Dana returned the smile immediately. She thought that the journalist couldn’t be more beautiful with a long sleeve blue color blouse matched with black knee length skirt and black high heels. She tried very hard not to faint at that point of time.

“But why do you want to see me?” Alice asked. Dana thought that she should go ahead and tell the truth.

“I missed you so much that I couldn’t sleep well for two weeks. Then I thought I might as well pay you a visit.”

That’s it. That statement was enough to send Alice to heaven. She wanted to jump in excitement and yelled at the tip of her lung but didn’t want to scare the tennis player away. She wanted to do something. Is it appropriate to give her a hug? Or maybe a kiss? Where? On the cheek? Lips?

“Alice!”

“Huh?” Alice was snapped out from her thought. She turned around and saw someone walking towards her.

Dana furrowed her eyebrows as she thought who might be interrupting their beautiful conversation this late. She looked at the direction and saw a beautiful women approching the journalist.

“Michelle?” Alice raised her eyebrows and smiled nervously at Dana.

“Honey, I am waiting for you at the carpark. You are late and I’m worried sick about you.” Michelle wrapped her arm around Alice’s waist and kissed her lips. Dana winced at the sight. She felt as if her heart was stabbed multiple times with a sharp knife. She lowered her head when the kiss took place.

Alice pulled away from the kiss immediately and kept a distance between her and Michelle. She realized Dana was looking anywhere but her. She cursed herself that Michelle had to show up at this time.

“Hmm, I am ok.”Alice tried not to sound angry.

“Michelle, this is Dana Fairbanks, and Dana please meet Michelle Reis.”

Both shook hands and exchanged greetings.

“You are the winner of Wimbledon right? Whoa great to see you in person.” Michelle smiled and then looked at Alice.

“How do you met her hun?” Again Dana winced at Michelle calling Alice honey.

“Ohh, I met her during the press conference at Wimbledon.”

“Yeah.” Dana said looking at both of them.

“Umm I think I should go. Yeah, I’m supposed to meet my friends at a bar or something. Bye Alice. And nice to meet you Michelle.” Dana said and started to walked away. Alice knew that the tennis player was lying, but she didn’t know what to do, so she thought that it was best to let her go.

“Nice to meet you too.” Michelle yelled and looked back at Alice.

“Why is she here?”

“Hmm, she said she just passed by.”

Michelle raised her eyebrows. Alice shrugged her shoulder and turned to walk towards the carpark with Michelle followed closely behind. Shit shit shit, Alice muttered.
