Adrianne was sitting in a chair in Kim's loft, inspecting her surroundings. It was a small place but nice. The door opened with the kitchen area on the right, the bathroom on the left and then the living area in front of three windows that stretched from the floor up ten feet but still didn't reach the ceiling. They over looked the quiet neighborhood and Adrianne took note that the center widow actually opened up to a little balcony outside. She could imagine the younger woman spending a lot of time out there for some reason. The 'bedroom' was up a set of stairs behind her.

Normani slowly strolled out of the bathroom, glancing back with every few steps. "She's hot." She whispered as she sat down in the matching black chair next to Adrianne. Normani had taken it upon herself to pick out the shy woman's attire for the evening. Adrianne had no complaints. She was beginning to wonder if Kim wore anything other than jeans. Not that she was complaining. She couldn't deny that she had just the right amount of curves and the jeans showed them off wonderfully. "I mean...seriously. She's hot. I think I might see if she'll take me home tonight."

Adrianne tilted her head and glared coldly.

Normani arched an eyebrow. "Jealous?"

"Not hardly. Go home with who you want, just not her. She's not ready for that. Tonight is about introducing her into this new world, not scaring her out of it. You're too much for her."

"And what about you?"

Adrianne shook her head. "I may have a softer side that would do better for her, but I'm not looking for a commitment. And even if I was, I'm not sure she would be the way for me to go. Her situation is similar to Lauren's and that is an exhausting road to go down. Although, she didn't yell at me like Lauren did."

Normani dropped her brow in defense of her friend and crossed her legs. "Lo comes from a very controlled environment. Her accepting something like that would make her very-"

"I know." Adrianne reminded her with smiling blue eyes. She had heard all about it. In many ways, Adrianne had become the photographer's venting post. Things were simple when they were friends. Lauren would tell her about things, but once they started dating and Adrianne tried to learn more about how Lauren was feeling about them...it turned disastrous. Every time Adrianne tried to open one door, it would crack open then slam back in her face and lock shut. She wanted to help her girlfriend move forward and forget the pain from the past, but it wasn't going to happen. That was on of the first things she learned about Lauren in regards to how she worked. There were just certain things that she needed to deal with completely on her own and in her own time. Pushing would just push her away. It wasn't what Adrianne was used to and it nearly destroyed them before they began.

Someone cleared their throat and Adrianne snapped out of her daze, turning around. "Wow..." She heard Normani snicker at her but she didn't look at her. Her eyes were glued to Kim. She was dressed in perfectly form fitting black pants that showed off the contour of her sculpted legs and rear and a sleeveless top that not only showed off her perfectly toned arms, but the surprising size of her breasts. They weren't too big, but they were nice.

"I told you." Normani whispered. "She's hot. Still sure you don't want to go home with her tonight? I wont be jealous...if you let me watch."

Adrianne rolled her eyes and stood up, composing herself as she put on her jacket. "Are you ready?" Kim nodded as she ran her hands down her arms in an attempt to cover herself. "Good. Grab your jacket and lets go introduce you to the ladies." And get me a drink because it is going to be a long and trying night. Adrianne told herself, hoping that she could preoccupy herself with Normani in order to keep her hands off of Kim. The woman was hot.
