Seriously? …Carmen withheld?

Well its not like I had an automatic right to expect in the first place.

No, but youre…you. Dont you loose your super ***** powers if you go more than 12 hours without an *****?

Shane rolled her eyes. For four of those at least five weeks

REALLY? Alices eyes went wide. Shane chuckled and nodded, taking the joint from Alice.

Really

Gotta give it to the girl. Who else would have known that the way to yank your chain was to not yank you. Shane could feel Alices thigh shake with laughter. Shane chuckled and shook her head, letting that one go as she took another hit and passed it back.

That wasnt it though…thats not why I finally did it.

She said as she really started to feel the effects. Alice played with Shanes hair gently.

I know, Shane…I know.

She continued to play with her friends hair absent mindedly, like shed never get the chance to do when Shane was sober.

 But what the ***** does this all have to do with *****? Shane giggled uncharacteristically.

You and your *****.

 Oh shut up, Dana Alice blew smoke down on Shane.

Shane barely reacted at first and then grinned

So how about Dana?

No no no…I got you high and now I pump you for information in your docile state.

Shane sighed and sat up, turning and leaning back against the other arm of the couch. She remained silent for a few beats, re-sparking the joint.

Oh come on, Ive been waiting like, millions of years to give you relationship advice. I seriously thought this day would never come. Now lay it on me.

Alice sat up on the couch, crossed her legs, and gave Shane her best all business face, which earned her a small smile.

Alright…the point is that this isnt just a random girl who I can take or leave if she isnt down for it. What if she says no? And what if she says yes and regrets it later? Or what if she interprites it as some grand statement about our relationship roles…

And what if she suddenly sprouts wings and takes flight?
