After Michelle had ordered Carla to leave; Michelle found herself crying on the now slammed closed door. Her face was in her hands as she slid down.
How could she do this to her/em? Michelle thought to herself.
The fact she didn't know and found them out. The fact Ali is young enough to be Carla's son or whether it was something else she couldn't explain./p
Michelle and Carla had been close for years; having grown up together in the same area and Carla getting married to her 2 brothers. Michelle had always found Carla attractive and beautiful but never had it occurred to her whether it was just as

Michelle was in love with Carla!
She couldn't pin point when the line had been past. But it suddenly made sense with the way Michelle suddenly not able to keep her eyes off her best friend and her dreams were filthy and not included Robert in anyway.
