“What?”

“You are thick as two short planks sometimes, she is crazy about you that’s what Al”

Bette had managed to flag a taxi and throw Tina inside before straightening her clothes and hair. She smiled at Alice and Shane, looked over at Dana and laughed then waved wishing them good luck. Alice was in shock, Dana liked her, was crazy about her actually as Shane had put it. What was she going to do? Shane just walked over to Dana as another Taxi had stopped and picked her up.

“Shane, tell me you’re kidding, she can’t like me, I mean”

“Alice get a grip I need help, and yes she really, really likes you, so like I have said before the quicker you two get it on the better”

During the taxi ride home Alice kept asking Shane all sorts of questions

“How long has she liked me for? Do you think its just a crush or is it more”

“Al, calm down, I don’t know how long for and I think it’s more than a crush, but seriously you need to talk to her about it.”

“I can’t do that, we are friends nothing more should happen, you know what I am like, if I get involved it will end in disaster and I don’t want that”

“Everything ends in disaster with you Al, because it has never been the right person you get involved with, I truly believe Dana is the one for you and vice versa. I mean I have been winding the pair of you up for so many months now and although it has been so much fun I have come to realise your perfect for each other, and that you both want to make the other happy, so get it together already!”

“Oh *****, I feel a little queasy, I can’t believe this.”

Alice turned back round in the front seat of the taxi thinking about the possibility of being more than friends with Dana. This gave her butterflies like never before, she also felt petrified ‘what if it didn’t work?’

“Al, Al, we’re at Dana’s. Can you wait for us to get our friend inside and then carry us on?”

Alice awoke from her deep thoughts

“Its ok Shane I will take her in and stay the night it will give me chance to think and if I want to talk to her about things I will tomorrow.”

“Ok but just cause I told you about her feelings it doesn’t mean you can jump her once your inside, knowing she can’t fend you off” Shane said laughing and pulling Dana out of the taxi.”

“Don’t be a ***** Shane”.

DANA’S CONDO

Alice had managed to get Dana onto her bed but she wasn’t even going to try to undress her because Dana was actually quite heavy ‘it must be the muscles’ Alice thought.

Alice layed next to Dana slowly stroking her hair smiling, imaging what life would be like as Dana Fairbanks girlfriend. It was fantastic being her friend so it must be mind blowing being her girlfriend. Alice hutched down so her face was directly facing Dana’s only a inch apart, she lifted her hand and let her finger tips glide slowing down the side of Dana’s cheek’s then softly crossed her lips with the tip of her thumb before closing her eyes.

“That’s lovely”

“aarghh Dana, ***** you scared me.” Alice shouted jumping off the bed.

“Sorry but I just had to, your touch is”

“Dana, I gotta go.”

Alice turned and ran out of the bedroom door.

“Wait Alice, AL!”
