“She said she was happy for me, too.”Octavia took a long breath and let it out in a sigh, calming down still further. “I think she was worried I...’d get rid of her and the rest of my family or something. I think, even if we last a thousand years in the stars, we’re still going to fail to see that love isn’t finite – it can get bigger but never smaller.”“It’s a human thing, to worry someone will stop loving us or leave us,” Dervish observed. “She loves you.”“And I love her,” Octavia sighed. “I. And so young too," she added."Sure Adelle," replied Charles, "but hey, she's been trained for this since Elementary School. She ought to know all about fame and stardom and all that shit." Maybe," replied Adelle, "but how can anyone prepare for what she's been through?" Ain't no-one around her now," Charles shrugged, "'cept, you, me and Robbie here. And he won't say nothin', will ya Robbie?" I don't fucking know what you're talking about," Robbie replied, genuinely."See, he don't know nothin',". He told me that she'd had a very rough life and hoped it would improve.He did say that my being white had nothing to do with it. Apparently, his father was white and his mother black, so he knew how hard it was for a mixed race person to find acceptance by either race."Mr. Brown, I'm not a racist. I do my best to treat all people the same. Aliana was never black or white to me. She was always just my friend while we were growing up."Sir, let me assure you of one thing. I would never do anything. He simply slipped his knob between mylips, and I became to suck gently. And then I was blowing him. And it wasgood.Both times.* *I woke up in a heap. I was sprawled out on the spare bedroom, my skirt hikedup to my stomach. I could taste last night's lipstick. I had on one heel,but I had no idea where the other was. My butt hurt. My face was sticky. Iwobbled toward the bathroom in the Sissy Walk of Shame.I started the shower and dug for some headache powders.Then Ginger came in, smiling as ever..
