<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>~ Mari, eagerly helping the girls ~</em><br/><br/>There was no hesitation for Marisol as she stood up and helped finish clearing the table with Nicci and with Mila. She was in the group with the girls and even if she felt insecure about some things, she knew how to do others well. Like clearing the table and doing the dishes; being the oldest in her house hold, she was a pro at that! As she finished picking up the remainder of the items, she couldn't help but smile at the easy banter that they all had with one another. David was still relatively new and while he hadn't shared a kiss with the girls...well, he still looked like he belonged and he was part of the group. Marisol was certain that in no time, he would bond with them just as Marcus and Bo had.<br/><br/>Bo. Her smile dimmed just a little bit as she thought about him and she was rather glad when the men were taken outside. He was the only one that she felt so...disconnected from. Even though their kiss had been powerful and it had knocked the breath right out of her, Marisol knew that chemistry was not the only thing he looked for in a woman. He found something in Nicci and from what she had heard, he was already finding something with Mila. What...could he find in her? The thought troubled her as she leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Nicci headed to the computer and pulling up some recipes. Forcing her thoughts from Bo and their (lack of) relationship, Marisol listened to Nicci and couldn't help but smile lightly.<br/><br/>"That sounds like a really good idea, Nicci," Marisol said with a smile, crossing her arms over her chest as she rubbed her arms gently. She looked around and slowly began to open cabinets and cupboards, familiarizing herself with the room. She glanced over her shoulder and couldn't help the slight teasing smile as she added, "You know it's a good thing we're going to run in the mornings...if you make cookies and sweets all the times, I'm not going to be able to say no!"<br/><br/>Glancing over at Mila when she came back in, Marisol couldn't help but wink as she added, "Maybe we can make some tropical drink for Mila and her dreams of going to the Bahamas." A dreamy sigh escaped Mari as she looked out the window, her voice teasing, "Perhaps we can have our own little island fun when the weather and the season turns nice...I'm sure the water that surround the island is magnificent."</span>
