Alice stirred in her sleep. God, her head hurt. She felt like a thousand elephants had run her over in a stampede. Must be the guilt from cursing the dead cat. Damn. The sun shone right through her window, blinding her momentarily.

hey, you feeling alright this morning? an unfamiliar voice sounded near her.

holy *****! Who the ***** are you? Get out of my house! Im a self-defence instructor! Really I am! Dont mess with me you..girl? as she regained her vision, alice saw a dark-haired ***** standing at her bedpost. Who was she? Pretty hot..what happened last night? Oh my god! The tennis playerwhere was she? Alice thought she couldnt afford to place another missing persons report. The last time she did, it was for her mom, who had run off with some weirdo.

ermIm a friend of your friend, that clumsy girl. Err, hi! Im shane. Sorry, she had to go off to work or something, so she went home. And erm..i couldnt just leave you in a pool of your own vomit, right? shane gave a weak smile.

Alice looked around. Well, this shane person was something. She was hot! But, not exactly alices type. Well-well, she would have to thank this *****, wouldnt she?.

hmmm, thanks for staying here the night. Hey! Did I do anything, well, did I do anything with you? Tell me the truth now! Oh craps! My head hurts.

Shane looked at the ditzy blonde on the bed. What an interesting character. Never before had she met a person so..so..well, she was one of a kind. Shane just couldnt wait to get in her pants. Ok, she could get a hold of herself. hey, want some breakfast? Erm, I dont have any cash, but I could try and find something in your kitchen?

Alice just shook her head. no thanks seanshane? Whatever. I need a double expresso, make it coffee beans. I need to suck on coffee beans! Oh my god. Someone just punch me right now! PUNCH ME!!!!

Shane looked so puzzled, turned around and walked out of the room, shaking her head, smiling in exasperation.

practicing her service today, dana couldnt help thinking about last nights events. Never before had she have someone come on to her like that, despite that alice woman being drunk. What had she done? Dana felt that she shouldnt have left that mysterious shane with alice. They were like night and day. But, surprisingly, she felt she had enjoyed their company. Thoroughly. If only she had someone to have and to hold..

Pay attention Fairbanks!

her gallery had just received a new shipment of art, some pieces done by an croation artist. Not bad at all. The curves of the paintings had all been accentuated with dark outlinesthe beauty of this piece. Bette was just struck with the entire piece. Not realizing someone come in.

Hello, Francesca told me you owned your own gallery, and since its my break, I though I should come over and view it. Any charge? Marina, her face strongly resembled that of a cat. There was a glint behind her eyes, and bette felt a wee bit in awe of her.

oh, Marina, hi! Where is Francesca?

shes busy with our place, a newly opened caf on west Hollywood. Shes dealing with some furnishing and the likes. How about we go for some coffee? Im going to be in charge of the planet while frans away, so I can brew you a good java. Hmm?

bette felt as though marina was egging her on. This woman was the epitome of lust. She had an air of charm surrounding her. Bette felt that anyone who met her would fall in love with her almost instantly. No porter! No way! This is francescas bride youre thinking about.

Seeing her pondering to herself for so long, marina moved in for the kill.

————————————–****************———————————————-

Wait a minute! You share a 1 bedroom with 2 guys? So what if their *****? Their.guys! ok, so what do u do for a living? Sleep around? Do drugs? alice looked intrigued with shane, a ***** of few words, but when she did say something, it was a bubble of interest to her.

Shane smiled. This blondie was really getting to her. She had never revealed so much about herself to anyone, and here she was, sitting opposite a crazed woman, and telling her some history on the mysterious shane. Wow, looks like this is going somewhere.

Err, not really. I work odd jobs, you know, when they need me, theyll call me. I dont do drugs anymore.well, maybe a littleshane looked so uncomfortable.

