Tasha

Today's Halloween! Tonight's the Tunnel club will host a Halloween Party Bash.

And I'm excited to show off my sexy costume.

I forgot to pick it up last Friday as my mind was somewhere else. Bonnie drove me to the post office during our lunch hour on Monday. Oh boy, she wanted me and my friends dressed up in our 'SEXY' costumes. Drive come to her place before we leave for the Halloween Bash at the Tunnel Club.

And I told her no because we girls are going to give her husband a heart attack if he saw what we are wearing. I told her too that I'll be taking lots of pictures of our costumes.

This past week I've been feeling off like I'm having major PMS symptoms. I've been craving a lot of salty foods like pretzels, salt, and vinegar chips, and all kinds of Tostitos chips. My boobs are a little tender and my nipples are sensitive to touch. I'm really bloated, which makes me look puffy in the mid-section, and wearing loose shirts or blouses to cover my bloated stomach.

I've been cramping a lot since Sunday afternoon that meaning that I'm going to start my period soon.

Also, I'm so tired that I go to bed early usually I go to bed around midnight, but this has been so weird.

Maybe my body is going through something? Or that my hormones are going out of wrack?

Who knows?

This morning Mr. Lee and Stacey are coming at nine am. We have a lot to talk about and there's going to give us some good and bad news. So hopefully she'll stay calm when I tell her the news.

Parking my SUV in the parking lot, I walk my way over to Starbucks to grab my usual.

Then made my way over to the Lawyers building to get ready for my appointment.

"Good morning, Tasha," Bonnie asks me.

"Good morning, Bonnie see you at lunch," I replied to her. I waved her goodbye.

As I got out of the elevator and made my way to the front desk.

"Good morning, Janise anything for me?" I ask her.

"Yes, I have two messages and one letter for you." She passes me the two notes and a letter.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, Tasha."

I walk into my office and turn on the lights. Close the door put my hot drink and my breakfast wraps on my desk. Turn around to put my purse and my black coat on the coat hanger.

I bounced to my desk to eat the delicious wraps that I've been craving for the past couple of days.

After I devour them, I quickly went to the staff's bathroom to wash my hands because it was a little messy. Once I got back, I went to the filing cabinet to grab Stacey's file, then grab a notebook and a pen.

Waiting for five minutes until they came. I tilled my head back that it was resting on the chair.

I heard the intercom come on.

"Excuse me Miss. Ford; Mr. Lee and Miss. Lance are here for their nine o'clock appointment with you." Janise said through the intercom.

"Send them in Janise. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss. Ford."

Here we good, I thought to myself.

I heard a knock on my office door.

"Come in," I said.

The door opens to Mr. Lee and Stacey.

"Good morning, Miss. Ford." Mr. Lee asks me as he holds the door for Stacey.

"Good morning to you too," I said to him.

He and Stacey walk towards my desk and sat in the chairs.

"Hey Tasha, how's it going?" Stacey asks me.

"I'm doing fine, thank you and how have you been doing," I ask Stacey.

"I've been good Tasha and I've kept my promise to you."

Mr. Lee and I have been phoning the group that she was staying in and she's been doing good, obeying the rules, and last week she went to school. She'll be a little behind, but she will catch up. All she needs to do is focus on her education.

"That's what I like to hear."

"So, what's the verdict here?" Stacey asks me and Mr. Lee.

"Well, we have good and bad news Stacey, but Miss. Ford will tell you." Mr. Lee said to Stacey. She frowns her face at him then looks at me for answers.

"Do you want the bad news? Or the good news first?" I ask her.

"The bad news," Stacey said. She was biting her bottom lip.

"Well, I talked to my supervisor last week about your request to take you under my roof. He said that if I took you under my roof, then I can't be your lawyer anymore and we talked about it some more. We agreed together that I will be your lawyer and I want to keep that crazy bond that we have together Stacey. I mean, I don't want to lose you as a client. We have this amazing friendship and I love you like a sister." I said to her.

She kept quiet, not saying anything. Looking at her lap, playing with her fingers and I think she's a little upset.

"What's the good news?" She whispers to me.

"Would you like to tell her Mr. Lee, or shall I?" I ask him.

