“Hey guys, how are ya?” Carmen sat down next to Jenny, draping an arm round her shoulder.

Alice managed to look up from her cup, the embarrassment had subsided now she realised no one had noticed what her and Dana had been doing, or more specifically, what Dana had been doing to her. A welcoming grin spread across her face, “Good morning everyone.”

Dana looked up at Alice, the need to laugh out loud had passed, she looked round at the rest of her friends, “Yeah, How are you all?”

A slightly conspiratorial look passed between Shane and Carmen; sensing they had interrupted something. Carmen managed to wipe a smirk off her face as she gestured towards Alice then Dana, “What are you two doing in the Planet at” she looked at her watch, “eleven o’ clock on a Wednesday morning?”

Shane sat up, feeling slightly more human after her espresso, “Yeah, Dane, shouldn’t you be training?”

Jenny chimed in, “And shouldn’t you be preparing your radio show, Alice?”

Shane continued, “What are you two gainfully employed model citizens doing hanging out with us losers?”

“Well, actually, we were hanging out with each other,” Alice looked around at the three of them, “until you guys crashed.”

Shane shrugged, “Yeah, but we bought muffins.”

Alice and Dana looked at each other, then both reached for a muffin. Dana took a big bite, “Well that’s okay then.” she exclaimed through a mouthful of muffin.

Shane smirked, “And we did try to hold Jenny back until you’d finished your little under the table session.”

Alice spat muffin over the table as both she and Dana turned red again. Shane and Carmen laughed and Jenny looked mortified, she turned to Carmen, “Is that why you kept asking me what coffee I wanted?” She brought her hands up to her mouth.

Shane and Carmen stopped laughing and turned to look at Jenny. She’d turned almost as red as Dana and Alice, who were also now looking at her. Jenny bowed her head slightly, “Oh God, I’m so sorry.”

The girls all looked around the table at each other and then began to laugh. After a moment, Jenny joined in, able to see the funny side of her faux pas.
