Whats wrong? Marina asked as soon as she saw Cecilia. She could tell by the look on her lovers face that something was bothering her. Cecilia sat her things down on the dining room table and silently walked over to Marina and hugged her. Cecilia what is it? Now Marina was very concerned.

Remember that woman Jessica? The one that Shane brought over here the night you proposed? Cecilia asked into Marinas soft hair.

How could I forget her?

Shes causing trouble. Marina pulled back from Cecilias embrace and looked into her eyes while keeping her hands on her waist.

What kind of trouble? Marina asked.

She filed a complaint with the school saying that I made her sleep with me in order for her to get an A in my class, Cecilia said softly.

That little *****! They dont believe her do they? Marina asked with a spark of anger in her eyes. They had discussed both of their past escapades in depth and Marina knew that Cecilia never slept with a student for a grade.

I dont think so. But they still have to do a formal investigation. I have to meet with their lawyers on Friday. They recommended I bring one of my own.

Melissa can handle it shes very good, Marina stated remembering how the woman had handled everything with Francesca. Have you called her?

No I wanted to tell you first, Cecilia said softly. Marina pulled Cecilia back into an embrace.

You have nothing to worry about. Everything will turn out fine, Marina said into Cecilias curls.

I hope so The tone in Cecilias voice was concerning Marina. The woman sounded as if things were much worse than they appeared to be.

Cecilia? Is there something else? You dont sound like yourself. The statement made Cecilia pull back and look at Marina.

Its just Marina looked at Cecilia waiting for her to tell her what else was bothering the normally optimistic woman. Well things have been almost perfect for us other than Francesca. I just dont want this to mess things up!

Marina chuckled softly. It will take a lot more than this to mess things up! Marina leaned in and kissed Cecilia softly. You cant get rid of me that easy, she said smiling. Cecilia smiled in return and pulled Marina to her for a deeper kiss. By the time their lips parted, they were both in the mood to do things other than talking.
