What Other Secrets?

Chapter four... What?...

It was 4:46 when Lada opened her doors for Ira to come in, Lada hugged her again then looked around her before asking

“where’s Tawan?”

Ira giggled before she replied

“she brought the convertible, you know how she is, she’s parking it in your garage in case it rains. Why’d you get a house with so much space Khong chan? It’s basically a mansion”

Lada smiled in response, remembering how Earn had wanted one with a big backyard for when they had kids. it had taken them weeks to find the property Earn liked, Lada wasn't particular, as long as Earn was in the home, then she was fine. they went through numbers and numbers of homes, Earn had discarded some because of the areas; no good schools around, no parks, the backyards aren't safe. when they eventually gotten to view this one, the doctor had known from the shine in her wife's eyes that, this was the one... they'd ended up in a bidding war for the property... Lada playing a bit dirtily by offering double the price and paying cash to close all bids. it was petty, but they were moved in a week later and planning decorations.

Lada walked her through the house before they settled at the kitchen counter. She was still in her work clothes and excused herself to go change upstairs in her room into something more comfortable for the night.

Ira heard the door open and saw Tawan coming in. approaching her with a cool vibe that cloaked her.

“she seems to have made a feast for us Tawan, she must have missed us a lottt, but son in law eggs?” Ira said as she made a confused face with a smile. Tawan just flashed one of her rare smiles.

“where’s Lada?” Tawan asked, her eyes scanning the area slowly

“oh, she went to change into something more comfortable for dinner, she was in her work clothes.” Ira relayed the information and added

“You should get comfortable too” Ira said hinting at the suit jacket that framed Tawan’s form.

Ira felt slightly calmer, she knew Tawan always felt safer or warmer around Lada, it was a given, so just being in her house seemed to ease the lady. Her eyes were darting around as she took in the living room and dining, as if drawing a mental picture. Ira smiled at her bodyguard’s antics and spoke

“I think I left my phone in the car, I’ll go get it” she moved to head out quickly as she knew that if she wasted a second, her bodyguard would have insisted to go instead. She used the door that Tawan had used that led from the garage to the kitchen to get to the car. Once left alone in the kitchen area, Tawan slowly shed herself of her Jacket and draped it over one of the chairs. She wore a cropped deep blue tank top inside and grey suit pants. She felt her shoulders slowly droop into relaxation and the feeling of being on edge constantly as a bodyguard dropped. The knowledge that she was safe with Lada calmed her.

Earn walked into the house and made her way to the dining area. There with her back faced her way was Lada, something felt a bit off to her though. P’mor’s hair seemed longer than the usual bra length, going down to almost her waist. Her clothes were different, seemed completely off from her usual style with a tank top and grey pants. She shook her head to rid the thoughts, she believed her mind was just trying to play with her as a result of her insecurities. She walked up to the doctor and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind her. She felt Lada stiffen at her touch and couldn’t help the hurt that she felt. She held on a but tighter and rested her head in the crook of Lada’s neck and inhaled expecting to smell the usual comfort scent that is Lada but the scent was completely different. There was no warmth exuding from Lada as she held her, just a cool, distant vibe, almost warning her to let go. She took a breath and told herself to stop creating thoughts and unnecessary dramatic scenes. She pressed a soft kiss to Lada’s neck, a particular pulse she knew affected Lada, and it seemed to have worked, she tilted her head ever so slightly as her breath hitched in her throat. To Earn it seemed like Lada was trying not to react so she took it as a challenge, she placed another kiss behind Lada’s ear before trailing down and lightly sucking on her skin. She turned around when she felt that, and looked at me with confusion and an eye brow raised.

Her stance seemed intimidating, both hands in her pockets, back straight and a look Earn couldn’t quite read on her face. Her hands were still on Lada’s waist so she felt her stiffen when she leaned in again.

“P’mor…” Earn started and stopped when she saw amusement and pity dancing along the doctors’ face. She held back her questions and took it that the doctor was just trying to mess with her. She leaned in close to Lada’s lips, waiting a second to see if Lada would close the distance. When nothing happened, she pressed her lips against the doctors’, lightly. The kiss lasted a few seconds as earn jumped away from Lada when she heard

“EARN!!”.

She looked to where the voice had come from and thought she’d seen a ghost, there at the bottom of the stairs with an angry glare that could melt ice was Lada, her Lada. She was standing there in dark grey joggers, a blue calvin klein sports bra and a white button up shirt that she hadn’t bothered to button.

Earn felt dizzy, there right in front of her eyes were two Lada’s, both with identical moles on their left cheek, one was very pissed off while the other had a small smile playing on her lips.
