“Why are you guys arguing? You are best friends remember?”

Oh god I am so not ready to talk about this, Alice thought.

Dan decided he had to call a name in order to continue. “Dana?”

Dana looked as if she was a student that just got questioned for falling asleep in the lecture hall.

“Of course we are. And we…we argue because…..” Dana stuttered. No way I am going to confess my feelings here, Dana thought. She looked at Alice.

“Al do you have any idea?”

The blonde looked like she was about to run away.

“So Alice?” Dan raised his eyebrows again.

“Huh?” Alice snapped out from her plan of how to slip out without the therapist noticing.

“Well Dana asked whether you have any idea why you guys argue so much.”

“Erm I think it’s because….it’s because…”Alice looked at Dana and smacked her arm. “Gosh Dana of all the things in the world you have to direct this question back to me”

“Ouch.” Dana said.

Then it started again. They made face expressions, hand gestures and whispered into each other ear so that the therapist could not listen to what they were arguing.

Dan looked at the interaction between the two. They were just like an old married couple to him. He wondered what caused them to be so blind to realize the special person was just in front of each other. He thought it was time to have them think about it. Really think about it.

“Wow what a great connection you two have with each other.” This brought back the attention from the two. Before any of them could protest he continued.

 “Hmm should I say you guys crave for the attention from each other and find arguing the best way to get it?” Dan paused for a while to let this information sunk into them.

Oh my god how does he know? Dana was stunned and stoned at her seat.

Shit shit shit he’s really a living god, Alice muttered under her breath.

After a while Dan proceeded.

“What I observe from the very first moment you two come in is that you are very close to each other. With only one look one would know what the other thought. Then I see the small gestures. You two would steal glances at each other and brush each other hands and arms as if it is natural to do to your friends. And the smiles. Those smiles you give each other definitely mean something. The attraction is so strong that one is blind if he or she couldn’t see it. And most of all I see how you compliment each other and with just a snap of fingers you could say out about each other but when it comes to your exes, you two needed time to think but could just come out with one word. I see you two switched uncomfortably with the mentioned of each other exes. And most of all you could remember five years four months and twenty one days? That’s amazing.

“Urgh sorry it’s five years three months and twenty one days.” Alice corrected him.

“See that’s what I mean. From all these things I could safely say that you two are in love with each other but are too stubborn to admit. And with the connection you shared I have no doubt that you guys are meant for each other.” Dan wiggled his eyebrows. Alice swallowed hard at his statement while Dana fidgeted her hands like nobody business.

She feels the same way as I feel? We are meant for each other? Am I dreaming? Dana thought.

Dana Fairbanks is in love with me? Wow sounds good but really? Alice thought.

Both looked at everything except to each other.

Observing that Dana was the least stubborn between the two, he directed the last question to her.

“Dana please take note that this is your only chance to be honest with yourself. Do you want Alice?”

Alice had a hard time keeping her heart in place. This was what she wanted to know ever since they met. And she was about to get her answer.

Oh my god, Dana muttered. She swallowed hard.
