'Help me.' The ghost spoke before Victoria. She was a beautiful young ghost, long blonde hair and in a gown. She floated atop of the stunning chandelier, and repeated herself.

'Help me.'

Her expression grew tired and worried, as she knew how the fate before her stood. Though, Victoria, the standing observer had but the slightest clue on what was going on. The ghost stepped towards the edge of the chandelier, looking down.

Growing impatient, Victoria spoke up.

'Help you what?'

Without an answer, the ghost let herself slip, falling into the ground, once more. Victoria stood in disbelief, staring in awe at the spot where the ghost just was.

'You okay?'
Victoria lightly gasped, shocked to see that Dr. Julia Hoffman was still awake at this hour.

'You look like you've seen a ghost.'

Julia walked closer, stepping into the light.

'I- I was just.. I couldn't sleep, that's all.' Her hands fell to her sides when Julia was fully in the light, seeing her chest politely revealed. Victoria grasped the edge again, trying to withhold her feelings for Julia.

'You know, I always have extra room on the couch, if you ever want to talk. Flexible office hours too.'

'I appreciate it.' Victoria swallowed hard, eyes boring into Julia's.

'But..?'

Victoria had to think of something quick. She did not want to deny the offer, no, but she knew if she were down there, something would happen. She might just slip her secret, or cave into her cravings. She couldn't go into the room of whom she admired most, could she?

'I just have a hard time trusting doctors. No offence.'

'None taken.' Julia shook her head slightly, took a deep breath in, fixating her eyes upon Victoria's lips.

'You know honey,' Julia let her hand softly play with Victoria's hair, seductively.

'At least everyone in this house has one big scary secret. Yours can't be all that bad.' With disappointment, Julia gave her one last look over, and left to go to her room.

Finishing the last of her wine, Julia slapped down her glass and looked at the time. It was 4am. Breakfast was at 10 am. She had to be up by 8am. Yawning, she stumbled across her office to enter her room. She couldn't help but knock over a few items standing on tables as she made her way across the room, mumbling and promising herself she will pick it up in the morning. Before twisting the door knob, she stayed put for a minute, letting herself think. What was it about Victoria that was so fascinating? She couldn't help but have… feelings for the girl. Laughing at herself, knowing It was probably just the alcohol, she opened her door to find Victoria, sitting there, on her bed.

'Victoria, what?' She looked at her confused.

Seeing that Julia was quite obviously drunk, Victoria rushed to her side, and grabbed her shoulders, leading her to her bed.

'I thought about what you said, that we all have our secrets, and I do have mine. And I would like to share them with you, when you are… less drunk.' Victoria laid Julia down, comfortably on the bed.

'Ah, yes, that can happen, I do suppose I said something of that sort earlier, yes.' Julia's words became more slurred as she spoke. Victoria nodded, and turned on her heel to leave for her room.

'No, Victoria! Victoriaaaa.' Julia sang, calling her back.

'Yes?'

'Can you sleep with me?' Julia's eyes, more intoxicated than ever, pleaded.

Victoria blushed at the bluntness of the question.

'Uh…'

'No, just sleep. Come on.'

Julia shuffled over, leaving Victoria room on the bed.

'I'll stay here until you sleep. Tomorrow we will talk.'
Victoria sat on the bed crossed legged, as Julia would mumble about something or other, slowly fading off into a deep sleep. That only left Victoria to examine Julia's profound beauty. Though she was older than Victoria herself, she still held youth in her face. Victoria, not thinking about her actions, caressed her face softly, running Julia's bright red hair behind her ear, revealing her face just a little more. She couldn't help but to let her eyes slip to Julia's breasts, seeing them expose themselves just a little. Victoria was repulsed at her thoughts, and got up quickly, before she would do anything further than just a glance.
