Shane saw the disappointment in Dana’s eyes and instantly knew there was something hidden deep inside Dana. “Yeah, she said she got a hot date with him. Well she obviously doesn’t want us to call or drop by tonight” Shane said and air quoted: “If you know what I mean?”

She did know. She also knew that even though this should be a relief, she felt a knife stabbed really hard onto her chest.

*****

Dana saw it with her own eyes: Andrew’s car was parked in front of Alice‘s apartment; she saw the jeep before when he came to take Alice from Planet to some restaurant for a date. The big black Grand Cherokee parked neatly next to Alice‘s Mini. Dana couldn’t remember the plate but she was too blinded by jealousy to even think it could be someone else’s car.

Dana noticed that Alice‘s place was dimmly lit. “Classic!” blurted  Dana knowing that Alice was setting the mood with a few candles.

Dana stayed there for a few minutes torturing herself by picturing Andrew and Alice having dinner, flirting, innocently fore playing She didn’t want to drive by Alice‘s place in the first place. What the ***** was she doing there anyway? Especially when her girlfriend was back from her trip, waiting for her at home She started the SUV engine and drove off as fast as she could.

Yes, girlfriend was already waiting at her condo. “Hey pookie” Tonya almost jumped Dana’s bones. She kissed the athlete with so much pressure that it was almost hard to distinguish this action. Was it a kiss or did she vacuum Dana’s lips inside her?

After listening Tonya talk about her family, her plans on Dana’s tennis career, her begging and reasoning on why they should move in together, Dana excused herself to go to bed. She lied about having a headache.

Old Alice would say this was a very successful date. A hot guy, spaghetti and red wine, cute-***** talks on the couch, small touches leading to passionate kisses Having an ***** in the bedroom even if her mind wasn’t in the action A contented Andrew was sleeping peacefully next to Alice. The blonde,  physically contented  was having troubles dealing with the fact that she fantasized her best friend during ***** with Andrew. “Damn you Fairbanks!!!” she cursed silenty. “You ruined men for me for good!”
