Charlie

Heading toward the kitchen, after changing out of my dress and into something more comfortable, I find Tara leaving the dining room with a tray of food.

"Oh, are you hungry?" she asks, her tone friendly. I smile and nod. Her blonde, silky hair reaches her breasts, and she's wearing a short robe, revealing the tops of her thighs down to her bare feet.

"Yeah, I'm just heading to the kitchen to get something," I reply, running my hand along the dining room table.

"They just kicked me out. They're getting ready for the party tonight. You can come to my room and watch a movie, help me finish off these chicken strips," Tara offers with a friendly smile. "There's no way I can finish them all." She giggles and scrunches her shoulders up.

"Nobody wants to run off to your room and be buddy-buddy, Tara," a tall, black-haired woman insults, walking out of the kitchen. Tara swallows and looks the other way, her expression sheepish.
