Grace kicked a box into the elevator and dropped the one she was balancing on her arm as she climbed in. She sighed and leaned back against the side. She looked over her treasures. More stuff from Grandma's house. Will was going to flip!

"Hold the doors!" someone shouted.

Grace jumped up, shocked at first, looking for the fire, then she threw her purse into the doorway, just as the doors were about to close.

They opened again and a pretty blond woman stepped in. "Gosh! That was so close. Thank you so much! I couldn't bare to wait for the elevator." She smiled, perfect white teeth, perfect innocent smile. For a moment grace thought she saw the newcomer wink…

"No problem…" Grace said taking in the woman. She had a perfect figure, wore faded jeans, a white, knitted sweater and a straight cut black leather jacket. She had her honey blond hair tied back loosely. Her eyes were blue, and her perfect nose was covered in light freckles.

"Jessica Kenton." She purred and held out a perfectly manicured hand.

"Grace Adler." She shook the outstretched hand. Grace picked up her purse and hit button nine. The doors started to close.

"No way!" Jessica said. "You live on the ninth floor too?"

Grace's eyes ran over her slender thighs before she mentally slapped herself. She had no reason to be insecure about this perfect, drop-dead gorgeous blond. All the men in her life were gay!

"Yeah."

"I just moved in, down the hall. 9E."

Grace decided she could befriend this new woman. "I live in 9B, just across the elevator."

"With that handsome guy with the black hair?"

Grace smiled inwardly. "Yes."

"Aw, hunny, your husband is so totally gay!" Jessica said sincerely.

Grace laughed. "He's not my husband! I know he's gay! How do you know though?" the idea of a woman hitting on Will made her smile. The idea of a woman hitting on the man she obviously thought was Grace's husband made her want to puke. If any woman was going to have him, it was her!

Jessica shrugged. "Gay-dar."

The doors opened. Grace started to push her boxes into the hall. Jessica picked the largest one up. "Need a hand?"

"Thanks," grace said and led her into the hall. As she fiddled with her keys, she couldn't help feel uneasy. Jessica's eyes trailed over her body, they seemed to delight in the way her leg muscles moved as she strained to keep the box up.

"You have great hair." Jessica said softly.

"Wha…" the door swung open.

"Where can I drop this?" Jessica asked, her eyes scanning what she could see of the apartment from where she stood.

"Don't drop it, but you can put that down on the next to the fire-place." Grace giggled and let out a pig snort. She raised a hand to her mouth. Jessica laughed lightly and gently placed the box down.

She made her way to the door again and paused. "Do you, like, want to come over for coffee sometime? I make a mean cappuccino…"

Grace nodded. "That would be great."

"Cool," Jessica started to close the door. "You now where I live, so, anytime you're free…"
