Dana didnt know if she had heard the reporters question right or not. *Please, tell me she didnt just ask what I think she just asked. Oh my god, Im overMy career is ***** over! *****, *****, shitstupid cute reporter and her stupid investigative skills. Okay Fairbanksact cool. Deny it.* What?!

Alice noticed the tennis players deer in headlights look. *This one doesnt want to be out. Shes gonna have a hard time hiding it, because she is sooo *****. Okay Kournikova, Ill play along for now.* Alice put on her most disarming smile; she didnt want the athlete to run away.

I asked if you were a *****.

Dana gave a nervous little laugh. No…Im not a.

At Danas pause, Alice lifted her eyebrows expectantly.

Alesbian. Whispered Dana looking around to make sure no one else could hear their conversation, and prayed that her lie fooled the blonde.

Okayjust thought Id ask. Alice whispered back.

Yea, well Im notso now you know. Dana let out the breath shed been holding. Then realized she actually felt guilty for lying to Alice, and regretted that she couldnt be out so that she could maybe get to know the rambunctious blonde better.

Dana

Yea?

Why are we whispering?

Dana didnt even realize that they had been whispering, and when the blonde pointed it out she rolled her eyes. Are you always this annoying?

Alice grinned at this. Depends Alice happened to look down at her watch as she was teasing Dana and noticed the time. Poopy *****!

What? Dana giggled at Alices choice of words.

I was supposed to meet up with my friends twenty minutes ago! They are gonna kill me, especially after what happened last time.

What time is it?

Half past four.

Dana snatched Alices arm to her to check the time herself. *****, my car!

Dana took off, sprinting down the trails to where she had left her vehicle. *And she thinks Im weird. Damn she has a nice *****!* Alice began to walk to where she had parked, which was in the same direction that Dana had headed in. When Alice got to the parking lot, she noticed Dana sitting on the ground with a piece of paper; sans car. Naturally curious, Alice went to see what had happened.

Did you misplace something?

No. Your stupid interview made my car get towed. Dana huffed and rolled her eyes at Alices question.

They towed your car because you did an interview with me? Thats a little harsh of them.

Dana raised her head up to glare at the reporter. No, they towed my car because I only put enough change in the meter for an hour. Your ^interview^ is the reason I wasnt back in time.

Well then since its my fault that ^you^ forgot about ^your^ car, the least I could do is give you a ride.

As Dana thought about the offer, Alice noticed that she was biting her bottom lip. The blonde smiled at this thinking it was incredibly cute.

I guess that would be okaythat is if you dont mind.

Of course not, it gives me a chance to have my wicked way with you. Alice teased Dana with a grin.

Dana smiled sweetly and then flicked Alice off. ***** you.

In a heartbeat, but you said you werent a *****. Alice winked at the flabbergasted athlete and walked towards her car.
