Kaci stared at the message on her screen, unsure if or how to respond. [i]I should respond, he at least deserves that much. [/i]"Just come over whenever you like, I'll be in the bathtub." That's not what she had meant to say, but she had already sent it. She needed to relax and unwind. With a sigh, she shoved the phone under her pillow before rolling off the bed with a soft thud. A glass or three of wine would also be needed for this night of relaxation. If she was feeling especially frisky, she would take a shot. Maybe she would even snort some cocaine...or whatever the hell you were supposed to do with cocaine. Smoke it? Inject it? Kaci had no fucking clue.

[i]God, I'm so fucking boring.[/i]

She sat on the edge of the clawfoot tub, filling it with steaming hot water and many bubbles as the tub could hold. This would be the best night she'd had in a very, very long time. Well, other than that night she had with Solo a few days ago. Nothing could top that. Not even finding out that Jeremy and Moira were back together and Tallis was gone. Well, maybe that could top losing her virginity...

She had been ready to go since she got there, but Tallis decided against bringing that point up. "I'm ready now, baby, though I'd love to go out for dinner or something. Maybe we can go on a date that didn't involve strippers and blow. I could wear a dress and you could put on a tie. And I could take a cute ass selfie to post on Instagram." Part of what she said was meant to be nothing more than a tease, but she was serious on the rest. Tallis couldn't remember the last time they had been on a proper date, and she was almost sure that they had never been on one. Had they ever been on a date? Probably not. You never took your side chick places where they could be seen.

That's just the way things worked.

The knock at the bathroom door started Kaci, some of her wine sloshing out of glass. "Come in." It was Solo. Her heart sunk into her stomach, she had missed him a lot more than she wanted to admit. "Care to join me, Solomon?" The words came out sounding a lot more sexual that she had meant them to. In all honesty, she just wanted him close to her. To run her fingers through his hair or to rub his back. 

It was the little thing she had missed more than anything.
