To Be or Not to Be!

This is the sequel to "I'm all you need". I would advise reading that one first, but you don't have to.

There was a typo in the last chapter of I'm all you need. The third daughters name was supposed to be spelled 'Salana' not Salara. - Sorry I didn't catch that.

Please be patient with me. This is my second story, so I am still trying to maneuver through the site.

Name Pronunciations: Syan (Sie-ann), Sanaa (Su-nie), Salana (Su-lon-nu)

Of course, I do not own any characters.

Let the story begin. Hope it spikes your interest!

Chapter 1

"Who took my cell phone? I set it on the counter and I know one of you munchkins have it." Sofia sets dinner on the table for her three sisters and herself. Sanaa and Salana take a seat and of course the troublemaker, Syan is missing. A familiar voice is coming from the bathroom. "Syan, off of my cell and out of the bathroom." Syan walks out of the bathroom and casually hands the phone to Sofia. "Syan who were you talking to?"

"Your friend Angelica. She called while you were cooking. I told her you would call her back."

"Why didn't you just give me the phone? I needed to talk to her." Sofia lets out a brief sigh. "Oh well, dinner is ready. Have a seat."

The four sit and eat their pasta as Sofia thinks back to the first day she met Angelica Kinard-Porter.

"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to room 232, Mr. Butler - Biology?" Sofia turns around to a new face that she has never seen before. Being that she is one of the most popular kids at St. Mary's Academy, she knows everyone. She is in her Junior year and has made friends with just about the entire school.

"Sure. Is this your first day?" Sofia ask.

"Yes. I'm Angelica Kinard-Porter but you can call me Angie. I just moved here from Los Angeles."

"Hi Angelica. Is it okay if I call you Angelica instead of Angie?"

"Yeah, that's fine. So, do you have a name?"

Sofia…. Sofia Torres and I happen to be going to Mr. Butlers class myself, so follow me."

That was 9 months ago and they had been best friends ever since. Angelica was the same height as Sofia and also had the same beautiful mocha caramel complexion that Sofia adorned. Within the first week of Angelica's arrival, they learned they were similar in many ways. They especially found it interesting that they each had two mothers. Their lives couldn't be better until now.

"Your phone. Hello, Earth to Sofia. Your phone, it's ringing." Salana states bringing Sofia out of her daydream.

"Thanks Salana…. Hello…. Gavin, hey. Uhm, I don't know about that. I'll have to ask my parents when they get in….. I'll call you as soon as I speak with them, okay….. I love you too. Talk to you later."

"Ooooohhhhh!" The girls say in unison. They loved teasing their bigger sister about her boyfriend and she normally didn't mind.

Sofia and Gavin Jacobs had been dating for almost two years now. They were the most popular couple in their school. Although they said I love you to each other often, Sofia found that she didn't mean it. She liked him a lot but love was stretching it. Truth be told, she had become a little confused these last few weeks.

"Oooohhhh what?" Arizona says as she and Callie slowly walk in from a grueling day at work.

Sanaa jumps from the table rushing to her Mothers. She is the jealous one of the bunch so she loves to be the first to receive hugs and kisses. "Sofia told Gavin that she loves him." she says jumping up and down excitedly.

"Really." Callie kisses Sanaa on the forehead and then does the same to Syan and Salana. "So Sofi bug, you love Gavin?" she asks.

"It's hard to get some privacy around this house." Sofia replies with a smile on her face. She definitely had Callie's smile, but she also had Arizona's dimples. She was a balanced mixture of her two Mothers and the combination was lethal. Sofia had grown to be a very beautiful girl. She had the perfect tan year round, dimples, long thick dark brown hair, Callie's personality and Arizona's sincerity. Let's not talk about her having Mark's appetite for affection. She had been caught many times kissing or 'making out' with Gavin.

"Tell me about it." says Arizona. "Mommy and I know about that oh too well. Nothing gets past these three amigas!" Arizona makes her rounds and administers hugs and kisses to all her little Barbie doll replicas. "Dinner looks and smells great. Any left for Me and Mommy?"

"Si, it's on the stove. Uhm, Madres maravillosas los mios, Tengo una pregunta a pedir." ( wonderful mothers of mine, I have a question to ask.)

Callie and Arizona stop what they are doing and give Sofia their attention. Arizona leans into Callie and runs her left hand up and down her back. "Here it comes. You know, the Spanish only works on me when it's coming from Callie, but go ahead, give it a shot. Ask your question." Arizona says with an eye roll.

Sofia takes a deep breath and asks her question in ten seconds flat. "We are having our last school dance of the year next Saturday and afterward a group of my friends will be staying at Gavin's house. His parents will be there and the girls will be sleeping on one side of the house and the guys on the other. His parents are going to talk to each parent that allows their child to stay over and we will be chaperoned the entire time. Can I go?" she drags in a deep breath for the first time since she started rambling.

Arizona and Callie answer her at the same time. But their answers are complete opposite.

"We will have to speak to his parents fir-.."

"Hell No!" Arizona blurts, cutting Callie off.

They both look at each other with raised eyebrows. Sofia gets out of her chair and steps behind Arizona. She wraps her arms around her neck and lays her head on her shoulder. "Mom, it's just a get-together. You would rather me be in the house instead of being out in a club or hanging on the streets, right?"

