Alice

I glanced across at Dana, who was sitting across the table from me as we sat with our friends in The Planet, on our usual morning meeting in sunny Los Angeles. God she’s so beautiful. I’ve known her for years and I still can’t get over how beautiful she is. I stared across at Dana’s dazzling blue eyes, those eyes that I can so easily lose myself in. Then, my gaze drifted down, to Dana’s tight sports vest that clung perfectly to her breathtaking breasts, which were glistening slightly with perspiration, caused by Dana‘s training a little while before. Suddenly, I drifted out of my fantasy world and realized that I was staring intensely at Dana, which was making the tennis player look rather uncomfortable. I could feel my cheeks turning bright red and quickly turned my head down to focus on my coffee, feeling very embarrassed. I’m such an idiot! I’ve got to get over this and out of my stupid fantasy world! I don’t want her finding out my feelings. That would end out friendship for sure.

Suddenly I sensed Dana’s eyes staring at me. I looked up and…that was it, I was lost in her mesmerizing eyes. She was actually staring back into my own eyes! The moment seemed to last forever. For the first time that I could remember, I couldn’t work out what Dana was thinking, a quality I had perfected over the years. This baffled me. She can’t be feeling what I am feeling could she? No, of course she wasn’t.

The next thing I knew Dana had snapped her eyes away from my own and it was her turn to concentrate on her coffee mug. My cheeks felt warm as embarrassment set in again. What was I thinking? Of course she doesn’t feel the same way, why would she be? She was just daydreaming.

“So you guys coming to the party at Wax on Saturday night?” Shane asked. I continued to watch Dana as she looked up and nodded her head. “Of course, I’ll be there, can’t miss your big night can I!”.  I looked over to Shane. “Yeah, me too, wouldn’t miss it for the world”. I knew this Saturday was going to be fun. Shane, one of my closest friends, other than Dana, was opening her new salon at a skateboard shop, and I could not be happier for her. Plus, it would be another chance to be with Dana, every minute I was with her I was on cloud nine, even if she wasn’t aware of it!
