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

Arrgghhh, Alice blurted. This was really driving her mad. Does Dana want her? She was asking herself the same question for weeks now. Shit. Alice stood up and walked towards her bedroom getting ready for coffee at the Planet.

At the Planet

Ok it is still early. Dana will be here only after 7, Alice said to herself when she made her way to the front door. She stopped abruptly once she reached there. She looked into the Planet through the window glass and saw no familiar face inside. She heaved a sigh, feeling a bit disappointed not seeing the brunette. Great, now go grab your coffee and get out of here. She made her way to the front door and when she pushed the door opened someone was doing the same. She looked to her right and stoned at her place. The person did the same. They stared at each other until someone behind cleared his throat.

“Ladies.”

Both were out of their trances. They brought their gaze to the guy at the same time and stared daggers at him. Knowing he might have probably interrupted something important he swallowed hard for the next sentence.

“Sorry may I go in?” He asked.

Both said nothing but took a step backwards to allow him to walk past.

“Thanks.” The guy quickly made his way inside the premise, thanked to god that he was still alive.

The two still stood at their same spot looking down to their feet. Knowing someone had to make the first move Dana exhaled and cleared her throat.

“Hi Al.” Dana stole a glance at her best friend before she looked down to her feet once more.

“Hi Dane.” Alice said almost inaudible but luckily Dana was near so she could hear her. She looked up and saw Dana smiling at her.

“Hmm, after you.” Dana pushed the door opened and motioned Alice to get in.

“Thanks.” Alice smiled shyly and brushed past Dana, which sent chills to the athlete’s body.

They settled on the table at the far corner.

“So….” Alice began.

“So…” Dana was trying to look for the suitable word. “Ermm Alice?”
