Shane shook her head at the baby talk and took the clothing.  Where can I

The bathroom is the first door on the left.  She nodded down the hallway.  After a moment she saw the tall lanky woman reemerge in the kitchen holding her wet clothes.  Despite her own thinness, her clothes swam on the younger woman.  Here Ill take themIll just throw them in the washing machine. 

You dont have to do that.  Shane was unsure of what the night was going to bring her, but she knew washing and drying clothes took time and she didnt do sleepovers.  Do you have a bag I can put them in?  She asked sheepishly.

Let me clean themits the least I can do.  She took the clothes from Shane and walked back down the hallway without waiting for a comment. 

Standing bewildered in the kitchen, Shane sighed and set about finding mugs for the coffee.  After pouring two cups she set them down on the counter and cradled the purring kitten.

I see you found the mugs.  Dana grinned at the thin woman.  We probably shouldnt be drinking this if we hope to get any sleep tonight.  She glanced at the clock noting that it was a little after four A.M.  Its pretty lateif you want you can crash on my couch so you can have your clothes tomorrow.

Danas face fell slightly and she berated herself for her earlier boldness.  It wasnt in her nature to allow strangers into her home, but the younger woman seemed harmless enough and it had been a while for her.  She had briefly fantasized at the prospect of the two of them but her fear of other peoples opinions had forced her to continue her faade as a straight woman.  OkayIll call you a cab  Looking up she caught the emerald green eyes that were flashing in front of her.  She felt a strange warmth rise from the bottom of her stomach and engulf her face.
