"It’s not your fault babe," Alice said.

"I know it bothered you that I’m trying to be her friend, but you know I never got closure," Dana said.

Alice nodded. "No I completely understand."

Dana looked up at Alice, "really? Wow Alice, you’re being so great about this. So it’s okay if I have dinner with Lara tonight?"

"Sure," Alice said, "anyways I was gonna hang out with Kit’s new bouncer Tasha. She’s so cool."

"Oh okay that’s great!" Dana said.

"Why don’t we snuggle a bit longer then get ready?" Alice said.

"Mmm," Dana said snuggling close, "can’t say no to that."

Shane and Carmen had spent the entire day at Six Flags Magic Mountain running around acting like children. It had been a fantastic seventh date, but Shane didn’t want it to end there.

"Where are we going now babe?" Carmen asked.

"It’s my favorite restaurant," Shane said, "it’s a little tiny place no one’s even heard of. That’s what makes it special."

"So they focus on the food," Carmen said. "Mmm, can’t wait. What kind of food is it?"

Shane grinned, "hamburgers."

Carmen laughed, "are you serious?"

"The best hamburgers in the world," Shane said.

"Better than In-n-out?" Carmen said in disbelief.

"A million times better!" Shane cried, "and better than White Castle too."

"Oh, those burgers are fucking good," Carmen said, "I had them when I went on set to New York a few months ago."

"Yeah, well this place is better than White Castle," Shane said.

"Okay, I absolutely have to try this place," Carmen said.

"Oh yeah, I got us an outside table, so we can eat and enjoy the view," Shane said.

"View? What view?" Carmen said.

When Shane started driving up a high mountain Carmen understood.

"Ooo fancy," Carmen said with a grin.

Shane chuckled and shook her head. "Can I confess something to you?"

"Anything," Carmen said touching Shane’s hand lightly.

"This is the longest relationship I’ve ever had in my entire life," Shane said.

Carmen’s eyes widened, "two weeks?"

Shane nodded.

"Wow," Carmen breathed, "that kinda makes me special."

"Oh yes, very much so," Shane said. "I mean I’m Shane McKutchen, me being with a woman for two entire weeks without having had sex with her is completely unheard of."
