Hey, Shane said in that ultra ***** way of hers.

Um, hey, can we talk? asked Carmen, trying not to be flustered by Shanes closeness.

Sure, said Shane, Why dont we go into the kitchen? Shane led Carmen back to the kitchen.

There was another knock at the door and Jenny went to answer it this time. A camera protruded in her face, and behind it was a grungy looking guy.

Hi, the guy said, Im Mark. I was wondering if you still were looking for a roommate?

Uh, no, responded Jenny, pushing the camera out of her face, Weve filled that room. Besides, we wouldnt want to be a victim of some hidden camera pornography. Sorry. Jenny slammed the door in Marks face, leaving him at a loss for words on the porch.

Alice spotted Dana sitting at a table in the back of The Planet reading the newspaper. She grabbed her to-go coffee off the counter and headed over to Dana. Her ears pounded in her head at the sight of the beautiful tennis player. Alice had figured the feelings of love she felt were just a reaction to the amazing ***** they had had, but seeing Dana now just reconfirmed her love. Silently, Alice told herself that she was going to break Dana and Tonya up some how and Dana would be hers.

Dana looked up just as Alice was sitting down. She flashed a polite smile and turned back to her paper. It was harder than she thought to see Alice. Feelings flooded her head, but not feelings of lust, feelings of intense love, something Dana had never felt before. So what? she thought, I cant just abandon my fianc because of this feeling. Dana broke the awkward silence first.

Hey.

Hey, Alice responded while stifling a laugh, How are you?

Im good Im, yeah, good.

Well thats good. Good. How was your weekend?

Um, good, good.

Good.

Yours?

It was good. Good.

So um, youll never guess who Tonya met?

Hmm? Who?

Lara. She met her at a thing in Newport and asked her to be our caterer.

Wow, awkward!

I know.

Did you um, I mean, did seeing her bring back old feelings?

Um not really. I think Im really over her.
