Jana. They both sat silently in their spots without a word knowing that they've fallen apart again for no reason in particular.

"I can't stand this quiet, Jana. What is going on? Ever since I brought up about you becoming an author, you have faded from the whole idea. I know you are still working on it but we haven't touched each other in nights and I know we miss each other that is a fact." Angel said through gritted teeth.

"This book is so difficult, I ended up in a plot that I can't get out of, and the thought of Publishing this book has been a scarce to my reality of what I really want to do. No wonder you said not to worry about it, it is a failure." Jana replied through tears.

"Wait, what? No, Jana don't give up. Let me see what you have and I will help you through it. Don't worry about Publishing whatsoever at this point. We got to get you to finish this book, somehow even if it takes days or months. It isn't a failure because you have put your heart into it like a real writer has done in many of their books." Angel responded with confidence.

"I can't do this Angel. We are already struggling with day to day life as it is and we haven't planned our wedding for next Spring that is coming up really soon. We have no song, no priest, no nothing, we are in the woods of this whole thing. Plus two books going out by the same time this is unreal." Jana replied with tears just flowing constantly.

"We're getting married next Spring? I didn't know it was that soon. We will get married by April of next year, we will go to the Courthouse and get our date set to be married because everyone is still waiting on it. I am thinking it is best to Elope since we have no one here and everyone else is in Michigan." Angel explained to the best of her ability to make it serious enough for Jana.

"Elope? Elope? Angel, are you serious? We can't Elope no, I want an actual wedding with everything from music to family, friends, and more. I want us to slow dance to our song. I want this to be important Angel. Please, let us have a real wedding it would mean so much to me." Jana pleaded with more tears.

"We will try, I will make sure to get a hold of Shauna and Lucia, Scarlett and her wife, and whoever else. We will need your mom and dad. I have no one, so I will be the man in this wedding. We would need to find a DJ, and good lord find us a priest that isn't going to freak out over two women being together as one." Angel responded going down by the bathtub brushing Jana's hair with her fingers.

"So, you're okay with us having a wedding?" Jana asked leaning against the tub.

"Yes, even though it is going to be a struggle. We can do this." Angel replied smiling.

Jana kissed Angel then Angel climbed in with her clothes on as they made out. Angel laughed between kisses though she undressed herself the same time though they ended up making deep love in the bathtub to where Jana moaned so loud it made Angel smile ear to ear. Angel drained the bathtub as both of them were led to their bed soaking wet from top to bottom with bubbles all over. Jana kissed Angel then grinded herself against Angel making her moan until she screamed and then Angel did it to Jana it was a night that they couldn't resist of one another again.

After making love they finally crashed and woke up refreshed for work the next morning. Jana hurried herself out the door for the bakery and Angel headed to her desktop to see any updates for the local paper also from her Publishers on her last book which ended up disappointing them. Angel threw her laptop across the floor and screamed, she knew her book had everything they needed but this one wasn't as good as book one, it pissed her off so badly. Angel called up Jana explaining what went down that she broke her laptop in the process of what went down with her Publishing company because they didn't accept her recent book. Angel took a huge sigh of relief when Jana said that she can always Self-Publish her work without dealing with contractors that keep messing up her plans since they would be doing that with Jana's book in the end feeling it would bring in extra money. Angel grabbed her laptop off the floor seeing the screen shatter hurt her as she went to her office in the basement with Briar behind her to work on her desktop computer to get someone to look over her current book and edit it.

Jana came home to find Angel working in her office in the basement with a smile on her face after the big fiasco this morning with the Publishers. They went on about their wedding plans that established beyond words when Jana called to tell her mom everything going on and that she would like it if her dad can give her away. Unfortunately, Mary didn't agree to having Gabriel give her away and wanted one of their closets family friend too. Jana didn't want to leave her dad out of anything especially when it came to the wedding, he belong there as much as her mom. Every time Jana would talk to one of her parents they would argue about the other and her father would nag on and on about how his princess should be with a man, not to marry a woman that she isn't going to be happy with in the end. Jana knew that her love for Angel is everything but going beyond their power of love seems so difficult when it comes to her parents. Jana grabbed her wallet and keys then headed out the door to go for a drive she couldn't handle the conflict her parents have put on her. She wanted a happy ending but it seems so far fetch with either parent.

