“I’d love that.”

They women headed down the beach walking a little closer than they normally would have. Then Dana got a little bold and took her hand and placed it inside of Alice’s. Alice turned her head and gave Dana a big smile. They walked for what seemed like forever but neither of them care because the moment was just perfect. They took their time getting back to Dana’s each women not wanting it to end. Dana went in and got all the stuff she needed for the fire and came back out. Alice had already had a blanket laid down.

“You sure you know what you’re doing?”

“Yes Alice I do this all the time.”

It wasn’t long before Dana had a nice fire going. The women sat there just listening to the sounds of the beach and watching the wave’s crash in.

“So you’ve been in love with me Dane?”

“From the moment I met you.”

“So where do you want this to go if you want it to go anywhere?”

“I want to be with you Alice more than anything in the world, but I think right now you have a lot going on it has to be slow I don’t want to rush you into anything too soon.”

“I agree 100%. So how far do you see us going?”

“Forever. So how I found away to get lost in you, if you let me in let me get close I’ll change everything for you, I’ll change your mind about love and prove something worth having is worth fighting for. I’m nothing without you Alice.”

“I’m nothing without you too Dana. Let’s take is slow and see where it goes. I’m not ready to make things official I know that much. It’s a different territory we know each other has friends but not as lovers.”

“Like I said I didn’t want to rush anything Alice I love you too much to mess things up. Plus I’m old fashion I like to court a woman before I make it official.”

“I’d like that very much.”

Even with the fire Alice started to shiver and Dana took notice to this.

“Come here I’ll keep you warm.”

Alice came over to Dana and sat in front of her and Dana put her arms around her. It was amazing how perfectly Dana’s arms fit around Alice like they were made to be there. They stayed like that for hours just taking in each other and the lovely beach setting. The fire had been out a long time when Dana heard light snore coming from Alice. She picked her up and carried her up to her room and put her to bed. She gave her a light kiss on the forehead said I love you turned off the light and headed off to get some sleep herself.

“Nothing but sweet dreams tonight.”
