Marty stepped out of the shower and Kit came in smiling at the quick look of shock spread over his face then he quickly recovered.  He wasn’t used to having someone in the house with him all the time; it was taking some getting use too.  It had only been a few days, and he did enjoy her constant company.

            “Hello handsome.”  She said as he dried off; and she smiled at his shyness.  He was rather cute when he was tired.  Her red rimmed eyes were droopy and had a yawn at this lips.

            “Hello beautiful.”  He kissed her neck as she pulled her toothbrush from the holder; looking at the reflection of the both of them in the mirror.  It was a striking pose, his pale skin to her dark coco complexion.

            “Coffee and cream.”  She whispered and he turned her around, meeting her steady dark gaze as she thought about her last comment.

            “Ok, that’s a new twist.  Does me being white make a difference in our relationship?”  He asked and she pulled him close, realizing they’d never talked about this before.

            “***** no, I was just commenting how well we go together.”  He laughed, he had worked an 18 hour shift at the hospital and he was burnt.

            “I’m sorry; I’m always edgy when I work over nights like this.  How about you call me around 1 this afternoon and wake me up?  We can have a late lunch?”  He asked and she shook her head no.

            “You are gonna sleep mister man and I’m gonna come home and make you a huge late supper, how’s that sound?”  He grinned and nodded, kissing her luscious lips and she slapped his ***** as he walked away towards the bedroom. 

            Kit turned and started to brush her teeth, looking at her reflection, smiling that she did indeed recognize the woman in the mirror.

            “I miss you baby.”  Alice said as she talked to Dana on her cell phone, and she heard the soft sigh of Dana on the other end.  Alice knew she felt the same way.

            “I miss you to; I wish you could have gotten the time off to come with me.  But that’s ok I can concentrate on playing and winning.”  Alice smiled she was heading to Milk for a late afternoon drink.  She was lonely in Dana’s house by herself.
