<div class="floatleft">(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u133/kokotigress/Elliquiy/UTBLOV/ciara_3-normal_zps9c0266bf.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Tasha Nicole Porter<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Living Room<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>All of y'all<hr/>Tasha watched her friends mingle while for the most part staying quiet as she sat beside Talia, her fingers running over the gift her friend had given her just a short while ago. The looks exchanged between Talia and Miranda upon the other woman's arrival had not been missed and though she was trying her best to dismiss it as nothing, it was near impossible to do so. She knew how Miranda was, but for some reason Tasha felt like being selfish. She didn't want to share Talia... not in that way, the ways that mattered. She shook herself out of it though as the girls continued on. For the most part she liked to keep things light and easy and now was especially not the time to go all silent and broody. Especially since she'd never spoken up about her feelings and therefore had no right to them...<br/><br/>The doorbell chimed and Tasha pushed herself up from the couch again, though Miranda in her typical way was already seeing to things like she was Mistress of the manor. Some might have thought Tasha would be upset by this but there was nothing but mild amusement on her face as she watched the woman turn away with Tami in tow. They might not be quite as close anymore but Tasha understood her oldest friend well. She liked being in charge. It came naturally to her and though they could--and had--certainly butt heads from time to time, Tasha was generally careful about picking her battles. It was one thing her boss liked about her.<br/><br/>Naomi was shown in though it seemed the cutie was already well on her way to happy hour as Tasha waved to her from across the room. She did not miss Eryn's questioning look though and she had to swallow back a laugh as she gave a dismissive wave and small shake of her head that said she wasn't sweating it. Miranda's follow up had that laugh spilling over though and Tasha simply placed a noisy kiss on the woman's cheek while whispering,<strong>"Bossy ass!"</strong><br/><br/>Turning back to Talia, Tasha held out her hand,<strong>"C'mon, I can be a bad hostess and sneak off and show you the place while the rest of them start getting sloshed."</strong>She was a bit concerned about Belle but she knew better than to try and press her with so many others around, plus she wanted a moment with Talia. She would definitely be seeking the redhead out later though. Course, likely Belle already knew that. Tasha would only take so much silence when her friend was clearly troubled.<br/><br/>Thinking of something suddenly, Ta'sha turned and called out.<strong>"Ay, there's food in the fridge y'all and snacks and crap in the pantry. Do me a favor and eat something, please! I don't wanna have to be holding anyone's hair tonight while they hug the toilet."</strong>She gave them all the stern eye from across the room as she was serious then turned back to Talia with a grin.
