The bang of the door closing woke Alice and Dana from their dreamy gazing at one another.

Alice: Bye Tina…

Dana laughed and stepped into Alice’s arms, enjoying a hug as they giggled at not noticing Tina’s departure. Alice felt a firm slap on her butt as Dana broke away from the hug to try and run away.

Alice: Owwwww wench… you are soooo gonna get it when I get my hands on you.

Dana: Oooohhh promises promises!

Alice kicked her shoes off and started to chase Dana around the kitchen table. They always knew how to have fun, they’d had many a tickle fight and snuggle throughout their long friendship. However, now, knowing what they do about each other, this one had a touch of seduction about it. Dana didn’t try to get away too fast, after all, she eventually wanted to be caught. She ran out of the kitchen and flung herself onto the couch as Alice got closer. Alice sat astride Dana’s waist and pinned her down, pressing their palms together and interlacing fingers as they moved their arms about in the play-fight.

Alice: Well, so much for playing hard to get.

They giggled, gasping for breath after the chase. Dana suddenly got a serious look on her face as she looked up at Alice, her chest heaving with each breath.

Dana: Al, Tina did say we should talk about stuff.

Alice: Correct… but she also said that we could be missing out on fun by being all serious.

Dana: Well… surely we could do both.

This statement shocked Alice, not used to Dana being quite so suggestive and forward. Was she misreading her words again? Alice gave a puzzled expression as she took a deep breath and tilted her head in question.

Dana: Whaaat? I just mean that… surely it doesn’t have to be you and me sitting across from the kitchen table having a dialogue about validation and understanding.

Alice: I’m hearing that…

They giggled, Dana held Alice’s hands behind her back and sat up, their faces mere inches away from each other.

Dana: Ya know Al, you’re not making this easy for me.

Alice: There is nothing easy about me honey, you should know that by now.

Dana smiled and let go of Alice’s hands, she ran her palms up to Alice’s shoulders and slowly wrapped her arms around her. Alice lightly trickled her fingertips up Dana’s sides as they sank into their embrace.

Alice: I’ve never seen you like this before…

Alice brushed her fingers up Dana’s neck and through her soft brown hair, stroking stray strands from her eyes as she gazed into them deeply.

Alice: … but I know I’d love to see more.

Dana smiled softly, closing her eyes and surrendering to Alice’s lips. Their kiss was even more intense than that fateful night. This one was clear, no confused feelings, no acting on impulse. Both had wanted it, and were fairly confident that the other wanted it too. As lips met lips, mouths opened a little more each time, and each touch lingered a little longer. Dana slowly lay back and pulled Alice with her. Dana shifted slightly so that they were laying on their sides, wrapped up in each others arms, mouths connected and hands slowly exploring.

The soft touch of their tongues connecting caused Dana to softly moan into Alice’s mouth. A kiss so sweet, so tender, so deep and erotic. The fires of their passion had been lit and were slowly smouldering now. But this wasn’t going to escalate into mad gropings or frantic fumblings. Alice was too smart than to take Dana into that territory. If she was ready, then Alice would let her lead the way. She cherished Dana more than that, which is why her hands stayed in fairly neutral places for now, to allow them both time to get used to being together this way. It was Alice who broke away from the kiss, stunning Dana a litle.

Dana: Al… is everything okay… did I do someth…

Alice: Shhh… everything’s perfect.

Dana: Then why…

Alice: I just didn’t want us to get all caught up in something we’d regret so soon.

Dana: But… what if I want to?

Alice ran her index finger tip over Dana’s full lips and spoke softly.

Alice: Well then, I’ll be the one to use the brain and you can thank me later. I’m a little nervous hun, I wanna go slow, I don’t wanna take anything for granted. I want to take in everything about you and me, no rush, no dramas.

Dana felt her face become flushed, and a tear appear in the corner of her eye as she gazed lovingly at Alice as she talked. Alice noticed the tear and without a fuss brushed it away with her thumb. She leaned over and kissed Dana’s tear stained cheek, moving slowly down to the corner of her mouth, finding Dana’s welcoming lips again, falling into her. Dana held on tight as she felt the intense emotion of Alice’s kiss, warm lips against hers, coasting over her skin, against her neck, brushing up to her ear and softly whispering to Dana between purposeful teasings of her ear lobe.

Alice: Danaaaa *(kiss)*

Dana: Mmmmmhmm?

Alice: You may not *(lick)* want to hear this *(lips brushing)* right now…

Dana: Al…

Alice: But *(nibbles)* you have me *(lick)* soooooo horny *(gentle sucking)*

Dana: Mmmmmgoddd…

Alice slowly moved her hand over Dana’s hip and brushed up her shirt, exposing her taut stomach. Dana jumped slightly at the touch of Alice’s warm palm, and felt tingles coursing up her spine as the tickling fingertips slid higher and higher. Dana’s breath was quickening in anticipation, filling the air with gentle moans and sighs of pleasure. So much so that neither of them heard the front door being opened and Tina walking in.

Tina: Ohhh oops, I’m so sorry, I’ll just go…

Dana scrambled to sit up and push her shirt down, almost knocking Alice off the couch. She couldn’t have turned a deeper shade of red, feeling like a teenager caught making out by her parents. Dana stood up and became quite flustered.

Dana: Hi! Tina! Umm we were just… and I.. I’m gonna go. Alice I had a really nice… evening and…

Tina: No no no Dana stay, I’m sorry, look hun its no big deal.

Dana: No I think I should…

She took Alice’s hand and pulled her to the front door, whispering an apology.

Dana: I’m sorry Al, I’m like wigging out right now, I loved kissing you, I just have to go, okay? Call me? Tomorrow?

Alice couldn’t get a word in, she could see how worked up Dana was, and not in the same way as she had been before.

Alice: Dane… please stay…

Dana: I can’t, I’ll talk to you tomorrow okay. Bye Tina! Bye hun.

Dana kissed Alice quickly on the lips and walked briskly out the door. Alice watched her leave then closed the door, leaning against the back of it. She sighed and smiled at Tina.

Tina: Al I’m soooo sorry, I just didn’t think, God I feel so bad about this.

Alice: It’s okay… we were getting a bit carried away anyway, after I said I didn’t wanna go too fast.

Alice walked over to Tina and they walked to the kitchen together.

Tina: Well, I’m glad you two were “talking”…

Alice: Yeah… I knew I shoulda tied her down…