Arizona turns in her embrace and cups her face. "I would rather you be home, here, by 1am. Safely in your bed alone!" Arizona gives her the 'this conversation is over' look and walks upstairs. Syan, Sanaa, and Salana have not moved a muscle. They learned over their six years of being on this earth that it is best to sit and be quiet when their Moms were on opposite ends of a situation. Arizona and Callie tried not to argue in front of their children but it had occurred once or twice.

Arizona reaches the top of the stairs and turns around. She yells, "What type of parents think it is okay to invite a bunch of horny teenagers to spend the night over their house?"

"We're not all horny Mom and not all the time anyway."

"Uh, yeah, you are!" she says before going to her room to change.

Callie watches Sofia as she prepares two plates for her them. Callie whispers to Sofia "Your Mom and I will discuss it later Sweetie."

"You mean fight about, cause she wasn't playing when she said 'Hell No'."

"Watch your mouth and I can handle your Mom. Don't worry about it….. Girls if you are finish, put your dishes in the dishwasher and go get changed. You can help me open up the pool after I eat."

"Yayyyy!" Six little feet run to the dishwasher then up the stairs sounding like a herd of elephants on the charge. Callie follows behind them. Sofia picks up her phone and dials Angelica.

The line rings a few times and just before the voicemail comes on, Angelica answers.

"Hey Sofia. What's up?"

"I just asked if I could go to Gavin's after the dance and my folks aren't seeing eye to eye on it."

"You seriously asked your Mothers? There is no way in hell my Moms would let me. I'm telling them that I am staying over your house."

"What? Are you crazy? What are you going to do about Gavin's parents meeting everyone?"

"You know how everyone says that Christian and I look so much alike? Well, she has a sister that's twenty seven years old but looks like she is thirty seven. She is going to pretend to be our parent and say it's okay. You just have to make sure you can get there."

Sofia lets out a slight laugh. "Angelica Kinard-Porter, you are bad…. So bad. Don't worry, I am going to be there." Sofia ends her conversation and dials Gavin. "Gavin, is there any way you can get your parents to bypass having to speak to my Mothers since I am your girlfriend?"

"I think I can work that out."

"Good. I am going to tell my parents that I am staying over Angelica's house. Get that done for me please, I have to go butter my parents up. See you tomorrow in class."

"Love ya Sofia."

"I know you do." she says and closes her phone.

Sofia has told a few small lies to Callie and Arizona but nothing this major and never such a bold lie. She doesn't give it a second thought and heads upstairs to put her plan in motion.

Three days later Sofia and Angelica are shopping for dresses. Sofia was given an American Express card on her fourteenth birthday by her grandpa Carlos. Callie protested but Carlos won. "Mija, she is my oldest grandchild and she is growing up. She is practically a woman. You grew up privileged Calliope and I don't know why you are depriving Sofia of the same. She deserves the better things in life and she deserves to live a life of luxury. Sofia, this is my gift to you, An American Express Card. You have a ten thousand dollar limit with a two thousand dollar daily limit. Don't spend it all at once. I love you!"

"Sofia what about this dress?" Angelica was wearing a dark indigo colored dress that stopped just above her knee. It had spaghetti straps and hugged her body nicely.

"Wow, this is the one Angelica. You have to get it, I love it." Damn you look good in this dress, very sexy…. Did I just say sexy…. Get a grip, when did I start thinking Angelica was sexy? We really need to stop spending so much time together.

"You think so? It doesn't make my butt look big?" Angelica turns in the mirror trying to measure the width of her derrière.

"There is no getting around that black girl booty of yours. It's a nice booty, get the dress." Sofia laughs.

Angelica and Sofia often teased each other about their ethnic traits. The nice booties, the curves and the luscious lips. Their parents kept a watchful eye on them and they had good reason to.

"Sofia I really like the teal colored dress you tried on. It shows off your legs and just enough cleavage. You have really nice tits…. Really nice."

"Uh… Thanks, I think." Sofia sits in the chair outside of the dressing room looking down at her breast, holding the teal dress in her hands that she is speaking of. Is she flirting with me? I am the queen of flirting. She was definitely flirting.

"You ready Sofia?"

"Yeah, lets go."

Sofia puts her purchase on the counter and Angelica tells the clerk that she will not be getting her dress.

"Hold on, Angelica what are you doing? This is the dress. You look stunning in that. You have to get it."

"The price tag is stunning too. My mom gave me a thousand dollars to purchase a dress, shoes and accessories. I didn't look at the tag until I was taking it off. The dress cost eight hundred dollars."

Sofia instructs the clerk that they will be getting both dresses. "Your mom limited you to one thousand dollars? Why? You guys are loaded."

"They are loaded. I am poor. Last month I charged over three grand on my mom's card and she was pissed. She said I need to be more responsible when It came to spending money. So now I am on a damn budget."

"Ha ha. Our moms are so much alike. I am going to buy your dress and don't try to object. It's not like I'm going to do it everyday. This is a special occasion and you are a special friend. Besides my grandpa gave me an American Express card that he pays. He must check it online everyday because he immediately pays it after every purchase. It pisses my mom off which is very funny." Sofia pays for their dresses and they grab their bags to leave. "The best part though, is going to my dad for money. He spoils me rotten and he gave me two grand this morning too."

Angelica walks out the door ahead of Sofia and looks over her shoulder. "I'm going to pay you back for the dress whether you want me to or not! Thanks, I appreciate it."

Sofia just smiles as she follows behind her admiring the view. I'm sure you will.

The next chapter should be up early tomorrow evening. All reviews are welcomed. I will try my best to respond to each review. Thanks in advance!
