After they finished the food and had arranged everything for the house warming Alice and Dana said their goodbyes to Sharon and head home. They sat down on the sofa and switched on the TV. Alice was tucked in under Dana’s arm her head resting on her shoulder were it fit perfectly in the crook of her neck. Dana kissed the top of the blonde’s head. ” So what do you want to do with the rest of the day baby? Do you want to go out tonight or would you like to stay in.” ” Well I have a plan or two for this evening baby but it is a surprise you will find out very soon though so don’t looked to disappointed.” Dana cracked a little smile at Alice doing her best puppy dog eyes. Alice straddled Dana’s lap putting her hands over Dana’s eyes. ” Ah ah Fairbanks no puppy dogs eyes you know I can’t take it when you do that.” Alice pushed some of Dana’s hair behind her ear she slowly lowered her head next to the brunette and whispered in a very low sexy voice she knew would leave Dana trembling. ” You will find out really soon baby once I have called my sister and things I will let you in on part of the secret.” She placed a light kiss on her neck and got up to go to the phone. Alice walked out of the room and went into her office sitting down in her huge chair behind her desk she took the phone and dialed a number that she hadn’t dialed in far to long.”

In the living room Dana was curious to why Alice had gone to the office to make the call instead of using the phone in the lounge but figured she just wanted her privacy after all it had been a while since Alice had spoken to anyone in her family other than her mother.”

In the office Alice was waiting for someone to pick. ” Hello” Alice was a little startled. ” Urm Hello Jo is that you?” ” Little sis?” ” Yeah Jo it is me.” ” Wow to what do I oh the pleasure.” ” So I have to have reason to call you now?” ” Well that tends to be it except holiday and birthdays.” ” Well I don’t see you making an effort to call and see how your little sister is doing.” ” I know am sorry Al we have really lost touch haven’t we?” ” Yeah we have Jo it has been to long.” There was a small silence and Alice spoke up again. ” So Jo how is everyone how are the kids I bet they must be so big now.” ” Oh they are great yeah are growing up so fast it is so scary. Jess just started to walk, well not walk more like a stumble. And Phillip starts school after the summer.” ” Wow and how are you doing and how is Peter?” ” We are good Pete is trying to get Phillip into playing soccer the poor child is terrified and runs the other way when the ball comes any were near his head.” ” I don’t blame him. And how are you big sis?” ” Yeah am good I was thinking of you the other day actually.” ” You were.” Alice was a little surprised. ” Don’t sound so surprised Al. You are still my sister you know of course I think of you.” ” And what were you thinking.” ” That I miss how we used to be when we were younger we were real close back then and when I left home and you started college it all just disappeared and we didn’t work hard enough to keep in touch.” ” You were thinking that. Well it is true neither of us made the effort and when I finished college and moved to West Hollywood we just stopped trying. I miss our times when we used to just go to lunch or shopping they were good times weren’t they?” ” Yeah sis they were. So how are you Al? You seeing anybody special yet or you still undecided?” ” Well big sis that is part of the reason why I am calling you.” ” Oh really. Are you going to tell me your getting married.” ” Not quite I was calling you to invite you to my house warming.” ” Your moving house? Wait your moving in with somebody? Al how long have you known them and if it has been a while why don’t I know about it, mom mentioned you were dating someone a few months back but she said it wasn’t serious she didn’t think.” ” Well mom was very wrong. I don’t know why I never told you I guess it just never came up it is not like we ever really talk that much any more.” ” I know am sorry Al. So come on fill me in.” ” Yeah am sorry to Jo. Well her name is Dana Fairbanks and she is.” Jolene cut Alice off. ” Hold up you are dating Dana Fairbanks. You have moved in with her.” ” Yeah. And don’t sound so surprised.” ” Sorry am just a little shocked how did you meet.” ” Jo we have been friends for about 8 nearly nine years you actually met her once.” ” I did?” ” Yeah that is what I said it was only a flying visit?” ” Oh. So how long have you been together?” ” Almost a year.” ” Really and I only just heard about this.” ” I know am sorry, but I want to work on us getting back in touch I want Dana to know you guys and you really need to know her.” ” Yeah I would like that Al cause am still your big sis and I need to make sure this girl is good enough for you even if she is Dana Fairbanks.” ” Oh Jo she is totally good enough too good in fact.” ” Well I will be the judge of that. So when is this house warming of your Al that seems like the perfect time to get to know Dana.” ” Well it is two weeks from today I would really love it if you guys could make it up here.” ” Hold on just a sec I will ask Pete if he has made any plans I don’t think we have anything No we are good we will definitely be there.” ” You will. Oh Jo that is great are you going to bring the Kids.” ” Well I was going to get a sitter that way I can have few drinks with my sister and we will stay at a hotel and head back the next day.” ” No don’t do that bring the kids because I will get Bette and Tina to bring Angelica and there nanny over. That way we can all have a drink and the kids will be watched over and you guys are totally staying with us there is plenty of room for you here.” ” Oh Al you don’t have to go to all that trouble the hotel will be fine.” ” Fuck the hotel I want to see my niece and nephew and dragging them off to a hotel late at night is mean so they can just be put to bed and we can party the night away like the good old days.” ” Ok if that is what you want?” “Yes it is. Can you do me a favor can you let mom and Jay know and then get back to me with who is coming and who is staying with us, I would do it but I have to surprise Dana. I wasn’t expecting to be on the phone with you for so long.” ” Sure I will let them know and I will make sure they are all coming. So what is the surprise for Dana, or do I not want to know.” ” Ha very funny Jo. I am actually planning to take her out for dinner.” ” Why is that a surprise.” ” Well because we have been friends for so long we never really ask each other on dates it is just going out together you know a mutual agreement or something so I am sat in my office and once I am done talking to you I will call her cell and ask her out on an official date. Is it stupid.” ” No Al it is not stupid it very sweet and I am sure Dana will love it. Were is she.” ” Sat in the lounge I think. That is were I left her.” ” Well I will let you go Al, I will speak to you soon how about I call you back tomorrow and let you know what is happening with mom and Jay I don’t want to interrupt anything this evening.” ” Thanks Jo you’re a star. I will speak to you tomorrow.” ” Yeah have a nice date sis. I love you.” Alice let a small smile crack her face unaware that her sister was doing exactly the same. ” Yeah I love you to Jo. Tell Pete I said hi and tell the I love them and will see them real soon.” ” I will take care bye Al.” ” Bye Jo” Alice hung up the phone and smiled feeling very happy with how here conversation went with her sister they hadn’t talked like that in far to long.
