I look down at my feet, noticing that she had pulled off my socks and replaced my jeans with my lucky monkey pj pants. “I thought you’d already zonked out.” Alice commented, sitting up by my head. “Are you sure you’re feeling okay?” I hated to worry them, but everytime I was a little run down they panicked. It tended towards the obsessive, but I was afraid if I commented on that that I would offend them, or worse hurt their feelings.
That leniency did not extend to Alice’s hand on my forehead checking for a fever. I batted her hands away “I’ve been travelling almost non stop for day’s Al,” I slurred, obviously more beat then I thought, “I needed to get back here in time.”
“Here in time for what?” Alice asked, obviously confused.
I tried to keep my eye’s opened so we can finish the conversation but my body was starting to betray me. “Kit told me about the award Al. I didn’t want to miss it, so I caught the first camel out.” It takes a while for me to get messages when I travel, and I hate being so out of contact with everyone.
“Sleep Bette, when you wake up tonight we’ll have a BBQ.”
Struggling from the pull of sleep I half sit up to address her. “Al, I’m really not…” she put her hand over her mouth. It smelt like chocolate, making my mouth water. Another thing I missed being distanced from civilisation and basic refrigeration. Chocolate, even M&M’s melt in the temperatures of bleached sand.
Patting my cheek gently she interjects “We’ll set it up; Kit, Shane, Helena, Dana, Lara and I. You don’t have to worry about anything but getting some sleep.” Leaning forward she caused the bed to creek as she kissed my forehead, “you really look like shit.”
Typical Alice I thought as I drifted off to sleep, excited about seeing everyone again when I woke up. If I was honest with myself, I was equally as excited about having a thick, juicy piece of steak that is lightly seared on both sides – still mooing in the middle.
That never used to be my favoured way of steak, but it’s amazing the strange habits you can pick up in the process of living.
“Love you.” Al whispered in my ear before leaving the room. Long before she could hear my sleep delayed reply returning the feeling.

Wow! What a treat to have two stories from you now. This is a great start and I can’t wait to see where you are going to go with it. Please post again soon.
Thank you for such a great beginning! Love Alice and can’t wait to see where this goes. pps
I like this start please continue just give us Tina and then we will be complete. We have a lot to be revealed to us. Let’s get this party started. You’re right “Light” is very heavy but you are telling the story in such a creative way and with such powerful emotions that one can not help being fully immersed in the story yet see all the love that is very evident within the characters, and their flaws. Makes you want to shake some of them till they rattle. PPS
Wow, Deean! This is surely a good start for a fresh new story! Can’t wait how you may unfold it. Please take us along on the ride. *wink* We know it will be amazing. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
It doesn’t HAVE to have Tina in it to be complete and a wonderful story!
I just read it again… yeah my mind was beyond immersed… and OMG the way you make environments feel alive… the way you personified the desert and the feelings… that was just amazing… I cannot wait to see what you do next and well… you blow me away… I’m going to have to re-evaluate my own writing… cause you are an inspiration… “Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.” – Carol Burnett I can tell you straight out that your writing your words your literary soul do just this… love and hugs, JC
Hello My Beautiful Dee… I can totally understand what you mean by sometimes taking some distance from one piece and starting another… sometimes we need to refocus… and well… this is completely amazing… so very different but so much like your other one… you harvest emotions… you have a powerful soul that is just so full of emotions… so full of passion and powerful emotions… I am in awe… I am blown away with just how incredibly beautiful and brilliant your literary soul is… I hope to talk to you about your creative process… your desire and love for words is an inspiration… wow… just beautiful… love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever Talented Eunichick)
WOW this is scene is so alive makes me feel like i’m really there! don’t rush any of ur stories!:)PPS
Well indeed this is something different and I am definitely interested to see what happens in here. Many questions popping up. There is a light and humorous touch while we are also seeing something hard and painful underneath. Catherine Bell is a Scientologist too?? She is hot all right! I can definitely understand why you want to take a break from the other one, it is soo heavy, but so finely crafted as well. Looking forward to more here!
what happened to bette why is or was she so sick?Al is a good friend to have i like the plot
