”Since you guys got the car you can hang out at my place that’ll give all of us some privacy.”

Chris looks at her awkwardly, ”But I don’t know my way around here.”

”Well you can start learning, because if you’re going to talk about living here, you need to know your way around besides, the car does have the navigational thing if you prepare yourself for your trips, you won’t get lost.”

Chris, laughs to herself, ”Spoken like a true soldier I hope you’re not mad with me about what happened at the Planet?”

“Naw Chris its cool but y’all can hang here until Alice gets home from work.” For most of the afternoon, Tasha slept. It was a nice, deep sleep. She figured if Alice wanted attention, she better be ready. When Alice got home, she greeted Chris and Dee, who were watching TV and went to the bedroom. Alice kissed Tasha awakening her.

”Hey baby, I hope you got your rest, cuz———-.” Tasha looks at Alice and smiles.

“Dang girl, you’re like the energizer bunny,” together they say, ”Just keep going and going and going,” with Alice kissing Tasha in between the ”goings” to let her know she’s going to be ready for tonight.

“Well, you haven’t been exactly shy yourself.”

”Yeah, I know I guess I’m making up for lost time I mean you just don’t know how much you miss holding someone, just touching someone, it’s like something has been taken from you and you just hope and pray that you’re able to do it again, that you don’t die, before holding the one you love one last time.”

“Well I’m more than happy to be here for you so you can make up for the time away I love you, Tash.”

Tasha pulls Alice to her, kisses her, “I love you too what are those two doing?”

”You mean Chris and Dee they were watching TV when I came in I guess we need to go get something to eat.”

”I suggested to Chris that she and Dee stay at my place, give everybody a little privacy.”

”Ah Tash, they can stay here, it’s no problem.”

”Yeah,” Tasha continues, ”I just think it would be better if they were at my place.”