Jana knew that leaving Angel at home to work would be better because she is ready to knock some sense into her dad on thinking that she needs a man to be happy. She learned after Wallace became Polyamorous that she didn't want that life style, she needed happiness, love, faithful, and more. Dating other men after Wallace became a horrible choice because they weren't filling her need. Angel has filled her needs and more with love and appreciation it meant everything to her. Jana missed being around certain people that would help her with advice, no, it wasn't Destiny but a special friend she had his name was Shawn Peters he loved photography and so much more, he also understood why she didn't like Wallace's ways when they were together. Though that is the past and now she has new life to look forward to with Angel.

Jana drove around for the next hour than went downtown to find something for dinner that evening and go around looking for her next idea to plot for her new book too that Angel has helped developed too, she couldn't help by having Angel collaborate on the book also plus discuss their wedding ideas for next Spring that will fly by soon. Jana grabbed what she needed then headed back home with a fresh mind. This time she is ready for what is in store for her and Angel especially when it comes to being married. The life that will unveil after that.

## Chapter Twenty-Two

Angel knew this is tearing Jana up on her parents not agreeing on any part of the wedding, let alone helping with funds and such. They argued everything with her, only exception is her dad nagging about her relationship with a woman. Angel shut down her computer for the evening and went upstairs to find Briar chewing on her chew toy, Angel shook her head as she went to the couch to turn on something fun to watch on television. Angel ended up falling asleep after watching an hour of television since Jana wasn't home yet and Briar crashed beside her. It began as a hell of a day then ended that way with Jana's parents it is a win or lose situation at this point for everyone who needed something equally.

Fifteen minutes into her dream she smelled something so delicious it made her mouth water which meant Jana is home and it woke her from a deep sleep that felt good with energy afterwards. Angel rushed into the kitchen to find Jana smiling at Angel.

"I figured we both good eat a nice big meal tonight. How about some steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, and succotash for a good wholesome meal?" Jana said perky and happy.

"Sounds good, babe. I thought you would be crying after everything that went down today." Angel replied smiling herself.

"No way, no one can make me as happy as you when I recalled what Wallace became many years ago this is payback for everything he has done to me since he couldn't appreciate me. My good friend Shawn Peters was just like you full of love and support though I was never in a relationship with him, I still enjoyed his presence when he did come around." Jana went on. "I can say that he would have made sure this wedding went on with or without my parents." Jana explained.

"That is good to hear but you do realize if you want this to happen in the spring you will have to face everyone and prepare for a good or bad outcome. I know that you're parents support means everything to you but we do still have to sign paperwork and everything if we are going through this. Yes, Wallace does deserve this, you also deserve someone to love you and be happy in the end, not for revenge. Just think about Jana." Angel replied.

"I guess we will be planning more as months go on and get these books done up. I am just trying not to bite too much off on this whole wedding idea. I have been wanting to be married to you for several years now and it feels like the older we get the harder it is to prepare ourselves." Jana responded.

"We will have this wedding that isn't going anywhere and we will settle down with a wedding in the Spring just got to get everyone on board, it is going to be tough as months get closer but you just got to believe everything will go normally." Angel replied smiling.

Jana nodded in agreement then went back to taking care of dinner for the two of them making sure it is ready to serve though the steak is a longer cook on the stove which is why she did mashed potatoes and succotash first placing them in the refrigerator. Jana looked them both over then went back to the table to sit with Angel seeing her eyes shine.

"What are you dreaming about?" Jana asked.

"Our wedding day, seeing you in a beautiful white wedding dress with your gorgeous smile as you make your way toward me, and your dad giving you away with acceptance once and for all." Angel replied in a dreamy voice.

"Baby, you are something else though I can see you in a tux looking all handsome and smiling as I walk toward you in the aisle." Jana responded through giggles.

