Alice stirred. It felt so right to be back in Dana’s bed, in Dana’s condo, in Dana’s arms. Alice cracked her eyes open to see two big pools of blue staring back at her. “G’morning, sleepy.” Dana kissed the tip of Alice’s nose and snuggled her face into the writers neck. Alice laced their fingers and held that hand in the air, when she noticed Dana’s fresh new ink.

“Dane, I can’t believe you did that.” Alice lightly giggled. “Anything for you, Al, you know that.” They sat in a comfortable silence until Alice realized it wasn’t light out yet. “Hey, Dane?” Dana looked at her.”I know it’s not light out yet. I have to go training in about..” Dana looked at the nightstand clock. “..about a half an hour.” Alice pouted out her bottom lip.

“Come on, Al. You can’t make that face.” Alice’s face broke into a smile. ”Fine, fine.” Alice yawned and turned over so her back was against Dana, and Dana snuggled up to her, planting kisses on the back of her neck. Alice let out a small throaty growl. “I wish I had more time with you, Al.” Alice was so wrapped up in the back of the neck kisses that she didn’t realize that her time with Dana was limited for the day.

“Fuck, tennis. I want you to stay with me.” Dana giggled. “Al, you know I have this big Capreony match coming up. 6 days to go.” Alice nodded. “Yeah, I know I just don’t want you to get outta bed.” Alice yawned again.

“Well, I DO have a surprise in the kitchen for you, Al.” Alice looked at her questioningly. “Go look.” Alice did as she was told. She rolled up in Dana’s comforter like a tamale, leaving Dana naked on the bed. “Al, jesus, it’s so fucking cold.”

“That’s what you get, Ms. Surprise.” Dana didn’t want to miss the look on Alice’s face, so she grabbed a hoodie and and pair of sweats and followed closely behind Alice.

When Alice got to the kitchen, she saw a man wearing an apron. “Hello, you must be Ms. Alice.” He grabbed for her hand and kissed it, bowing his head. “You are even more beautiful than Ms. Dana said.” Alice blushed slightly. Dana was standing behind her, unnoticed, until she snuck her arms around. “Watch it, Gustav, I’ve got dibs on this one.” Alice giggled as Dana kissed behind her ear. “Dane, what exactly is this flattering man doing here?” Gustav smiled and winked at the two. “He is here to cook you whatever you want for breakfast, but if I don’t leave now, I’m gonna be late.” Dana pulled away from Alice and grabbed her bag. “I’ll be home later. Stay here and do whatever you want, order what you want. Take advantage of Gustav.” At this comment Alice’s mouth dropped and Gustav also went slightly slack jawed.
