Damn shes hot Dana thought as she walked past a house and saw a blonde woman sat outside daydreaming when she should have most likely been writing, judging by the papers that scattered the porch and her lap. Dana crossed the street and walked up the path to Bette and Tinas. Smiling at the pair who were sat on their front steps.

Hi Dana.

Hi Bette, hi Tina. Whos the blonde?

Dont know this is the first time weve seen her. Bette answered.

And she moved in two weeks ago. Tina joined in.

Oh

Why does Miss Dana like the blonde? Bette teased her friend

Maybe. Dana told them blushing slightly.

Sogo say hi. Tina suggested

I dont know.

Go on. Tina urged.

She could be the one. Bette smiled.

Fine, fine Ill go say hi. Dana agreed knowing that they wouldnt shut up till she did.

*********************************************************************

UmHi.

Oh, uhHi. The blonde looked up, flustered, and smiled. Then moved her pile of papers out of the way.

Dana. She told her and sat down on the steps next to her.

Beth, nice to meet you, do you live around here?

No, but my friends Bette and Tina live across the street. Dana pointed and then proceed to stop when she noticed that Bette and Tina were clearly engrossed in a game of tonsil tennis.

Oh right, dont think theyre that interested at the moment. A glazed looked covered Danas face.

Are you ok? Beth asked.

Yeah, just trying to work out the accent.

Oh um London, West end.

Ok, I knew it was British but other than that I was lost.

Ok. Beth said laughing slightly.

Hey, thats not fair! Dana began to sulk.

Sorry, didnt mean anything by it.

Thats ok, what do you do? Dana asked desperate to know everything about this woman, well in particular her sexuality.

Im a surgeon, cardio – thoracic specialist.

Wow. Thats impressive.

Kinda, Im used to it, you? Beth said with a blush.

Im a professional tennis player. Dana told her albeit very quietly.

My turn to say wow. Ill have to tell my brothers I met a celebrity.

Yeah right, A blushing Dana told her How many brothers?

Two, Darren and Elliot.

Any sisters? Dana asked already intrigued.

Yeah, two Anna and Louise. Its me, Darren, Anna, Elliot and Louise. Beth explained.

Five of you? Danas eyes widened.

Yeah, not quads just five mad siblings.

I always wanted brothers and sisters, just not that many. Still I didnt do too bad as an only child. Dana reminisced.

No youre lucky, I would have killed to be an only child a lot of the time.

Bet you miss them now though.

Yeah, really do its hard being in a big house.

Single? Dana asked hoping the answer would be yes.

Drastically. You?

Yes.

Please how could someone like you be single? Beth asked feeling a strong attraction to this woman, her gaydar was usually good but this woman was hard.

Too shy to talk to anyone I like.

Right. Still Beth mussed a possibility.

Why are you single?

Im a pain in the ***** to live with. Beth told Dana, not attempting to hide a smile.

Ok, so how much of LA have you seen?

Uh a hospital and 2 houses and nothing else. Beth answered honestly, not mentioning that the other house had been the outside of a surgeon she was getting along well with. Nathan the family man really, wife, dog, and 2.5 kids. Perfect.

And youve been here for two weeks?

Yeah.

Damn Im going to introduce you to my friends, theyll show you LA, not that youll remember it. Dana told her trying to remember the last time she managed to come home with a 100% clear memory.

Sounds like when two of my friends drag me out. Beths thought flashed back to her going away party with her best friends Charlie and Mel – or what she remembered of it.

How does 7 sound?

Tonight?

Yeah. Dana told her feeling surprised at her own boldness.

Sure I could do with seeing more than the inside of theses walls every night. Beth smiled.

Great Ill pick you up.

*********************************************************************

At the Planet.

Shane what do you think to a night out at Milk tonight? Dana asked. Praying she would say yes.

Great, whats the occasion? Shane was definitely in the mood to party.

Dana likes a girl. Tina teased.

Woooo, Miss Dana who is she? Shane was glad Dana had a potential lady; really a woman like Dana should be taken by mow.

Shes called Beth Jones and shes from West London, she moved here 2 weeks ago and shes a surgeon. Dana informed them, smiling at the memory

How is it that we live on the same street as her and we know less than you do? Bette asked.

Because youre to busy playing tonsil tennis to notice anything. Dana retorted.

Hi, whats going on? Why is Tina blushing? Alice asked by way of greeting.

Danas got a crush, and she made Tina blush by talking about her and Bette’s game of tonsil tennis. Marina informed her.

Right, so whats she look like? Alice asked determined to find out if shed met her before.

She blonde and shes coming out with us tonight, are you? Dana asked.

***** yeah I need to see who she is. Alice was intrigued Dana looked genuinely interested.

And we need to unleash the combined gaydar on her. Bette said

Well you two on the porch didnt freak her out. I think she thought you were sweet. Dana teased making Tinas pink cheeks turn deep red again.

Well ya never know you might be in with a chance Dana. Shane smiled.
