ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON TEN

Episode 122

" So it was the kiss that set you off ? ," Faith asked after they had ordered their meals along with coffee for Faith and tea for Joy. " I know enough that I know you can't get AIDS from a kiss. "

Joy sighed. " That's true. You can not. But. You can get it from French kissing if you have an open cut in your mouth. It's rare. But it happens. There was one confirmed case back in the nineties of it actually. I don't want to hurt you. Put you at risk. I don't...... I don't have any type of sexual contact anymore. It's my personal choice. Beyond ordinary kissing and cuddling and whatever that is. But I'm lonely and I want a relationship again. I want one with you. If ...... You are interested in one that is. If you can.... accept me for who I am. "

Faith looked at her. A sexless relationship? She had never been in one of those for a long time. If ever really. She liked sex. She liked sexual play and toys. Dildos and the like. She did not know if she could really do something like that. With Melinda it was an open marriage mainly because she was hoping Melinda would get tired of the whole thing and go away. But down deep Faith was one for a faithful commitment with one woman. And only one woman. If she started seeing this woman could she do it ? Play by Joy's rules and somehow stay faithful to her ?

She didn't know.

But as she stared at the pretty shy sweet minister with her wistful eyes that seemed to be already losing their hope she also knew that she was developing feelings for her. And she wanted to see what route that the feelings took.

" It's ok , Faith ," Joy began to say as she lowered her head.

Faith said," We never got to go dancing at Club J. What do you say about this Saturday? I got some mean moves on the dance floor. "

Joy looked back up in surprise. " I say yes. I love to dance. "
