almost immediately.
And second… and again, this is a long way off. But the urge to find male companionship is very likely to come over you two gorgeous ladies, and if and when it does, I ask that you let me do a simple background check into them. Just to be sure that we can trust them coming to the house for perhaps say a date night. But again, that is a long way off because I want the two of you to take time for yourselves, and get to know, and love yourselves again before you let another man love you. Even if it is just for a night," Aurora grinned and continued on the tour.
While the two women settled into their rooms, Aurora placed a take-out order and took the women on the short ride to pick up the Chinese food.
"That’s another thing ladies, never order in. I can't risk a delivery person giving out our location. If you want to order out that’s fine, just make sure you never get it delivered," Aurora explained.
"Will do, but I love to cook, and I was thinking that if it's alright with the two of you, I could maybe plan a menu for the week? It'll keep my mind occupied, and I really find it therapeutic."
Looks of complete and utter delight came over Mari and Aurora's faces. "Say no more Rosie, you are our official chef," Aurora joked.
"You make me a list tonight and I'll head out to the market in the morning."
"Sounds like a plan." Rosie smiled at the two of them. It was nice to feel needed in a non-servitude sort of way. Right here in front of her she had two new friends who were going to show her that there was life beyond the misery of abuse.
When she settled into one of the room's that night, Aurora smiled when she thought about Mari and Rosie asking her to stay inside. They both told her that they'd feel more comfortable with her in the house. They all giggled when Mari said that they sound like a bunch of teenage girls asking a parent to stay because they were too scared to stay on their own.
Aurora told them that she would be happy to stay in the house. She had been staying there anyway; there hadn't been a friend in need in a few weeks so there was no need to worry about invading anyone's space. She was glad for the company but not the circumstances which brought them to her. She wished things were different, but they weren’t, and she was going to make sure that her two friends were very well taken care of.
While she lay in bed that night her thoughts wandered to those of Rosie and Mari. She'd just met the two women and already was beginning to grow quite fond of them. Their situations had led them to her and with Renee's help along with Nick, she was sure that they would be able to get on their feet in no time. Both had taken the first step, they chose to leave. She'd told them that the hard part was over, and it was.
The rest will come easy she told them, she would help Mari file divorce papers and speak to an attorney. Rosie lived with her boyfriend Landon, so making a clean break would be easier for her. Luckily neither one had children so there would be no custody issues, and she was glad of that. Once all the paperwork was filed she'd help them get on their feet, that’s what she was there for.
Aurora compared their situations. Rosie seemed to come from a relationship where he controlled everything that she did. Her boyfriend wouldn’t allow her to have any friends. Aurora knew that it was because he was afraid that they would turn her against him and convince her to leave him. "He thinks that I talk about him with other people and laugh at him behind his back," Rosie said.
"Sounds like his insecurity was plain to see," Aurora told the women.
Aurora thought on about what Rosie had told her. She said that her boyfriend's obsession with privacy didn’t seem to apply to her. He monitored all of her internet and cell phone activity.
Rosie told them that her boyfriend Landon was so controlling that there were times when he'd follow her into the bathroom. "He denied me any
