“Al, were going to head out will catch up with you later, “Helena says.

“No, please don’t go I was just leaving, “Tasha says starting to walk down the hall.

“Don’t let her walk away, “Kit says before kissing Alice on the cheek.

“Go and get her Al and oh were taking this one off your hands to, “Helena says grabbing Karen and pulling her out of the doorway.

“Tasha, “Alice yells her name.

Hearing her name called Tasha turns around and sees Alice.

“Don’t leave.”

As Kit, Helena, and Karen pass by Tasha Karen tried to say something smart but Helena covered her mouth before she could utter another word.

When Tasha reached Alice doorway again Alice grabbed her hand and lead her into the living room, “We need to talk.”

Tasha sits on the couch and Alice begins pacing back and forth not saying any words or looking in Tashas direction. She didn’t know what to think but she knew that she was on verge of missing her bus ride home if she didn’t leave in the next few minutes.

“Uhm Al I know that coming over tonight was a mistake and I———.”

“You know when I stayed with you for that week and you held me in your arms all those nights you wanted to make love to me didn’t you?”

Alice question completely caught Tasha off guard. Her palms started to sweat and staring at Alice from the couch she isn’t sure how she should respond to her question.

“Tasha?”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to answer my question?”

Looking at Alice in the eye, “Yeah, yes I did.”

“What stopped you?”

“My heart was telling me to go for it but my mind kept telling me you weren’t mine to have.”

“And what about when we showered together?”

“Yes the same thing.”

Alice stares at Tasha.

“I knew you were going to say that.”

“I said something wrong didn’t I?”

“No, you just confirmed what I already knew.”

“And what is that, “Tasha asked worriedly.

“That you weren’t going to touch me unless you had my permission to.”

“That’s part of it.”

“What’s the other part?”

“The other part is I didn’t touch you because I don’t feel worthy enough to.”
