Alice and Dana sat holding onto each other for what seemed like an eternity, both content in each other’s arms, the only sound being made were their hearts beating, beating as one.

Calm started to settle in both of them and that was when Alice realised she had to say something, or else she thought they were going to stay the like this forever. Not that it was a bad thing, but they still had a lot to talk about. They still had their heads in each others shoulders, but facing away from each other as Alice mumbled

“Dana”

“Yeah”

“Do you want to look at me yet” Alice replied beginning to stroke Dana’s back, just to reassure her.

“No, I look like *****, you really don’t want to see me, I may scare you.”

Alice laughed “You know I look the same Dane, and I’m sure you won’t scare me as much as you usually do”

“Thanks Al”

“I’m only joking, listen we will count to three and then at the same time both look at each other. Ok?”

“On three or after three?” Dana replied unsure.

Alice was giggling “You’re such a geek Dana. But a cute geek so I will let you off, we will go after three, sound good?”

Dana smiled, ‘I’m a cute geek’ she thought before answering

“Yeah, after sounds great. Ready?”

“Onetwothree” both girls counted out load before both slowly lifting their heads to face one another

“Arrrghh Dana you’re scaring me” Alice shouted while jumping back covering her eyes with her hands, but laughing at the same time.

Dana who’s face was wet through with tears and eyes puffy, hit Alice playfully, telling her to shut up and look in the mirror as she was not looking to hot herself.
