To Anna and Shari: This chapter is dedicated to you. You are my friends and I can feel the love you have for each other right through the internet. True love knows no boundaries or limits. Love is what Love is. As the song goes, ‘Even if the sun refused to shine, even if romance ran out of rhyme. You would still have my heart until the end of time. Cause all I need is you…My Valentine.’ I am happy for you and I hope that your futures are filled with love, peace, and life. XOXO- Tom 

The next day, after being charged by the most electrifying sex in their lives, Alice and Dana were ready to get out into the wild and crazy world; but not on an empty stomach. Dressed in her shirt and panties, Dana went to the kitchen to fix brunch. Alice got into her boxers and tanktop.

Alice asked, ‘Do you think we’ll ever outgrow this?’

Dana said, ‘Brunch? Nah.’

Alice said, ‘You know what I was talking about.’

Dana knew she wasn’t just referring to their "Extreme" sex times. They had romance, passion, and lust in their lives. But there were other things missing. Things like security and assurance. The kind of stable forces that make a relationship stronger than it already is.

Dana said, ‘I know. But I don’t know if I’m ready..for…you know.’

Alice said, ‘That’s okay. I’m not gonna rush things.’

That really made brunch a little easier. It wasn’t so much a bomb drop as is was probably a misfire by a lone gunman. It’s not what Alice intended but that’s how it was interpreted.

Alice asked, ‘Do you realize that we have been in your apartment for 1 whole day?’

Dana answered, ’1 day and 2 nights.’

Alice wasn’t trying to say anything. She was just surprised by that. Dana’s plans were to check her mail and messaged, then yoga and meditation with Bette. This way, she’d be able to meditate without any distractions. Alice asked Dana if she wanted to get together at Alice’s place for dinner tonight. They agreed so long as Alice got to pick the music. Considering how wild and rocky their days and nights were, Dana said, ‘Whatever you want, baby.’ Then she looked Alice up from toes to head, gritted her teeth, smiled and said, ‘What…ever.’
