            Alice closed her laptop and took off her glasses.

“Finished.” She looked up at Dana and smiled. Dana took a drink of her protein shake and walked over to Alice. “I’m free for the rest of the day.”

“You want to go to the park?” Alice looked up at Dana and smiled.

“That sounds fun. I would love to.” Alice got out of her chair and kissed Dana softly. “Mmm, you lips taste fruity.” Dana smiled.

“Wanna taste?” Alice took a drink of Dana’s shake. “You like?” Alice nodded.

“I do,” Alice kissed Dana once more. “I’m gonna grab my jacket.” Alice began to walk away, and Dana smacked her butt. Dana finished her drink and put the cup in the sink. She belched out loud and covered her mouth.

“Excuse me,” she laughed softly and put on her shoes. She grabbed the keys for the Subaru and waited for Alice.

            Jenny smiled at Elle as she took a drink of her juice. Elle took a seat across from Jenny and let her continue to talk.

“I don’t know if you want to know the rest about me. I don’t think I’m interesting.” Elle smiled.

“Moved to LA with your boyfriend, get involved with a woman, boyfriend finds out, marries you out of confusion and hurt. Divorces you, meets someone new whos in love with your roommate, and then you let go of her so she can be with your roommate and the list goes on. I think you’re very interesting.” Elle put her hand under her chin and stare into Jennys big, green eyes. “I’m amazed by you.”

“Why?” Jenny took a drink out of her cup.

“Because you’re unique, and you know you have problems. You’re not afraid to face them, and you’re very outspoken. I love that in a woman.” Jenny blushed and dropped her head. She looked into Elle’s ocean blue-green eyes.

“What about you? Do you have any issues you like to spill?” Elle laughed softly. She twirled her straw around in her cup.

“I’m twenty-five years old Pisces, who hates meat. I love 80s music, and I’m a big fan of The Revolution. I swear like a sailor and smoke packs of cigarettes. I’m from a single parent family, and then my mom didn’t want to take care of me anymore. I was put in a foster home at the age of nine. I found out I was a dyke at the tender age of thirteen and fell in love with my foster brother’s girlfriend: she was seventeen. When I was eighteen, moved out of the home and made it on my own without any help. I never saw my mother again, since she left me to take care of myself. I work at Rave, the new club in WeHo for gays and lesbians. I’ve only had two girlfriends and now, I’m looking to have fun.” She smiled at Jenny.

“Well, Miss Elle. Your life sounds a little complicated, but not as bad as mine.” Jenny laughed softly. “But, I’m glad that we can both understand each other.”

“I’m glad that I found you.” Elle reached over and grabbed Jenny’s hand.

“I’ve only known you for two hours, and I’m liking you already”. Elle bowed her head and smiled.

“Would you like to come back to my place?” Jenny looked up at Elle.

“Yeah.” Elle smiled and got up from the bench. Jenny stood up and grabbed her cup. Elle held a hold of her hand as they walked away from the market.
