On the other end of the phone Leisha was caught off guard when Dana answered the phone. She had not expected to hear the tennis players voice. “I thought you had a training thing?” She asked trying to keep the surprise out of her voice.

“Oh. I cancelled it.” Dana answered not wanting to bring up the previous night until Leisha did.

“Oh. I called because I wanted to talk to you about last night.” Well at least she got right to the point Dana thought.

“WellDo you think that we should do this over the phone?” Dana asked wrapping a towel around her and heading to the bedroom.

“Wellwhy not?”

“UhOK” Dana shrugged surprised that she didn’t feel more awkward about the conversation. Dana paused and then, “Leisha, I-” Dana’s nerves jumped as she tried to explain to Leisha that what had happened the night before was a mistake. “Imaybe we should talk about this later.”

“OK, Dana.” Leisha agreed sensing her anxiety. “I’ll give you a call later to see what you’re up to.” Dana’s tongue snaked out to lick her bottom lip before she pulled it into her mouth and bit down in concentration. She had been prepared to tell Leisha that she didn’t think that they should continue to see each other, but something else was telling her that she still wanted to get to know her. But before her confusion could grip her any further Dana shook her head and started to get dressed to go on her road trip with Lara. Whatever was going on with her and Leisha could wait till later

Alice looked at Mark not believing that he had brought her to a strip club. “No way.” She looked at him refusal written all over her face.

“Oh come on Al. It will be fun.”

“I repeat. No. You have a girlfriend. Who I like. And you have a bad tendency to get yourself into bad situations at these places.” Alice looked at him sternly. “I am not going to be a part of you ***** up the best relationship that you’ve ever had.”

“what are you talking about? Getting into situations. There hasn’t been any situations.” Mark tried to defend himself.

“Tracey?”

“That was a complete mistake. There was no situation. She was going to break up with me anyway.”
