Chapter Sixteen

Back in Brooklyn, the Princess got busy with school. Joeann who was also going to school at the Military Complex lived with Alice and took her to school and back. Alice rarely saw anybody. Since Joeann was going out with Steve, she was gone most of the time. But, Joeann made sure she was home every night.

After a year, Alice threw in the towel; she was tired of being blind and lonely. She believed he was slipping away; he just returned to his base after a six-month assignment, that was dangerous and tough. Alice had a long talk with him, she believed he had aged and really needed some time off. It could be that the dead people are adding up. He is falling into depression, and she wanted her man back. Alice came home at night to blindness. Meanwhile, Robert had to stay in the barrack on the weekend because he was only sixteen was too stupid to be true. Alice contacted Elizabeth and told her how she and Robert felt and what they were planning to do.

A few hours later, she was cutting up a corpse, in a class exercise. Her mind got a call, honey put your knife down and your nightgown on. I will be there about eight tonight.

Alice smiled and answered out loud in front of her classmates and professors “Well you will have to feed and entertain me first.” She left the knife sticking out the body; with Rosemarie’s assistants, she was on the way home. The remaining students were smiling and laughing. As soon as Alice got back home, she grabbed the only one there, Gloria, and they went to the nearest department store. She needed a couple of hours in the steam room, sauna, and finally a massage before the final relaxing facial a few dresses, underwear, perfume, and finally a new nightgown.

As their cab neared the house, Alice’s sight returned. A tear fell down her face. Her man was home. She ran to the front door, opened it, hug Maria and followed Maria to the kitchen, ended her journey by jumping on Robert. After the commotion stelled down, Gloria dragged Alice off what his name, everyone got dressed up and out to dinner on Robert. Robert and Alice spent the rest of the night in the backyard swing set taking and making out.

Grandma made sure they went to their own beds.

“Joeann went running into Alice’s bedroom the next morning and jumped on Alice. She found out that Alice was not alone. Alice put a pillow in Joeann face and said Robert get back upstairs. Joeann was laughing as she was being pushed out the door by a pillow with a picture of a bear on it.”

“As soon as, Joeann was able, she yelled Grandma you have to see this.”

By the time Grandma, Lily got to the bedroom Alice was sitting up like a little angel.

Grandma walked in and said, Alice you know what the rules are, you can’t have sex, if you do. Robert will be held in solitary confinement until you are twenty-one. Now let’s have breakfast, and we can then spend the weekend with the Uncles and Aunts they both have planned dinners for us.
