Alice broke away Yes, I guess it is your turn.

Natalie did a slight little cheer YES!! Okaylet me see. Natalie could not hold back her excitement. You made a big deal about how old I am How old are you?

I did not make a big deal! I was just surprised! I will be 29 next month.

Ooooo..29? So old!! Natalie said taking Alices hand pulling her into her for a hug.

So old? I cant help youre still a baby! pulling Natalie into a bigger hug.

The two started to cuddle on the couch.

Tell me about your family.

My family? Where do I begin? My mom well you just have to meet her. No words can possibly be used to describe her. I have a brother and a sister. I dont usually see them much unless we are playing whos turn is it to bail mom out. I havent talked to my father in such a long time. That is about it. I mostly consider my friends to be my family. Bette, Tina.and there are also two other girls that Ive been very close to for the past few years. Dana and Shane.

Are you a ***** or what?

I guess you can say I consider myself bi. Right now Im just looking for something fun. No strings attached. Ive been walked all over and I dont want to keep repeating the process.

Are you completely out?

Yes. Everyone knows about my sexuality. My parents. My co-workers. My friends.

Does it bother you that I am not completely out and open?

Well, I have to say that I usually would steer clear from a woman that isnt completely out and open. But there is something about you. something different you seem so comfortable with who you are and knowing the limits of which you have to work with. So, No, I dont have a problem with you not being completely out.

Natalie looks over at Alice and starts to shake her headMy momsorry about that!

Its fine Hey are you getting a little bit tired? Want to start the movie over and watch it together? asked Alice

Yeah that sounds wonderful!

The movie started over and the two women settled themselves comfortably on the couch all snuggled next to each other. They both fell asleep.

Several Hours Later 4:36am Friday morning

Natalie awoke from a deep sleep in Alices arms. What time is it she thought to herself. Natalie rolled herself off the couch careful not to wake Alice. She wondered around following the light coming from the nearby window, careful not to bump into anything in the dark. She fumbled for a piece of paper and a pen.

Dear Alice-

I had a great time last night. Dinner with Bette and Tina was amazing and I really enjoyed spending time with you. I hope we can get together again soon. If you were wondering my phone number is 804-555-6718. Give me a call. I should be off work around 5.

Love, Nat
