Alex's: POV
I was home in my office looking over some case notes for court on Monday. I was recently promoted to lead district attorney at the DA's office. Which meant a pay raise
My good friend Casey invited me out for drinks this evening, l told her we could get together next weekend
Because l had so much stuff to do such as laundry
Grocery shopping. I spend majority of my time at my office, sometimes I don't get home until midnight or times l ended up spending the night at, it's a good thing my new office has a bathroom with a shower. I dread coming home to an empty house, l didn't wanna let Casey know
I was buring my self into my work, l figured if I stay busy
I won't lonely. At thirty five years old l didn't picture my life like, my last relationship failed because I caught Ashley cheating with l thought was my best friend Abbie
It took me a whole year to get over our breakup Abby was offered a job in Seattle as a defense attorney. Ashley
I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased this three bedroom penthouse. I thought Ashley was the one but apparently l was wrong to fall for her games, l just wanna date someone who isn't about all games. I guess it's time for me to put myself out there again, my parents keeps asking me when am I gonna settle down and get married like my big sister Stephanie. I'm scared to give my heart to another woman, l'm supposed to go over to Stephanie's house for dinner tomorrow evening. We haven't seen each other each other in a while, due to our work schedules
Casey wants me to meet her best friend Olivia who recently moved here from Manhattan New York, she's a college professor who teaches English literature. I don't to much about her accept she has a daughter, l've never dated a woman with a child before. It's to bad l won't get to experience motherhood, it was hard to come to terms with. But I accepted it that's another reason why Ashley and broke up. Because I was infertile and couldn't bare our children, the way medical technology is today
I have the resources and money to visit a fertility specialist, but right now I have to much going on at the moment to consider going through the procedure
Maybe some where down the line. I can't believe it's going on two in the afternoon, l spent most of my day locked up in my office doing case work. I really need to swing by the cleaners to pick up my dry cleaner, and do some grocery shopping. There isn't anything in here to eat, l could order groceries online and have them delivered it. But I really need to get out the house, shit next weekend is my parents anniversary. I'm gonna have to call Casey to reschedule for another time, l blew her off several times these last few weeks. There's is no way l can get out of going to this party, l know if I don't Stephanie will be over here in a heartbeat. Thank God for my sister in law Lena who keeps Stephanie out of my hair, l need to get my airplane ticket
Book reservations for a hotel room. Nobody likes staying at my parents house. They treat us like teenagers even though Stephanie is five years older than me, l'm the baby in the family. Stephanie has two daughters Francesca is eight and Callie is eighteen and in college,
