“Hey Bette do you have any more chairs?”

“No, what you see is what you get.”

“Damn, ”Alice says to herself. She didn’t want to sit on the ground because it was wet from the water moisture. Reluctantly she walks over to where Tasha was laying down.

“Can you sit up so I can sit down, “Alice says dryly.

Tasha stares at her.

“Tash seriously can you please sit up so I can sit down?”

Tasha looking up at her not saying a word swings back the covers signaling for Alice to lay down on top of her. Taking a deep breath, “Fuck, “she says to herself. The physical contact alone she knew she was in trouble. It was like giving an injured baby seal to a killer whale she didn’t stand a chance.  Knowing Tasha she was laying down on purpose.

“Al hurry up and sit down your blocking the movie, “Kit says.

Not having a choice Alice with her back towards Tasha climbs in between Tashas legs with the back of her head resting on her chest. Once she got comfortable Tasha covered her with the blanket.

“Don’t touch me I’m still mad at you.”

She felt Tasha body shake.

“Hey stop laughing I’m serious don’t touch me.”

“How do you know I’m laughing?”

“Because I know you.”

“Yeah your right I was laughing but that’s because I have to touch you.”

“No you don’t.”

“Yes, I do this couch isn’t that wide enough I need to wrap my right arm across your stomach.”

“You’re such a liar you will come up with any excuse just to touch me.”

“It’s not an excuse I have no place to put my arm.”

“Okay you know what Tasha fine but that’s it don’t try any funny business.”

“Who me engage in funny business, “Tasha says sarcastically.

“Yes, especially you.”

Tasha smiles down at her wrapping her arms around her. When she did Tasha lifted Alice a little higher to where now the side of her head was leveled to hers.

“Tash, “Alice whispered.

“What?”

“You know what.”

“Al, I had to shift you a little bit that’s all.”

Ignoring Tasha Alice reaches for her drink and takes a sip. When the Vodka and Pineapple juice hit the back of her throat she relaxes a little bit more. She wasn’t even paying attention to the movie when she looked at the screen Sharon Stone was sitting in a restaurant with Robert DeNiro crying. Everyone else around them had either fallen asleep or was too tipsy to watch the movie. The only people that were up were Kit and Carmen and they were very much into the movie.
