Part Four
By Chrissy and Peyton
After they had arrived at home they put Jake to bed. They each took their showers putting on their night clothes before sitting on the sofa.
"I just can't believe what has gotten into Alexis. For all that we all have done for her, to just up and leave without as much as a note or anything doesn't make any sense. I thought I was in love with her, but now I'm not sure what I saw to make me think that," Kayla told Rose Marie with her eyes watering up.
Rose Marie moved over next to Kayla putting her arm around her, pulling her in close. "I don't know what to say, Kayla. I know how you feel and I am sorry for how this is all unfolding for you. You above all don't deserve to be treated this way. Give it time and I'm sure we all will be able to make sense of it." Rose Marie then kissed Kayla on the top of the head while using her other hand to place her palm on Kayla's cheek.
"Thank you. You always seem to know what to say and do when it needs to be said or done. I'm so glad I have you," Kayla said looking into Rose Marie's eyes.
They sat there for a few minutes staring at each other. Rose Marie still had her arm around Kayla holding her and with the other gently stroking her cheek. It seemed they were looking in the sole of each other through their eyes deciding what to do next.
"I think it's time for me to get to bed," Rose Marie said and leaned in kissing Kayla on the forehead before getting up and going to bed. After she was in bed she at first admonished herself for the feelings she was having for Kayla. Kayla was vulnerable right now and it would be wrong to take advantage of her at this time. Besides, she was so young not to mention she was a woman. But then she thought to herself, "Why am I so physically attracted to Kayla?" Her heart beat rapidly when she held Kayla in her arms and kissed her. It didn't matter that she was a woman, she was attracted to her emotionally, physically and sexually. Rose Marie didn't have an answer for her thoughts. She kept wondering though until she fell asleep.
Kayla went to bed too. She likewise was having thoughts. Alexis had left her and while she loved her dearly she didn't see the two of them ever getting back together. She tried to convince herself it was time to move on but she knew it wouldn't be easy because of her feelings for Alexis. Add to that she was now having some of the same feelings for Rose Marie. Her heart fluttered when she was close to Rose Marie. Then there was just something about her that Kayla was so attracted to. When she was with her, she wanted to hold her and kiss her. She knew she needed to sort things out but she was too tired to think.
Weeks went by and no word from Alexis. Kayla and Rose Marie were becoming more and more attached to each other. Kayla still was deeply in love with Alexis, fighting her emotions and trying to put her out of her mind. For the most part she was succeeding. At the same time she knew her feelings for Rose Marie were growing stronger too.
One night after they were home and had put Jake to bed, they sat on the sofa talking. It was obvious that Kayla was still missing Alexis and Rose Marie could see it in Kayla.
"Come over here and lay your head on my lap," Rose Marie told Kayla.
Kayla moved over laying her head on Rose Marie's lap facing up. Rose Marie began to run her fingers through Kayla's hair with her other hand on Kayla's stomach gently running her fingernails across Kayla's stomach. Kayla closed her eyes as Rose Marie caressed her. It was soothing and soon Kayla's thoughts were no longer on Alexis.
Kayla looked up at Rose Marie feeling safe and protected in her arms. She felt funny as though she was nervous but wasn't sure why. All she could see was a beautiful woman who she loved for many reasons, giving her the comfort and closeness she needed. She remembered the other day when she tasted her lips that she could see and she felt she needed them again. She moved her hand up running her fingers across Rose Marie's lips.
Rose Marie closed her eyes and kissed Kayla's fingers as they moved across her lips. She inhaled deeply as the feeling had taken her breath away. When she opened her eyes Kayla's lips were a mere inch from her lips and Kayla was staring at her lips. The distance closed and their lips touched. The emotions running through both of them left them shaking from nerves.
The kiss only seconds before Rose Marie opened her eyes. looking at Kayla. Here before her was an eighteen-year old girl that she cared dearly about. While she had been with a woman at Billy's work party, it wasn't the least bit romantic or intoxicating. Kissing Kayla was different. She enjoyed it and wanted more herself though she wasn't sure she should for many reasons. The main two was she taking advantage of a young girl, and did she find women sexually attractive or desirable since she had been straight all her life. At this moment it didn't matter. One little kiss had made her feel something she hadn't before. Her defenses and reasoning powers were being overruled by her physical desires. She leaned back pulling Kayla into her, kissing her now without any reservations at all.
The two kissed and moaned into each other's mouths as the kissing became more intense. Their tongues were working hard to keep up with the others. It seemed neither was thinking how this was going to affect their relationship and frankly they didn't care. Kayla had wrapped her arm around Rose Marie just under her arm and was pulling Rose Marie into her kiss. She loved the feel of the silk that Rose Marie wore as sleepwear and she let her hand slide from her back to her side then over feeling the swell of her breast on the edge of her palm. Rose Marie didn't flinch and seemed to relax to Kayla's touch. Kayla let her thumb slide over the edge of Rose Marie's breast and across her nipple, sending shivers through Rose Marie.
Rose Marie moaned, kissing Kayla harder if that was possible. Kayla let her thumb move back and forth across Rose Marie's nipple, feeling it harden as she did. Rose Marie was now arching her chest up to keep contact with Kayla's hand. They had to break the kiss to catch their breath. As they did, they put their foreheads together, staring into each other's eyes. Nothing was said and the only movement was Kayla's thumb running over Rose Marie's breast.
"Let's go to bed," Rose Marie finally said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you in an awkward position," Kayla said trying to pull away from Rose Marie, thinking she had crossed the line.
"You didn't and I meant to my bed," Rose Marie said smiling at Kayla. She placed her finger on Kayla's lips running them over her lips.
