She'd been forty one years old back when Dino had first picked her. They'd been hard years back then, and Erica had needed to use her body, many times..., just to try to keep a roof over her head, and food on the table for her, and her two teen aged children. Her kids had both been too old to qualify to be extracted with her when Erica had been picked up, but Erica didn't really miss having them underfoot all the time.For Erica, these last six and a half years had been a big improvement over her. This year her birthday was a Saturday so they were coming Friday and Saturday nights. You probably think I'm a sucker for punishment having four screaming teenagers but I figured they would all be up in Trina's room so I wouldn't get too harassed. Hah!Having just moved in things were slightly hectic but the extra girls actually pitched in and helped moving stuff around. Two of them had been to Trina's sleepovers before, Stacey; a pixyish little lass with an infectious laugh who was always the. “Ooh go back! Lets watch that! Put it on Monsters Ball.”“Monsters Ball? Whats that? It sounds stupid.”“Trust me, you'll definitely like it,” she said grinning.I flipped it to the movie about five minutes in, and noticed that Halle Berry was in it, ok now I had a reason to watch it. It started off really slow but then started to pick up a little.“You two don't even feel guilty about doing this to us do you?” Aunt Lisa asked out of nowhere.“Nope, not in the slightest. After all the things you did. We went shopping in a mall I haven’t been in for 20 years. We all went our separate ways to get ready for the nights festivities. The organizers planned a dinner and dance so we were to arrive early evening. The weather was warm so I was glad I had some summer style clothes with me. I wore a knee length wrap skirt, a tight white tank top, matching white lace bra and panty set and 4 inch pumps. I remember looking in the mirror on the way out thinking to myself that I look pretty damn good.
