“Alice, I’m close, I’m…coming” Dana said breathlessly.

 “Me too baby” I watched Dana as she came, a long groan emitting from her and I was not far behind her, the orgasm bringing tears to my eyes as sweat dripped down my forehead. As we both became limp we looked at each other and I kissed Dana hard on the lips, before resting my head on her chest, which rose up and down with her fast breathing.

Dana

We stayed like that, catching our breath, for several minutes, neither of us talking. When my heartbeat had slowed down again I kissed Alice on the top of her head.

I began thinking about what had been on my mind all day again. There was a question I had wanted to ask Alice but had not had the chance to. I was planning to ask her the next day but it seemed like the right moment, cuddled together after our amazing love-making. However Alice hadn’t actually said anything in a few minutes and I wondered if she had fallen asleep.

“Alice?” I said softly. I felt Alice stir.

“Yeah?”

I took a deep breath, unsure of what her reaction would be to what I was about to say. “I have Wimbledon in four days”

Alice swiftly sat up and looked at me with a shocked expression. “Shit Dane I totally forgot! I’m so sorry. Four days? How long are you gonna be away for?” Alice’s eyes suddenly looked sad and pained.

“It depends how well I do. If I get to the final I would have to be there for two weeks” I hated seeing how sad Alice looked “But I probably won’t that far so it might not be that long”

Alice laid her head back onto my chest. “Of course you will Dane, you’re gonna do great. I’m gonna miss you so much but I want you to concentrate on the competition and kick ass ok?”

“Actually Al, I’ve been thinking. Why don’t you come with me?” Alice’s head darted straight back up to look at me again.

“Come with you to London?” I smiled at her.

“Yeah, I know for a fact I’d be more relaxed with you there and I don’t think I would be able to be away from you for that long, it would just mess up my game”. The next thing I knew Alice was smothering me in kisses and I took that as a yes. “So you’ll come?” Alice paused her kisses to sit up and look at me.

“Of course I’ll come Dane!” With that Alice moved in to kiss me, her hands cupping my face. When we pulled apart Alice once again looked me straight in the eyes and her expression had turned serious. “I love you”

She had said it so quietly at first I wasn’t sure she had actually said it. I knew exactly what I was going to say back. “I love you too” And I knew that this was the truth, I love Alice so much.

We went on to make love again, before snuggling up together, our arms wrapped around each other and falling into a content sleep. That night I dreamt of lifting the winning silver plate at Wimbledon, tears in my eyes, with Alice applauding in the crowd and grinning at me.