"You can still have your dream wedding my lady. Let's just Elope so that way this will all be less stressful. We can still have Shauna and Lucia give us away, they are family to us. Granted, Shauna didn't want to see us until we were married but that doesn't mean we can't have her apart of it." Angel replied.

"I don't know, I do wish to have a full wedding with everyone including my parents but that seems so far out of reach since no one wants to accept us together including my own dad." Jana responded through her gritted teeth.

Jana realized that she needed to grab the steaks and everything else off the stove as she rushed over to plate everything.

"Jana, I do want you to realize if we don't do a full scene wedding it is fine, as long as you are my wife, I love you for who you are and you know that." Angel said as she got her plate of food from Jana.

"I know you do, I have always dreamed of huge not small or hidden. My parents need to be involved not just Shauna and Lucia." Jana replied as she stuffed her face full of mashed potatoes.

Angel got up from the table not wanting to listen too Jana's denial it can't be hard to Elope but a full on wedding seems so stressful compared to the latter of the two. Angel wanted to make Jana happy on anything and everything but being a full on wedding with caters, and such is a hassle in itself. Angel went downstairs to her office to work some more on her next release while trying to stay calm for her next pursuit on Jana to Elope because there has to be a way to settle this once and for all without losing one another.

## Chapter Twenty-Three

Angel found herself lost in her current book that she didn't hear Jana come downstairs. Angel looked over to find Jana on the couch, hanging her head low.

"I am sorry for arguing in the Kitchen about this whole wedding thing. I am scared of the worst outcome if my parents never see me down the aisle. My dad hates me for my decisions when I still wouldn't marry Wallace, my mom has Alzheimer's and Dementia meaning her memory is fading permanently. I'm so stressed, I don't know how to handle all of this." Jana said through frustration.

"Sounds like we need another vacation but I know we can't afford it right now, especially taking care of Briar." Angel replied.

"I don't want a vacation again, I just want everything to work out." Jana responded.

Angel sat beside Jana on the couch, holding hands, and kissing Jana softly on the lips.

"Let's go do something fun for a little while. Movie, cuddle under the stars, and anything else you want." Angel said smiling.

"No, no, I think I'm going to bed since I do need sleep for work tomorrow. I will see you in the morning." Jana replied as she squeezed Angel's hand and left the room.

Angel felt herself being a let down on trying to make Jana happy on anything and everything she wanted. Angel went back to work on her book for the next several hours before finally calling it a night.

*

That following morning Jana went to get ready for work as she found a note by Angel stating that she had to leave for a important review with one of the Author's in Indiana that she couldn't be home tonight. Jana threw the note away knowing Angel would be extremely with getting her books on board again. Jana looked over the one that they're working on, and it still wasn't completed. She wanted nothing more than to finish this book before Angel's next tour date but writers block kept getting in her way with everything going on like her idea of a wedding that Angel didn't want.

Grabbing her purse and truck keys, she headed out the door for more inspiration like going to the library to find potential ways to get her brain flowing on this book. It meant everything to her too get inspiration back for a future bestseller. Next thing, she didn't expect her phone to go off showing that Martha is calling.

"Hello, Martha." Jana said.

"You are late for your shift, where are you?" Martha replied sternly.

"Oh, I am at the library downtown. I had to do some research on an important class assignment." Jana responded.

"You're shift started over an hour ago. Get over here now at this bakery or you are fired, Jana." Martha replied then hung up the phone.

Jana sighed as she gathered everything to head too work even though she rather spend her day working on this book that they both are excited for. Though time will come when she can get time off to work on it more but her duty is to work hard because of wanting to be married to Angel as soon as they can.

Arriving into work Martha went on a rampage of how Jana should've known better to arrive on time and not run late. It annoyed Jana so badly, she wish that she could quit but they don't have the funds for their new bookstore yet. Jana had no down time anymore it was more working than fun with Angel and getting their wedding set up by Spring though she is in thought of going with Angel's idea of going to Elope instead of trying to plan her dream wedding. Jana began working through her work day, texting Angel in between on idea of when to Elope instead of trying to figure out a budget for a big day of an wedding that they would have no time for.

