”Baby, what’s wrong, “she ask with an inquisitive look on her face.

Tasha hears her but takes a moment to answer,” That was my lawyer my check bounced and Simone picked up the bill she paid my attorney’s fees in full.”

”What? What about Simone, “she manages to say ignoring pretty much everything she said because all she heard was Simones name.

“Simone picked up my lawyer fees $72, 000 dollars worth damn I didn’t know she had bank like that.”

Alice looks at Tasha giving her a half smile ”Well that was sweet of her what are you going to do now? What does this mean?”

“Well it does mean that I’ve got to talk to her to thank her.”

“Well I hope that only involves like a ”thank you” card.” Tasha has an exasperated look on her face now.

”Awwww shit come on Al I can’t not acknowledge this!”

“Tash, I know it’s not that it’s just its hard especially since I know she still has a thing for you.”

“Do you blame her, “she shoots back playfully.

“Nooooo, “she says between laughs.

“Do you trust me?” Alice, knowing the right answer is yes but also understands Simone’s feelings as she once was in her position when her relationship with Dana ended.

“Yes, of course I do but how are you going to do this and really get across to Simone you guys can’t be together.”

“Then trust me enough to do the right thing by everyone involved.” All Tasha knows at this moment is that she’s glad she’s got her ”girls,” Papi and Simone even though Simone expressed her feelings for her almost ruining her relationship with Alice they both still had her back. She knows Alice has hers somehow Tasha thinks to herself, ”I’ve got to work this out, “thinking and smiling to herself, ”Damn that Simone she knows how I feel about goodbyes.”

”Uh humm I’m still here, “she says wanting to break Tasha away from her thoughts.

”I know and I’m glad you are, “she says while starting to kiss Alice. Tasha moves Alice to the center of the bed peppering her lips with kisses as they move, Tasha over Alice under. She then slowly moves down to her neck.
