Lara thumbed the photograph of her and Dana and set it back on the coffee table. She kicked of her shoes and relaxed back onto the sofa. ‘Should I have just left like that?’ she wondered flicking through the text messages from Dana on her phone.

Where r u? So sry if i upset u. Please Call. I love u, Dana *****

Lara had recieved 3 missed calls since leaving the club in a haste. She had to wonder if Dana really loved her like she said she did. Dana could look her in the eye and tell her that she loved her a million times but despite this, Lara knew that Alice did have a huge place in her heart and hated herself for admitting that she wanted it all to herself.

Lara’s thoughts were disturbed by a knock on the door. She lay her head back on the pillow and wondered whether to answer or not.

‘Lara’ Dana yelled from outside her apartment.

‘Please Lara, let me in. I really need to talk to you’. From outside the door Dana couldn’t help but wonder how she kept destroynig everything good in her life. ‘Why can’t everything just be easy!’ she yelled frustrated and throwing her fist at the door just in time to go crashing through it.

Lara stood in front of Dana and sniggered slightly at the sight of her almost falling to the apartment floor. She covered her mouth anxious not to let Dana see her laughter. Lara had forgotten how great she looked that night. Dana was wearing a low cut green tank top and tights jeans that showed off every curve of her body. ‘How can i stay mad at her?’, she thought reminding herself that she had been left to sit alone on her birthday. ‘No Lara! You’re mad at Dana right now!’ she reminded herself looking the brunette in the eye and frowning.

‘Lara’, Dana began stuttering, ‘I’m so sorry if it seemed like i was somewhere else tonight’. Dana took a few steps towards Lara and noticed how beautiful she looked in the dim lighting. ‘God you’re beautiful’, she admitted quietly to herself unaware that she was speaking out loud.

‘What?’ Lara asked.

Dana looked up towards Lara embarassed but confident. ‘I said you’re beautiful’ she began placing her hand on her face and putting Lara’s bracelet on the her wrist with her free arm. ‘Will you wear this again for me? Please?’.
