            Dana was putting on her shoes as Alice watched her get ready for training.

“So how long is the US Opens?” Dana threw her stuff in the bag.

“It’s all weekend long. It starts Friday, which is in two days and goes off until late Sunday evening.” Dana looked at Alice and smiled. “Babe, you think I can win?”

“I don’t think I know you’ll win.” Dana crawled onto the bed and kissed Alice softly. She pulled away and smiled.

“I love you.”

“I love you more; now get out of here before you’re late.” Dana kissed Alice one more time before getting off the bed.

“Alright, call me if you need anything. I’ll see you later. I love you.” She jogged out of the room.

“I love you too.” Alice smiled and scratched her head. She stretched, and the phone rang. She picked it up. “Hello? Hello?” The person hung up. Alice looked at the phone and put it down. “That was weird.” She got out of the bed and went into the bathroom.

            Carmen walked inside WAX and saw Shane skating on the ramp. She smiled softly and walked over to her. Shane saw Carmen and got off the skate board. She ran over to her and gave her a kiss.

“Hey,” Shane looked her up and down. “You look good.”

“Thanks.” Carmen looked down and looked back at Shane.

“What’s wrong?” Carmen shook her head.

“Oh, nothing I’m fine.” Carmen smiled. “Been busy at all?”

“No, it’s been slow today.” Shane looked at Carmen carefully. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah Shane, I’m fine.” Carmen sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. “I’m just been doing a lot of thinking that’s all.”

“About what?”

“Just stuff, it really isn’t that important.” Carmen licked her lips. “I’m gonna go, I’ll see you when you get home.” Carmen started to walk away. Shane grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She pulled her into a kiss and gave her a hug. Carmen wrapped her arms around her.

“I love you.” Shane kissed her cheek. Carmen closed her eyes.

“I love you too.” She pulled away from Shane who still had a hold of her hand. Shane held onto her hand until she wasn’t in reach. She watched Carmen walk out and walked back over to the ramp.

            Bette rolled around in the white, linen sheets and sighed. Helena smiled as she watched Bette in the bed. She took a drink of her coffee and walked away from the counter. Bette looked out of their 10^th story hotel window and smiled. Helena walked over to the bed and sat down.

“Good morning love.” Bette slowly sat up and stretched. She wrapped the sheet around her and pushed her hair out of her way. She looked over at Helena and kissed her. They pulled away, and Bette pecked her once more.

“Morning.” Bette brought her legs up to her chest and laid her head on her knees. “You’re up quite early. I thought you would still be sleeping after the night we had.” Helena smiled.

“I’m an early raiser, and I love to watch you sleep. You’re beautiful when you sleep.”

“Aren’t I beautiful all the time?” Bette smiled at her.

“Yes, you are.” Helena leaned back and stared at Bette. “You are right now. Your smile sparkles, your eyes glow, your body shines off the sun, and it’s perfect with you wrapped in a white sheet. You look stunning.” Bette smiled wider as Helena made her day.

“You know how to say the right things.” Helena smiled and took a drink of her coffee.

“Thank you, I’m glad you can see my talent.” Bette tilted her head and looked at Helena. Helena put her cup down and got on her knees and stood in front of Bette. Bette turned her head and looked at Helena. “You don’t know how beautiful you are right now. It’s making me want you so bad.” Bette smiled. “I’m going to ravish you all day. So enjoy.”

“I always do.” Helena smiled and kissed Bette passionately. Bette wrapped her arms around Helena’s neck and pulled her down to the bed.