Kayla smiled and kissed Rose Marie's finger before getting up from the couch. She put her hand out for Rose Marie who took it. After standing up, she led Kayla into her bedroom. After they were in the bedroom, Rose Marie turned on the light on her nightstand. It had a dimmer switch which Rose Marie turned on low. She pulled the covers back, getting in bed and moving over and holding her hand out for Kayla who was standing on the edge of the bed, wondering if this was for real.
Her body didn't give her mind time to decide before moving over and getting in bed next to Rose Marie. They began to kiss again wrapping their arms around each other as they lay on their sides facing each other. The kissing became more intense with their tongues matching each other and taking turns sucking the other's tongue into their mouths. Kayla let her hand again move over across the silk nightie that Rose Marie was wearing, feeling her round breast with a hard nipple now in her palm. She lightly squeezed it causing Rose Marie to gasped moaning Kayla's name.
Kayla made the next move being bolder pushing Rose Marie onto her back following her lying partially on top of Rose Marie. Her leg moved between the legs of Rose Marie who spread her legs out wider allowing Kayla's leg to easily fit between hers. As they kissed and Kayla continued to squeeze and run her fingers over Rose Marie's breast, Rose Marie pulled on Kayla's t-shirt trying to pull it up. Kayla arched up, allowing Rose Marie to pull it all the way up and over her head, leaving her with only her panties on.
Rose Marie's hand ran across Kayla's bare back and sides and she brought one hand in between them so she could cup Kayla's breast with her hand causing Kayla to moan into Rose Marie's mouth. Kayla began to rub her pussy against the leg of Rose Marie and with the same motion her one leg was making contact with Rose Marie's pussy. Both were feeling the intensity increase and their breathing became more rapid. Kayla broke the kiss to catch her breath, but continued to rock her hips, leg and pussy into Rose Marie. She pulled her head back to look into Rose Marie's eyes and seeing a beautiful woman with lust and love looking back at her. She took her hands to each side of Rose Marie's face and leaned back down kissing Rose Marie.
They both moaned with the pleasure and the feeling of holding each other, making love and kissing each other passionately. Rose Marie could feel Kayla's wetness on her leg as Kayla continued to rub her pussy on it and her hand went down to Kayla's bum, squeezing it first, next pushing it down harder into her leg. Kayla's arousal was heightened by this action and she moaned and ground her hip and pussy harder and faster into Rose Marie.
Rose Marie took her hand and slipped it under Kayla's panties so she could feel Kayla's skin as she kept pushing Kayla down onto her leg. All this plus the initial excitement of being together was too much for Kayla and her orgasm rose quickly, hitting her before she was ready and she cried out, "Oh god, aghhh!" She came hard and Rose Marie could feel the warm juices coating her leg where Kayla's pussy was making contact with her.
Kayla collapsed on top of Rose Marie panting hard. Rose Marie just held her in her arms thinking how lucky she was to have someone like Kayla with her. Kayla after several minutes, her breathing having returned to almost normal, rose up and looked down at Rose Marie. Many thoughts were running through her mind. The one that took control was how beautiful she thought Rose Marie was. All she wanted right now was to please her in every way she could think of. She smiled at Rose Marie then leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. She then almost sat up, taking the bottom of Rose Marie's nightie, pushing it up to get it off of Rose Marie. She then looked at the almost naked body below her and she leaned back down and kissed Rose Marie again this time more passionately. She brought her hand around to cup Rose Marie's breast feeling how wonderful it felt with no clothes between her hand and her breasts. Rose Marie moaned into Kayla's kiss from the touch. Kayla broke the kiss but not the contact, kissing Rose Marie's cheek, chin, and her neck. Apparently Rose Marie liked this because she gasped when Kayla kissed her there and she moved her head to allow Kayla more access to her neck.
Kayla kept kissing lower, going from the neck to the shoulder then the upper chest of Rose Marie. She kept moving lower until Kayla was kissing the upper swell of Rose Marie's breast. Kayla then took her hand cupping Rose Marie's breast from the underside, pushing it up slightly, kissing the nipple before sucking the breast into her mouth. Rose Marie gasped and arched her chest up moaning, "Oh god, Kayla. Oh my god!"
Kayla released the breast with her hands moving them down Rose Marie's stomach to the top of her panties. Her finger slipped inside the waistband and over the top of Rose Marie's bare mons. Rose Marie was moaning and gasping at Kayla's touch. Kayla's fingers slid down and over the lips and slit of Rose Marie feeling how wet and aroused she was. As she brought her fingers back up she used two fingers to part the lips of Rose Marie and slide up her pussy until she reached Rose Marie's clit. Rose Marie's whole body shook from a mild orgasm and from the wonderful sensation that she was feeling.
Kayla removed the panties completely bringing her hands back up to Rose Marie's pussy, and sliding her fingers over the opening and up over her clit. Rose Marie gasped and moaned pleading for more. Kayla stopped sucking on Rose Marie's breast and raised herself up onto her arm so she could look down at Rose Marie's whole body. She watched as she brought her fingers back down over Rose Marie's lips, then back up but this time she slid two fingers inside of Rose Marie, feeling how wet and warm she was. Kayla looked back up at Rose Marie's face to see her looking at her. She returned the smile and at the same time using her fingers, pushing in and out of Rose Marie's pussy. Rose Marie and Kayla didn't break eye contact as Kayla kept finger fucking Rose Marie. They looked at each other and their eyes told of a beautiful love between two young women, who were more like sisters than lovers, but knew what the other needed tonight. Kayla kept pumping her fingers in and out of Rose Marie until she finally jerked, grabbing a hold of Kayla's arm by her side and arching her hips up, "Oh, fuck, Kayla, I'm cumming, awwww!"
