Without thinking Dana rolled her eyes and flared her nostrils, Well of course I have. Her face dropped as she realised what she had said. She quickly tried to recover, Havent you?

For a moment Alice tried to look hurt, but she couldnt repress the huge grin that spread across her face. Dana frowned and lightly punched her girlfriends arm, Al, dyou have to?

Whaaaat. Alice crossed and uncrossed her eyes, Just having a bit of fun with you Dane. She leant forward and lightly kissed Dana. You know I dont mean it.

Dana wasnt taking it lying down, a playful smile flitted across her face as she crossed her arms and looked at Alice, You didnt answer MY question.

Alice looked confused. Then it dawned on her. Oh, I see, you wanna know if I want to jump Shanes bones like you do, eh? She poked Dana playfully in the ribs.

Dana laughed then managed to regain her composure, her attempts to look serious where getting worse and worse as she tried to resist the excitement of Alices touch. She wiped another smirk off her lips, Yes.

Alice looked over at Shane again, and furrowed her brow as if in deep thought, Hmm, she murmured, stroking her chin.

Well? Danas arms where still folded as she awaited her girlfriends answer.

Alice turned back to look at Dana again, then looked back at Shane, then back at Dana, as if comparing the two. Danas face began to drop as she considered the fact that Alice might actually have been weighing up her options, seeing this Alice turned to face Dana, slipping her arms round the brunettes shoulders to meet at the back of her neck and pulling her in close, her lips brushed Danas ear as she whispered, I definitely chose the right friend.

Dana pulled back slightly, not sure at first if Alice was joking or if she had at some point considered choosing Shane over her. Then she saw the wide smile spread across Alices face, the one that told her that Alice was indeed, only joking in that inimitable Alice way that at times bordered on cruelty, but was always meant as a joke, despite the fact that at times it played on some of Danas worst insecurities.
