Shane was sitting, letting one of the twins undo her pants, the other one behind her, massaging her ***** and sucking her collarbone. But she didnt seem to notice. Even her body didnt react to the ministrations as it should have. Her gaze was lost into space, indicating that she wasnt realising what was happening, nor liking it.
Mark zoomed on her face, especially her eyes and sat there, wondering where Shanes thoughts were at that very moment.
It had been a week since he had moved in. He had instantly been caught by Shanes attitude. She was obviously a heartbreaker, but something in her eyes led him to wonder if everything was as alright as she liked to pretend it. He had put cameras all over the place, even in their bedrooms and spent his days locked in his room, watching either Shanes or Jennys *****. He even recorded it sometimes, especially Shanes, he found it aesthetic when she fucked someone. He wasnt voyeuristic in a sexual way. Seeing Shane didnt arouse him. He had once brought a friend back home to see Shane in action on the computer but when he had started to ***** he had thrown him out of the room.The more he watched her, the more it intrigued him and so the more he watched her, trying to understand what was going on inside her head.
It the kitchen, Jenny and Carmen were making out. Mark had witnessed the imbroglio around Carmen. Jenny oviously liked her but it seemed rather unrequitted and they would end up together some nights only because Shane rejected Carmen, though Jenny didnt suspect it. Its so obvious Mark thought. Ten minutes ago, Shane had walked in the kitchen, fetching some water and alcohol. The blonde she had just had ***** with had left, kissing her goodbye and shortly after, the gorgeous twins had come in, heading for Shanes bedroom. Carmens reaction had been to forcefully kiss Jenny and lay her down on the kitchen table.
Mark shook his head Girls can be so complicated he muttered.



Hey.
Bette smiled as she heard the familiar voice. She extended her hand, waiting for Tina to take it.
Ive talked to the doctors Tina softly said they think you can leave now. Bette nodded, she didnt know what to say. Leave, ok, but to go where ? Besides, it scared her, to be on her own. She had been able to cope with the creeping darkness here, there was always someone to help her, a presence if she needed it.
The thought of leaving had haunted her during the whole week. Tinas presence by her side hadnt helped. On the contrary, it only made it harder for her. Tina was so gentle, sweet and caring, careful not to raise the subject of their separation or of the future. But never crossing the invisible line that had grown between them, so that her actions could be understood as pure friendship, nothing more. Every day it reminded Bette of what she had done and what she had lost.
I Tina started. I thought that maybe I could move back in, so that you wouldnt be alone. If youre ok with it that is. For as long as it takes for you to see again.
Bette was stunned, she hadnt imagined Tina would offer something like that. She nodded vigurously her agreement.
What did they say about my sight ? Bette asked. The doctors avoided the subject. She was supposed to have recovered her sight one week ago, but she still couldnt see a thing.
Apparently, the accident damaged a minor connection. They say its not worth worrying. Tina said. She didnt tell Bette the doctors had raised the possibility that her blindness was a psychological reaction to a crisis in her life.

Dana was in Athens, in her hotel room, waiting for Kate. She had offered to Lara to come with her, but Lara had had to stay.
She knew she was supposed to be resting, concentrating on her game on the next day, the first one. She had to win if she wanted to go on, and as lucky as she was, her opponent was one of the favourites for the Olympic Games.
She had tried to watch TV, had settled in front of a greek soap opera, and had had some fun imagining what they were saying, the story lines and clichs being the same from one country to another.
Kate entered, with a small board in her hands and a pencil. She started drawing lines, showing Dana where she had to position herself on the field when confronted to some difficult moves of her opponent.
Youre not listening to me Kate finally said. Dana was fidgetting, like always, her glazing over Kate, looking right through her.
Im sorry, Im just not able to concentrate. Im so freaking out ! she ewclaimed. Why was I picked out to play against her ? I dont even stand a chance !
Kate studied her for a while, then reached in her pocket, extended her palm in front of her, towards Dana. Dana considered the red pill resting on Kates palm and frowned.
Take it, itll help you calm down and be fit tomorrow. Kate softly said.
What is it ? Dana hesitantly asked.
Kate chuckled, Dont worry, its nothing illegal, its not appearing in your blood like other products, you cant be tested positive.
Dana considered what Kate had just said and finally took the pill.



Alice ! Where the ***** are you ? You just missed the meeting ! We havent seen you at the editorial department for ages ! The boss is going nuts ! Youde better show up. The message ended.
Alice switched her phone off and went back to her initial task : find alcohol, anything to drink ! ***** work she shouted, throwing her arms in the air, feeling stupidly happy.
She settled down with her new found bottles and started drinking.
And ***** you, Dana. She couldnt even turn the TV on to have something to focus on because they were only talking about the Olympic Games and this would remind Alice of Dana.
God Alice, youre a wreck she thought. Longing after somebody whos happily in love with somebody else. Not being able to forget her.
She decided to go out, to get some fresh air. She managed to leave her flat, forgetting the keys inside, he hands full of beer bottles. She had to slow down in order not to fall in the staircase. Once outside, she took a deep, loud breath. Her head started spinning and she had to sit down, on the pavement.
Alice ? came a voice in front of her. Sasha walked up to the sitting form. She had recognised her immediately, her blonde hair and her curious haircut. It had taken her some seconds to understand the situation : the bottles of beer, the way Alice was swaying, the fact that she hadnt showed up at the Planet for two weeks now. She quickly put two and two together. Dana with Lara. The way Alice used to look at Dana.
Alice looked up. She couldnt make out who was in front of her. Who are you ? she asked, her voice hoarse.
Youre drunk Sasha answered, frowning. She had believed the funny blonde to be stronger, more in control of herself.
Leave me alone ! Alice bursted out, throwing her fists forward, trying to hit the legs in front of her.
Youre pathetic Sasha answered. Go get drunk, its not my problem. I dont care and she hurried away, looking for somebody to *****.
Alice went on babbling ***** you, I dont need you, not noticing that Sahsa had left and that she was alone.