Finally, Jana's day ended and she headed on home to find Angel still gone. Jana thrived to keep herself entertained though Briar would still cuddle with her and they'd fall asleep together not bothering with food or anything, Jana just felt so exhausted. Once she felt well rested again she went through her phone to see if any work had come up which thankfully their wasn't and she could get some work on the house along with the book. After several hours of housework and working on the book, Angel finally contacts Jana letting her know that she is coming home and that her official announcement for Jasmine and Ashton to be released as a full based novel within the next year. Jana didn't know how to expect such a release so soon when she still has a long ways to go with learning how to write a full blown novel without making any mistakes.

*

Angel felt relieved to be heading home to be with Jana after a week away, she isn't so sure on touring on being away from Jana for so long, and she admitted preparing Jana for that seemed cruel as she thought on it more. Angel missed Jana for long periods of time especially when it came to their romance. Angel missed Jana for long periods of time especially when it came to their romance. Upon arriving in Kansas she sighed a relief and knowing home wasn't too far off. Angel held her cross on the rear view mirror thinking of her wedding day with Jana that is itching any moment. Angel knew in her mind that she should do a full blown wedding with Jana they did deserve it because Eloping is just plain and boring with no thrill with anyone.

Getting into the driveway looking at her home with a smile as she saw Jana standing in the doorway with a blushing smile. It made her realize touring isn't her thing that her life is writing and staying home. So, she let her Publishing Company and Charlotte Reagan know that she couldn't do the traveling without her partner, and they both completely understood. Angel wanted to meet her readers but she couldn't see herself without Jana anymore and she knew how much everyone wants them married. Angel got out of her car then ran to Jana, grabbing Jana up and twirling her around with kisses.

"Damn, I missed you." Angel said.

"I have missed you too." Jana replied as her face still turned bright red.

"I have thought about it long and hard, I don't want to travel the world to become famous, and I want to have a full blown wedding with you instead of Eloping." Angel responded.

"What? No, Angel you can't quit your dream and if you want to Elope it is fine, I am all for it especially with our crazy schedules." Jana replied nervously backing away from Angel rushing inside the house.

Angel walked inside the house closing their front door. She didn't under why Jana freaked out like that it wasn't like Jana to freak out over scheduling and such but she knew how much Jana wanted everyone at home for their wedding or at least thought she did.

# Chapter Twenty-Four

Angel found Jana on the couch crying her eyes out with Briar cuddling next to her with whimpers coming out from the puppy. Angel made her way to the couch than sat next to Jana with a big sigh trying not to be dramatic but it seemed they couldn't find a way to make everything work.

"Babe, please let's talk figuring this out." Angel said holding on to her wallet tightly.

Jana wiped her eyes looking at Angel.

"What is it going to do too talk? You have drained your dream. You were all set to Elope and now you want a full blown wedding by Spring. It is almost Christmas and we have nothing for one another, our house is empty of any holidays. Are we meant to be together? We are more apart than home anymore." Jana replied with a harsh tone.

"Jana, we are fine. It is part of life to be working all the time, you know this. I want us to be married when we are ready if it is stressing that much, we can get married later on. I want you happy more than anything especially finding out how Wallace treated you in the past, and I know you love me more than you have anyone else." Angel responded trying to make light of the situation.

"Let's go get married now then we can enjoy our honeymoon and you can go back to working on your future success. It would be a great way to enjoy one another plus this can give us new ideas for our future and I can leave Briar with my dad and his new girlfriend in the meantime. We can get Shauna and Lucia to join us for the wedding as well to be our witnesses as you have told me before. Please, Angel this is perfect timing." Jana replied with a smile to light up the room.

"We can sign the papers now and be married in Spring with Shauna and Lucia as witnesses since we don't need everyone to see us getting married. I don't want us to rush into marriage, right away babe but I want us to enjoy each other too before we decide what else our future holds like adopting kids, we want to be wise and not ruin anything by rushing. We have all the time in the world to be married and I wanted to take a break from this big move of touring to be with you, you mean everything to me and I don't want to leave you by yourself." Angel explained to the best of her ability to make Jana understand.

