Storm Watch 02.14 – Inside of Me

            Dana sat on her deck staring out at the sun about to start rising she could see the hues of the world start to crest.  She couldn’t remember when she’d seen a sunrise.  Then she did remember it had been with Lara she sighed softly. 

            She was home alone she’d sent Alice home earlier.  Dana’s mind was in turmoil as she wondered what to do about Alice.  It was something that had endlessly plagued her in the last few days.

            They’d made love in Rosita’s back yard and when the rest of the crew had driven into the yard they’d disengaged and went on purporting to be friends.  No more touching, no more kissing just back to being Alice and Dana.  Friends til the end, the promise they’d made, to never sleep with each other was gone shred to tatters.  Gone, just gone with one, wanton kiss.

            Well more than one kiss.

            Then when they’d stepped into her house Alice had attacked her, and they’d barely made it to the stairs.  Clothes flying in every direction and then seventh-heaven.  Alice, aggressive and savagely ***** as she devoured Dana with a passion that Dana would never have imagined that sweet, mouthy Alice ever possessed.  Another sigh from the tennis player.

            The next day Alice reverted right back to being Alice her friend and not Alice her lover.  She was confused perplexed and darn right angry about this whole situation.

            “***** Al.”  Dana said all her zaniness gone and just the confused young woman who was falling in love with her best friend remained.  She paced the small deck, and then sat back down on the chair that she’d been on an hour before.  She leaned the chair back and watched the sun some more, thinking.  

            “What am I going to do with you Al?”  She asked the empty world, she played with the end of a stand of hair, twirling it and falling into deep thought.

            Until the phone rang and she turned forgetting that she was leaning back and the chair went flying from under her.  She landed with a harsh thud her head slapping the wooden deck.