Kayla kept pumping Rose Marie never breaking eye contact until she saw Rose Marie's eyes close. Her body began to go limp when Kayla slowed her movement down. She pulled her fingers out, rubbing them lightly over the outer lips and mons of Rose Marie, spreading her juices around. She then brought her fingers to her mouth and proceeded to lick them clean.
Rose Marie lay there after her big climax catching her breath. She opened her eyes to see Kayla licking her fingers. She took Kayla's fingers, placing them in her mouth. Kayla looking at Rose Marie ran her fingers across Rose Marie's lips leaning down and kissed her gently but lovingly on the lips. They both lay there for a few minutes with hands caressing the other, looking into each other's eyes but not saying a word.
Rose Marie was the first to make any overtly sexual contact when she took her hand and placed it between Kayla's legs feeling her wet panties and easily able to part Kayla's pussy lips with her fingers.
"Take them off. I want to taste you," Rose Marie whispered to Kayla.
Kayla quickly removed her panties whispering back to Rose Marie, "I want you at the same time." She then moved herself so they each were facing the other's pussy while they were lying on their sides. They each lifted their top leg placing their foot on the bed, allowing the other to move their face between each other's leg. Kayla looked at the beautiful pussy before her, seeing the juices still spread around, she licked the sides of Rose Marie's pussy, mons and legs cleaning and getting a preview of what Kayla was aiming for which was now waiting for her.
Rose Marie being in relatively new ground, looked at Kayla's pussy that appeared to have been very recently shaved and wondered if Kayla had anticipated this happening. It didn't matter to her right now because for the first time in her life she wanted to kiss, make love to, and taste another woman's pussy and Kayla was the only one she wanted to do this with. Any reservations she had about being with a woman or worse, taking advantage of Kayla, were gone because she could feel Kayla's mouth on her pussy and she wanted so much to have Kayla. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth, sticking her tongue out and licking Kayla from the top of her pussy to the bottom enjoying not only the feeling but the taste as well.
The two seemed to be perfect for each other as they licked and sucked on each other's pussy and clit, knowing when to back off because of it being too intense and to delay the orgasm for as long as possible. They moaned and continued to follow each other's lead getting closer and closer to no return. Kayla latched onto Rose Marie's clit, sucking it into her mouth and twirling her tongue around it, sending shivers through Rose Marie. Rose Marie latched onto Kayla's clit doing the same thing to her. Before they could back off, they both reached their peak at the same time. They both jerked and moaned but still sucked hard on the other bringing both to a hard and consuming orgasm.
When they finally could breathe Kayla released her mouth and returned to lying next to Rose Marie, facing her. Both of their chins and cheeks were soaked from the other juices. That didn't matter as they embraced and kissed each other's lips, chin and cheeks savoring in the flavor of their own juices. They lay there for a few minutes caressing the other's cheeks, necks and shoulders before Kayla leaned back behind her turning out the light completely and they pulled the covers up, finally going to sleep.
The next morning was a Saturday so neither had to get up to go to work. They awoke though to the noise of Jake playing in his room. They rolled over to face each other not saying a word but kissing each other on the lips. As the kissing became more intense Rose Marie broke the kiss.
"I need to get up to change Jake and fix his breakfast. Do you want to help me?"
"Yeah, sure," Kayla replied and got out of bed finding her panties and slipping them on plus her t-shirt.
Rose Marie had fixed everyone's breakfast while Kayla changed Jake and got him dressed. She brought him out so he could eat. While Rose Marie was feeding Jake she turned to Kayla.
"We need to talk about last night Kayla."
"I figured you would want to say something about it because I do too. Since you brought it up first, why don't you say what you want to say about it."
"I really don't know how to say this without possibly hurting your feelings, but I'm sorry for letting last night happen. I never should have taken advantage of you in your vulnerable state and I could never forgive myself for breaking the trust we have in our relationship."
"Before I respond to you and tell you what I was going to say can I ask you a question?" Kayla asked.
"You know you can and you know I will answer you the best I can."
"Did you enjoy what we did last night?"
Rose Marie thought before she answered and it was a few minutes before she did. "Yes, I did. More than you can know. But that is not the point. It never should have happened because I was taking advantage of you and crossed a line in our relationship that should not have been crossed.
"Do you love me?" Kayla asked.
"Kayla, I have loved you for many years but loving you and being in love with you are two different things and I'm not sure I can answer if I am in love with you."
"Okay, fair enough. Let me tell you how I feel. I think you will see that we have something that few if any have. First you didn't take advantage of me. If anything, I took advantage of you. I love you too Rose Marie with all my heart, but like you, I'm not sure I'm in love with you. That I believe still belongs to Alexis and in time I'm sure I will get past that. Last night I wanted it to happen. I have for a long time long before Alexis ever came into my life. I told you previously I was into girls. And really what I was into was you. The situation never arose, but last night seemed the right time, so I took a chance. You are like a sister to me. I know that sounds weird that I would want to have sex with my sister, but I did. I needed to have the comfort, closeness, and sexual release from everything that has been happening and I wanted you to be the one I was with. Plus I could see you were having similar feelings, but you were afraid to say or do anything. You are older than I am, you felt like I was part of your family, my attorney, not to mention you haven't really been intimate with a woman before."
Kayla continued, "For what it's worth I do not regret anything that has happened and would like for it to continue. I think we are good for each other and that the closeness will make our relationship even stronger. Until the time we find that special person in our life who takes our heart, I don't see any reason we can't continue to make love and have the intimacy we both long for and need. If not then I still don't regret last night, and will always remember it as a special moment between two very close friends."
"Kayla, I don't know what to say. Just when I think you are so much younger and need adult guidance you come up with such deep reasoning that just blows me away. That was perfectly said and I know how you feel. Come here."
