Holding out her hand, she said experimentally, "Dana?"
Dana couldn’t help but feel slightly at ease by the girl’s warm smile. Offering her own hand, the tennis player said, "Yes. You must be Tina."
The blonde grinned and said, "May I join you?"
Dana gestured to the empty seat and they both settled in; Tina putting her bag into an empty chair while Dana shifted in her seat.
The blonde didn’t make any moves to unpack a notepad and that flummoxed Dana. All of the interviews she had participated in revolved around some flighty sports writer taking pages of torturous notes.
Tina flagged down a waiter, ordering some soy latte thing that Dana couldn’t quite understand. She looked back at Dana and the tennis player said briefly to the waiter, "A black coffee and a glass of water."
Tina arched her eyebrows and said, "Thanks for meeting with me, Dana. I really appreciate it. You kind of saved my ass."
Dana looked on curiously and Tina smiled, continuing, "I’m not really trying to break into journalism or anything. I’m a film and marketing major. Anyway, I enrolled in this media class and it’s sort of a requirement that you apply for a position with the newspaper here at school. I didn’t really think I’d get it but here I am, right? Anyway, the editor’s a friend of mine and he suggested a piece on up and coming athletes, and you intrigued me."
Dana looked truly befuddled at Tina’s explanation and the idea that she could intrigue a complete stranger.
She questioned simply, "Me?"
Tina grinned, taking hold of the cup the returned waiter offered her. "Yeah. According to all the stuff I’ve read, you’re a really promising
talent, Dana. The coaches here are floored by you."
Choking on a sip of her coffee, Dana said dazedly, "You talked to my coaches?"
Tina shrugged,saying, "I hope you’re not offended that I went straight to the source. A friend of mine works in the Athletic Department
and got me a phone interview with them."
Dana just shrugged, saying, "I don’t mind."
——-
An hour and a half later found the girls chuckling like old friends. Dana’s reserve had been cracked by Tina’s friendly, easy-going attitude and the blonde found Dana’s shyness utterly charming.

Frip so loved that Helena is a great friend to Al, and seeing that Al took the advice she was given. Now we see the Tina is in the picture and seems to have noticed how Dana reacted to Dana talking about Al, but didnt say a word. I love how Al an Dana are so corny that is it sweet at the same time…great chapter Frip.
Just as I was getting off line, I decided to check the page and come to find out who put up a new post. Well I guess I found out sooner than I thought. lol. I’m glad that Helena was there for Alice when she needed a friend. OOOhhhh, Miss Tina Kennard comes into the picture. I can kind of think of where this is going. I think. lol Dana and Alice are so cute together. I hope that the 3 days will go smoothingly for the two ladies, even though they won’t be together because of the different occasions. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh yeah, thanks for enjoy my last chapter!!!! PPS.
FANTASTASTIC!!! will there be some drama coming up? hmm i hope so i love it lol man i love this story keep up the good work!!! :)
I told Akiracolorblind that it would be an earlier night but instead I was catching up on some old blogs regarding the show. Again, at 3 am your post appeared. What could I say other than I must read it. Thank you for mentioning Crossroads by Goldrun15. I will get to it soon. Btw, I also have friends who think orange juice and ketchup are fruit and vegetables. I have a chuckle from it. I think as you get older, you will think differently. Anyway back to your story. In the last chapter, I also noticed the red head but I did not want to think, even an inkling, that she was into culinary. If so, bring her on. I believe A & D’s deep love for each other would help them to endure all hurdles coming their way. From the conversation with H, A’s fear was totally legitimate. There would be the Fairbanks and the whole tennis world that they had to deal with. I look forward to seeing how things will unfold. “Let him who desires peace prepare for war,” that’s deep and true. I also like the introduction of TK. Wow, another incredibly good chapter. I totally agreed with the effect they had on each other. I guess being in love, one could conquer all. Yes, for you, carte blanche will always stand. Please do not ever second guess your writing ability. If MT said you are good, YOU ARE GOOD, period. One last thing, you can always bring back the hand washing deleted scene in another chapter. I will love to read that. Thanks again for your post.
yeah there is a huge time difference between where I live and where you live. I’m guessing your from the USA? or not somewhere in the west? We have like a ten hour difference. I just had dinner with my friends so idk what you’d be doing at this hour. I’m so glad that I stopped to check who has posted, this is another great chapter from you. I just love happy Danish. It makes me smile all the time. I hope they’ll get though without seeing each other for two days lol. Thanks for the post. I’m looking forward to the next one.:)
