In Only Seven Days

by Nyxie

© 2001 Nyxie

Disclaimers: This story is based on the song, "In Only Seven Days", by Queen. My heroes. If you are a fan you might notice the last names, Taylor, May, Mercury and Deacon. My tribute, no infringement intended. The characters Raja, Traci, Rianne, and Ashley are mine, although the look like others… I'm making no profit from this.

Sex/Violence: Yes…sex. Alt sex, and if it bothers you then by all means read something else. It doesn't bother me that it bothers you… I could, frankly care less. Violence is referred to so if you are sensitive than please go no farther. If you are under 17 (just like the R-rated films) then go away and come back when you're old enough. The bard wants ID.

Language/Drugs: They drink beer and have potty mouths. In the eyes of my father, coffee is a drug and they drink that too. If you don't like it, then this isn't for you.

Hurt/Comfort: Depends on you're definition…This is a love story. It's the closest to Valentines Day as I get so enjoy please.

Thanks: Thanks to my betas Beck and Lu. Sorry, but it's not the "Cowboy" story. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ERIN! She got me "Turbo." It's the cutest little monkey puppet that makes noises when you close his mouth. "Turbo" is called "Turbo" 'cos he lives in my truck, and well…you really need to see they way I drive…hehe. On the other hand, no thank you Erin, you dragged me into "Victoria's Secret" and I hate that store. It's all girly and frilly… and expensive. I have a reputation to maintain! It's gone I tell you, a friend of mine saw me in there and she laughed at me. It's not an Amy (Nyxie) kind of store… I like the oriental one with the dragons. On with the story!

Comment: This Bard is getting "married" today… Kinda. Project…but none the less I am not the one who's gotta wear the dress…Erion does! J I'm off the hook, cept I get the Tuxedo. Oh well I make it look good. But in any case we're making leaps and bounds people! They're letting two girls get married in a school. And out wedding cake (I made it…I'm a tad domestic and a cook by night) Has Xena and Gabrielle brides on top of it. hehe!

-Prologue-

"Raj, you've gotta come! One week, and don't argue! You need to go!" Ashley pleaded with her best friend of nineteen years. Raja was, in her opinion, a hermit. For the last ten years Raja hadn't left the small town of Metuchen, New Jersey, for more than two days, once! That was half of her life, in the same place.

Raja growled. Ashley was her best friend, but she didn't want to go anywhere. "Ash, you know I can't afford to go anywhere. I have to be here." Raja explained.

"Bull-fuckin'-shit, Raj! I know how many paid vacation days you have! Twenty days Raja, you're goin'!" Rianne, Ashley's girl friend pointed out.

"How do you know?" Raja shot back.

Rianne rolled her eyes, "We're business partners. I take care of things like that!" She, Ashley and Raja had gone into business together a while back. They owned the "Phoenix Diner." Ashley and Raja were twenty-one and Rianne just turned twenty-five. She took care of the major stuff, Raja was the manager/cook and Ashley was a waitress and assistant manager.

"Busted!" Raja mumbled. She shook her head, "Fine, I'll go. Only for ONE week, just one. AND, you better not expect me to leave the house!"

Ashley grinned triumphantly, "Sea Side Heights, here we come!"

Raja smiled through gritted teeth, "Yah, here we come!"

-Monday-

10:39 AM and Raja, Ashley and Rianne were heading down the Garden State Parkway. Raja had to admit, it felt good to be away. She would have complete freedom for the entire week, with no standing commitments. She was in the passenger side of Rianne's Chevy 4x4, laughing at the antics of her two friends. They were all singing along with their Elton John album.

"Oh ma cameo molesting
Kee pa a poorer for tee
Solar prestige a gammon
Lantern or turbert paw kwee

Solar prestige a gammon
Kool kar kyrie kay salmon
Hair ring molasses abounding
Common lap kitch sardin a por floundin

Cod ee say oo pay a loto
My zeta prestige toupay a floored
Ray indee pako a gammon
Solar prestige a pako can nord…"

"God that song is ridiculous!" Rianne laughed

"So are you." Raja pointed out as she stretched out her legs. She looked over at Ashley. Her long curly hair was pulled back in a loose pony tail, her brown eyes merry. Raja suspected it was due to her victory over her. Rianne's long blonde hair fell in small ringlets around her face, her bright blue eyes were as expressive as ever. She smiled again noticing that Rianne's shirt was bright pink with a heart on the front. It read, "Love Goddess."

