“Is that ok with you?  That she’s… gay?”

            “Well why the hell wouldn’t I be ok with it, I’m gay?” snapped Sam giving Shane a very cold look.

            “Cuz, well, you gonna compare her to CJ now?” asked Shane timidly.

            “No, just because they LOOKED alike, certainly didn’t mean they acted alike, ever.  If anything, they were polar opposites.  Why would I care if she was or wasn’t?” asked Sam of Shane.

            Shane shrugged, wishing now that she’d have kissed Sam earlier, because now there was no way she was going to be able to talk to Sam, she was to riled up.

            “I’ve always seen Jayden as Jayden, but… her parents did the whole comparing thing.  I don’t know, long as she is happy,” said Sam with a small grin on her face.  “So, exactly what are you doing here?  Mid afternoon bootycall?”  said Sam batting her grey eyes at Shane.

            “Hey!”

            “What?”

            “You know, that’s insulting, we’re friends, right?” asked Shane with hurt in her eyes. 

            “We were sex first, though, were we not?” asked Sam still trying to keep the moment light, but seeing that wasn’t what Shane had in mind.

            “So, that’s all I am to you?”  asked Shane.  “A fuck?”  Shane got up from her place by Sam, hands in her pockets, walking around the pool as if to leave. 

            Sam realized that Shane was serious, a turn of events for Shane, since Shane was usually the one to love ‘em and leave ‘em, “Hey, Shane?  We are… friends.  I was…  I’m a lil tweeked, good pain meds,” said Sam as she wiggled her eyebrows.

            “You are supposed to be recovering, and not planning your next hook up you two,” said Alice from the door, holding a bottle of tequila in one hand.

            “That is certainly going to help, mixing drugs and alcohol, not a good thing, hand that over here,” smiled Sam, waving her good hand to Alice, who walked over and took Shane’s place.  “Come on, Shane, have a drink with us.”

            Shane looked at Alice with wondering eyes, unsure what Alice was doing there. “Naw, I’ll pass.”
