Life: Still
Altered – 4.02

            Everyone was gathered
around a long table in the modest back yard of Dana
and Shane house. 
Chatting, hugging, kissing cheeks, finally, they sat down, and an
attractive dark skinned, dark haired woman began to serve the prepared
dishes.  Wearing a pair of barely there
jean shorts, and a tank top that read, Kiss
The Girls.

            Daisy let out a low
whistle, leaning back in her chair to admire the view as the woman strode away
from her, Ro reached over, grabbing her girlfriend, and wagging a finger.

            No.  The table giggled, and Daisy pouted
sexily.  Her green eyes watching Rosita,
lips pursed, arms crossed over her chest, looking very much like Alice.

            I can look.  Daisy retorted, Shane
rested her head on Danas shoulders and they
kept laughing.  Tina
rolled her eyes, Cassandra cupped her face and shook her head, Bette
was watching the waitress also, who pivoted on her heels and addressed the
gathering of women.

            Im Carmen,
and Ill be waiting on you tonight.  If
there is anything else you need, before the next course, just let out a
bellow.  Carmen
said, winking at Shane, who winked back.

            What was that?  Tina
demanded of Shane, who winked at Tina.  Tina didnt
wink back, it was common knowledge that Tina,
couldnt wink to save her life. 
Cassandra giggled, in a rather good mood, things seemed to be going very
well for everyone.  Only Quin looked sad
at the end of the table, studying her fingernails with a distant look on her
face.

            That was me, getting
winked at.  Shane
said with a smile.  Dana
said through a mouthful of salad.

            We know Carm

            Ah.  Cassandra said, nudging Bette
to pass her the dressing, and Bette did.  Thanks.

            Welcome, so Dana,
what is this big announcement?  Bette
asked, eyeing a very stoic Quin, who looked uncomfortable in the seat next to
her.  Daisy was trying to get her aunts
attention, but Quin was gone to the world. 
Ro gently kissed Daisys cheek.

            Later, right now,
food!  Dana
said with a laugh, and they began to banter. 
Carmen came back, refreshing their wine,
and water.  She took her time, knowing
that more than a few of them were watching her every move, and enjoying it.

            Lara
said that the surf and tuff  Carmen
giggled, Will be ready in about, 20 minutes
