Later at The Planet


Alice stood outside the caf and took a deep breath. Go time, she thought. She brushed her hands trough her hair and walked inside. She spotted Dana sitting alone in the corner. She was biting her bottom lip like she always did when she was nervous. Alice decided to watch her for a few minutes. Dana was gorgeous and Alice just realized it. She adored her bright smile most of all. Alice couldnt believe she was feeling this way for her best friend. Dana finally spotted Alice and waved her over. Alice walked toward Dana and stood to greet her friend. It was awkward. Dana went for a kiss and Alice went in for a hug and instead they bumped heads.

Alice: Ow. *****, sorry

Dana: Oh, no, Im sorry. I justI dont know. (Dana sat down, visibly embarrassed).

Alice: So

Dana: So ( breaking the silence) How are Bette and Tina doing?

Alice: Im really not sure. Tina is obviously still a mess, and I havent talked to Bette since last night.

Dana: Wow. This is all so crazy.

Alice: I know. Right?

Dana: Candace, huh?

Alice: Yeah. I should have warned her about women with tool belts.

Dana laughed nervously.

Dana: DO you think that day in the jail

Alice: I hadnt really thought about it, but I guess its possible.

Silence again. Dana mustered up the courage and broached the subject.

Dana: So about last night

Alice: (Chickening out) Yeah, listen, that was a mistake. You know I drank a little at the gallery and I was sorta lonely so

Dana: So you decided to come to my house at 3 AM and kiss me?

Alice: Yeah. (she was lying).

Dana: oh, ok. ( Dana could see through Alice). Can I tell you something?

Alice: Sure, of course.

Dana: Well I thought it was because you thought you loved me.

Alice looked at Dana shocked.

Dana: Crazy, I know.

Dana was hoping Alice could tell that she knew Alice was lying.
Alice laughed and thought she would die. She couldnt handle this. She wanted out A.S.A.P.

Alice: Well, Im glad we had this little chat. (Alice stood up to leave).

Dana: Yeah me too. (She couldnt just let her leave, but what was she supposed to do?)

Alice smiled and walked out toward her car. She stood leaning on the mini cooper.

Alice: Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. (She was hitting her forehead with the palm of her hand.)

Dana: Al( Dana ran after her).

Alice turned around, shocked to see Dana right behind her. Dana pushed Als back up against the car and kissed her. Alice let a slight moan escape from her lips. Danas tongue searched Alices mouth restlessly. Abruptly Dana pulled away. Alice could hardly breath. Dana turned to walk away. She looked back over her shoulder.

Dana: Because I might just love you. ( Dana hurried away).

Alices heart was in her throat.
