"Ding dong," I sighed at the sound of the door bell.

Looking up and behind me I glanced over at the door as I waited for another ring of the door bell, before Finally getting up. I trudged to the door and threw it open ready to snap at whoever was at the door.

I really hated answering the darn thing.

"At last you opened the bloody door!" The blood drained from my face, "I swear Natalia, you are a bit slow."

"I-I'm sorry." my head immediately bowed.

The woman shook her head, "Hurry and grab my bags," she pointed behind her and took off her leather gloves holding them in one hand.

I'm quick to do as she says, rolling in her bag after her. She pushed her sunglasses to her head and her purse laid in the crook of her elbow.

"Where do you want your bags?" I asked in a voice not audible above a whisper.

"My room of course." She stands looking around. Observing.

Her floral perfumes mixed with the new leather of her pants and bag overwhelmed my senses as I rolled her bags up the stairs and into the master bedroom. It did not help that there were two flights of stairs between me and the bedroom.

"Natalia hurry along!" She yelled at me from downstairs.

I attempted to quicken my pace, "Coming!" I push her bags to the top of her floor.

Assuming that's good enough, I made my way back downstairs to find the woman I call mother in the kitchen.

"Nice to see you, daughter."

I bow my head in acknowledgment, "as for you mother."

She smiled at me flashing her perfect pearly whites, "the house seems to have gotten smaller," she looked around as I shook my head.

"No, just as you left it ma'am."

She continues to look around.

"Hum, the kitchen is to small for my liking. I'm going to talk to your father about expanding, and renovating this place."

I shook my head, "But it's just me and River here. It's fine!"

She turned to me and held up a finger.

"It's River and I, don't tell me what to do. I own this house and you!" She waved her perfectly polished finger in my face and I hung my head.

"Yes ma'am."

She nods her head.

"That's more like it, now I'm a bit jet lagged. I'm going up to my room. I'll be up by eight am sharp tomorrow and I suggested you be down here also," with one last look around she turned and walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs her heels hitting the wooden floor with each step making a clanking noise.

I frowned and pulled out my phone.

I grabbed my car keys from upstairs packed a small bag and left, being sure to be ever so quiet. I took the twenty minute drive halfway across town. For once, I was the one showing up on the girls doorsteps.

At last, I parked my car in front of her house and smiled. A small two story house stood before me. It's white with yellow trimming and sunflowers are planted all along the house. All in all it was the perfect dream home. I walked up the front door and knocked.

Seconds later a beautiful blonde was opening the door. She leaned against the door frame and looked at me with a smirk. I smiled showing her my perfectly straight teeth.

"You're going to blind someone with that smile." She was first to speak.

"You already blinded me with those eyes," I searched her face for a reaction.

She moves to the side to let me in, "What are you doing here Natalia?"

"I am here because for the last 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86400 seconds, I have missed you."

She smiles and shakes her head, "Natalia," she said with a sigh, "what are you doing to me?"

"I could say the same thing."

She closed the space between us and pressed her lips against mine and all was good in the world. I loved the feeling of her lips on mine, I love the feeling of being with her, I loved that she could make me feel this way, I think I just loved her. No, I couldn't. I just met her. There is no such thing as love at first sight.

I pull back, "I didn't know angels were allowed to walk on earth."

She shakes her head, "you should know because your god's favorite."

I smiled she already knew me.

"I don't know if I like you or the sex?" I whispered.

"I'm hoping it's me," Jaleena and I were tangled in the sheets sweat lined our foreheads and the stars shined in through the curtains.

"I'm pretty sure it's you," I breathed out onto her lips. We only pulled apart when my phone started to blast I Adore You by Miley Cyrus. I looked over to her chair where my pants sat and sighed.

Getting up I took the sheets with me and grabbed my phone, "hello?" My voice dripped with irritation.

"Natalia, umm, where are you?"

"Jane? Why are you calling me it's like two am?" I shook my head and brought my hand to my temples.

"I'm sorry, but your mom insisted I called you."

I groaned, "Why are you at the house? I thought you were staying at your house tonight?"

"I was, but I decided against it and came back, but Natalia your mom-"

I cut her off, "Shit, wait there for me. Give me thirty minutes and I'll be there," I sighed.

"Ok," hanging up the phone I turned away and faced Jaleena, "I'm sorry."

She shook her head and turned away. I walked up to her and grabbed her chin, "Hey, see you tomorrow?"

"24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86400 seconds, can't wait."

I smiled and with one last kiss threw on clothes and left with the promise to come back for my bag.

Taking the drive back to my house I sped the whole way making the twenty minute journey ten minutes. I jumped out of the car and ran inside. The woman I call mother stood in the living room pacing back and forth. Jane sat on the couch looking disturbed.

"Natalia!" She blew up. Her jet black hair fell out of her bun as she made sharp moves around the living room, the hair spray wearing off after a whole day, "I did not under any circumstances give your permission to leave this house!"

Her ice cold hand met my red flushed face.

"You will be obedient and listen to my every word while I'm here! You hear girl!" My head was flung to the opposite side as her ice cold hand hit my other flushed cheek. I nod my head, "Use your words!" She spat in my face.

Tears threatened to fall, but I knew better than to cry in front of this woman, "Yes ma'am."

"Good. Go to your room. I don't want to see your face till tomorrow morning, oh and take a shower you reek of sex."

I was dismissed and I ran upstairs tears streaming down my face.

I ran inside my room tripping over the seat that lies at the end of my bed in the process. Staying on the floor I weeped.

I cried my eyes raw. I didn't stop crying even when the door opened five minutes later. I didn't stop crying when the brunette bent down next to me. I didn't stop even when she embraced me patting my back. I didn't stop until hours later when I fell asleep crying in her arms.

So, what do y'all think about Jaleena? Is this a start of a new ship? I personally still like Nataley, but I think Natalia is so done with Lindsey :( she needs to make up her mind! What about her mom? What Are y'alls thoughts about her?
