“We’re sitting at a diner eating breakfast, I don’t call this fun.” Shane shook her head and looked at her cigarette. “I want us to have a few drinks and just have fun.” She took another drag of her cig.

“I’ll think about it.”

“You don’t have any thinking to do—the answer is yes. I will come and get you later tonight, but first finish your breakfast. After this, we’re getting some groceries put into that apartment.”

“All right mom—,” Shane smiled, and Alice took the last bite of her eggs.

                Alice looked at herself in the mirror as she got ready for her night out with Shane. She took a deep breath as she raked her fingers through her hair lying at her shoulders in big curls. She wore a dress that stopped at her knees, and the top was v-neck showing some of her cleavage. She wore her wedge heels and grabbed her hand purse as she walked into the living room. She grabbed her cell phone, and her buzzer rang. She walked towards her door and looked at her hair one last time in the mirror in the hallway. She pushed the button down. “Shane—I’ll be down in a sec.” Alice grabbed her keys out of the bowl and opened the door. She walked out of her apartment and locked the door. She turned around and walked down the hall. She pushed the down button at the elevator and waited. A few minutes, she made her way down and saw Shane waiting for her at the passenger side. She smiled softly as Shane opened the door for her. She walked down the steps and nodded.

“Thank you.”

“Your welcome,” Shane closed the door and walked over to the driver side. She hopped in and closed the door. “Are you ready to have some fun?” She put the key in the ignition and started up the Jeep.

“Let’s do it.” Alice smiled as Shane pulled away from the apartment complex.

“All right—one two three,” Alice and Shane slammed their shot glass and threw their heads back as the liquid went down their throats. Alice gasped and licked her lips, and Shane took a swig of her beer. Alice looked over at her friend as she grabbed her beer off the counter.