Jana finally agreed to Angel's thoughts on their wedding. They went right down to the courthouse in downtown Kansas City to sign their paperwork and went on figuring out the next order of wedding plans that have lead them to finance struggles to complete everything in time by Spring because Jana wanted to make sure, everyone is attending including Angel's mom and her parents that still mean everything to her. They settled with forty people to come too the wedding including some of Angel's fans from her book launch that happened months ago. Christmas and every holiday ended up being on the back burner due to wanting this wedding. Jana ended up calling Kansas City Courthouse to see if they could schedule their wedding for the Fall of that next year due to finances that still didn't make enough for requirements with their wedding planner.

Angel had no choice but to go back on her tour with any author she could find to join her along with Jana needing to go back to work in the bakery for extra funds. Sacrifices had to be made to get their wedding going so both of them can enjoy life as an happily married couple. They saved a whole year, went and sign again at the courthouse once more, settled with the wedding planner also made their wedding become a reality.

"Baby, can you believe it? Our wedding is beginning to become a reality after a year of struggle to make ends meet. We will be able to open our own store again too this time naming it Windsong in memory of my grandma." Jana said with bundles of excitement.

"Sweetheart, only a week away for our official wedding. Might as well make you store owner this time then because it will be for your grandmother." Angel replied moving Jana's hair out of her eyes.

"A week with our honeymoon soon after. By the way, where are we headed for that? We never discussed it but we saved so much in funds even for paying on the house that I didn't think to ask what you had in mind for that?" Jana responded with peaked curiosity.

"That my lovely bride-to-be is a surprise for you to know and trust me it is worth it. Be prepared to pack your bags too for about two weeks worth since we still have to have funds for other bills and events coming up. Shauna is planning to get married herself within the next year or two, so we will be attending that one in Michigan." Angel replied with a smile from ear to ear.

"Two weeks? Martha isn't going to let me go away that long for a trip. Shauna getting married is exciting news to hear though but when did she propose to Lucia?" Jana asked in more curiosity.

"You are full of questions all of a sudden, my goodness. Lucia proposed to her right after I have made the announcement of our rescheduled wedding. As for Martha, I made her take an agreement that if she attends the wedding with your co-workers that you could have time off for our honeymoon." Angel replied smirking at Jana as she looks at her completely shocked. "Looks like we were scheduled for it to be busy these next several years though we still haven't figured out when we are adopting kids either." Jana responded thoughtfully.

"We will get it figured out before we get to much older." Angel replied. "For now let's worry about getting down the aisle since we have a little time to go."

As work passed by Martha and all of Jana's co-workers helped her prepare a beautiful cake two days prior to the wedding. Jana managed to find a beautiful dress that would make Angel fall head over heels again. Jana felt her nerves approaching as the countdown began that she knew her future is about to take a big leap.

# Chapter Twenty-Five

Day of the wedding came as Jana got up extra early to get her hair done, dress put on, pantyhose, heels, and the train with her small crown, she wanted to feel like a princess on her wedding day. She knew Angel would appreciate her bride being gorgeous in her long wedding gown. She had no idea what Angel chose either a wedding dress or a tuxedo though in Jana's mind that didn't matter, she's happy to have her dream wedding, and enjoy their surprised honeymoon afterward. Getting her hair done, Lucia came in with a smile holding her purse tightly.

"Jana, how did you know Angel is the one for you? I was straight before getting with Shauna." Lucia asked shyly.

"Wait, what? You are in the same boat as me in this whole scenario. Lucia, Angel taught me to love her long before I was even ready but she guided me slowly to make sure our love wouldn't end in tragic. Don't tell me you are leaving Shauna?" Jana replied feeling a panic in her chest.

"Yes, I am, was, I don't know. I love Shauna but being engaged to her right away seems so soon, and our wedding is next year. I am not ready for this lifestyle. I know I should have contacted you before your wedding day on this but Jana, I don't think Shauna understands that I have never fell in love with a woman before. I am scared and freaking out badly." Shauna responded as her voice breaks.

"You need to at least tell Shauna the truth, Lucia, including the fact that you weren't lesbian originally. She deserves that much." Jana replied calmly.

