Chapter 7 ~Officially Missing You Remix by Tamia ft Kwali Taleb and Cream by Prince

~ With true friends even water shared has a sweeter taste. – Chinese Proverb

Shane: So let me get this straight… you guys would just ***** like rabbits, but the whole time Lara was moving in on your woman? Shane and Alice sat on the carpet in Alice’s apartment, sharing a joint and drinking tequila. Alice got up and walked over to the stereo and threw in a couple of CDs.

~Officially Missing You~ began to play over the speakers and Alice sat back down on the carpet next to Shane.

Alice: No, not exactly, I look at it more like Lara had good intentions with being friends, but Dane hooked up with me while she chipped away at Lara ’cause she was too much of a coward to be alone. I thought I was the woman and Lara was the Mistress… well… in this case I guess she was the Mister… but anyway it turns out I was the Mister and Dana never really got over Lara.

Shane: Either way it’s fucked up Al…I like this can you turn it up?

Alice reached for the remote and turned up the music. Shane started playing the drums in the air in sync with the crazy drum-riff instantly. If it weren’t for the weed, Alice would have spent more time wondering how Shane could do that.

Alice: When did you become ‘Sheila E?’ (Shane gave her a confused look)…anyway…you’re right, it is fucked up… in fact, I’d be fine if I never had to see Dana ***** Fairbanks again… but she was such a great friend… sometimes I wish I could have my friend back.

Shane: Yeah I guess hooking up with a friend can really ***** things up.

Shane laid down and put her head in Alice’s lap. Alice played with Shane’s hair as she flipped through the muted channels on the TV, finally giving up on a video channel.

Alice: No… being with a friend was the best thing I ever did… I just chose the wrong one.

Shane:What do you mean Al? It didn’t work with Bette or Dana… maybe you should just call it a loss.