"Who you callin' ridiculous, stretch? You're the one wearing Tinky-winky boxer shorts!" Rianne stated. She shook her head at her tall dark friend.

"Tinky-winky? Really, Raj, I expected better from you." Ashley chided. She thought a minute and then added, "No I didn't. I remember you wearing Ninja Turtle boxers too."

Rianne sneered, "You wore Ninja Turtle boxers!?"

"Yah, so? Ashley used to wear underwear that matched the days of the week!" Raja blurted out!

"I was eight!" Ashley tried to defend herself.

Raja laughed, "You were eighteen!"

Rianne looked at the two of them. She threw in, "So? Some people need help remembering to change their underwear. Personally I am glad she remembers, even if she does need labels on them."

Ashley growled, "I don't need help! I can do it on my own!"

Raja grinned again, "Well I'm sure you could if you still wore underwear." She coughed, "Slut!"

Rianne laughed as she was used to the banter between the two. She commented, "I'm not complaining about the easy access."

Ashley growled, "I bet you're not. Ya know she doesn't own a pair of underwear that don't have hearts on them?"

Rianne blushed and Raja laughed, "You're kidding, right!?"

Ashley shook her head in the negative, "And my favorite pair are all pink, except this heart on the crotch."

"What so special about them?" Raja inquired.

"Don't do it, Ashley!" Rianne pleaded.

"You see the heart opens up right down the middle and those were the underwear
she wore on our first date…" Ashley explained.

"Rianne!" Raja laughed, "I told you to be nice!"

"I was nice…" Rianne shot back.

Raja smiled again, "Then how does she know about your underwear?"

"I can help." Ashley piped up, "She spilled coffee on her pants so I made her take em' off. She sat down and I got an eye full."

"Ri, you didn't!?" Raja asked as she started to laugh loudly.

"Shut up, or you're sooo dead, Raja!" Rianne yelled.

The rest of the trip passed in pleasant conversation. They finally got to the house and settled in. Ashley's parents owned the house, and gave them free use of it. They were thrilled when they heard that Raja would be going too. They thought Raja needed to get out more. After dinner, an episode of "Xena", ice cream and a walk down the beach they all decided to turn in.

-Tuesday-

Raja as usual was up with the sun. Rianne and Ashley too decided to join their friend at the crack of dawn. They sat around the table, Rianne with tea and Ashley and Raja with coffee. "So what do ya wanna do today?" Ashley asked.

Raja shrugged, "Beach?"

Rianne nodded, "Sounds good enough. Tan, castles, crabs…"

Ashley made a face at her girlfriend. "You pick up any crabs you're sleepin' alone."

Rianne spit her tea across the room, "Sand crabs!" she choked.

Raja chuckled at the two and shook her head. It was going to be a long day.

The beach wasn't full yet, so the trio settled in their choice spot. Rianne was sun bathing while Ash and Raja were making a sand castle. "No the walls need to be bigger!" Ashley said.

Raja looked at her, mouth agape, "Ash, the walls are up to my knees, and I'm six fucking feet tall!"

Ashley smiled, "Good point." she said as the went back to their work. An hour later they had built an enormous castle. They were proud of it, and it had drawn an admirer.

A short blonde sat on her beach towel looking between the marvelous castle and the marvelous woman beside it. She had been living here all her life, and had never seen anything quite like either of them. She thought, "I don't know what's more amazing, her or the castle." She noticed Raja put her arm around Ashley's shoulder and thought, "Taken, dammit!" Rianne pulled herself off the blanket and crept up behind Ashley, wrapping her arms around her waist she kissed her neck. She heard Raja tell them to cool it, but they didn't listen. No effort Raja picked them up and carried them to the ocean, one on each shoulder. She dumped them down and was pulled in, a water battle ensued.

Ten minutes passed and Raja was alone on her beach towel. Ash and Rianne went back to the house for sex. She looked up and noticed the blonde looking in her direction. She thought, "My gods, she's…wow! Down Raja…stay!" The blonde looked and smiled at her. Raja smiled back; she thought her heart would melt from just that smile. It was getting cold and Raja packed up to go, deciding that bed was the best place for her sun-burned ass.

