Damn.

What did you say to her?

I didnt say anything! Why is this my fault?

Hey, hey. I didnt mean it that way.

I know.

What happened?

Bette freaked out. Thats all. Shes still sorting out her feelings.

Tina joined Alice and Bette, Wheres Bette?

Uhh. Bette. Alice, know where Bette went?

Bette who?

Ok, you two. Whatd you do to her? Before either Alice or Dana could answer, there was a knock on the door. Tina answered it. Bette stood in front of her. Hi, T.

I was beginning to think you stood me up.

Im sorry.

Bette, come inside.

Ill wait out here, if you dont mind.

Then just let me say bye to the girls and grab my coat. Tina returned to the kitchen, Ill see youlater.

Bye, Tina, Alice eyes were fixed on the table.

Dana smiled, Have fun. She turned towards Alice, Spill it. Whats wrong?

Nothing.

Dont shut me out, Al. I know something is up. Dana ran her hand through her hair, Do you love her?

No! Yes. No. You know what I mean. Im notin love with her.

Ok. Thats all I need to know.

Dana, I wanted to kiss her. Alice sniffled,
Why did I?

Dana took a long swig of water, Youd have to tell me.

Are you upset?

Not really upset. Jealousyeah. I understand history, Al. I know yours. I know you keep going back no matter how wrong your relationships are.

Dana, Im not.

Hear me out. I cant stop you from flirting with other womenerr people. And-and you can, but if you want someone elsetell me first. Please.

Dana. Sweetie. Alice hated using sweetie, it reminded her of Tonya, Honey, she corrected. Its nothing. Im not in love with her. Believe me.

I do believe you, Al.

Do you know how much I love you? How much Im in love with you? This ***** tears me apart! I dont understand. Whats wrong with me?

Dana had no idea what was going on. She watched Alice in awe. Her girlfriend was falling apart in front of her for no reason. She didnt mean to sound confrontational or accusatory; she merely wanted to remove the guilt Alice must have been feeling while setting boundaries at the same time. She was pretty confident that Alice and Bette would never sleep together. She didnt think Bette would ever risk losing Tina again. She hugged Alice. Theres nothing wrong with you.

Do you want to kiss other people?

Dana reflected for a moment before answering, I cant say that I dont, but right now I only want to kiss you.

Hold on, so whose lips are you wondering about kissing besides mine?

Angelina has some nice lips. Very full and
juicy.

Youre such a dork. Picking a celebrity. Can I ask you a question?

You just did.

Haha. Have you ever compared-

Al, you dont compare.

Aww, thanks, She blushed. But I was going to say how different people kiss. Like if you had just one adjective to use what would it be?

Lara was soft. Her lips were soft. Tonya kissed like she knew what you wanted. What would that adjective be? Hmm. I cant think of a word. Well, what about you?

Lets see. Gabby would be hungry. Bettes kisses are thoughtful.

Thoughtful? Whats that like?

I cant describe it. But when you kiss her, its the only word that could come to mind.

You only picked women, what about men?

Its so different, Dane. Kissing a guy. Its rougher, not necessarily a bad thing. Andrew was a good kisser. He knew how to use his tongue.

Dana scrunched her face, Eww. Over share.

He had a way of licking my lips that was so hot. I guess lusty.

What about me?

Smiley. I like how you smile when we kiss.

Am I good?

Of course, baby. Your kisses are surprisingly bold. It catches me off guard sometimes because when I think of you I dont think bold. Its like a surprise every time.

Dana beamed with pride, Yours are so sweet and soft when you kiss sweet and soft and so passionate when you go for passionate. Extreme. You kiss to the extreme. Hmm. I wonder what Shanes like. Shes gotta be good from all that practice.

Yeah, good enough that one kiss and off goes your clothes. The two women fell into a fit of laughter.