"You do the honours, Miss. Ford." He said to me.

Okay, here it goes. Wish me luck.

"Mr. Lee has been looking through families that are looking to adopt and, well, we... I mean, Mr. Lee found a family looking to adopt a girl. No matter what age she's in and they pick you, but ... "I knew she was going to cut me off.

"But what Tasha?"

"They have three children that are living with them."

"What are their ages and genders?" She asks me.

"They have two girls, and their ages are ten and two. The boy is seven." I said to her.

"Are you okay with other kids, Stacey?"

"I don't know Tasha."

"Stacey, they are going to love you like a big sister they never had and trust me, Stacey. Please give this a chance and if it doesn't work out, I'll take you under my roof. I said to her, hoping she gives this a chance.

"Fine, I'll give them a chance Tasha and Mr. Lee, and thank you guys for doing this." She was trying not to cry in front of us.

I got off my chair, went around my desk and she got up too and I hugged her.

"Remember that I'm still taking you shopping when your settle in your new home and new family. Okay." I whispered into her ear.

"Okay," Stacey said, as we let go of each other. I stand next to her, she's practically an inch taller than me.

"So, when do I meet these parents or the entire family?" She asks Mr. Lee.

"We'll be going to meet them for lunch Stacey."

"Really, I'm nervous, wh-what if they don't like a juvenile in their home or around their kids?"

"Stacey, I think they don't care about your background," I said to her.

I was wiping away the tears that were coming out of her pretty eyes. I smile at her, and she did the same.

We chatted until my next appointment came. Stacey and Mr. Lee left about an hour before they had to go meet her soon-to-be family for lunch. I told her not to be nervous and try to be herself.

It was a beautiful hot sunny afternoon. Bonnie and I were down by the bay to check out the different food vendors.

"I need something salty to eat," I said, looking at the different food vendors they have here.

"Girl, you've been craving that shit for the past week, it's going to damage your youthful body." Bonnie may be right, but I don't care.

"I know I just can't help the craving an-" Bonnie cuts me off.

"Are you pregnant Tasha?" She blurted out.

"What? NO! I'm not pregnant! I've been having major PMS symptoms right now, and it sucks."

"Okay, whatever you say, but I think you are. Did you ever see him wrap his ding-dong Tash?" Of course, she knows because she has five children.

That got me thinking for a second.

"No, I did not see him wrap his thingy; maybe he threw the condoms in the toilet and flushed them." I mean, I do not know what he does with them, but I'm pretty sure we used condoms.

"How many times did you two do it?" Bonnie said that out loud and people around us were looking at us.

I got embarrassed which made my face turned red and I hid my blushing face with my hands.

"Hush Bonnie, you said that out loud," I whispered to her.

"We did it once." I lied to her. Next thing, she elbows me in my arm.

Ouch, that hurt. I was rubbing my sore arm. Man, she hits hard.

"Okay fine, we did it four times." I hope that makes her happy.

"He must be good then if you guys did it four times."

"Oh my god, Bonnie, enough of talking about my sex life."

"I was wondering if he can stretch my old legs for me." She smiles and chuckles at me.

Oh my god, Bonnie, the words that are coming out of her mouth.

"Oh lord, Bonnie, does Frank know you talk dirty?"

"Oh yes, he does."

I didn't need to hear that.

"Okay, that's enough talking about sex."

"Okay fine, you know I was just messing around with you Tasha."

"Yeah, I know, but sometimes you go a little too, too far."

"Okay sorry, Tasha." I nodded at her, and Bonnie gives me a side hug.

"Have you heard from him yet?" She asks me.

"Nope, the last I've heard from him was last week, but he must be busy with his firefighter's training," I replied to her answer.

"Now let's go eat I'm starving." I'm so hungry right now.

Bonnie went to go Taco-in-a-bag at one vendor while I was standing in line for a large order of salt and vinegar but with extra salt. I waited for five minutes for my large fries.

We found a picnic table that was empty by one of the food vendors. I say across from Bonnie. We talk about everything except for anything that has to do with sex. She had me taste her Taco-in-a-bag, and it was damn delicious, and I was so close to trading with her, but she gave me the eye look like 'that's mine bitch'.

