Alice moved in close so that she could close the door behind her, and was now only inches away from Dana, who looked up when she felt the blondes warmth close, Dane, you think you could maybe stay behindafter everyone else leaves. I want to talk to you about something.

Danas eyes were glued on Alices, Sure, anything for you Al.

Alice smiled softly and slowly raised her hand to Danas face to move a hair out of the way, Dana couldnt help but close her eyes and drown herself in Alices soft touch. Alice knew she was getting to Dana, and from experience whenever she saw Dana close her eyes that way, whatever room they were in, well lets just say it was going to get a little too hot in there unless they left. Dana was always the jump on instinct one, and at those times, Alice was definitely the instinct.

Dana felt Alice remove her hand and open the door, Come on, we better get out there, the food is really good.

Dana was really confused, she was never too good at reading signals, even the most obvious of them looked like gibberish to her. Alices actions did not help, she knew how friendly Alice was and how touchy-feely she was to her friends, she couldnt tell if these gestures were romantic or friendly. Even when they dated she couldnt tell, except of course the times when the gestures were OBVIOUSLY romantic and intimate. But things like hugging, arms around each other, pats on the back, and other stuff, Alice did that with everybody.

Alice and Dana walked back out into the room where everyone was all just sitting around eating. Dana took a seat next to Jenny who was deep in conversation with Kit, Alice went to sit in between Dana and Shane. Dana had not realized that Alice was next to her until she felt Alices arm rest on the back of her chair touching her shoulder blades. Dana turned around and saw Alice talking to Bette who was across the table, she thought to herself, just a friendly arm over the chair movenothing romantic. Then she felt Alice start to trail her fingers along her shoulders, back and forthback and forththat sent shivers through her body. When she felt Alice scoot closer and relax her body into Dana, Dana couldnt take it anymore and stood up. She thought to herself, What is she doing? What is she trying to tell me?.