"Tell me what? Lucia, we need to get out there the wedding starts in two minutes. Jana, I hope you are ready to go forward with this." Shauna asked then positioned herself straight forward.

"What do you mean in two minutes? My hair and makeup isn't done. Angel will not appreciate that I spent all our money with talking. I need a real quick makeup and hair done, quickly. I need to also get my dress on. Damn it, Shauna call Angel and tell her the wedding is going to be held off for at least an hour. I need to be ready, this isn't ready." Jana freaked out as the hairdresser scrambled to get her hair done quickly.

Shauna and Lucia left for the church to see if Angel is at least dressed though Lucia kept quiet along the way not bothering with the discussion she had with Jana, they needed to focus on the brides that are about to be married off soon. Shauna kissed Lucia's hand.

"I can't wait until it is our turn to be down the aisle and them two be by our side. Next year needs to come quick because I can't let you go, I am so in love with you." Shauna said with a smirk.

Lucia faced the window without saying a word, she loves Shauna but she isn't ready to even take that huge step. She found love before she was even ready though their still in college it isn't enough for them to be down the aisle quite yet. Once they arrived at the church Lucia bolted inside and went to change into her bridesmaid dress that is a beautiful sparkly pink that is to her knee caps it made her stand out. She twirled around the room barefoot as Angel came in laughing.

"Aren't you a darling, princess? Glad you like it and it fits. This came from Shauna." Angel handed her a piece of paper.

Lucia opened the paper and it read:

Lucia,

You ran off before I could ask you to change together. Whatever is bothering you, I hope we can resolve together, and know that I love you. I wanted to know if we could dance together at the end of the night at a special place that I have reserved for us? See you soon with your new dress from Jana & Angel.

Love,

Shauna

Lucia tossed the paper out and shook her head. She has to leave especially now this is to much. She wrote a note explaining her departure for Shauna to be let know and left it at that. She isn't participating in the wedding, she took off the dress, back into her normal clothes, and grabbed a taxi back to Rose County, Michigan.

The wedding began without Lucia leaving Shauna heartbroken when she did finally find the letter. Angel met everyone and seated them before Jana appeared for the final touches. Angel postponed an hour like Jana asked because she didn't have time to be ready with the commotion around her. Angel wore a white tux with a bright pink tie and white tennis shoes, she didn't want to go to fancy. Unfortunately, bridesmaid for Jana would have to be her mom though the woman looked so fragile and could break a fall at any moment. Shauna stuck to being with Angel as a groomsman wearing the same suit colors only wearing fancy black shoes instead. Angel watched the crowd get bigger though they only reserved for twenty people plus their kids. Music began right on time as Angel stood there waiting on Jana to come out, Shauna looked panic when she didn't see Jana come out then at the last second Jana appeared with a smile on her face, gracefully walking toward Angel, Angel held in her tears the closer Jana got though she had a hard time not welling up until Jana took her hand and she took off the veil to reveal her beautiful gorgeous bride with pink makeup and her crown placed with curls. Jana grew out her hair for this special moment to be with Angel. Angel looked up and down at the dress as it were heaven, Jana saw the same in Angel's tuxedo, and it became so unreal that Jana dressed like a beautiful princess with a sparkling white dress down to her sparkle white heels, she stood out to the crowd but most importantly for her.

Preacher finally cleared his throat beginning the vows as Jana and Angel repeated including sharing their small vows to one another, and ended with a deep kiss that made the crowd holler in excitement. Their rose colored rings made a beauty together around them. Running out of the church to the limo with confetti was fun since they added that as celebration, and they were headed to their reception as they shared white wine on the way plus sharing kisses as wives. Jana kept wiping her tears of joy from her face though Angel kept wiping them away.

"Best day of our life and my beautiful bride keeps crying. I love you Jana! I can't wait to see where we go next." Angel said with a grin.

"I can't believe it took this long to finally marry someone but it is worth it after all these years and to finally be myself. I am glad my parents attended along with your mom." Jana replied wiping more tears away.