Kayla walked over to Rose Marie who wrapped her arms around her then took Kayla by the cheeks and kissed her very passionately. "I think our relationship is like you said. Not many if any could have a relationship like this and I do want it to continue. Last night was the most passionate and most intense orgasm I have ever experienced and it was because of you."
About this time Rose Marie felt a little tyke grab her leg and squeeze. "I want some too," squealed Jake.
"I think someone is feeling left out, laughed Kayla.
"No, we aren't leaving you out," Rose Marie said in her baby talk tone while leaning down and picking Jake up. Both Kayla and Rose Marie kissed on Jake to the point he was giggling and turning away from their kisses.
A little over two weeks passed and no more money had been taken out of Alexis's account. Kayla and Rose Marie were over at Ella's talking about Alexis. It was obvious the stress that was placed on Ella was taking its toll as her eyes looked withdrawn. She also had been having trouble sleeping and eating right. Kayla was talking to her trying to see if maybe it was best if they all moved in together to keep each other company and watch over Ella.
"No, I don't want to leave this house in case she comes back. If I leave then she won't know where to go. And there isn't enough room for all of you here without someone sleeping on the floor or sofa and you two can't do that," Ella told them.
The mailman came and in this town, mailboxes were still attached to the house, so Rose Marie retrieved the mail handing it to Ella. Ella went through the mail finding a letter she recognized was in Alexis's handwriting.
"Oh my god," she said trying to open the letter with her hands shaking. "It's from Alexis."
Everyone's attention was fully on Ella as she tried to open the letter. Finally Kayla opened it for her, handing it back to Ella to read it out loud.
Dear Ella,
By now you know I am gone. You probably knew that day, but didn't know where I was. If you looked in my closet you saw many of my clothes were gone too as I had planned this for some time with the help of a friend at school, who I will not name. And no, it wasn't one of those boys as I know now I can't trust them.
First let me say I am alright. You do not have to worry about me as I know how to survive on my own and trust no one. The difference now is I have money, so I won't have to suffer like I did before. Thank you, Rose Marie and especially Kayla for all of that.
For some time I have felt lost. I haven't been able to figure out what I can believe in, who I can trust or what it is that is missing in my life. But I have to find it and I couldn't do it living there.
I know you have probably contacted the police and that is one reason I am writing this letter to you to let you know I am ok. I left it with a friend to mail after a few weeks so you wouldn't be able to find me. I wish I could tell you I will be back, but I can't. Until I know what is missing in my life, I cannot stay in one place long. Please don't attempt to find me. If I am found and brought back I will only run away again until you no longer look for me.
For all that you have done for me, I do love you and thank you. Please tell Rose Marie that I love her too and thank her for everything she has done for me too.
I can't say goodbye without mentioning Kayla. Tell her our time together, I may never have with anyone else. She is truly a beautiful and loving girl, and I know I do love her though I told her I didn't. In fact I love her and miss her dearly. I had to turn her away because I have to find what is missing and I couldn't do it with her by my side. She is better off without me anyway as I am a broken girl who betrayed her trust and love, and she has every right to hate me and forget about me. I however, will never forget her. She may already know I took one of her necklaces with me to remember her by.
This will be the last letter I write to you. Thank you all for what you have done for me and I hope you will all take care and continue to be the loving and caring people I knew you to be.
Love, Alexis
Ella put the letter down and the tears flowed from her eyes as they did from all three.
"At least we know now she did this voluntarily and wasn't forced to leave," Rose Marie said.
Kayla got up and went into her old bedroom. A few minutes later she came out. "She did take several outfits and things. Plus I know the necklace she took. It has a heart pendant on the end that opens so you can put a picture inside. I also found where she cut the picture of the two of us when we went to the fair for my birthday. She probably put it in the locket."
Kayla picked up the envelope and looked at it. "This was not mailed from a local post office. It was mailed from south Alabama a few days ago. Unless her friend is down there, I think Alexis may have mailed this herself."
"She said she left it with a friend. Do you think she is trying to throw us off from looking for her down south?" Ella asked.
"I don't know. Until she runs low on money and makes another withdrawal we won't have any idea what direction she went in. With what she had on her and the way she can get by it may be months before she withdraws anymore money. She can buy a bedroll and one-person tent and eat plenty without buying food at restaurants for a very long time. And we know she knows how to blend in with the homeless, so she can hide among them and get by," Kayla said mostly thinking out loud.
"Let's hope this was mailed by her because that would mean up until two days ago she was alright, and not having any problems. We'll continue to monitor her bank account for any activity which should tell us more in time," Rose Marie added.
Another month went by and it turned cold. She and Rose Marie were getting along fine. They slept together since that first night, making love two to three times a week. Their relationship of close friends to sister, now to lovers was getting deeper, and the love between them seemed to be growing stronger too. At the rate they were going it wasn't inconceivable that they would soon realize they were not just lovers, but in love with each other. The age difference no longer mattered to Rose Marie. She actually relished in the fact that she had an eighteen-year-old girlfriend and lover. The only thing holding her back was the same thing holding Kayla back. In one word it was "Alexis."
The cold weather also brought memories back to Kayla to when she first met Alexis living in the homeless camp. As much as she tried Kayla couldn't stop thinking about Alexis. Kayla was still in love with Alexis. Kayla knew it and Rose Marie knew it. Kayla wouldn't allow herself or couldn't fall hopelessly in love with Rose Marie even though she knew she was beginning to feel that way, because she was still in love with Alexis.
Rose Marie knew how Kayla felt and though she knew in her heart she really loved Kayla she also knew there was not enough room for her in Kayla's heart until Kayla gave up on Alexis. Therefore Rose Marie knew she shouldn't allow herself to become completely absorbed with Kayla.