-Wednesday-

Raja went back to the beach in search of the blonde. She couldn't find her anywhere, and her heart sank. She sulked back to the house and spent the rest of the day curled up on the couch with her best friend: Budweiser.

-Thursday-

Raja was walking along the shore, it was about 8:00 in the evening. The blonde caught her eye. "There are gods on Olympus!" she thought. There she was sitting all alone and Raja could think to do one thing. She walked slowly over to where the woman sat and smiled down at her. She looked down shyly, "Hi."

The blonde woman smiled up, "Nice castle you made. It's the best I've ever seen."

Raja bit her lower lip, "Thanks. What's your name? That's if you don't mind me asking."

The blonde smiled at the tall shy woman, "Traci Deacon, and you are?" she asked.

"Raja Taylor. Would ya like to take a walk with me?" she asked.

"I think I'd like that." Traci told her.

They set down the shore, "Where ya from?" Traci asked.

"Metuchen, New Jersey. You?" Raja answered.

"Here, I live here year around. I work in a bakery and design web pages. Love the nut bread." she commented. "How bout you?"

"Co-owner of a diner. I'm the manager and I cook." she said. The thought a moment, "You got anyone special in your life?" Raja was curious.

"No. Do you?" Traci asked.

"I haven't for a long while. Would ya like to come to the boardwalk with me tomorrow?" Raja asked. She blushed and regretted the decision. She didn't even know if Traci was batting for her team. She thought, "Smooth Raja. Maybe next you can chase her away with a baseball bat!"

Traci grinned, "Are you asking me on a date, Raja?" She thought, "Gods I hope so!"

"Yah, I guess I am." Raja replied.

Traci smiled and thought, "Thank you!" She had an idea, "How bout I meet you where the boardwalk starts tomorrow at seven. We'll wing it from there."

Raja smiled as they reached Traci's blanket, "I'd like that. Goodnight Traci." She said.

Traci smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips, "Goodnight, Raja. Until tomorrow." Raja flinched as if it hurt. That confused Traci, but nonetheless she had a date.

Raja walked home slowly that night curiously excited about tomorrow. She hadn't had a date in five years, so this was going to be interesting. She went to bed as soon as she got home. The quicker she fell asleep the quicker tomorrow would come.

-Friday-

"You're kidding, right?" Rianne asked Raja. She sipped her tea and cocked her head.

"No, I think I'd know if I were. I have a date tonight at seven." Raja informed them as she poured some more coffee. She made her way to the counter and pulled herself up.

Ashley smiled, "I told you, you'd have a good time, Raj. You've really gotta learn to trust me."

Raja smirked, "I haven't had a good time yet. However, if I do tonight I'll let you know…then you'll be right."

"You always have to be this difficult?" Ashley asked

"Naw, only for the last twenty-one years. Before that I was easy to please." She explained

"Smart ass." Rianne laughed, "Whatcha gonna do all day?"

Raja sipped her coffee, "Watch TV, get lunch, take a shower…"

Ashley shook her head, "Lame!"

"Well, what are you going to do today?" Raja inquired.

"Dunno." Ash and Ri said at the same time.

The day passed quickly for Raja; she decided on blue jeans and a T-shirt for this evening. She looked in her bag and pulled on fresh boxers, they had pencils on them. She found a pair of looser fitting jeans and looked for a T-shirt. She couldn't find one. She sulked out of the bedroom, "Ri, I need a T-shirt."

Ri and Ashley sat grinning like dumb animals, "No, Raj, I don't think you do."

Ashley grinned, "Nope Raja. Beautiful view." She didn't care who was there, she had always loved this about her best friend. She was always so…open.

"Come on?" Raja pleaded.

Ri got up and pulled Raja to her bedroom. "How's this one?" She held up her lucky baby t.

"Got anything not pink?" Raja asked. There was no way she was going to wear pink on a first date.

Ri dug around for a moment, "Baby blue?" she asked.

"Perfect!" Raja said as she pulled the shirt on.

Rianne shook her head and sighed, "Not perfect as before." They headed to the living room and Raja was attacked from both sides. Ashley kissed one cheek, and Rianne kissed the other. "Good luck tonight. Have fun, please?"

