When Dana finally got her feet to move, she went back to bed. She could not sleep. She laid next to Tonya and watched her sleep for a few minutes. As she stared everything became a blur and Tonyas face slowly changed to Alices. What the f.?
You said something honey? Tonya interrupted and kissed her lover.
Uh no I was just. Dana turned and got out of bed.
What are you doing up so early? Come back in bed with me.
I got some things to do today. I need. I have to talk to Alice, I need to talk to Alice about something.
Why you have to talk with? I am your fiance not her. I think you need to re-evaluate your relationship with her. I mean I dont think she likes me very much, and.
And what? I hope. She watched Tonya with a hint of disapproval and walked to the kitchen.
The phone rang while Dana was in the shower. It was Alice. Tonya was her usual ***** self., but Alice dismissed her and hung up. Dana was out of the bathroom in time to see Tonya hang up the phone *****.
Who was that?
No one.
Dana got dressed and left. She neglected to kiss Tonya goodbye, then as she was almost out the door, she came back and with little feeling kissed her. Ill see you later. Tonya not too bothered by this went back to bed.
It was about 8:30am. Shane was already there. Her head was down. Trying to catch up on sleep. She spent the night driving and driving hoping that driving to nowhere could make her forget. But instead aloneness and rejection were her only two friends. Hey Shane looked up. You look like *****. Dana could not resist a shot at Shane. She was cut short by Shanes obvious pain. Hey, you ok?
I will be. Shane was not ready to talk to anyone. Player Shane got played. Boy when they said karma was a ***** I never thought I would meet her.
Have you seen Alice? I need to talk to her about something.
Nah everyone is late today. I havent seen Bette and Tina either.
***** Shane whispered. What the ***** is she doing here?
What who..?
Ummm Ill be right back. Shane got up, Danas eyes followed her as she pushed Cleo out the door. Dana turned back to her coffee. She was making circles in the cup. Marina came up to the table. Will you be needing anything else?
Im cool. Ill wait for the others
As Marina walked away, Alice came up to the table, Hey whats up?
Nothing much. Just the usual.
Danas heart was pounding so hard that her chest hurt. She was scared, confused, happy, angry, all at the same time. She was not sure if she should kiss Alice or slap her. But instead she collected herself and was cool.
