"Shit Rhetta!" Grace yelled, storming into her house and instantly grabbing a beer, her house littered with them.

Grace and Rhetta had been fighting for hours. Rhetta had continuously questioned Grace about her "last change Angel" Earl, after his disappearance for over 3 days now. Grace was in no mood to talk about him, but Rhetta kept pressing the issue.

"Grace come on! God has given you a second chance and your not even worried or upset about Earl!" Rhetta exclaimed, following Grace into her house.

"No you know what Rhetta. I couldn't care less about where Earl went. All I know is that he is finally leaving me alone and to that I say Hallelujah!" Grace yelled back, taking a long swing of the beer.

"I can't believe you!" This resulted in Rhetta grabbing a beer as well.

"Yeah well what can I say? I'm going to hell." Grace shrugged, her eyes cast at her beer, taking another swing of it.

Her last comment sparked something in Rhetta and she walked over to Grace, grabbing her beer and throwing it across the room, along with her own.

"Hey!" Grace went to exclaim and move around Rhetta when suddenly Rhetta had her pinned to the wall. "What the hell Rhetta?"

"Shut up Grace for once in your life! You may not care about your soul and where it will go when this is all over with, but I sure as hell do! You are not a bad person Grace. God has given you this chance and I'm sure as hell not going to let you fuck it up!" Rhetta practically shouted at Grace, all her emotions ready to surface, tears threatening to fall.

Grace was taken back by the outburst and the sad look on Rhetta's face. "Oh God Rhetta." Grace's arms were around her friend in a matter of moments, Rhetta's head buried in the crook of Grace's neck. "I'm so sorry."

"You should be. Making me cry." Rhetta mumbled against her neck.

Grace laughed lightly, leaning down to place a kiss on Rhetta's forehead. "It's a good look for you, very sexy."

Rhetta made a face and playfully slapped Grace's arm. "Jerk."

Grace chuckled, before softening. "I really am sorry."

"I know you are." Rhetta commented before stepping away, blushing. "Sorry I pinned you to the wall."

Grace laughed. "You wouldn't be the first."

Both women laughed and wrapped an arm around each other, taking a seat on Grace's couch.

"Oh and by the way, you owe me a beer."

Rhetta laughed and looked around. "I think you could spare two beers Grace."

Both let the room go quiet, each comfortable in each other's presence, their bodies pressed to each other like always, no words needed. Rhetta closed her eyes as she felt Grace's hands playing with her hair. Her hands wound through the soft, brown hair. Pulling gently on Rhetta's hair, Grace smirked as Rhetta's head fell back against the couch.

After a moment Rhetta sensed that Grace was watching her and she opened her eyes, gasping at how close Grace actually was. Grace had herself perched over Rhetta's lap, her face mere inches from Rhetta's.

Grace ran her hand down Rhetta's cheek, across her lips.

"What would you say if I were to ask to kiss you?" Grace asked quietly, her eyes locked with Rhetta's.

Rhetta's eyes widened and she fought hard to swallow. "Umm… Grace we shouldn't…" She was at a loss for words, her body aching for Grace's touch, but her mind telling her she shouldn't. She was a scientist after all, they were supposed to be logical.

"We've done a lot of things we shouldn't have." Grace opposed, her mouth moving closer.

"Grace…" Rhetta whispered, her head already tipping up closer to Grace's.

"Shh. It's just a kiss." Grace said before her lips touched Rhetta's. They slid across gently, barely touching, before pressing delicately together.

Rhetta hesitated before moving her lips with Grace's, the kiss long and sensual. Both taking their time to explore each other's lips, each knowing that this was wrong, but yet it felt so right. For the first time both women felt completely relaxed and safe, like they were finally home.

When Grace parted her lips, asking for entrance to Rhetta's mouth, Rhetta instantly met her tongue with her own. Their tongues sliding and tasting one another.

Once air was needed Rhetta pulled away and gasped. "Oh God Grace… I…" But yet again it was Grace who calmed her down.

"Relax Rhetta. It's okay." She gently placed a small kiss on her lips again. "This is okay."

Rhetta closed her eyes, tears spilling. "I'm cheating."

"No Rhetta, your not. With anyone else this would be cheating, but with me it's not. I know deep down you know that. I'm your best friend. We're aloud kisses."

Rhetta chuckled with Grace, knowing that she was right. She had to be, the kiss and the closeness felt nothing, but right.

"Grace… I love you."

"I know Rhetta. I know. I love you too."

Their eyes locked telling one another that if things were different, if Rhetta wasn't married, if Grace would ditch the guys, start over, then they could be together. Finally together.

No permission needed this time, Grace's lips claimed Rhetta's as her own.
