Dana got out of the shower, dried herself off and went and put on some comfortable clothes. Dana was trying to come up with ideas to surprise Alice. She wanted to do something nice for her. She hated the way that Alice had ended up leaving. Dana had finally decided on sending Alice flowers. Dana didn’t want to go over board she didn’t want Alice to suspect anything so she sent her half a dozen red roses. “Man being nice really makes you hungry” Dana opened the refrigerator door and stuck her head in. There was nothing in the frig. “Damn it”. Dana was bored, hungry and she was alone. She picked up the phone.

“Shane speaking”

“SHHHHHHANE! I am bored to tears and starving please save me”

“Oh you are alive!”

“I am you can stop worrying now, can you come over please and can you bring food, lots of it”

“Who said I was worried? I can’t come over right now I am having coffee with Alice since I haven’t spoken to her for ages.” Shane looked at Alice who was sitting at their table sipping coffee.

Dana felt a little sad she wished that it was her sitting with Alice who knows it could have been if Dana hadn’t of acted like a jerk.

“Hey Dane I better go Alice is on her lunch break but when she leaves I will come over and I will bring some food over ok”

“My savior! Umm Shane can you tell Alice I said hello?”

“Sure. See you soon”

“Thanks Shane, bye”

Shane hung up and put her mobile back in her pocket and walked back over to Alice. “One of your admirers?” Shane chuckled “You could say that. It was Dana she says hello.” Alice shot her head up and smiled a little “Really that’s nice. How is she?” Alice took a sip of her coffee pretending to not be that interested. “Yeh she is good, hungry and bored apparently so I am going over her house soon to feed and entertain her, you know the usual.” Alice nodded. “I am actually pretty exited I get to see this ‘plastic mask thing’.” Alice looked at Shane with an extremely serious face and squeezed her hand tightly  “Shane listen to me don’t you dare laugh she is very sensitive, if you laugh at her I will kick your ass.” Alice let go of Shane’s hand and took another sip of her coffee as if nothing happened. Shane rubbed her hand “Jesus Al no need to break my hand. Why should you care anyway you guys had a fight last night didn’t you?”  Alice put down her coffee cup and fiddled with her fingers. “Yeh we did… it was stupid” Shane tried to catch Alice’s gaze “You never really did tell me what it was about…” Alice raised her head slowly and met the stare of Shane and jumped a little “Oh sorry Shane I was a million miles away… umm it doesn’t matter I have to get back to work I don’t want to get into trouble I have been ‘sick’ for two days. I will call you sometime, tell Dana I said hello.” Alice gulped down the last bit of coffee and grabbed her bag. “Alice how is Daniel?” Shane winked. Alice’s eyes went really wide “Fuck! I really have to go.” Alice practically ran to her car and left Shane sitting in the café wondering what the hell just happened. Alice hopped into her car and started the journey back to work. “Daniel… Daniel… How could I forget about Daniel?” Daniel was this charming blonde hair blue eyed pilot Alice had being seeing for about two weeks. Well he flew little planes around. It wasn’t serious it was just sort of a fling for Alice to get over Gabby. Basically some plain boring uncomplicated boy girl sex. Alice had been meaning to break it off with him but it just never happened.
