“Wait is that the infamous Tasha I keep hearing about, “a woman with red hair says walking towards the door.

“You guys what the hell I thought we were playing——-wait whose at the door, ”Alice says looking and seeing Tasha standing outside in her doorway.

When Alice got to the doorway Tasha from where she stood could see directly into Alice living room. There she could see drink glasses on the living room table, playing cards, and a snack tray. Coming over tonight was definitely a mistake.

“You’re the POW and the one that stood Alice up on a date?”

“I didn’t stand her up my truck broke down and I——-,”Tasha is cutoff by the boisterously woman. Tasha had never seen her in her life and she was trying to figure out how she knew so much about her.

“Karen what are you fussing about——–Tasha, “Alice says surprised to see her. Making her way in between Helena and Kit, Alice is now standing face to face with Tasha. “Damn Alice looks beautiful, “Tasha thinks to herself. She couldn’t stop herself from staring and Alice stared back at her in return. Both Kit and Helena picking up on the looks both women were giving each other excused themselves and sat back down in the living room. Karen not picking up on the hint continues to stand in the doorway directly behind Alice.

Taking a sip of her wine, “Yeah, I have to give it to you cuzzo she is definitely a hottie but aint no way in hell I would still talk to someone after they stood me up I mean you couldn’t call and say you were running late?”

“Uhmmm, Karen I can handle this please go sit down, “Alice says.

“Okay—-okay, but not until I find out why she couldn’t call, “she says staring at Tasha.

Alice looking at Tasha felt bad for her she looked beyond pitiful and embarrassed.

“Uh, it’s okay Al I didn’t call because I don’t have a phone.”

Both Helena and Kit sitting on the couch could tell from Tashas tone she was really uncomfortable and that standing Alice up that night was completely false.

“Oh, so you left it home by mistake oh well yeah I can understand that it happens to the best of us.”