Alice looked up from her notepad, well, whats a journalist without writing down some of this juicy information? It did make for a good story. Of course shell use different names, maybe instead of shane she could use shank, coz shane did look a little *****!

well! Thats it then. What are you good at? I think I might be able to find you a job, a permanent one! I cant let you go on living with two ***** in a one bedroom! Where do u have your ***** girl? Gosh, tell you what, Ive got a spare room, and I could rent it out to you for a few months.

No, no, no! Im fine living with nick and clive, really. We have our own space, and hardly any of us are home all at onceyeathe jobthanks

listen up sucker! I get you this job, and I have only 2 incentives, one! You stick to it! Dont come and go as you please, and two! Stay with me, as rent you will drive me to work, ok? God knows I need some form of good luck on the road. Alice shook her head. Hey, if shane drove her to work every morning, at least she would have some time on her hands towhat did she do? Shrugging her shoulders, alice turned her attention back on shane.

so, what do u think?

—————————-***********************———————————————

hastily slipping her bra, followed by her blouse, back on, bette looked at marina, who was slowly doing up her own pants. That woman was smooth, supple, heck! She had more skill than bette, the maestro herself. Francesca was lucky. What a catch. DAMN! Francesca! What would she think! Bette became pale as death.

Sensing her fear, marina smiled slowly, its ok, she would never have to know. We never met. We never did anything. But Im sure I made you feel comfortable, right? Now you can go back into the world with confidence, find someone to love. Come over to the planet wont you? I wouldnt mind having alice and you over for breakfast in the mornings. Marina walked with so much grace in her step, if bette didnt know it, she thought marina wasnt in a relationship at all.

ok. Just, I know Francesca, the only fling of hers thats still in her good books is alice, and I dont exactly want to be on her hit list. The Planet, huh? Interesting. Count us in. just, keep this as a secret, ok? Promise? I got to get back to work, when would Francesca be leaving again?

———————————————********—————————————————

The Planet?? ahahaha! What sort of lame name is that? Heck, why couldnt they just call it something more hip, like coffee-lez, it is a place for lesbians right? Oooh! Oooh! Or how aboutI need a drumroll please.. Coffee Shop. Right to the point! Bam! There, it serves coffee, that you can buy. Simple as that. Nice right? alice sent a beaming smile all round the table.

Dana had called alice earlier and asked to meet up with her, and not wanting to feel awkward alone with her, alice had managed to contact shane, and the three of them met up at the club. Alice had to fight off security to let them allow shane in, as shane wasnt dressed appropriately.
hey! What so u mean she cant wear this in? if jeans and a tank top arent fancy enough, how come you let those whales beach themselves by your pool? alice retorted, pointing to several excessively overweight elderlies sunbathing by the poolside. The guard gave in. he would have shot himself if he could, just to stop this loud mouth from talking.

So dana, hows your training been? Shane, what about work? Anyway, enough about you two, I have a great plan, and I need your help! We need to find me a ***** lover! I am getting bored staying out by myself! And yes, Ms. Tennis star! Dont be so afraid of the word *****! so how about we organize ourselves a party? And it can coincide with the opening of my friends lame-named caf!

shane and dana looked at alice, then looked at one another with looks of bewilderment. This woman was serious! God. Help. Them.

frannie? Can I hold a giant ***** party at your caf on lets say, Tuesday? Yes, no? great! Thanks so much!!! Ok, Ill do you a favour by taking care of your opening, ok? Great!! Youre the best, do stay home more often! I miss you so! alice flipped her phone closed, and hugged herself. This was going to be great.

Cmon you two, we got work to do! grabbing their hands, shw lifted dana ans shane to their feet, and led her new companions out the front.

————————————********************——————————————

alone in her office, bette sighed. What had she done? Why had she done it? There was just something alluring about marina, but she couldnt put a finger to it. Yes! There was something similar with Francesca as well. They were both seemingly alluring. Well bette porter, you got to find yourself a girl who doesnt have too much control over you. Be the stronger woman bette! With that, bette left the office, going home to get ready to meet up with alice, and erm, her new found friends.
