Armed with a beer she makes her way to high ground, perching herself on a step to scan the room. The dark red lights and occasional blast of strobe lights makes it hard to make out anyone. Harper gives up on her search, not even sure that Alice will show up tonight. ‘Who knows, maybe she decided it was a big mistake and is blowing me off.’ She thinks to herself. She doesn’t know this girl at all, maybe she’s not very punctual.

Deciding not to worry about it at the moment she makes herself comfortable leaning against the wall at the bottom of the stairs. At least here she can see the bar in case Alice shows.

As she is lifting her beer up to take a sip a body suddenly crashes against her, cool beer soaks her t-shirt.

“Oh my God!!! I am so sorry!” The long haired brunette says trying to regain her balance.

Harper lends her a hand, trying to steady her with her hand on her arm. “You ok?”

Dana flicks her hair off her face as she gets her bearings. Harper is immediately stunned by the beauty before her. “Yeah, I’m fine. I think I tripped on a bottle or something.” Dana looks around her feet and sees nothing. When she looks up she notices Harper’s soaking wet t-shirt. “Oh no, I… oh my God! I am such a klutz. You are drenched. Let me go get a towel or something.”

“It’s ok, really. It’s not a big deal. It’ll dry.” Harper just smiles at her truly not caring that her t-shirt is soaking wet. Or that beer has slowly run down her stomach and into her pants.

“Are you sure? No, really let me get a towel.” Dana is completely embarrassed.

“I promise you, it’s not a big deal. It will dry and it can be washed.” She gives Dana a reassuring smile.

Harper’s smile eases Dana into her own, her heart finally begins it’s normal pace. “At least let me buy you another beer. It’s the least I can do.”

“I appreciate the offer, but I am going to take it as a sign not to drink tonight.” Harper laughs.

“Ok.” Dana half smiles taking that as a cue to leave this girl alone and not cause her any more damage. “Have a good night.”
