He glanced over at Jenny, who’s blue as the sea eyes were washing up and down over Marina. He watched Jenny, watching Marina. A transcendent heat ebbed off the woman whom he had desperately wanted to marry only a few short days before. Her body language changed, she began to walk towards Marine, the awkward Jenny that he’s come to know, and to love were gone. Replaced with a vixen of heightened proportion, hips swaying from side to side, hair tucked neatly behind her ear. Tim licked his lips, and Marina was speaking to him.

“Are you all right Tim?” Marina asked, and Tim flashed back to the reality at hand, and what was that reality exactly? He was here, in the den of the enemy, and suddenly a light filled Tim’s eyes. Keep your friends close. He reached out for Jenny’s waist. And your enemies. He then pulled Marina into his other arm. Closer.

“Well duh, when you gotta go, you gotta go Dana!” Alice said as they heard the toilet paper roll spinning. Dana blinked and Shane laughed, looking at the stall that Alice was in.

“Well fuck me, Shane can you hand me some TP? What sort of place is this Dana? There is no toilet paper in the stalls, I mean come the fuck on!” Dana grabbed Shane’s arm, and yanked her towards the door. Shane let out a small yelp. Leaving Alice all alone in the stall, Dana pushed Shane against the wall outside of the bathroom.

“Leave her, Shane what am I going to do? She’s so fucking beautiful that I can’t stop staring at her, I want to be so good for her. She is sexy, she is smart and wonderful.” Dana moaned, and Shane put an arm around her, hearing Alice yelling for them from the bathroom. Shane was caught in a quandary, she opted to go with Dana, she was in more need than Alice was.
