Gloria's POV:

It was a long week running around, taking care of Manny and Joe. Jay had been out playing golf for most of the week so he was never able to help out. I was so tired I just wanted to have a stress-free weekend. I knew that was impossible if I stayed in the house. I just wanted to go to a hotel and have a massage. Last time I went to a hotel I went with Claire but our plans had been interrupted because the boys threw a party.

"Jay, I'm going to stay at a hotel a couple days. Just relax a little." I said. Jay looked up from his newspaper and took a sip of coffee.

"Alright. You deserve a break you've been running around all week." He looked back down and took another sip. "When do you think you'll be back?"

"Sunday night. Do you think you can manage taking care of Joe and Manny? Do you need any help or anything?"

"I'll be fine. Just enjoy your time. Don't worry about us, we'll be okay." I nodded and proceeded to leave the room.

"You should invite Claire." Jay said before I left the room. I stopped and went back. I stared at him for a minute until he noticed.

"What? You two have been getting along lately. Why not invite her? I'm sure she would appreciate it."

"Uhh- I don't know." I said unsurely.

"Oh come on, I know she would like to have a break too." He started at me for a little as he tilted his head down. "You know you don't have to invite her if you don't want to but what's the point of relaxing if you aren't gonna spend time with someone?"

"I guess your right. " I picked up my phone and left the room. The phone rang for a while but then Claire picked it up.

"Hola Claire," I said.

"Oh, Hey Gloria I was just doing something," She paused. "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to a hotel with me and get a massage because-" Claire cut me off.

"I'd love to Gloria, I really would but I'm really busy this weekend and I have to do some work, and you know take care of the kids." She said. " You know how it is."

"Come on Claire we never go out together, just the two of us. I can't go out alone just come with me. Just for this weekend Claire," I said, "Pleassseeeee?"

"Alright, Alright I'll go with you," She said. "When do we leave?"

"I'll pick you up at 6:30 and then we'll be back by Sunday night. Does that work?" I said as I smiled.

"Yeah it works. I'll start packing up now. " she said. We said goodbye and hung up. I started packing my things up and headed to Claire's house. The only reason I didn't want to invite Claire was because we weren't getting along as well as Jay thought. Things with Claire were going really great until recently. I don't know what happened but it seemed to me that she was trying to distance herself from me. At least now we were sort of forced to connect again. Claire jumped in the car and greeted me. We made our way to the hotel and got there at 7:00. Everything was going smoothly until the check-in.

"Hi, how may I help you?" Said the receptionist at the counter.

"Hello, I just want to check in," I said as I pulled out my phone.

"Do you have a reservation?" He asked.

"Uh- Yeah its under Gloria Pritchett," The man started typing something in his keyboard.

"Ah, Yes, I found your reservation." He started. He turned around and handed me a key "Room 425. Enjoy the suite,"

"Thanks," I said as I took the keys from his hand. Then I realized what he had said. "Wait, the suite?" I said confused.

"Yes, ma'am." He said as he nodded. I looked back at Claire and she shrugged. "Is there a problem?"

"I reserved a room with a double bed. As far as I know, a suite usually only has 1 bed."

"I apologize but you reserved a suite. I would offer to switch rooms but the hotel is all booked up this weekend." He turned his computer to face me and pointed at my reservation.

"Is this not your email and phone number?" He asked. I felt someone tug my arm. I turned around and Claire moved her hand to call me over.

"Excuse us for a minute sir. " Claire said as she raised her finger. He nodded and put his hands to his side.

"What happened?" I asked Claire.

"You said this would be a relaxing weekend. Right now, you are starting to stress out. Let's just take the room. We are both grown, married women. We don't have to worry about sharing a bed. It probably a big bed since it's a suite." She said.

"Are you sure you're comfortable with us sharing a bed?" I asked her.

"Yeah, it's fine don't worry about it. Let's just take the room."

"I guess you're right." I said as I walked back to the counter. "I'll take the room sir." I said.

"Perfect. Room 425" He said as he smiled. We booked a massage for 11:00am and then me and Claire headed up to our room. The suite was spacious and it had balcony that overlooked the pool. The suite also had a fairly large bathroom. The suite contained a couch and a TV in front of it.

"This is better than any room with 2 beds isn't?" Claire said and chuckled. I smiled and nodded. We settled in and unpacked our things. Things were starting to become less awkward then they were a couple minutes ago.

"So what do you wanna do right now?" She asked while she was still arranging her clothes.

"I don't know I'm kind of tired so maybe we could watch a movie and drink some wine or something." I suggested.

"Okay, that sounds good." Claire said. She picked out a pair of pajamas and headed to the bathroom "You pick the movie and while I get changed." She said as she closed the door. Something was off about Claire this evening but I didn't know what it was.