Their relationship status that Kayla laid out after their first night together seemed to be all the more it would be, and both seemed to be happy with that status. To any one on the outside though it was obvious the love they had for each other which brought up another problem. Billy had figured it out too and though not intentionally, he mentioned it to one of the attorneys in the law firm where Rose Marie worked.
Though the law firm knew they could not discriminate they began to make it very hard on Rose Marie at work trying to get her to resign. The pressure they were putting on her was causing her to work more hours which meant less time with Kayla but also less time with Jake. Kayla, of course, stepped up and was there for Jake picking him up from day care, making sure everything around the house was done so Rose Marie didn't have to come home to more work. Kayla had cut back her hours at the hospital to be more available, still managing to bring in the stuffed animals each week to all the new kids in the hospital.
With the onset of winter and the cold it brought, it so brought the sniffles and illness that came in the winter months. Colds and sniffles were passed around between Kayla, Rose Marie and Jake. Kayla had gone over to visit Ella one day to be sure she was doing okay. The first thing she noticed was how Ella had seemed to age and how she didn't seem to be moving as fast or as strong as she had been.
"Ella, are you sure you are feeling alright? You looked a little peaked?" Kayla asked.
"Actually Kayla, I haven't been quite the same for a while. I don't' know what it is but I just can't seem to shake it."
"Have you been to the doctor?"
"No, I haven't. I guess I should, but I keep thinking it will go away."
"Would you like me to call for an appointment for you? You know I would be more than happy to go with you."
"If you wouldn't mind, I would like for you to go." Ella walked over to the drawer in the kitchen where she kept papers and phone numbers she used. "Here's my doctor's card. Any time is good for me so whenever you are free then make it for then."
Kayla called Ella's doctor and it so happened he had a cancellation for the next day at nine in the morning. The next day Kayla drove Ella to the doctor's office. Once they were in the examination room the doctor came in to see them.
"Hello, Momma Reardon, how are you doing? I haven't seen you in a long time?" Dr. Ellis asked.
"Well Dr. Bradley, (the nickname Ella called Dr. Bradley Ellis who she had known since he was five years old) I've been doing alright, except lately I can't seem to shrug this whatever I have. It has taken all my energy away and is making me feel old."
"Well let's check you out and see what's been going on."
Dr. Ellis checked her heart, lungs and reflexes, looking into her eyes, throat and ears. He told the nurse he wanted blood work done.
After a period of time waiting for the blood work to be done and analyzed, the doctor came back into the room.
"Have you been under a lot of stress lately?"
While Ella told the doctor no, Kayla was off to the side nodding her head. Dr. Ellis saw this and asked the nurse to take Ella down to the lab and to check her blood pressure once they were there. Then walk her back. The nurse knew why the doctor was asking her to do this, so she took her time walking Ella down to the lab.
"So what is going on that she won't tell me?" Dr. Ellis asked Kayla.
"Several months back a girl she has guardianship of, ran away and we haven't been able to find her. I think Ella is really worried about her and blames herself for failing her," Kayla told the doc.
"She is a remarkable woman and becomes very attached to her wards. I assume she is your guardian too?"
"Yes, she took me in when my parents were killed in a plane crash several years ago. Then Alexis came along and Ella took her in at my insistence, but she ran away again."
"Well, Ella won't take credit for her successes, but she will shoulder the blame for what she sees as her failures. I know. She was my guardian way back when too. It's because of her I am a doctor."
"That explains why you called her Momma. I thought I was the first one. I didn't know she had others," Kayla said.
"No, I was her first until I was adopted after a few years with her. She took on a few others over the years, but they all were adopted, so she stopped taking on others for a while. I think it was too hard on her to let go of us at such a young age. Anyway, I think she is okay except the stress is getting to her. Her iron count is way low and her blood pressure is higher than I want it to be. I'm going to give her a prescription for blood pressure medicine for the short run. I want her to take iron supplements for a while too and let's see if that doesn't work. If not I want her back in here in two months and I may have her go to a cardiologist to get his opinion just as a precaution. It would help if she had some other hobby to keep her busy too. It would take her mind off of this girl who ran away."
It wasn't long after Kayla and the doctor talked that Ella came back in the examination room. Dr. Ellis told her about her blood pressure and iron count and what he wanted her to do. He hugged Ella and told her it was good to see her again.
That night Kayla talked with Rose Marie about Ella and what she was going through.
"She is really taking it hard about Alexis. I don't know if she blames herself for Alexis leaving or she is just worried about her well being, but whatever it is, it is affecting her health. I'm really worried about her," Kayla told Rose Marie.
"We should spend more time going over to see her and include her in things. Maybe take her out to eat or go shopping one weekend just to keep her moving and not sitting there alone. I think all of us could use the distraction. We all have worries about Alexis and I think we need to keep each other occupied, so our thoughts don't get us down," Rose Marie told Kayla.
"I think you are right. We should include her in more of what we do. Maybe tomorrow I'll bring her over here for dinner," Kayla said thinking out loud. "Do you see me worrying about Alexis?"
"Yes, I do. Not always worrying as much as lost in thought. Sometimes when we make love I wonder if you are making love to me or to Alexis. One time I thought I heard you say her name when you came, but you had your hand in your mouth, so it wasn't clear what you said."
"Oh my god, Rose Marie," Kayla said and got up going over to where Rose Marie was sitting and wrapped her arms around her hugging her. "I'm so sorry if I said that or you think I did. When I'm with you, you are all I think about. Making love to you is like pure magic and you take me places I've never been before. I love you so much Rose Marie, and even if Alexis was here I would love you the same and want to make love to you. Please forgive me."
