Her Safe Place

Janet <3

Toni and I stood in silence before before embracing each other the way we wanted to. Double checking around the house just to be extra sure that Mr.Braxton wasn't around we checked the house. Toni looked upstairs while I looked downstairs. Once I didn't see any sign of him I went upstairs to help her. She stood in the door way of her parents room.

Slowly I snuck up behind her and hugged her by the waist. Placing my head on her shoulder after kissing her cheek. It made her jump. But I only laughed.

"I've missed you so very much, Michele." I told her. She began to laugh as well.  She pushed me away gently, trying to get out of my grasped but I held her tighter.

"Jan, let go of now. You know how that makes me feel." I let her go and she turned around to face me in the door way. Putting my hands on each side of the wall I leaned in, inches away from her face.

"And that's exactly why I do it." I said with a sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and folded her arms.

"Oh yeah? Fine, two can play that game." Toni bat her eyes before walking towards me slow. I gasped and put my hand on my chest in fake surprise.

"No, don't do you dare. Toni Michele, you wouldn't."

"Oh no, Damita Jo. I think I would." And with that I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. Toni close on my heels. I could hear her laughing just as hard as I was.

"You can't get away from me, Jan!" She called out just before catching me in the living room. Pushing me onto the couch she straddled my waist so that I couldn't get away.

"No! No! Please I'm sorry!" I could barely breathe from all the laughing I was doing already.

"Too late, my friend" Toni started tickling me all over my stomach, and my waist. I hated that she knew I was so ticklish. She used it to her advanced the best she could.

"Okay, Okay! I give up! You win." I said, nearly dying from laughed. Toni laughed just as hard.

"Nope, revenge taste too sweat for me to stop." She did a fake evil laughed. I started tickling her back and she gave a high pitched scream.

"How dare you! This is outrageous." She said in between laughed. I struggled to get her off of me and she struggled to get out of my grasp. After a few more minutes of laughter I was too tired to even continue. One way or another Toni managed to pin my hands above my head. Her face was really close to me. Cutting her eyes, she let out a big huff. My body was starting to get really hot.

"I should sue you!"

"For what exactly, Michele?"

"You know what! Such foul treatment of your's." When ever Toni talked so properly I couldn't help but laugh, and she couldn't help but laugh with me. Than we stopped laughing and my body got hot again. I caught a small glimpse of her eyes and got lost in them. She backed her head up just a little. Allowing her to get a better view of my face.

Her hands still held mine above my head and she straddled my waist tightly. For awhile didn't talk, just looked.

"Uh, Toni?"
