Do you need a ride? Shane asked finishing off her coffee and leaving a few dollars extra on the table. Theres a reason Im their favorite. Shane said joking. They walked outside, the sun beating harder then Alice remembered it. She didnt understand how Dana could play tennis in this weather because it was hard for Alice just to walk outside. Shane however popped on her sunglasses and smiled. I love days like this. she said with a smile. Days were people cancel and i still get paid. You gotta call within 24 hours or i still get paid. She explained.

Yea. it was obvious Shane took pride in her truck. It was always clean, full of gas, and everything was organized. Her CDs had its own rack, and her personally items were carefully placed in the back. Alice, who had only been in Shanes apartment once, remembered how everything was scattered all over the place and all her clothes were unfolded and probably dirty. Shane…your truck is very…clean. Shane shrugged her shoulders.

Yea, its hard to have ***** in the backseat with a lot of ***** back there. And they neded the conversation there.

Later That Day (Still At The Planet)
Shane flipped through the newspaper just as Dana walked through the doors of the Planet looking stressed as she usual did after being around Tonya. Hey Shane, god Im so tired. Tonya thinks this marriage will work if i change completely. Or but not my size being she wont ***** a fat person. Shane smirked. I swear that woman is going to send me to an early grave!

Then dump her. Shane offered not putting down the newspaper again.

You know, when life gives me lemons i make lemonade… Dana said rolling her eyes.

When life gives me lime i stick them in a Corona and invite a horny cheerleader over. Shane said with a grin. Dana sat down in the same spot as Alice had early and muttered something under her breathe.

So, have you seen Alice yet?

Yes, and YES she did ask about you and yes she wants to see you and yes she wanted to call and no shes not pissed but YES she wants you all to herself. Shane said putting down her newspaper and looking up at Dana. So call her and let me read this ***** paper in peace! PLEASE! Because if i wanted to talk to a friggin manic Id go home to Jenny. Shane joked.

Alright. And that was that. Dana picked up her cellphone and starting dialing Alices cell number as she walked out of the Planet. Al?

Hey, i was going to call but Shane told me not to. Dana shook her head.

I know. I wanted to see you.

And Im sorry about that. Its hard, Id invite you over but Im not sire if you can. Dana checked the time.

Yea, i cant. Tonya has a meeting tomorrow though and i can skip practice and come over. Dana said hopeful.

Wont work. I have a meeting in San Diego with some Doctor.

Well, what about we meet early at the Planet? I can be there by eight. Alice thought about it.

I would, really but i have to leave at like seven to get there on time.

…Well can i come with? Ill tell Tonya you dont want to go by yourself because its a long ride. After all were friends. Dana protested.

Um, okay. Ill pick you up around 6:30. Alice tried to hide her excitement but she just couldnt. I love you!

I love you too. And then Dana hung up the phone. Within a minute Tonya called. Hey… And Dana wondered if itd always be like this…hiding, lying. …Of course. I love you too. She told Tonya. Then she hung up, looking forward to her day with Alice. Only problem, she was planning a life with Tonya…..
