Re: Valerie's Home (Maiko and Mind Flayer/OPEN)
"Alright Kari... this is my home. I know you like the place. Maria is a really good cook and dinner should be soon. And don't worry I'll talk to her a bit about you staying here like I said on the way over. I'll just tell her you're my girlfriend, and you need a place to stay and all. She won't mind regardless, but that'd definitely help I'm sure," Val told Kari as she rang the doorbell as they stood outside the large house.
They stood outside of the house waiting for only about 10 to 20 seconds before someone came to the door and they would hear it being unlocked, where Maria, Rina's aunt stood to greet them. "Oh Val honey, you're back, come on in. Who's your friend?" Maria said, looking curiously at Kari and asking who she was.
"Maria, this is my... friend Kari... well I call her Kari anyway. Marissa Karina LeBlanc. Kari is short for Karina. She um... well can I talk to you for a minute? Kari wait here a bit, I'll be back soon. Um... here come on in and sit down on the couch, you can watch some TV while we're talking," Valerie said as Maria answered the door, introducing Kari to her before coming on in, first leading Kari to the living room and gesturing her to the big sofa in there to sit down and relax on and turning on the TV to one of the anime channels they had before taking Maria to the kitchen to talk alone with.
There was a pretty big 60" hi def TV set with a small white box thing with some cords running to it sitting on the shelf next to the TV along with a dvd player and a couple of racks with dvds there. Aside from the sofa she was sitting on there were a couple of nice comfy chairs and a love seat as well, all of which were covered in a soft feeling dark blueish cloth, and there was a fireplace as well sitting in the corner of the room with several pictures of Valerie and some other girls as well as a couple with Maria. Along the walls were some paintings and portraits, some of which were again of Valerie and the ones on the fireplace mantle, while some were just of various landscapes and things like that, a couple of which might catch Kari's eye being one of the park she'd been living at in fact, and the second being one of a very well done painting of a garden with various plants in it which Kari hadn't seen before, but it was very well done nonetheless.
...
"Hey Maria, I uh... I hope you don't mind. But can Kari stay here please? She doesn't have anywhere else to go and... well I can't just let her go back out there on the streets alone. I found her sleeping in the park of all places, and I... kinda already invited her here," Val told Maria once they were alone.
"Hmm... well If she's a friend of yours then that's fine with me. But... what is she really to you hmm? You hesitated back there, now tell me the truth," Maria replied, giving Val a suspicious look, who cringed under the said look and caved.
"I uh... s-she's my girlfriend alright. We just... you know hit it off really good and... well she doesn't have anywhere else to go. And I was worried about her, so... you know," Valerie answered, looking a bit worried that Maria would decide to not allow her to stay.
"Oh of course she can stay Val, I'm not about to turn away someone who has no place to go at her age. I mean she's still in school by the looks of her, and I saw you two holding hands at the door. I'm not so old I can't be perceptive anymore you know," Maria told her with a kind smile, patting her shoulder. "Just don't forget about the rest of us okay, we need some loving too you know," she added before stepping over to Valerie and patting her on the head with the same kind smile.
"Oh thank you Maria, thank you so much," Val said, hugging Maria and kissing her right on the lips. "And you aren't that old Maria, you're still gorgeous I think... and... you were my first after all, so... don't down yourself like that okay," Valerie added, caressing Maria's cheek.

While the two of them were in the kitchen talking, Kari would see whatever anime was on at the time, an ecchi one that showed a young man tripping and falling over where he always manages to bump into a girl with his face either buried in her breasts or between her legs, and the girl this time was a hot blonde with what looked like a succubus tail.
As Kari watched the show for a couple of minutes while Valerie was gone, she would notice out of the corner of her eye another young woman come in from the opposite side of the living room where a set of stairs was leading up to the second floor. She had short red hair, was just an inch taller than Valerie was, and she had some fairly large breasts, about D to DD-cups. She was wearing a short skirted kimono and as soon as she came into the living room she noticed Kari sitting there on the sofa.
"Um... who are you? You a friend of... Val's or something?" the girl asked curiously when she saw Kari. "I uh... I'm Karen," she said slowly, introducing herself as she came over and sat down next to Kari, extended a hand to shake Kari's in greeting.