Ashley walked Raja to the door and gave her a hug, "Remember, she's not Kayla and she's not your father. She won't hurt you like that, so relax and have fun."

Raja hugged Ashley, "I know and I will. I'll see ya later, and don't wait up."

"You think we're gonna go to bed with you out on your first date in five years?" Ashley called after her retreating friend.

Raja walked down the street, the ocean breeze blew threw her hair. She saw Traci leaning against a railing; she smiled at the sight and approached. "Hey." Raja said.

"Hey yourself." Traci replied, kissing Raja's cheek; Raja jumped and looked a bit sheepish.

"Want some ice cream?" Raja asked as she carefully and cautiously took Traci's hand in her own.

Traci felt Raja's hesitation and closed her hand on the larger one, "Yah, lets get some ice cream." They headed toward the custard stand, hand in hand.

Raja looked at the menu and then to Traci, "What do ya want?"

Traci smiled, "Large chocolate cone, with sprinkles?"

Raja's eyes got large, "You want it, you got it." She looked at the guy behind the counter and said, "A large chocolate cone with sprinkles, and a small vanilla cone."

He got their ice cream and handed it over the counter, "$5.50, please?"

Raja paid the man and they made their way to a bench. Traci asked, "Not much of an eater?"

"Depends on what I'm eating…" Raja trailed off realizing how that sounded. She blushed and looked anywhere but at Traci. "Oh my gods, I'm sorry. That came out wrong, I meant what kinda food and…"

Traci smiled and cut her off, "Raja… relax. I know what you meant, and either way I'd kinda like to find out for myself."

Raja looked over at Traci and smiled a little, "Oh…I'm sorry I just kinda…" she trailed off again.

"Why don't we finish our ice cream and maybe go on a ride or two?" Traci suggested. She liked Raja a lot, she just didn't know why she was always so timid.

Raja placed a tentative arm around Traci's shoulder, "Sounds like a plan."

Traci and Raja ended up in front of a ride called "The Zipper." It was a rather large contraption that locked you in a crate and swung you in a giant circle, while spinning your crate. "You want to go on that? Traci, you're crazy!"

"Once. Come on, you might like it!" Traci pleaded; it looked like she was going to win out.

"Only if you let me pick the next ride." Raja compromised. She couldn't say no, and she didn't want to.

Raja and Traci got on rather quickly; the ride began. Raja looked positively petrified, while Traci was thrilled. As the ride progressed Raja's grip on Traci's arm tightened; she was not happy. She had tears rolling down her cheek when the ride finally stopped and were able to unstrap themselves. Traci was worried, "Oh gods, are you alright?"

Raja nodded as the color returned to her face; she had gone from an olive color to pale white in about ten seconds. She nodded, "Yah, I think I'm alright." She wiped her eyes and felt Traci's fingers running through her hair.

"Good, now lets get off of this thing. We can go on the carousel if ya want…" she chided as the got up and out of the crate.

Raja shook her head, "Lets go on the Himalaya…the thing that goes in circles really fast and plays music…"

"You wanna go on that?" Traci asked. She couldn't believe after this Raja would want to ride something like that.

"Yah. It may be fast, but I'm still on the ground!" Raja stated.

"Alright then, off we go!" Traci said as he put her hand on the small of Raja's back.

Raja jumped liked a frightened child, "Don't!" she yelped. She looked embarrassed, "Maybe I should go now, Traci. I'm sorry…I…"

Traci looked at the woman and smiled a bit, "Why don't you stay, and tell me what happened?"

Raja just frowned and said, "Look at my back…"

Traci lifted the back of Raja's shirt and her eyes got wide. There were at least twenty welt marks on her back; they looked rather old. Tracy growled, "Who?"

Raja looked down, "My father and Kayla, my ex. If ya think mines bad you should see my younger brother, Malcom. He took most of it protecting me, when we were young."

Traci stood in front of Raja and placed her hands on her cheeks, "Raj, I'm not your father, and I'm not Kayla. I don't want to hurt you. Now, why don't we go on that ride?"

Raja moved her hands over Traci's. She leaned down and kissed her forehead, "Alright, to the Himalaya!" she said.

