Still At The Planet

Alice watched Dana pace back and forth outside wearing a hard to read expression on her face. Hmm… her face, those beautiful endless eyes, well sculpted cheekbones and oh so tempting lips that Alice just wanted to taste if only for a second. What the fuck?! Alice shook her head hoping to shake out the enigmatic inappropriate feelings and shake in some common sense because nothing about this made any form of logic sense to her. “Christ I’m losing my mind”, she spoke to no one in particular, “Great and now I’m fucking talkin’ to myself, real smooth Al, Dana would so find you hot right now”, she mumbled against the cool surface as she once again flopped rather dramatically on to the table.

“Damn girl what’s the matter wit’ you this morning?” Alice was surprised and interrupted from her moment of self-loathing by Kit questioning her friend’s obvious moping.

“Nothing, I’m fine Kit honest, it’s just…nothing, I gotta get going sorry. Dana’s busy talkin’ on the phone and you’re up to your wazoo with customers here so I’m gonna head off and get some work done for this lame ass job of mine, I’ll see ya.” And with that Alice waved Kit off and headed for the very same door she had just seen Dana disappear through not 5 minutes ago.

Kit was left alone unsure she understood what was going on as the blonde blur was here one minute then gone the next. “Bye then.” Kit walked off back to help her staff as she worried slightly about the erratic writer.

Alice spotted Dana sitting at a table on the patio still babbling to her manager about some tennis ranks and stats. She stopped and stared at the beautiful brunette for a moment. When it came to the latest fashion, celeb gossip and the who’s dating who of Hollywood, Alice was your woman, but tennis she could not get her head around. What was with the weird point scoring system? And why did those people always shout at you if you hit the ball over the white line? Alice couldn’t even hold a racket correctly let alone serve one over the net and for this she admired Dana. Not only was Dana committed to her profession she was pretty damn good at it and Alice could see Dana’s contributions and efforts finally making headway. Dana caught Alice glancing at her and gave her a shy smile before motioning her over.
