Dana was taken away at Alices confession, Alice had loved her that way as long as she loved Alice, maybe even longerhow could she have not seen it? Dana walked over to sit next to Alice and looked at the smiling Alice right in the eyes, You couldve told me Al, you SHOULDVE told me, that way it wouldnt have been so hard.

Alice tangled their fingers together again, yea? Well when was I supposed to, when you whereve with Lara or while you were with Tonya? There was never a time.

Dana smiled, you couldve came like at 4 in the morning while they were sleepingsowhat should we do about this Al? What do you

Before Dana could finish the sentence, Alice moved in quickly to capture Danas lips, and to Alices advantage she caught it just when Danas mouth was opened. Alice quickly slid her tongue into Danas mouth and pulled her closer for a deeper, more sensual kiss. Alice heard Dana moan and felt her hands move to her back, Dana was pulling Alice closer. Things were heating up, and there was no stopping nowat least not for Dana. Just as Dana was going to lay Alice down on her back, Alice pulled away from their kiss.

Alice put their foreheads together, Dana, maybe we should slow it down a bit.

Dana was still in the moment, okso you want me to light some candlesput some music onI can kiss you slower Al, its just that Ive been waiting for this for like

Alice interrupted Dana, no Dane, I mean, I dont think we should sleep together on the night we confessed our love for each otherI meanyea its romantic and allbut we havent been on a date yetand wellwe both know how you get sea sickand I really dont want you to throw up on me while were making love.

Dana laughed at Alices ranting, okI dont want to push anythingbut Al?

Alice was playing with Danas hands, Yea?.

Dana smiled as Alice traced a heart in her palm, Can we still sleep in the same bed?

Alice smiled, as long as you dont try to molest me while were sleeping.

Dana laughed at first then got serious and kissed Alice, I just want to hold you AliceIve been wanting to do that for a long time.

Alice kissed Dana and smiled, Wellwhy didnt you say so?

With that Alice grabbed Danas hand and pulled her into the bedroom.

They laid there in each others arms, neither one of them wanted to fall asleep because they didnt want to wake up to find that the whole thing was just a dream.

Alice whispered, Dane? do any of our friends know?

Dana said, Shane, Carmen, Bette and Tina found out, but all they know is my side.

Alice smiled, yea well, Yoda knows all the ***** that happens, is it ok, that when we get back, we not tell them yet?

Dana was a bit confused and hurt, ummmif thats what you want.

Alice turned to face Dana, I just want Us to be a couple for ourselves firstthen be a couple in front of our friends, you know?.

Dana realized Alice had a point there. They didnt want to have to live by their friends expectations and make it seem like their relatuonship was just for show, they still had to prove to themselves that what was going on was between them and only them.

Alice kissed Dana and smiled again, and you know what they say about sneaking aroundits so ***** fun!
