“Shit Dane look at the size of this bath!” I said walking into the en-suite bathroom. There was a gleaming white bathtub that took up nearly an entire wall of the bathroom. Dana came up behind me and put her arms around my waist, resting her chin on my shoulder.

“We should definitely try that later” I smiled to myself, thinking of the pleasures ahead of us on this trip.

I span around and captured Dana’s lips in a kiss. “You have gotta take me on more of your tennis trips, if I had known you stayed in places like this I would have insisted you took me every time”

“I’m sorry about all the photographers, they get really annoying” Dana frowned. I know that all the attention from the media is not Dana’s favourite part of her job; she is a very private person. I do know though that Dana would put up with almost anything for her career, because she loves tennis so much. It’s her love and commitment to the sport that has got her so far and I was confident that she would do well in the competition.

“That’s okay, I’m proud to be the one that’s seen with you, I just hope I don’t look like complete shit” I looked down to inspect my clothes, torn jeans and a Fred Segal t-shirt was not the most glamorous of outfits, but I had not expected such attention.

“Of course you don’t look like shit Al, you never do, you always look beautiful” Dana smiled at me and cupped my face with her hands.

“Okay, not true but thank you anyway” Our lips met once again into what quickly became a very passionate and heated clinch.

Dana

Our embrace was interrupted by a knock at the door and I groaned, I wanted to spend as much time alone with Alice before my first game tomorrow. In the back of my mind though I did know that I needed to get training. I opened the door to find George waiting “I know you’ve just got here but you need to get into that gym asap, sorry Dana”