"I would say let's ditch the reception but everyone is expecting us to cut the cake and party until we leave but I do so badly want to strip that dress off of you and make it the best night of your life again like when we got engaged." Angel responded kissing Jana's hands.

"I need more time with mom and dad before you whisk me away to your surprise though are you going to tell me? I am your wife now." Jana replied nudging Angel with her elbow.

"You will see after the reception, trust me, it is going to be so worth it." Angel responded in all seriousness.

Arriving at the reception everyone couldn't wait to hug them both and congratulate though

Shauna wasn't there in the crowd and they both knew then that Shauna went after Lucia. They were very upset at the way it had gone for them but it is their best night with or without them they needed to celebrate. Jana, decided that they were going to dance after cake and wine so everyone could leave early if need be especially the parents. They both cut their beautiful cake and smashed it onto one another with laughs. They didn't bother with a toast due to neither party was their to originally toast. The night went on for another two hours as everyone slowly trickled out. Jana walked around without her heels at that point because they didn't bother changing in the process of the night. As it ended Jana and Angel picked up the reception for the next couple to come in, and headed off for the night. It became the best evening of their life though they were really worried about Shauna and Lucia.

Angel carried Jana to the limo as they made their way to the airport for a late night flight.

Honeymoon is in the Epilogue!

# Epilogue

Angel couldn't believe she got reservations for a hotel in California for a whole two weeks with a high cost that is unbelievable but she had to make sure to schedule a few days prior to make sure rooms were available. She couldn't afford Bahamas or Hawaii or Paris but she was able to afford California where their is a big wedding surprise waiting for them. She contacted them two months ahead to let them know that they had a wedding coming up and she wanted to make sure that they were able to pull off this most amazing beach view with stores along it an to explore the strip. Angel knew that Jana has never left beyond the East Coast. This opportunity came so quick but she knew she wanted to make Jana happy. If anyone knows Jana personally they'd know her favorite NFL Quarterback and let's just say making the arrangement was difficult but he will be greeting her at their hotel once they arrive.

They're private plane landed on time as Angel woke Jana up since it is still dark out as she escorted her off the plane and into the limo once again, they enjoyed more wine and cuddling to one another. Upon arriving at the hotel, Jana looked at Angel with a questioned expression.

"We have been drinking wine since we left home, I am still in question as to where are we, and why this hotel?" Jana asked.

"Babe, trust me, this destination is worth it. Let's get inside and head to our room." Angel smiled innocently.

Getting out of the limo Jana was blindfolded but with Angel guiding her inside. Angel placed Jana in a chair as she went to get the room reservation but before she could turn around she heard Jana squealing seeing Patrick Mahomes with a grin on his face and a dozen roses. Jana hugged him, snapped pictures, and kissed his cheeks until she turned pink in the cheeks. Angel laughed so did everyone in the waiting hall. Angel met Patrick with a shake of his hand and he guided them to their room on the top floor.

"Ladies, I do now present to you, your honeymoon." Patrick said in a soothing voice that Jana nearly fell over.

Angel swiped the card when it opened to a hotel suite full of snacks, fridge, roses all over, chocolate on the bed, and a whole lot more to see. Jana couldn't take her hormones anymore as she shut the door on Patrick than stripped down for Angel out of her wedding dress, she didn't want to wait for their suitcases. Jana picked Angel up taking her to the bed as she stripped Angel so fast that she didn't have a second to breath. Angel felt Jana go down on her as she twisted her hands in the blanket and screamed over an over until she couldn't take no more though Jana smiled from ear to ear.

"This is the best day of my life and meeting him just made everything million times better." Jana said between breaths.

"I am so glad, I have made our honeymoon a memory you'll never forget, and I can't wait to release our book together in the future together too along with having kids, though I do miss Briar." Angel replied wiping her tears away with happiness.

Two weeks flew by as they made their way back to Roseland, Kansas and see Briar. Jana couldn't wait to get back to work and Angel couldn't wait to be on tour. Their marriage is officially set in stone and they both now have followed their dreams to become both happy wives. Jana and Angel couldn't have asked for a better happy ending to their long waited life together.

The End