Finally, our lunch was over, and it was time to head back to the office. We took our sweet time walking and enjoying the heat. Having chats on the way there.

****

Once I got home from work, I took a nice long shower to relax my muscles. Listening to the radio from my iPhone to my wireless speakers that were on my counter and singing to every song that was coming on.

I got out, dried myself, and went into my bedroom, leaving the towel on my head. I applied lotion on my skin and wore a red lace thong to match my outfit along with a pair of black shorts and a red tank top and, of course, a red bra.

Walking back to the bathroom to take out the towel that was on my head. Brushing my wet hair and putting the towel back on my head, then heading downstairs to unlock my door so my friends could come in.

My friends are coming in a cab together to meet at my house because I will not be drinking again. Which is fine, I mean I watch out for them.

I went back upstairs to the bathroom to take the towel off my head and brush it once more and then I heard a knock, and the door opens.

"Hello, we are here Tasha," Rachel yelled from downstairs.

I made my way downstairs to greet them. I see that they have big bags of their stuff with them.

"Hey, girls, how's it going?" I ask them.

"Well, you know I'm doing well but busy at work." Rachel said.

"I'm good," Rikki said.

"I'm doing fine. I got over this cold last week." Tammy said.

"Now let's order out, I'm starving," Leona said.

She has read my mind.

We all agreed to order pizza and made Leona order it. She ordered three large pizzas; the first one was pepperoni and bacon, the second one was Hawaiian and the third one was meat lovers. Oh, and a two-liter of Pepsi.

The girls went to bring their bags upstairs while I stayed down here just in case the delivery man shows up.

I heard lots of doorsteps coming down. And the girls entered the kitchen.

"So, when does this party bash start?" I ask Leona. Because she's the first one to find out everything before we do.

"At nine p.m. Miss Tasha." Leona said.

"Did everyone shower before we came?" Rachel asks the other three.

"Yes." Tammy, Rikki, and Leona said at the same time.

"Okay, good because it will be awhile for us girls to get ready." Rachel said.

We talk for a bit until we heard a knock on my front door. Rikki paid for the yummy pizzas. We all thank her for it. Leona grabbed the pizza from her and went to the kitchen to put it on the table. Tammy was pulling out five big black plates for our pizzas to go on and Rachel put out five glasses from the top cupboard.

I put two pepperoni and bacon on my plate and poured Pepsi into my glass cup and went to the table. I sat down, waiting for the other girls to arrive at the table. Rachel and Tammy sat on either side of me, Rikki sat beside Rachel and Leona was next to Tammy.

"Here's to us having an awesome time with my bitches. Cheers." Rachel said a gracious speech to us.

"CHEERS." We all said and clinging our glasses to each other.

****

"HURRY TASHA." Tammy was yelling from downstairs.

I guess the girls are done and ready to go.

Putting on the final touches on my makeup and then adding some hot red lipstick on and making sure my outfit is on right.

I grab my red boots and my purse off my bed, open the door, and then headed downstairs.

"Oh my god, Tasha, you look sexy," Tammy said.

Tammy was dressed as a sexy bat woman. She had what looked like a black corset top with the bat logo in the front of it and a black skirt with long black boots.

Rikki was a sexy superwoman. She had a red and blue corset top with the 'S' logo on the front and a short blue skirt with red ankle boots.

Rachel was a sexy cat woman. She had the whole spider web corset top with a deep blue skirt and blue high heels.

I was dressed as wonder woman. I had the corset top with a red skirt and my long red boots. That headband that goes on my forehead.

"Wow, you girls are sexy, and we are showing a lot of cleavages." I said to them.

"Damn straight we are," Leona said.

We took I don't know how many pictures of us and then we headed to the club. They were some awesome costumes waiting in line.

****

After waiting in line for ten minutes, we finally went in. The place was crowded. The girls were making their way to the bar and getting their alcohol. I waited until I got thirsty. I notice some guys were eyeing me up and down. I have them a smile and a little wave. They winked at me and moved into the crowd.

There were a lot of neat and scary costumes. I mean, some of them looked real.

The girls came back from the bar and walk towards me with drinks in their hands.

"Let's dance," Leona said out loud.