"There is nothing to forgive, my love. I love you too, and you give me so much pleasure and love that I have never experienced before. I wouldn't trade our situation for any other," Rose Marie told Kayla looking into her eyes and lips. She placed her fingers on Kayla's lips and softly ran them across from one side to the other while Kayla lightly kissed them.
"Would you like to make love to me?" Rose Marie softly said as her fingers still were against Kayla's lips.
"I can't think of anything I would rather be doing than to make love to you," Kayla whispered back and pulled Rose Marie up taking her into the bedroom.
Once inside, they took turns taking the other's clothes off, making it very slow and sensual as they did, to bring out the eroticism. Once they were both naked and standing by the bed, they closed the space between them and Kayla wrapped her arms around Rose Marie's shoulders while Rose Marie placed hers around Kayla's back. They hugged and kissed with much intensity, showing the love they had for each other. There was no need to hurry because this wasn't about the sex, but about showing love and caring. They each took turns kissing the other on the cheeks, neck and shoulders, not missing the hands and fingers. Kayla got down on her knees, kissing Rose Marie on her thighs and inner legs telling her to sit on the bed. As Rose Marie sat Kayla took her leg pulling it up and kissing it from the knee down the calf and to the foot. She kissed her toes, each and everyone, then the top and the bottom of her foot before going to the other leg and doing the same thing. All the time she was looking up at Rose Marie whose eyes were fixed on what Kayla was doing.
After Kayla finished kissing Rose Marie's feet, she kissed her way up her legs, spreading them out so she could kiss the inner thighs. She moved closer and closer to Rose Marie's pussy. Getting closer she could already she Rose Marie was very wet as her lips had flared out a little, and they were shiny from being wet. She could also smell her arousal which only turned Kayla on more. She kept kissing until she was close enough that there was no other spot she could kiss except right on Rose Marie's pussy. Kayla looked at it for a second then gently kissed Rose Marie's hood which already was receding exposing her clit. When she kissed her, Rose Marie gasped pulling her legs up in the air trying to place her feet on the bed but trying to stay seated, watching Kayla at the same time. Kayla seeing what she was trying to do, placed her hands on each of Rose Marie's legs under the knee, holding them up and out while she began to kiss more of Rose Marie's pussy. She stuck her tongue out and licked from just above her rosebud up through her slit and stopped when she got to Rose Marie's clit.
This sent a shock wave through Rose Marie who moaned out Kayla's name and fell back on the bed. Kayla put Rose Marie's feet on the bed releasing her hold under the knees and placed her hands on each side of Rose Marie's pussy lips holding them open for her tongue to get better access. She began a slow but continuous tongue fuck of Rose Marie, who by now with her chest was rising and falling, was moaning Kayla's name.
Because of the slow seduction they had gone to and the erotic method Kayla had used on Rose Marie, her orgasm wasn't long from coming. She could feel it rising and was helpless to hold back telling Kayla it was coming.
"OH God, Kayla, yes! I'm going to cum! I can't stop it, oh fuck, AWwwwhhhh!" Rose Marie's whole body shuddered as she came and she grabbed Kayla's head with both of her hands, holding it down to her pussy as she came. She arched her waist at the same time and kept pumping it up and down until she could take no more. She didn't realize but Kayla had brought her to back to back orgasms and it wasn't until her third that Kayla slowed her pace pulling her tongue out and kissing Rose Marie's pussy and clit, lapping up all the juices and cum that had seeped out of Rose Marie.
She stood up and leaned over Rose Marie lying on the bed kissing her on the lips before Rose Marie opened her mouth accepting Kayla's eager awaiting tongue. They kissed for a few minutes before breaking the kiss. Kayla looked down at Rose Marie, "I love you so much."
Rose Marie smiled at Kayla, "Thank you, I needed to hear that. I love you too Kayla. Now come up here and let me please you."
Kayla crawled up on the bed straddling Rose Marie until she had her pussy and butt over top of Rose Marie's head. She felt Rose Marie's hands on her waist and butt pulling her down towards Rose Marie's waiting mouth. Kayla lowered herself down looking down at Rose Marie. Once she felt Rose Marie's tongue on her, she sighed, then gasped at the wonderful feeling she was receiving.
Rose Marie licked Kayla from below her pussy up through the folds of her pussy to her clit, then back down making sure she included the perineum which drove Kayla wild when licked. She let her tongue glide over Kayla's rosebud sending even stronger shock waves through Kayla. Kayla began rocking her hips back and forth across Rose Marie's mouth, getting the full effect of her tongue that seemed to hit every spot just perfect, sending lightning bolts through Kayla. Her breathing rapidly increased as she moaned, "Aww, yes, yes, oh god, oh yes! There, there, oh that feels so good!"
Kayla was dripping with juices and was soaking Rose Marie's chin and cheeks, with it running down the side of Rose Marie's face to the sheets on the bed. Rose Marie was moaning too, as she had found her calling and loved having Kayla sit on her face. She pushed her tongue deep into Kayla feeling the warmth inside of her, then licked her way down again until she reached Kayla's rosebud. She licked it pushing her tongue slightly into it which came at the wrong time, or shall we say the right time for Kayla, who had desperately been trying to keep from cumming. Feeling Rose Marie's tongue on her ass sent her over the edge leaving her no option but to cum and cum hard on Rose Marie.
She moaned, "Oh fuck!" Then just moans and sounds came from her mouth as she pushed her hips down forcing her ass and pussy onto Rose Marie as she came.
Rose Marie, for a minute, had to hold her breath because Kayla was pushing down so hard on her face. Kayla moved just enough for her to breathe again, and she was able to lick more juices flowing from Kayla before Kayla leaned forward, falling onto the bed and off of Rose Marie.
Rose Marie moved up onto the bed next to Kayla running her hand through her hair and kissed her on the lips as Kayla lay there, totally spent and exhausted. "You came pretty hard there, girl. Are you okay?" she asked Kayla.
