“Ouch!” Alice squealed, pretending to be hurt, and as soon as the look on Dana’s face registered concern, Alice burst out laughing as well.

Later on that night most of the guests had either passed out or had gone home. A few had migrated over to Bette and Tina’s pool, including Dana and Alice. They were sitting at the patio table still sipping on their beers.

“Dana, why wouldn’t you let me draw a moustache on Tonya?” Alice asked smiling while she picture the image of a passed out Tonya with a black moustache drawn over her upper lip.

“Alice, that’s so mean! What if it didn’t come off!” Dana replied.

Both women sat in silence imagining if Alice had drawn on Tonya’s face and Tonya not being able to get it off and having to go to work and explain it. Alice and Dana Burst out in fits of hysterical laughter again. The girls that had been in the pool left to smoke a joint back at Shane’s. Alice stood up and grabbed Danas hand.

“What are you doing?” Dana asked.

“Let’s go for a SWIM! Like fish!” Alice replied, and with that she flung off her clothes leaving her in only her bra and underwear and splashed in the pool. Dana stared in awe, never realizing before how beautiful Alice’s body was.

“Well are you coming, or you just gonna stand there?”

Dana slowly took off her tank top and jeans and jumped in the pool.

“Holy Shit Al! Its freezing in here.”

“Aww, I know how we can warm up!” Alice grinned..

“ Umm. And how would we do that?” Dana smiled staring at the blond.

Alice moved closer and closer to Dana, until they were about an inch apart. Alice leaned over and whispered in Dana’s ear.

“Pool TAG, your it!” and with that Alice smacked Dana on the shoulder and dove off, swimming as fast as she could to the other end of the pool. Dana quickly jumped after her, swimming as fast as she could. Alice got out of the pool and began running to the other side, Dana followed and quickly caught up with Alice. She wrapped Alice up in her arms and tackled her back into the pool. When the girls resurfaced they were gasping for air from fits of laughter. Dana was the first to calm down and she gazed into Alices beautiful brown eyes. Alice realizing this stopped laughing and returned the stare back into Danas eyes made even bluer, if possible, by the reflection of the water.

“What?” Alice said in a whispered voice.

“This is crazy Alice, how come we never realized we were attracted to each other before?” Dana questioned.

“I don’t know. Maybe when I saw you with Tonya, I just realized how I wanted to be the one to take care of you like you deserve, I want to love you, I want be with you.. Tonya is.. she isn’t right for you Dana, don’t you see that?” Alice confessed truthfully.

“Alice….” Dana was at a loss for words, and once again Alice was moving closer to her.

Dana found it hard to breath as Alice wrapped her arms around Danas waste and began kissing and nipping at her pulse point. Dana returned the embrace, her hands roaming down to Alices ass and pulling her closer. Finally Alice worked her way up Dana’s neck and met her lips. The kiss became quickly heated, tongues fighting for dominance and lips being nibbled and sucked. Dana finally broke off the kiss when she realized that, Alice wouldn’t have stopped it this time.

“Al.. I’m sorry I can’t do this.” Dana said looking down.

“Dane I understand why, but just know that what I said is the truth, even if I am three sheets to the wind, I meant every word. You what they say about Alcohol being natures truth serum!” Alice smiled. Dana began laughing and hugged Alice.

“I know you meant it Al, I just need some time to think everything through, but just know that… no matter what.. I love you and you are my best friend okay?” Dana stared into Alices eyes.

“I know Dane and the same goes for me.” Alice whispered into Danas ear.