Following Leona into the crowd and finding a spot to dance. After dancing to a couple of songs, I needed to go to the bathroom fast.

"I got to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I whispered into Rachel's ears, and she nodded.

I got that feeling that something was following or watching me. I walk fast to the ladies' room and thankfully it was not busy. Once I finished my business, I opened the door and walked out.

"Hey there beautiful I've been watching you." a creepy voice came behind me and I could feel its breath on my neck.

I walk fast, but a strong hand grabs my left wrist and pulls me hard into his chest. I look up to see who it was and the man was wearing a face mask that covered part of his face. It looked like he was wearing a white cowboy hat.

"Let go of me, asshole," I said, trying to struggle out of his grip.

"Now Tasha, that's not a nice way to talk to a firefighter." He lets go of my wrist.

"Damn you C.J you nearly gave me a heart attack." I punched his chest and then pushed him away.

C.J

"Okay, I'm sorry Tasha, but you got to admit it was funny." I chuckled at her.

"Well, it might be funny to you, but it wasn't for me." She was trying to act all mad at me.

"You know you're cute when you're mad, Tash."

When I first saw her come into the club, she looked so sexy in that Wonder Woman costume. I could tell that was her because of her petite height and her gorgeous smile that I liked. That corset top was showing her delicious curves that I'll be seeing soon. It was pushing her boobs together nice and tight. Showing a lot of her cleavage and I can't wait to grab them with my hands and suck on her sweet, soft nipples.

"Whatever .... What are you dressed as?" She asks me and moves away from me to get a better look at my costume.

I turned in a circle so she could see my costume and guess what I was.

"A hot cowboy?"

"Close, but you know that movie The Lone Ranger?"

"Yes, I do." She nodded her head.

"Well, I'm John Reid ma'am," I said in a southern accent but more cowboy accent. Tipping my hat just like a cowboy does.

"Well, I'm Wonder Woman." She said in a soft voice and presses her chest against me.

I think I'm falling for Tasha, but another woman is waiting at home for me. I don't know what to do. If Greg finds out that I hurt Tasha, he'll put a bullet through my heart.

I put my hand on her waist, and I dip my head to reach her luscious red lips.

"You're going to have red lips, you know." She warned me.

"I don't care."

"O-" I cut her off by putting my lips onto hers.

I place my hand at the back to bring her closer to me and I place my other hand on the side of her face. I could feel both of her arms around my waist, holding me tight. I didn't know how long we were making out, but she stops and looks at me.

She laughs at me.

"What," I ask her.

"Well, let's just say that my red lips were lip raping yours."

"You can lip rape them anytime."

"I'm going to go back to the ladies' room and wipe the smeared lipstick off and I'll meet you here."

"I might as well go get this off."

We went our separate ways to the men's and women's bathrooms. I walk into the bathroom and go towards the mirror that was above the sink.

Holy shit, I really have smeared red lipstick around my mouth.

I grab a couple of brown paper towels from the wall where you must pull them out. I wiped off the red lipstick that was around my lips.

It took a long to wipe it off but finally did after using three paper towels and I threw out them in the garbage.

I look in the mirror to make sure I got it all off. Not a sign of red on me.

I opened the bathroom door and walk out. I couldn't see Tasha at all.

"Boy, you took so damn long that I might go in there and drag you out myself," Tasha said right behind me. I turn to see her standing in front of me.

"Sorry, the red lipstick wasn't coming off."

"It's okay. When did you get back?" She asks me.

"I got back yesterday morning."

"Well, I'm glad you're back and safe. How was training?" She asks me.

"Training was good. We mostly did a lot of exercise in different situations and had to work hard. It was tiring, but we had to suck it up."

A firefighter is a life-or-death job. They will risk their lives to save another life that needs it.

"You still owe me a drink, remember?" She pokes my chest. Ouch, she has a strong, tiny finger.

Oh crap, I forgot about our brief incident.

"Yeah .... How about Monday morning I take you out for morning coffee."

"I'd like that cowboy."

"Now, let's not waste our night away. Would you Tasha like to have this dance with me?" I grab her hand and kiss the top of her soft hand.

"I would love to," Tasha said, and I let go of her hand.

"Oh my god, Tasha, where have you been?" I recognize that voice and I
