Dana walked up to Shane, who was just staring into space. She put her hand on her shoulder to get her attention and Shane jumped about a foot in to the air with a wild yell. She turned to face the shell-shocked look on Danas face.

Dana managed to squeak, Um, hi?

With one hand on her chest, Shane tried to get her breathing under control. All afternoon she had been bombarded with vision after vision of a semi-naked Dana in every lingerie ensemble imaginable, no matter how many roadblocks she put up. Now faced with Dana in the flesh, so to speak, her mind was determined to superimpose the images on the body in front of her. This is the price I pay for sleeping with so many women. My imagination is far too good. All that innocent sexiness wrapped in a package I cant touch. When did I become a *****?

Shane took a deep breath. Sorry Dana. I was justumzoning out there for a minute.

Dana eyed her warily. Are you sure youre ok? Im sorry for startling you. I had no idea you didnt see me.

Yeah, yeah, Im fine. Have a seat.

Dana dropped wearily into the hairdressers chair, too exhausted to be nervous.

Shane looked around and seeing only Tina, asked, What happened to the rest of your partners in crime? Dana waved her hand royally at Tina, deciding it took too much energy to speak.

Giving Dana a droll look, Tina replied, Alice took the bags home and then she was going to see Rae. Apparently, she was going into withdrawal. Bette has to go in and do some paperwork or she wont be able to come out with us tonight.

Shane peered in the mirror over Danas shoulder, resting her hands on the back of the chair. You ok, Dane? We can do this some other time if youre too beat from today.

Dana gave her a wan smile. No, Im fine. I just wasnt quite prepared to be parading myself around in my underwear in front of my friends. Shanes eyes widened. Dana continued, But I got to wear these nice new ones home, theyre surprisingly comfortable for being barely there.

Shane was sure that gulp was audible. When Tina and Dana showed no signs of noticing, she sighed in relief. Standing close to run her fingers through Danas hair, Shane wondered when the air conditioner stopped working. She sternly admonished herself. This is not the time to indulge in my gd hair fetish. Coming to a decision, Shane leaned on the back of the chair.

Is there anything you want in particular? Shane asked.

Dana locked eyes with Shane in the mirror and shrugged. Quietly she said, Um, no Shane, you can do whatever you want with me.

Shane felt her temperature hit the roof. *****! What the ***** was that? Caught in her circle of thinking, Shane regretted the next words out of her mouth as soon as they left. All right then. I need your top off. I mean, go and put a smock on.

Tina mentally shook her head in disbelief. Dana hadnt needed their help at all. Shes twisting Shanes shorts in complete innocence! Her geekiness actually works better for her than anything weve told her.
