“Lara there’s a photographer from TopChef’s who want to get a few comments outside and take your picture”

Lara sighed and nodded. “Ok give me a sec” Lara turned away from Alice. “Eli come here and take over finish the slicing and add it to the Rogetti” Lara looked back at Alice.

“It’s really nice to see you again Alice”

Alice smiled. “Yeah its-

“Lara its getting wild out there could you please-

“ok, ok I’m coming” she looked back at Alice “I’m sorry hold that thought”

Alice watched as Lara left the kitchen. Alice headed back out to Shane and the others.

“You see her?”

“yeah… um she’s over there now taking pictures”

Shane and Carmen looked over toward the entrance and smiled.

“She looks great” Carmen said.

“yeah she looks beautiful” Alice said then she took a big gulp of her red wine.

Jamie sighed. “She alright…” Jamie slipped her hand under the table to Alice’s thigh. Alice jumped a bit and looked over at Jamie. “Jamie..”

Jamie ignored her looks and continued to rub her thigh then slowly ran her hand in between her thighs. Alice jumped up. Jamie sighed.

“I gotta go to the bathroom”

Alice quickly entered the bathroom and sighed. She leaned against a stall and closed her eyes.

“You ok?” She jumped and suddenly grew nervous as she looked into Lara eyes.

“um yeah, ha what are you doing in here?”

Lara held up her hands. “Reporter popped his pen and got ink all over my hands”

“oh” Alice nodded.

As Lara was washing her hands she looked over at Alice. “You look great Al”

Alice smiled and ran her hand through her hair. “Thanks um you look great too”

Lara dried her hands and made her away over to Alice slowly. Her eyes ran all over her body. “It’s been a while huh?”

Alice tried to control her breathing she couldn’t believe after all this time, after all the woman she’s been with; Lara was still the only one who could get under her skin like this.
