“I love you more.” Jordana wraps her arms around Alice and holds her tight.

“Maybe later tonight, lets go to the beach.” Jordana nods her head in acceptance. “I need a shower.”

“Do you want me to join you?” Alice looks at Jordana and smiles. She grabs her hand and goes back into the room.

            Jenny takes a drink of her coffee and sits it on the rail of the patio. She grabs her pack of cigarettes and lights it. She exhales deeply and blew out the smoke. She scratches her head and looks out at the ocean. She closes her eyes and feels the water hit her face. She licks her lips and tastes the salt from the water. She felt someone behind her and turns around. She turns back around and takes a drag of her almost gone cigarette.

“Hi.” Veronica stands next to Jenny with a cup of coffee.

“Hi.”

“Beautiful morning isn’t it?” Jenny nods her head in agreement. “I can’t believe the view out here it’s so-.” Jenny cuts her off.

“Veronica, get to the point.”

“What are you talking about?” Jenny looks at her in her eyes.

“I know you came out here for a reason, and it wasn’t to strike up a conversation. So come out with it.” Veronica drops her head cause Jenny was right. She takes a deep breath and lifts her head.

“I’m sorry, I’m not a good talker.” Jenny shrugged her shoulders and looks out at the ocean. “Jenny, I know I only met you yesterday, but I’ve been attach to you. I would really like to know you more and then some.” Jenny places her fist under her chin and listens to what she has to say. “I know you’re with Marina, and she’s my best friend, I don’t think she’ll like me messing with what belongs to her.” Jenny rolls her eyes. “I just thought maybe we could talk and get to know each other better.”

“Would you really like to know me?” Veronica nods her head yes. “Would you like to know my dark secrets? Or my deepest fantasies? Or my broken childhood? Maybe you would like to know about that. Or maybe you would like to know about my ruined life with my engagement with the man I thought was the love of my life. What would you like to know first Veronica? Please tell me?” Jenny stands there with tears in her eyes. Veronica tries to touch Jenny, but she pushes her hand away. Veronica tries to comfort her, but Jenny fights her off.