Kayla smiled and replied softly, "That was by far the best and most erotic we have ever been together. I felt that orgasm through every bit of my body. I thought I was going to explode from within it was so powerful."
"It really was erotic. I think all our other times we made love we were having sex and it was a release between close friends. This time we didn't have sex but made love with what we were feeling about each other. It came from inside us and we were able to bring the love we have out of each other. I can't tell you we will be together forever because one of us may find love with someone else. But I can tell you as long as we are together I hope we keep showing this love we have for each other."
"I do too," Kayla said as she leaned in kissing Rose Marie.
Another couple of months went by and Rose Marie and Kayla continued to strengthen. They also had been spending more time with Ella keeping an eye on her. Ella's health while somewhat improved wasn't where it was supposed to be and the doctor sent her to a cardiologist to run some test.
Rose Marie's work situation had greatly deteriorated making life for her away from home unbearable. As much as they tried to keep this from Ella she knew how bad things were which added to her stress too. The day before Ella was to see the cardiologist they were sitting around the kitchen table.
"Why don't you set yourself up in private practice?" Ella asked.
"It's not that easy, Ella. I would need to have a base of clients to follow me or I would be setting up a practice without any income at all. Plus it cost money to set up your own practice which I don't have right now. Then there are the added hours to keep a new practice open and get it running well. Now just doesn't seem to be the right time for that," she told Ella.
"Money is not an issue," Kayla told her. "You know I would fund you getting started, so scratch that off your list of excuses. I agree with Ella on this one. I think you should. If nothing else do it for your own peace and sanity. You know we will all help you get it started and I could be your secretary and receptionist. I don't have to work at the hospital. I only do that for the kids and I can still go in once a week to spend time with them."
"Let me think about it. It would be nice if I had someone to be a partner with. Having two attorneys together is a big plus for appearance and for resources. There's a girl at the same firm and I know she is having a rough time too. Maybe she is having similar feeling and knowing I am willing, she might too."
The next day Kayla took Ella to the cardiologist. They did several test and blood work. The doctor gave her a heart monitor to wear for twenty-four hours and sent her home. He made an appointment for her in two weeks once they had time to review the test, including the heart monitor.
Rose Marie had talked to the other lady in her office, Marta Wilcox, as to her feelings of staying with law firm or going out on her own. She apparently had been receiving similar treatments from the partners and other male attorneys as Rose Marie was, and had considered quitting and moving to another area to work. She seemed receptive to the idea of partnering with Rose Marie and over the next month they got together and discuss the logistics, legal and financial aspects of breaking away and going out on your own.
Kayla took Ella back to the doctor to get the results of all the testing they had run. Apparently they didn't find anything critical in the test. Ella being up there in age, was just growing old and her heart was no longer capable of doing all the task she had previously been able to do. He told her to slow down and enjoy life. And to get rid of the stress which was the main issue in her test. He told her stress was the hardest thing for the heart to handle, and at her age her heart couldn't handle it as well as when she was younger. She wasn't to the point of needing any medicine for her heart, nor did she need any surgery or pacemaker though if she kept up with the stress a pacemaker might be in her future. This was relief for Kayla, but Kayla knew something was still bothering Ella, and she knew what that one thing was.
Kayla and Rose Marie discussed how to handle Ella's situation and Rose Marie's situation all at the same time. It seemed to be stressful for them too, as Kayla couldn't be what she wanted to be for both at the same time. She needed to spend more time with Ella, less time at the hospital, and yet more time helping Rose Marie with finding office space, making arrangements to buy office furniture, and all the supplies and materials Rose Marie would need to venture on her own.
A decision had to be made and Kayla decided that she would have to make most of the hard decisions herself. She resigned from the hospital completely and began looking full time for office space that could accommodate up to two law partners. The space had to be convenient to downtown and the court house. It should be visible and modern to attract new clients yet not overly expensive as Rose Marie's client base would not be extensive or income producing for some time.
She found what she thought to be a perfect fit. It was a multiple story older building that was vacant close to downtown and many local popular restaurants but not in the high-rise area that demanded high rents. It was also close to the hospital where Kayla had worked. She approached the landlord finding he was more interested in selling than renting space unless he could get enough tenants to rent. It was zoned for multi use so it could be anything from apartments to business to retail stores.
Kayla's mind began working as she debated if this was the right place or not. Her original thought was to purchase the building, converting the first floor into retail with possibly a deli and some small clothing or service industry stores. The second floor could be converted into a gym or office space for many types of business or even doctor's offices. The third floor would be exclusively for Rose Marie to have as her office space, conference room and law library. If needed they could divide the space in half leasing out the other half to another small law firms.
That night Kayla brought the subject up to Rose Marie.
"If we can remodel the building it would be more attractive to other businesses. We could lease out the first two floors and the third would be for you. The leased area would then pay for the remodeling and eventually for the cost of purchasing the building thus making your space free and not cost anything."
"I don't know, Kayla," Rose Marie said. "It sounds very risky and there are too many variables involved where something could go wrong and you would be left with the bill. I really wish you would find a place already remodeled and just for lease. That way if going out on my own doesn't work out we are only out the lease amount."
"I know there are but I am willing to absorb the risk. Other than my father's business this would be the first time I owned something and could make a go with it. You saw what I did with his business. I know I can make this work given the chance. Not only would it be a challenge but it would be fun too and in the end I'm sure rewarding. With my allowance as it is plus the invested savings from the allowance I don't spend, I have enough to purchase and remodel and not even touch my trust fund. All that money is just sitting there and I have nothing to spend it on until now."
"Let me think about it. I don't like you are taking all the risk and I am not able to contribute to this," Rose Marie told her.