They were waiting in line, Raja against a railing, Traci against Raja. Raja felt more at ease around Traci and was finding it a tad easier to open up. "Hey, looks like we're up." Raja told Traci.

"Let's go, then." Traci said taking hold of Raja's hand. She noticed that Raja didn't jump this time, only got a bit tense. By the time they got onto the ride and in their seat an Eurythmics song started. "Here Comes The Rain Again"

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

It started and they were both smiling and having a wonderful time. Raja and Traci held on to the handle bars and each other. It was like nothing else mattered to either of them.

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Raja thought to herself, "What did I do to deserve this kind of happiness? I never thought this could happen for me, not in seven days anyways. Maybe seven years… I'll never forget her, no matter what… I wish this could last forever."

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh

I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Traci looked over at Raja; she was smiling. Traci thought, "I want her in my life, but she's leaving…when? I don't want her to go…and I can't ask her to stay. Oh Gods you're all cruel!"

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

The song ended and so did the ride. They got off and stood looking at each other with quizzical gazes. Raja, surprisingly made the first move. She put her hands on Traci's hips and whispered in her ear, "Even if it's only till Sunday, I wanna kiss like lovers do."

Traci's hands rested on Raja's shoulders; their foreheads met. Traci whispered back, "Then kiss me, and we'll see about everything else." She felt Raja's lips against hers and Raja's tongue brushing against her lips. She decided it was time and let Raja in.

Raja's heart pounded in her chest as she pulled Traci closer. Finally the broke apart and Raja rested her cheek against the side of Traci head. "Oh gods, Traci, I really liked that."

Traci smiled, "Me too…Raja?"

"Yeah?"

Traci smiled, "Your place or mine?"

Raja grinned, "Mine…my friends wanna meet you."

Traci laughed, "Before or after?"

She and Raja headed back toward the house, and Raja laughed, "Whenever. Just keep an open mind, they're gonna prod you like a piece of meat."

"Great!" Traci laughed.

Raja opened the door to their house; the lights were on. "Raja Elena Taylor, tell me you did not cut off this date like you have the past thousand you've been on!" Ashley roared from the living room.

Traci looked at Raja and opened her mouth to speak, but Raja covered her mouth. "Ash, you know I hate dating, and yes I did cut it short!" she called at they walked into the kitchen. Traci saw two women looking at each other; obviously very frustrated.

"Raj, you've gotta stop this!" Rianne growled as she turned around. She saw Traci and smiled, "Ash, we've been had. Look, this one made it to the house!"

Ashley turned around, "Oh, wow. She's a keeper!" She got up and walked to Traci and poked her stomach, "Muscled…" She inspected her face, "Cute face, nice hair. Raj, you could get lost in her eyes." She pinched her arm as Ri got up to join the fray.

"Nice ass…" Rianne commented, "Definitely a keeper! Rianne Mercury."

"Ashley May." Ash said, "And you are?"

"Traci Deacon." Traci said as she looked up at Raja.

"Told ya so. Don't worry they do this constantly… you should see Malcom's girlfriends run screaming from the house." Raja snorted.

Ashley eyed Raja suspiciously. She circled behind her and looked down the back of her jeans, "Way to make an impression, Raj!"

Rianne rolled her eyes, "Tinky-winky again?" Ashley signaled for her to come around and look, so she did. "Oh, Raj, you didn't!"

"My favorites! Ri, you know I wear them once a week, they're lucky!" Raja whined

"We'll see about that…" Traci commented, "Yup, we'll see."

"Hey!" Raja protested, "Your idea!"

"Maybe after I see what's on you're underwear I'll change my mind…I mean Tinky-winky?" Traci asked

"I like her…" Ri stated

"Me too!" Ashley laughed, "Okay you two…seven minutes in heaven. We're gonna lock you in the bedroom for seven minutes and then open the door and see how far you got…"

"Get 'em!" Ri commanded. With a bit of effort the pushed the couple into the bedroom and locked the door.

"So you're sure now?" Traci asked.

"Sure, I'm sure. I've been sure since the minute I saw you…" Raja admitted.

"I'm sure, but I wanna see your undies…" Traci said. She slowly unbuttoned Raja's pants and stifled a chuckle, "Pencil Boxer's?"

