“Dane, you need to wake up, we need to get you into bed.”

“hmmm” Dana mumbled

Twenty minutes later, Alice had got a still half asleep Dana into the house, into the bedroom and into bed before climbing in beside her and moving into a spoon position as she too fell asleep, thinking and knowing that as difficult as this day had been there was far worse to come.

Dana woke the next morning actually feeling refreshed; she could feel Alice snuggled into her and by the pattern of her breathing knew she was still asleep.  She thought back to the previous night and realised she had no memory of getting home.

“Hmm did I get drunk?” She wondered to herself knowing that she’d probably just fallen asleep on the drive home. “Nah I don’t think Al would get me drunk!”

Dana slipped out of bed quietly and quickly changed, left a note for Alice on her pillow and headed to the Planet for breakfast.

Alice was woken by a beam of sunlight escaping from the gap in the curtains and with her eyes still closed reached for Dana on the other side of the bed.  When she didn’t find what she was looking for he eyes snapped open as she started to panic.  It was then that she noticed a note on Dana’s pillow.

“Al don’t worry, I’ve just gone for breakfast.  Thought I’d treat u to breakfast in bed, back soon.

Love you, Dana”

Alice smiled to herself and settled back into the bed, her excitement boiling up and she longed for her lover to return.

Fifteen minutes later Dana crept back into her bedroom where Alice had fallen asleep again, snuggled into her pillow with Dana’s note still in her hand.  She lightly slipped back into bed and placed a light but loving kiss on Alice’s lips, instantly waking the sleeping writer who smiled and kissed her back.

“Morning my dear” Dana purred.

Alice took Dana in her arms and kissed her back, this time with more passion.

“So what’s the plan today?” Alice asked, breaking away from the kiss

“Well Ms Piezecki I thought we could perhaps spend most of the reacquainting ourselves” Dana whispered into Alice’s ear, her voice laced with desire and emotion.

Alice looked at the tennis player with obvious apprehension on her face.  Dana instinctively knew what she was thinking.

“Alice I want you, I love you and I need you. I don’t know what the next few months have in store for me but I know I want something amazing and fresh in my mind to focus on which will cheer me up when I feel like shit and I know that a day in bed with you is exactly what the doctor ordered.”

Alice still wasn’t convinced.

“I don’t want to hurt you or tire you out Dane, you’ve got to take it easy.”

“Alice I feel better than I have in a long time and” Dana began to place butterfly kisses down Alice’s neck

“Nothing” more kisses

“You say” more kisses

“Will change my mind.” Dana started to kiss Alice passionately again her tongue already exploring the inside of the writer’s mouth as her fingers worked their magic around Alice’s clit.

“Oh damn baby, im convinced!”

With that Dana and Alice spent the rest of the day making love and that day would serve them both with wonderful memories to reflect on during the coming months.
