Dana parked her Forester in front of Alices apartment where sat thinking about why she had this sudden urge to see Alice. She decided that she could always say she was stopping by on her way to tennis which was the truth except she didnt have practice for another three hours. She saw Tina open the door, ready to go to work. Dana hopped out of the SUV, Tina! Stop, dont close the door.
Tina stopped the door from shutting behind her, Good morning, Dana.
Hi.
Did you have fun last night?
Yes, she answered softly.
Im glad. Id love to stay and chat, but I cant be late for work. Oscar has me working on a big project. Ill see you later?
Yeah. Bye, Tina. Dana rushed Tina off and then tiptoed into the apartment and towards Alices room. She jumped on the bed and kissed her girlfriend.
Alice woke up feeling the warm lips against her own. She moaned, Mmm, I could get used to this. She pulled Dana on top of her. They kissed ferociously. She held up a corner of the comforter, Climb in.
Dana slid under the sheets. Nice and roasty toasty. They continued kissing, for what felt like hours to Dana. She expected Alice to be more aggressive, and when she wasnt, Dana grew impatient. She cautiously slid a hand under Alices shirt. Her fingers tracing the soft flesh on Alices stomach which slightly quivered at her touch. Dana sat up, her hands on the hem of her own shirt.
Hold on for a sec.
Whats wrong? Dana let go of her shirt, her arms folded across her chest.
Are you sure? I didnt wantto rush you. Im not a ***** fiend or anything like that.
Al, I dont think that.
Dane-hon, youre different. I never slept with any of my friends before.
What about Bette or Gabby?
Dana, all the people I slept with, I met them with that instant attraction where we pretty knew wed sleep together.
Dana asked, her voice small, Are you attracted to me?
Yes! Its got nothing to do with that. Dane, youre one of the hottest women Ive ever seen.
Her expression still sad, even with the compliment. She practically whispered so that Alice had to strain to hear her, Why do I have to be different?
Alice placed her hands on Danas face, and looked deeply into her eyes, Its a good thing, Dane. I just want everything to be perfect, to be right because I dont want to give you anything less. Those relationships didnt work, maybe I moved them too quickly. I dont want to do that with ours.
Al, do you want to?
Alice dropped her hands, her eyes preoccupied with the patterns on her comforter, You know I do. I guess Im nervous for the first time ever. Ive never felt this before.
Al, look at me. Iloveyou. And I think you love me, too. Everything is ok. Its ok.
Alice tried sitting up, and when that effort failed, Dana ended up pulling her up by the shirt. She kissed Dana softly and sweetly, I love you, too. She hugged Dana and rested her head on her shoulder.
Dana was at a loss for words so she kissed the top of Alices head.
Alice stayed in her cozy position, quickly trying to understand why she suddenly felt timid, ***** was usually something she found fun and relaxing and now it was almost scary. In her mind she compared it to how those couples that dont have premarital ***** must feel on their big night after the wedding. Her thoughts changed to wedding thoughts and how Dana would be the kind of person shed like to marry one day. Her mind raced with images of Dana in a tuxedo and her in a big white dress. If her head wasnt resting on Danas shoulder, she would have shook it, hoping those thoughts would fly out of her brain. She wondered why she was thinking this, their relationship was so new and not even that serious at least on the physical level. Her thoughts changed once more, she never had a really long term relationship before with anyone. Shes had a few lengthy relationships but nothing longer than maybe a year at most and that was a while back in college. She concluded that Dana is someone that wouldnt be a couple month fling, but something on a more substantial level. Alice finally looked up at Dana, Tell you what, why dont we lie around for a little while and then Ill take you out to a nice dinner tonight.
Ok.
Alice got out of bed, Im going get a quick drink, want some water or juice?
No, thanks. Dana paced around while waiting for Alice, she looked at the various trinkets on the nightstand.
Find anything interesting?
Dana spun around, I never noticed you had some of this stuff before.
Youve never really been in my bedroom before.
True. Dana lunged towards Alice, lifting her off the ground.
Ahh! Dana! What are you doing? She playfully swatted Danas back, Put me down.
Dana carried her closer to the bed and dropped her on it.
Alice hopped off the bed and tried tackling Dana on the bed, No fair! Youre big and strong.
So?
Alice swung her arms in circles, Yeah, bring it on baby!
Dana laughed, Ill bring it when you stop swinging those things like weapons.
Its my defense tactic. I should keep this in mind if I ever have to ward off an attacker. She winked at Dana.
It might work, attackers would probably think youre crazy and wont want to go near you.
Mwuahhahaha, my plan would work, Alice spoke in her best Dr. Evil voice.
But a really determined attacker could just-
Do what?
Dana quickly dropped down to the ground and swung her leg around, sweeping Alice off her feet and leaving her sprawled on the bedroom floor. That.
Alice lay on the ground, the air knocked out of her. Got me there, champ.
Did I hurt you?
Nah, just a bit winded. Come here for a sec.
Dana walked over and held out her hand. Need a hand up?
Sure. Alice let Dana help her to her feet. Turn around.
Ok? What are you going to do?
Nothing, dont worry.
Dana sighed and turned around. Alice slapped her real hard. As Dana spun around, rubbing her butt cheek, Alice pushed her on the bed, Haha, sucker.
Dana stayed on the bed, still rubbing her aching bum, Al, ow, that hurt.
Not as much as my hand stings, Alice admitted while she rubbed her hand.
At least you wont have a big hand print on your *****.
Alice giggled, I could always let you know if theres a mark. Alice jumped on the bed beside Dana, When do you have practice?
In about an hour. I should probably shower.
Before practice?
Im all sweaty.
But youre only going to get sweaty at practice running around in that cute little dress.
Its not a dress.
Yeah, whatever. Tennis outfit then.
Can I use yours? She pointed to the shower.
Go right ahead.
Dana pulled her keys out of her purse and tossed them to Alice, Could you run to my car and grab my gym bag?
What do I look like? Your personal gopher?
Al, she whined.
Alright, alright. You start showering and Ill get yourdamn bag.
Thanks, sweetie.
Alice retrieved the bag from Danas SUV and waited for her.
Dana came out of the shower wearing just the towel.
Alice shut her eyes, Sorry.
Dana couldnt help but laugh at her girlfriend. She put on her underwear and pants and by the time she got to putting on her sports bra, she noticed that Alice was sneaking a peek here and there. I know youre looking.
Alice blushed. She lied, Was not.
Dana smiled, her tank top still in her hand, You can watch now. Im pretty much dressed.
