Alice, Dana, Im so sorry Im late. Tina rushed over and threw herself into a chair, falling back.

So… whats the excuse today? Alice asked bluntly.

I got up early and went to work for a couple of hours. Well, time got the best of me and I lost track. Sorry.

Why are you working on a Saturday? You shouldve been at home in bed with Bette. Dana commented.

Not having *****. Alice smirked.

Tina glared at her. For your information, we have been very good and it will pay off on the wedding night. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Or hornier. Whichever you prefer. Or both! Alice laughed. Dana chuckled.

At least I can say Ill be getting some in a week which is better than you. Am I right? Tina shot Alice a sly grin.

Dana covered her mouth as laughter burst out. Ouch! Alice, shes got you beat.

Well, shall we go shopping? I think Ive had enough of this immature and shallow conversation. Ladies? Alice stood and motioned for the other women to follow.

They left the coffee shop and headed out to find Alice and Dana the best wedding outfits they could find. Luck was with them throughout their journey, and they both spotted outfits that looked as if they were made for them. After their shopping expedition, they went back to Tinas for an afternoon snack.

Walking into her apartment, Alice exclaimed, It looks as if a bomb exploded in here, Tina. What the ***** happened?

Dana stepped inside behind Alice and said, Wow.

Sorry guys, I told you it was a mess.

Thats an understatment. Alice muttered to Dana who nodded in agreement.

Papers were scattered all over the couch and living room floor. Dishes were piled in the sink and all over the counter. Clothes were protruding out of her bedroom door as if trying to escape the horror inside. Books piled on the floor next to empty beer bottles and miscellaneous shoes. Tina grinned sheepishly at Alice and Dana. She cleared a spot off on the couch for them.
