this is our night (alicia)

Even Rebecca couldn’t keep going forever and needed to sit down for a break. She also got food from a stall but not before asking what Alicia wanted to eat. She did know she wanted a bubble tea as well.

Alicia got a kiss as she replied “I had a good feeling about us after our first night together. Now as we’ve got more time I know you’re the one for me”. She’d like to stay on the island after her job was completed or failing that take Alicia with her.

Their food and her tea was on its way as the party continued. The West Side slum could be a surprising place and it was quite diverse. They looked like a mismatched couple to most people but you couldn't usually judge somebody by their job. She hadn't felt this way in ten years as she knew she could count on Alicia and in turn she had a plan of her own; it might carve out a little piece of the action if things worked out.

So paying for their late dinner and handing Alicia her box of food she replied with a happy smile "life won't always be as much fun as tonight but it will be mostly good".

Holidays. Not something she usually got a chance to properly do given she had to stay out of public. Here she just might be able to change that just like going to a club or a bar would be out of the question in other parts of the world.

“I usually don’t get to do holidays properly. The last time I had turkey and stuffing was four years ago when I had my last job in Canada. My home country. It’s not as if I can go to a party the way I am. Here is different so I could do the holidays right” Rebecca replied with a smile. So a tree and cooking a turkey was an option this year.

“I don’t know if I’ll get to stay here long term but it’s the only place that being an oddity isn’t a crime nor needs to be registered with the OSE. I still had to go through passport control arriving here but that’s what you anywhere” Rebecca replied.

“So we should be able to set up a tree and some decorations at least. As well as attending a party or two” she also added as she felt more relaxed here. So could get into the holiday season more easily here.

Rebecca mused on the posed question. White Whale wouldn't be doing anything unless she arranged it with the guys. ARI might do something but Brett hosting a party at the brothel sounded like it would work. It would also be an night off the working girls who would have earned it many times over.

"I can talk to the guys I work with in White Whale and see what they think. It'll be a small affair in any case. However Brett running a party makes a lot more sense to me. All the night workers can get a night off at least. He'll probally have the brothel decorated anyway" she replied. Alicia also wanted to decorate a tree which made Rebecca smile. "We can decorate a tree soon enough. I still remember what to do with one".

"I suppose we could call by Brett later on if you wanted too; or even ring him tonight and see what he thinks of the idea" Rebecca replied in a curious manner. "Either way we'll have at least one Christmas party to go too; perhaps more" she added. She did wonder if the boys would be up for a company get together as well and the slums would be the venue; there'd be no snooping on them at least. If they went to someplace like the bar beside the mall there would be way too many cameras for starters.

This was still a better situation that she normally had. Usually she wouldn't be getting out on the town in the first place.

"True. We could always get tinsel and eggnog" Rebecca replied. As far as she was concerned her last proper christmas was when she was still living with her family in Northern Canada. Bakers Lake to be exact and before the OSE came looking for her.

"That is also true. We can leave if we want too" she added. "Until then we have plenty of time for dates". She meant this and having seen other couples in action after her own team up with Russell knew it was necesary.
