on the table
and waited for Lizbeth to speak.
    “Okay, I
realize you're upset about our kiss the other day. You're probably wondering
what it meant, whether or not it was on purpose, and what it may mean for our
friendship. It meant a lot to me but it truly was accidental. I turned my head
to talk to you and it just happened. This doesn't have to mean anything for our
friendship, and it changes nothing unless or until you want it to, but I'll be
damned if I'm going to apologize for it,” Lizbeth said.
    Diandra was
frustrated. “You're my friend! That's all you're supposed to be. I was married
for nine wonderful years. My husband is dead ! You should know that- you
found his body, remember?” She immediately regretted being that nasty as she
watched Lizbeth's beautiful face pale.
    “How could I
forget? I still dream about the blood and the ice cream. I'll never forget
that, never, and you'll never let me! You constantly talk about him, sometimes
like he's still alive and just on vacation!” Lizbeth hated being cruel but
Diandra had pushed her too far for her to keep biting her tongue any longer.
Diandra started to speak but Lizbeth cut her off. “No, I'm sorry but you needed
to hear all this, and I needed to finally say it. I fell in love with you,
whether either of us likes it or not. I certainly don't. I didn't want
to fall in love with someone who is in love with someone else. I don't want to
compete with a dead man. I'm grateful that he made you happy, but he's gone now
and I'm still here. You're still here,” Lizbeth said vehemently.
    Diandra's face
was flushed with anger and confusion. “I didn't ask for this either, you know!
I didn't ask to be a 28-year-old widow! I didn't ask for you to feel the way
you feel, the way you think you feel. You don't love me. The idea is
ridiculous. It's probably just gratitude for helping you get back on your
feet,” she concluded lamely.
    Lizbeth got up
from the chair she was in to stalk over to Diandra. She got up close to look
her in the eye where she still perched on the exam table. “Grateful? Of course
I'm grateful, but I've worked hard to balance the scales with my friendship. I
know gratitude and this is not it. Hide your feelings all you like. Wrap them
about you like a shroud if it makes you feel better, but don't you dare belittle my feelings. While you try to hide from yourself, hide from this as
well.”
    Lizbeth leaned
forward and put one hand on Diandra's low back for support, then twined the
other hand into her hair and made a fist. Diandra moaned, parting her lips a
little to let the sound escape and Lizbeth pressed her mouth hungrily against
those parted lips. This time Diandra gasped, and Lizbeth took advantage of
that, too, using the opportunity placed before her to slip her tongue inside
the waiting mouth and play, tongue against tongue.
    Stricken,
Diandra could only sit there while Lizbeth passionately and persuasively
assaulted her mouth. Although new to Diandra, she knew no one had ever made her
feel so sexy, so alive, all with just a kiss. Tentatively she flicked her
tongue against Lizbeth's.
    A knock at the
door had the pair jumping apart guiltily. A moment later Lizbeth settled
herself in the chair once more as the doctor came in. They both knew they'd go
to lunch after the appointment was over and find a quiet booth. There was so
much to talk about. They also knew that kiss would not be their last. They
would continue that later as well. Both of them looked forward to this with
various degrees of excitement.

 
Chapter Six
     
    Diandra
received a clean bill of health, both for herself and her unborn baby. After
receiving her prescription for prenatal vitamins, she and Lizbeth decided to
walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch. When the hostess gestured for them to
seat themselves they chose a plush booth in the very back. Whatever was to be
discussed, they wanted privacy for it.
    The waitress
brought the two women a couple of glasses of water and a