"You are contributing to it. You will have a say in all the decisions about remodeling. You will have full say in your space. When we lease out space you will be there to decide who we lease out plus you will be doing all the legal work on everything. I only provide the money and some input. You will be doing the bull of the work."
"Let me think about it."
It was a good plan but there were many variables. If they didn't fall into place they would be very costly, such as first the cost of the building, and second the cost of remodeling and third finding tenants for the building.
Rose Marie didn't like the idea that Kayla was taking all the risk and asked Kayla to keep looking to see if a better place came up that wouldn't be so risky. Kayla tried to convince her that she was more than willing. The more she thought about it the more she was getting enthusiastic about owning the building and leasing out space but Rose Marie insisted Kayla keep looking.
Kayla kept looking but in her mind she wanted the building. She began negotiating with the owner. During this negotiation, she found out the owner also owned the building next to this one, which consistent of eight apartments, four on each floor. After two months of negotiating she was able to get the owner down to a price she thought was more than reasonable, and below market value as it had been vacant for almost a year. The owner agreed on one condition. He wanted Kayla to purchase the apartment building next door. He had been losing money on it for some time. Kayla agreed seeing more potential for income.
The next step was to convince Rose Marie of what she was going to do. The best way for her to do this was to take Rose Marie to the building, show her around telling her what they would do with the building and how it could work. After touring the building, Kayla could see Rose Marie while hesitant, was also excited for what it could be. She finally got her to agree to let Kayla do this for her.
The plan was set and Rose Marie had her office space. Before she could move in it would require extensive remodeling. She was ecstatic yet scared. She knew that Kayla had the money and ability to make it happen. Even if it didn't, Kayla would be able to sell the building and possibly make some money on the sale. Being Kayla's attorney, she signed the paperwork to purchase the building since Kayla was still a minor for this type of transaction.
Ella's health did not improve much and both Rose Marie and Kayla's effort to get Ella's mind to let go of her stress wasn't working. Next week would be Kayla's nineteenth birthday and it brought memories back to Kayla.
She remembered it was last year she first kissed Alexis at the fair. Their relationship seemed to blossom after that until the trust issue came up. Even Rose Marie making love to her on her birthday couldn't shake Kayla from thinking back to the previous year.
"I know you still love her," Rose Marie said as they cuddled in bed after making love.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin tonight or what we have together but I can't shake her from my feelings. It doesn't mean I don't love you or how much you mean to me."
"I know honey. We've already discussed this many times. You and Alexis have something really special that no one else can come between regardless of the distance apart. It doesn't mean I don't love you either. We both know our love is different and what we have she can't come between. Right now is our time. Maybe in the future it will be hers and your time and I'll have someone else too. But right now it's you and me."
Kayla didn't respond as she knew Rose Marie was right. She loved her more than anything except Alexis, and even if she and Alexis were together, she would still love Rose Marie just as much. She pulled Rose Marie to her and kissed her passionately on the lips rolling on top of her with the intention of making Rose Marie cum one more time.
It had been several months since Alexis had run away and her sixteenth birthday was approaching. Kayla hadn't checked the bank statements in a while since there hadn't been any activity on them since Alexis left. She wondered if there ever would be any activity again as there was close to three thousand dollars back in her account from the earnings from her estate.
She opened her laptop putting in the necessary passwords to get into Alexis account and low and behold a withdrawal had been made of five hundred dollars two days before. Kayla wrote down the account numbers from the withdrawal, and using her secret way to finding the location was able to learn the bank was in a town in Florida. She quickly used her laptop to look up where the town was and found it to be located in the panhandle of Florida on the ocean. It apparently was a tourist location as it showed many resorts and hotels along the beachfront.
If this was in fact Alexis, then she had a location for her. Now it was decision time. Did she go to the area and try to find her or not? Should she tell Ella or should she not? What about the police? She called Rose Marie to discuss with her what she should do.
"What does your heart tell you, Kayla?"
"My heart says go find her. My mind says not so fast. She might not want to be found and finding her would be like looking in a haystack for a needle."
"Can you live with yourself if you don't try to go find her?" Will you ever be able to release her from your heart if you don't make an attempt?"
"I don't think I can. She may push me away and tell me leave her alone. If she does then I know it is over and I can put her out of my mind and heart for ever. If I don't go then I don't think I can forget thinking about her."
"Then do what you have to do honey. If it means I lose you then I do. We knew this time would come and while it isn't any easier to take, I know where you need to be."
"Let me think about it. I'll see you tonight and we can talk more. I'm not going to rush out to go find her. She may already be gone by now anyway. Besides I'm meeting with the architect today about what our plans are for the office space."
Rose Marie and Kayla discussed it that night and thought it would be best not to say anything to Ella until they had more information. They also discussed the meeting Kayla had with the architect and he would have his plans to them within a few weeks with the estimates on remodeling the space for Rose Marie and the rest of the building as two separate projects.
Kayla already had three interested tenants who were considering leasing retail space in the building. She hoped they would commit and decide on plans before the architect finished his drawings. She kept thinking the timing of all this was not good because she was so involved with the building. She wasn't sure she could run off to Florida on a chase for Alexis who didn't want to be found.
Then an idea came to her and one she had never thought of before but maybe it was time to see if they were sincere about helping if she ever needed help. She got in her car and drove to the veteran's association. Once inside she talked with one of the members who after a few minutes remembered Kayla as he had been one of the honor guards at Brian's funeral. She asked if he knew how to contact the biker club that had escorted them to the funeral. She had lost or misplaced the person's name and number he had left with her. The man knew who Kayla was referring to and in the office he pulled out a book with numbers and names written in it. He found what he needed writing it down for Kayla along with the address of the biker's home.
