Dana ended up at some super-swank coffeehouse turned nightclub, it was running on ten o’ clock and she wasn’t really looking to go home with anyone despite numerous offers. Dana simply sat, Midori sour in hand staring at the large crowd of dancing women. She turned back toward the bar and bumped into a blonde woman, spilling her drink down the back of her white shirt.

"Holy fuck!" she screamed as Dana apologized for her scarce moment of clumsiness.

"I am so sorry, I didn’t see you standing there…wait maybe you should go the bathroom, so that stain doesn’t set." The blonde, tried to see the stain over her shoulder to no avail. Dana grabbed her hand and led her to the bathroom, dabbing the bright green spot with a waterlogged paper towel the excess water dripping down the blonde’s back.

"Again I’m really sorry I wasn’t paying attention, but it looks like it’s coming out… My name is Dana, by the way." The blonde looked over her shoulder a bit,

"Alice…um, actually let me just take this shirt off I’ll need to dry it since you decided to pour your drink then a bottle of water on me." Dana moved to apologize again but after seeing Alice’s wide smile, she breathed a sigh of relief a goofy grin playing on her features. Dana’s grin disappeared, as Alice pulled her shirt off, her silk black bra accentuating her light skin. Dana’s mouth went dry as the young writer held the white shirt up to the hand dryer. Dana tried to force her eyes on somthing other than Alice’s perfect breasts,

"So, um do you come here a lot?" Alice nodded, the loud hand dryer making it hard to hear the writer had to yell over roar.

"Yeah, I actually knew the owner before she sold the place. It’s a really nice atmosphere, but I’ve never seen you around here. Are you like new in town? Because you look new," Dana’s eyes shifted, to the mirror on the wall, she realized that didn’t make things better, staring at the blonde’s smooth back just brought things closer to the surface.

"Well, I’ve lived in California my whole life so in that respect no, I’m not new, but I haven’t officially come out. There’s really no need for anyone to know my personal business at work and my parents, aren’t around enough to care so…" Dana couldn’t believe she’d given that much information in one paragraph, this blonde knew more about her in five minutes than most of her co-workers knew in the three-years they’d worked with her. Alice smiled, as the dryer turned off, and held her shirt up to the light looking for some trace of the sticky drink.

"Wow, I think we got most of it…so can I buy you a drink, since my shirt enjoyed the last one." Dana chuckled and smiled as Alice threw her shirt over her head,
