It was not that easy not to care about Tina. This was probably the most difficult problem any couple could ever go through. Alice desperately wanted to call Bette; to yell, to give her a  piece of her mind but she knew she couldn’t. She knew even though she was mad as ***** at Bette, Bette might be feeling very bad about herself. She also knew that Bette was a fighter, she would do anything to get Tina back, she loved Tina too much.

“Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?” Alice asked, knowing that there probably wasn’t anything she could do other than staying out of it. Tina smiled weakly: “Thanks Al, I really appreciate this. Bye”

“Sure. Bye!” The line went dead. Alice thought about her friends and the mess they were in for a while then tried to snap out of it to do some actual work.

The article she needed to write was not going very well so she decided to have a look at the other articles which would be in the next issue along with the “Best 10 health clubs in LA” Only if she could miraculously finish it sometime this week.

That was a bad idea. Because anything she read, she related Dana with it. The fashion section was all about Dana, dynamic tank tops, ***** shorts, the sun dresses Dana loves to wear even though it was not her thing. And that cocktail dress which Alice would definitely die to see Dana wearing. And taking off, of course

Then she skipped to politics. Reading through the lines, somehow she remembered Dana’s parents and how involved they were in politics. Dana’s face appeared between the lines of the article so she decided to read some ‘pull yourself together’ kind of guiding article which she found highly stupid. This month’s topic was self respect.

As funny as the whole article was with the ‘be yourself’, ‘be proud to be yourself’ after a few paragraphs, it started to remind her of Dana again. How she came out, how she talked to her parents

Alice sighed loudly gathering everyone’s attention to her. She didn’t look around to face the looks, she just put her glass of water filled with ice cubes on her cheek to ease the warmth building on her face. How would she get over this sudden attraction that seem to be getting more dangerous by minute?
