Dana just watched Alice sing her heart out as the theme song played.
“…Where you lead …I will follow,” Alice continued to sing, unaware
of the volumes her voice was now beginning to take. “Anywhere… that
you tell me to. If you need …you need me to be with you …I will
follow, oh ohh …where you lead….”

Dana started laughing and shaking her head unbelievably at her
girlfriend. “God… I must be soooooooo in love with you to find that
attractive…” The words were out of her mouth before she knew it, but
decided instantly that she didn’t regret it, so Dana just continued
watching as different scenes of the show flashed with the theme song.

Alice suddenly stopped singing. The television wasn’t on very loud,
though her singing would’ve prevented her from hearing a knock at the
door. But, for some reason, she heard Dana’s words very clearly. She
turned her head to look at Dana, smiling to herself at how the tennis
player was playing it cool. Alice could not have asked for more! Dana
had told her she loved her! Not in the heat of the moment during *****.
Not when Alice pressured her to. Not even during a romantic setting.
No, Dana had told her in the most insignificant of moments and, to
Alice that meant more than any special gesture she or Dana could ever
come up with. She knew what Dana said was real because she’d said it in
passing. It wasn’t planned, and it sure as ***** wasn’t scripted!
Straight from Dana’s heart, the words had slipped out.

Alice couldn’t hold herself back anymore, she turned to her side fully
so she was facing Dana and moved forward, catching Dana by surprise as
she pushed her down on the couch, laid on top of her and captured her
lips. Dana was just about to part her lips to let Alice’s tongue
explore her mouth when she heard the sound of the show coming back from
commercial. She moved her head to the side to look and tried to gesture
with her hands, which Alice had pinned down at the wrists, to get the
blonde to look at the screen.

“Hey, Al… you’re missing it …the one time you’re home and-”

“Dana, just shut up… I really do not wanna hear about the Gilmore
girls right now.” Alice said plainly, her voice getting lower and
sultrier.