Claire's POV:

I was excited when I got the call from Gloria when she invited me. It felt like we hadn't talked to each other in so long that it would be nice to hang out together again. It was technically my fault that we stopped talking but I had my reasons. Maybe not good reasons but I still had them. Before me and Gloria started to hang out I used hate being with her. She always tried too hard to try to get me to like her always liked being around her. It was different now. If I was being honest I always used to think that she was so funny and beautiful and that my dad really did hit the jackpot when he met her. I was sort of jealous, not of Gloria but of my dad. I had to admit that I always had a little bit of a crush on her. Who wouldn't? She was perfect in every way. She was the most beautiful woman I had every seen and she had this great personality. I thought that my dad liked her just because of her- well you know. And that Gloria only liked my dad because of his money. I had come to see differently. Even though I always blocked Gloria out she always seemed to try to get along with me. Oh and that accent. That accent could kill me. We started hanging out more and then I realized that I started to catch feelings for her. That was the reason I stopped talking to her. I figured if I stopped talking to her so much those feeling would had away but it only made it worse. I shook my head and quickly got changed into my pajamas. I left the bathroom and I saw that Gloria had been changing in the room.

"Oh my god Gloria, I'm sorry I didn't know you were changing in here. " I said as I tried turned away. I couldn't stop looking. She was so exposed and so close it was hard to look away. She noticed I was staring at her and chuckled. I turned away embarrassed with the image of her naked still in my mind.

"It's fine." She said calmly blushing. "You and I are both women you have the same things I do"

"Have you seen yourself Gloria? Have you seen me? I don't have the same things you do and you know that. " I said. She chuckled and blushed even more. We both kept quiet for a minute even though it felt like hours. I looked down with a shy smile curling by my lips.

"Are you ready to watch a movie?" I asked her. She nodded and handed me the remote. She sat on the bed wearing a white robe. I could see her tan legs spread across her bed. Calm yourself Claire. I thought to myself. Pull yourself together. Just get through the weekend and you'll be fine. Just relax. I picked a random movie that seemed like a good movie. I clicked it.

"This okay?" I asked Gloria. She nodded.

"Come, sit down" Gloria said as she patted her bed. I shyly sat next to her and got under the covers. We ate chips and drank wine as the movie played. Our hands brushing each other as we passed the bottle around. We finished the movie and I checked the time. 9:02pm the clock read.

"Are you going to sleep right now?" I asked Gloria as I got up off her bed.

"I'm not really that tired right now. Do you just wanna talk for a while?" She asked.

"Yeah sure" I replied. I sighed to myself and looked down. "Actually I think that I should go to sleep. I'm kind of tired and I really just wanna relax this weekend. " Gloria seemed a little bit surprised but I didn't know why.

"Oh- Okay. Goodnight then Claire," She said as I turned away.

"Yeah. Goodnight. If you want you can watch something on the TV I don't really mind," I said.

"Okay." Gloria said. She turned on the TV on and played a random movie. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I didn't know why. You know what? Screw it. I turned over to face and sat up next to Gloria the her bed.

"I can't sleep. You don't mind if I watch something with you do you?" I asked. She shook her head. "I am also gonna open another bottle of wine if you don't mind," I said as I got up and got it from the mini bar.

"Don't mind at all." Gloria said. I got up and opened the bottle I poured a glass for me and one for Gloria. I handed one to her and got back under the covers.

Gloria was halfway through the movie but I didn't really care. I wasn't paying that much attention to it. The movie a rom-com about girl couples but I think but I was just there to sit next to Gloria. There was a scene in which two girls start making love and I awkwardly looked down. I cleared my throat and I Gloria got the hint. She skipped forward in the movie. That image was still in my mind though. A part of me wanted to do it with Gloria. Even though I was married, and she was married to my dad, I still wanted to do it with her.

A couple minutes later the credits start rolling. I don't move though. I sit still right next to Gloria's.

"Well, I think I'm gonna actually try to sleep this time," I said. "Goodnight," I say as I turn around and lie down. Before I was even able to she grabs my arm and I turn around and make eye contact with her.

"I need to tell you something." She said. Oh no, Claire hold yourself together. You can do this. I thought to myself and I took a deep breath.

"What is it?" I said leaning in closer to her. Gloria looked at me with a glance I never thought I would see from her. I could feel her leaning in too. I could feel her breath on my lips. She placed a soft kiss on her lips. Her lips were so soft and amazing. I broke the kiss and looked down as our foreheads touched. Gloria leaned in and placed her hands on my cheeks. She kissed me again passionately. I kissed back. What had I done?