Raja shrugged, "You saw mine, now I see yours…" She did the same and burst out laughing. "Where did you find those!?"

"Would you believe Sam's Club?" Traci asked, pleased that Raja liked her fashion sense.

"Yes, I have the boxers! Oh gods, it's Alf!" She giggled. Raja wasted no time after that, seven minutes passed and they were very naked on the bed.

The door opened and Ri and Ash stood, not believing what they were seeing. The quickly closed the door and went to finish watching "Hercules." It was a good night for Traci and a good night for Raja.

-Saturday-

"Spend the day with me?" Raja asked as she pulled on a pair of fresh boxers. They had just showered, together, and were getting ready to face Ri and Ash.

"Wouldn't be anywhere else, Raja." Traci said. She was wearing one of Raja's sweaters and a pair of her boxers.

"I'm gonna miss you." Raja said

"Me too, but I'll call you. We'll visit, and if you want it to it can work." Traci told her as she kissed Raja's neck.

"I want it to, Traci." Raja replied. She did want it to work, she'd never wanted anything more. They headed out the kitchen, "Coffee, second best way to wake up in the morning."

Ri asked, "What's the first…" She and Ashley were cuddling on a chair in the corner.

"Well I realized that her in my arms is, in fact, the best way I have ever woken up." Raja said shyly.

Ashley got up and refilled her cup of coffee, "For a six footer, you sure do go shy on us a lot."

"It's cute…like a really big puppy." Traci laughed

"Not the only way she can be compared to a puppy…" Ashley grinned.

Traci laughed, "Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?"

Ashley looked slyly at Rianne, Rianne at Traci, Traci at Raja, and Raja at Ashley, "You wouldn't!"

Ashley walked over to Traci and whispered something in her ear. Traci grinned and laughed, "Yah, and it's the cutest little sound too…like a whimper."

Raja blushed again, "You would."

Far to quickly the day passed. Raja and Traci spent it together talking and getting to know each other. They found they had a lot in common and they genuinely enjoyed the other's company. They walked on the beach, and got ice cream again. They went back to the board walk and went on the Himalaya again. It was a wonderful day. In the back of her mind Raja knew she was going back home tomorrow.

-Sunday-

"I'll call you when we get home." Raja promised. She held Traci close to her and kissed her softly.

"You better." Traci said with a grin. She returned the kiss and rested her head on Raja's shoulder.

Raja leaned her head down and places a lingering kiss on Traci's lips. She whispered against them, "I'll miss you."

Traci sighed, "I'll miss you too."

Ashley, Rianne and Raja got into the truck and headed home. Raja stared blankly out the window the entire way home; she was again unhappy. For a couple days she remembered what it was like to smile and be glad to be alive. She just felt lost again. Ashley and Rianne felt bad for their friend, and wanted to help. They couldn't…only Traci could.

-Epilogue-

The months passed and Traci and Raja talked every week. Neither of them could forget the other, but Raja couldn't leave where she was. Traci missed Raja too much, the phone bills were getting to be too much, and her heart was dealing with too much. They hadn't talked for a month and Traci finally decided that it was time to do something.

Rianne and Ashley sat in a booth going over some paperwork. They looked up at the sound of the bell and saw her. Traci was there; they couldn't belive it! "Gods, you're here!" Ashley grinned.

"Yah, I had to come…" Traci said.

A young man came running out of the kitchen, "Ash, you okay!? Who's that!" he asked.

"Chill Malcom…that's Traci." Rianne told him.

"Traci? Traci? Traci!? The Traci!?" he rattled out

"Yup, in the flesh…Where's Raja?" she asked looking around.

Ashley chuckled, "Home. We make her take Monday's off…I'll take you to her."

Raja was curled up in bed sulking. She didn't want to e bothered, not that it mattered, someone knocked on her door anyway. "What!?" she yelled

The door opened and Traci stepped in, "Company?"

Raja opened her mouth, "You're here?" she opened her arms and Traci made her way into them.

"I'm here, baby. I'm not leaving either, if you'll let me stay." Traci told her.

"You'll stay. I can't lose you again." Raja smiled as she kissed Traci's lips.

"Me either…I love you Raja." Traci said.

"I love you too." Raja said, "I love you, Traci."

The End!
