Bette erased the message and took a drink of her water. She still can’t believe that this woman was watching her child. And what’s making it worse; Tina is befriending Helena once again. Bette took a seat on the loveseat and put her feet on the footrest and closed her eyes. She heard the phone ring, but didn’t answer it. She let it ring, and dose off into a deep slumber.

            Alice walked into her home and headed towards the living room. She heard laughing and walked in. Jordanna looked up and smiled. She walked over to her fiance and gave her a kiss.

“Hey babe, I missed you. So how was the fitting?”

“It went great, I love the dress. It’s perfect for my day.” Alice looked over at the couch and notice the mystery lady. “So are you going to introduce me?” Jordana smiled and grabbed Alice’s hand.

“Alice, this is Chloe. Chloe, this is my beautiful fiance Alice.” Chloe got up and shook Alice’s hand.

“Nice to meet you. I heard A LOT about you.” Alice looked at Jordanna and smiled.

“I hope it was good.”

“It was, she didn’t say one word bad about you.” Chloe smiled softly. “I hate to cut this short, but I have a job to get to. Nice meeting you Alice.”

“Nice meeting you too.” Chloe waved the couple off and walked out of the house. Alice walked over to the couch and took a seat. She took off her shoes and relaxed. “So who was she?”

“An old friend from high school. She came back to visit from Vegas. She’s here for the wedding. She’s my “best woman.” She took a seat next to Jordana and wrapped her arms around Alice.

“I don’t know, there’s something about her that worries me. I can’t put my finger on it.”

“There’s nothing wrong with her, she’s a good person. She was always there for me, but she moved to Sin City. She wanted to become an entertainer, but instead she became a bartender at a strip club.” Alice looked up at Jordana and started to laugh. “What? It’s the truth, but once you get to know her, she’s really sweet.”

“Alright, I put your word up for it.” Alice kissed her softly and wrapped her arms around her. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” They kiss once more and pull away. “So what do you want to do my love?”  Alice straddled Jordana’s waist and kissed her softly.

“I want you to make love to me.” Jordana smiled and unbutton Alice’s jeans. She ran her hands up her sheer blouse and held her waist. Alice pulled Jordana’s hair tie out of the bun, letting her hair fall. Jordana grabbed Alice’s blouse and pulled it over her head. Alice unbutton Jordana’s pin shirt, letting fall off her smooth, mocha shoulders. She kissed her bare flesh, while Jordana ran her fingers across Alice’s back. Jordana grabbed a hold of Alice and laid them down on the floor. They kissed each other passionately, having their selves an afternoon delight.
