Alicia loved Ben

Alicia loved Ben. She loved him more than she had ever loved before. BUt he was strange. His skin, his voice. Unlike sue's. Her face was so happy, her skin was so soft. She reached up to touch Su'e smooth face, the soft lips of her smile. She pulled Sue in and kissed her mouth, closing her eyes and smiling.

She smelled like so many different things. She smelled like Reed, she smelled like vanilla. Alicia put her dark hands into Sue's light hair, kissing her again softly. She felt the cool breeze sweep over their bodies from the window. The wind blew against the soft curtains, and the curtains against their skin.

Sue brushed her hand against Alicia's bare thigh, kissing her neck lightly. Alicia smiled, placing her arms around Sue' tiny waist. Sue smiled into Alicia's neck, kissing her again.

"I love you."

Alicia pulled back slightly and faltered.

"You love Reed."

"I do. You love Ben?"

"I do."

"Do you love me?"

"I love you, Susan."
