Alice nearly swooned and was powerless to stop herself from leaning forward and kissing Tasha right on the lips. Tasha reacted instantly opening her lips for Alice’s tongue.

The moment their tongues met both women moaned. Alice’s hands wrapped around Tasha’s neck deepening the kiss.

Tasha’s arms moved around Alice’s waist as they shifted so that Alice was lying down on the bed with Tasha on top of her.

"Mm," Tasha moaned breaking the kiss. "Alice, this is a bit fast. I don’t wanna rush you. We haven’t even started dating yet."

"I know, I know," Alice breathed, "I just really missed you."

"Wow, Shane," Carmen said following the brunette to the back alley behind Hit, "it’s been, so long."

"I know," Shane said, "it really has."

"I didn’t expect to run into you," Carmen said softly.

"Me neither," Shane said. "Look Carmen, I know a lot of time has passed, but I really want to apologize for what I did."

"You mean leaving me at the altar in Canada in front of my entire family?" Carmen said.

"Yes," Shane said. "Everyday it eats me up inside. All the guilt. All the pain I’ve caused. I regret everyday what I did to you."

"You regret it?" Carmen said.

"Yes," Shane said. "I need your forgiveness."

"You’re telling me," Carmen said stepping forward, "that if you could turn back time you would marry me?"

"I-I don’t…" Shane stammered nervously, "I’m not sure."

"Let me ask you something," Carmen said stepping even closer.

"W-what?" Shane said nervously.

"Did you ever love me?"

"What?"

"Did you ever love me?" Carmen repeated.

"Yes," Shane said confidently. "Yes I did. I loved you with all my heart."

"Then why did you leave?" Carmen said.

"I had just seen my dad leave his wife for a young thing," Shane said. "He said that was the McKutchen way and then all I could think about was you and I married and me stepping out on you. I had already done it once before with Cheri and I knew in my heart that I couldn’t guarantee fidelity. You deserved better."
