They walked into The Planet, Dana had heard of the café that turned into one of the hottest clubs at night but she had never ventured through its doors. They were greeted by a bubbly woman who hugged Alice.

“Girl where you been?”

“Hey Kit, yeah sorry, I’ve been around but keeping it low.”

“No sweat pretty girl, you just know how worried I get. Shane’s just gone to the bathroom.”

“Cool can I grab a coffee then? Dana you want something?”

“Girl I was wondering if this lovely lady had a name.”

Alice grinned at Kit then looked at Dana. Throughout the short conversation Dana had been watching the two women, whoever Kit was she seemed to care a lot for Alice and the blonde was completely calm and not glancing around when she walked into the café.

“Sorry, forgot my manners. Kit this is Dana, Dana this is Kit she owns the place.”

“Girl I know who she is. I may not be a girl on girl participant but that don’t mean I’m clueless when it comes to the world famous.”

Dana blushed a little at the compliment, yeah she was a damn good tennis player, but she never classed herself as world famous. Alice noticed Dana’s shyness and entwined her fingers with the brunette’s giving them a little squeeze.

“Kit, stop embarrassing my girl.”

“Why don’t you two sit and I’ll send over coffee and breakfast.”

With that Kit walked away leaving the two woman to find a table. When they sat Dana noticed a slim, dark haired woman saunter over to the table. When she got to them she lay her hand on Alice’s shoulder, the blonde jumped a little but when she saw who it was she got up and pulled the over woman into a hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes and when they pulled apart the dark haired woman still kept her hands on Alice’s shoulders, she moved some hair out of the blonde’s face and gently ran her finger down her slightly swollen nose, leaning in she kissed the tip of the tender nose.

“He got you again?”

Dana watched the exchange with clenched teeth, so, this was Shane. This was the woman that Alice had risked everything for. She was slim with messy styled hair and was wearing jeans and a white shirt. The voice that spoke was low and husky and the eyes seemed to look deep into Alice, understanding everything the blonde went through. Dana didn’t know how to react to the obvious intimate and unsaid conversation that was being channelled through the two women; she was just about to leave when Alice pulled away from Shane, sat down and reached over to hold onto Dana’s hand. Shane sat and glanced at Dana she opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Kit who brought over three large coffees and a plate of pastries.
