DANA

I walk into the club, its crowded as usual. All different types of woman floating around. The ***** ones, the off limit ones, and then theres me, the shy one. I see Shane, and wow, does she look good. Picking up another conquest of course. Then there is that familiar feeling inside of me, the tinge of jealousy that only she can enable. I want to be the one she picks up, takes home, has amazing ***** withbut doesnt leave. Just then Alice snaps me back to reality.

Dana?

Yeah? is all I can mumble, still feeling ill at the sight of Shane taking home yet another nameless girl.

Where were you just now? ask Alice, always the one wanting to know every detail.

I was just thinking about my practice tomorrow, what time I have to be there, you know the usual. Lame excuse I know, but I dont want anyone to know my feelings. That would be wrong wouldnt it, to have feelings for a friend?

Just then Shane comes walking up to us at the bar, seemingly bored by the girl she was talking to earlier.

Hey she says in her typical Shane greeting.

Alice replies with an enthusiastic hey! but all I can manage is a lame hi while I stare at the floor. Just then Alice says she has to use the facilities and leaves me with Shane.

Hey, Dane, is everything alright?

Yeah, Im fine.

You sure about that?

Yeah..well.I dont know

Dane, whats going on, can I help you?

And as I look up into those gorgeous blue eyes I cant help but think how much I want to take this woman home and never let her go.

Umno, Im fine really, just a little tired..so what happened to the girl you were talking to?

I dont know, I just wasnt feeling it you know?

No Shane I dont know, I dont just pick up random women in bars, ***** them and leave in the morning without knowing their name or anything else! I dont mean for this to sound so harsh but I hate the fact that I cant be one of the women that Shane picks up.

SHANE

What the ***** was that? I mean damn, Im used to her bashing me, but that didnt seem like the typical Dana remark.

If she only knew how I really felt about her, how much her words really hurt me, maybe shed understand, maybe shed see, the women I pick, all of them, theyre all like her in some way. She doesnt even know how much Id like to take her home.for good.

Whats that look, for a second I thought I saw something.desire maybe? No way, theres no way that Dana ***** Fairbanks could ever want someone like me.

*****, she just said something, way to go Shane how are you going to play this one off?

Im sorry, I didnt hear that last part? God I hope that works.

I said I dont know why you have to sleep with so many women, there are hundreds of women out there that would be lucky to have you.

Really. Like who?

Well I dont knowbut there are.

Im not gonna let her get away with that, I know what I just saw flash in her eyes.

No Dane, why dont you tell me, who would want me?

I notice her start to fidget her feet, shes staring at the ground when I barely here her mutter the one word Ive been longing to her for her for so long:

me

And with that she turns to leave, but I cant let her leave, not my Dana, not the love of my life, not the woman I want to settle down with, maybe have a family with. I run after her and pull her to me, no words spoken just lips saying everything. I need this women, I want this women, and the next thing I know shes leading me to the car, and for the first time since I can remember, Im happy.


ALICE

What the *****, I go to the bathroom for 5 minutes and already theyve both left?!?!
