“*****,” Shane stated as she surveyed the apartment.

“***** Al, what have you done to this place?” Tina asked in a similarly astonished tone.

“Guys don’t act like you’ve never seen this place messy before. I have a big date tonight remember? A big date which I can’t find a ***** thing to wear too.” Alice collapsed in a heap on her floor and sighed, closing her eyes and trying to relax herself.

“C’mon Shane, you try and clean this place a little and I’ll get her clothes, then you can start on her hair.” Shane simply nodded and walked into the kitchen, while Tina started looking through the clothes in the hallway. And in the space of two hours Alice, and her apartment, were in damn fine condition.

“Al you’re so going to get some tonight,” Shane said as she looked the blonde up and down. She was wearing a very simply, casual black dress, but one which highlighted all of her perfections.

“Shane’s right Al, you look amazing.”

“If I wasn’t so sure you were right I’d ask why you don’t tell me that everyday,” Alice joked as she looked over her face once more. Truth be told even she knew she looked good, which was a great sign.

“Ok Al, we’re going to go,” Tina said as she and Shane walked towards the door. “Ring us later to tell us how it went.”

Alice hugged them both tightly, thanking them a million times over before they left, leaving her to wait for an hour and a half until Dana picked her up.

An hour…

Half an hour…

Should be here right about now…

Half an hour late…. Alice was starting to panic.

By the time Dana was an hour and a half late, Alice had realised that she had, in fact been stood up, and walked into the kitchen to pour herself a very strong drink. However she changed her mind at the last minute, grabbed her keys and started to drive over to where Dana had said she lived, ready to give the brunette a piece of her mind. Alice finally found the apartment she assumed was Dana’s. She parked her car a little way down the street and was about to get out when she noticed a Subaru drive up and park outside the building. She saw Dana get out of the driver’s seat, looking particularly tired, and Alice‘s blood ran cold when she spotted a man get out of the passenger seat, who took Dana into a giant hug and then walked her up the pathway, his arm around her shoulders. Alice‘s eyes filled with tears as she started her engine and drove off, hating the tennis player more than she had ever thought possible.
