“Why did you have to open your mouth?”

“I’m sorry okay—what was I suppose to do? It all kind of slipped out actually.”

“I really wish you knew how to keep a secret.”

“I’m very bad at keeping secrets, and I know Helena will hate me for telling Shane.” Alice wrapped her arms around Tasha’s neck. “It was a naughty thing to do, and I think I need to be punish.” Tasha smiled and pulled Alice into a kiss.

                Helena took a drink of a beer at the Planet. Shane took a drag of her cigarette as Papi and her date danced on the floor. She looked over at Helena and smiled. Helena returned the smile and played with her bottle.

“So have you found a steady job yet?”

Helena shook her head. “No—I’m really not in a rush into looking for one.” She ran her finger around the edge of the bottle. “So how’s business for you?”

Shane smiled. “It’s doing great,” she took the last drag of her cigarette and snuffed it out. “Do you want to dance?” Helena looked at Shane and shook her head.

“Oh no—I’m not good at dancing.”

“I’m not either, but why not try?” Shane held her hand out, and Helena sighed.

“Why not?” She took Shane’s hand, and they walked out on the dance floor. They made their way through the crowd, and Helena stood with her hand on her arm. Shane looked at her and grabbed her hand again.

“C’mon, just move your feet.” She smiled at Helena, and Helena returned the smile. Helena slowly began to move her feet, and Shane began to move to the music. Helena began to relax and began to rock her hips to the music. Shane watched as Helena began to loosen herself up. Shane snaked her arm around Helena’s waist, and Helena froze as Shane pulled her close. Helena tried to rest her hands on Shane’s shoulder, but her hands were shaking. “It’s okay,” Shane smirked, and Helena slowly rested her hands on Shane’s shoulder. “Just relax and have fun. I’m not going to bite.” Helena smiled and began to move more provocatively to the music. She closed her eyes and began to roll her hips, and Shane held onto her waist. Papi pulled away from her date and watched Helena and Shane danced. She smiled as she watched and then looked away. Helena swung her hair, and Shane took a step back. Helena looked up and smiled.

“Sorry,” she smiled coyly.

“It’s okay—you’re just having fun,” Shane winked at her and ran her hand over Helena’s ass. Helena looked into Shane’s eyes, and Shane stared back at her. They both began to move forward, but Helena pulled away from Shane.

“I’m sorry, I can’t.” Helena walked away from Shane and walked through the crowd. Shane sighed and shoved her hand in her pocket. Papi walked over to Shane, and Shane looked to her right.

“So what was that about Vanilla spice?” She smirked, and Shane rolled her eyes.

“It’s none of your business Pops,” Shane licked her lips, and Papi chuckled. “What’s funny?” She looked at Papi.

“It’s funny to me man, I can tell that you really digging her.” Shane shook her head.

“No way—Helena’s just a friend.” She looked down at her feet, and Papi chuckled again and shook her head.

“You really must think I’m dumb man—you both are feeling each other, but don’t want to admit it.”

“A-Alice told me that Helena had a wet dream about me this morning.” Shane looked at Papi and looked away.

“Well—what are you planning on doing Vanilla?”

“I’m not going to do anything.” Papi touched Shane’s shoulder.

“If you let Helena get away from you, you’re a damn fool.” With that, Papi walked away from Shane’s side. Shane fixed her collar and saw Helena sitting at the bar taking a shot. She cleared her throat and walked towards the bar.
