Let it Ride- Chapter 16 (Or, Watch Chuck because it is adorable and we’ve got hot Aussie girls pretending to be American spies and also Jayne from Firefly and because BSG isn’t on yet)
Dana was lying on the couch thumbing through her art history textbook when Helena suddenly looked up from the piano where she had been hammering away at the keys in a manner thoroughly at odds with her usual confident, subtle touches. The frustration apparent in Helena’s playing led Dana to believe that she’d had another fight with Bette and the tennis player had wisely opted not to broach the subject.
Now Helena’s eyes were wide as she said apologetically, "Dana, darling, I’ve completely forgot. Shane called this afternoon and said to tell you that she spoke to your parents and they’ve requested that you phone them immediately."
Dana glanced a the digital readout on the VCR and then as if for confirmation, she checked her wristwatch. Frowning at Helena, she questioned, "When was this?"
Helena bit her lip and said uncertainly, "Maybe two or three hours ago?"
Dana groaned and said unhappily, "Shit. My mother is going to be insufferable. I haven’t called her in days."
Helena smirked and replied knowingly, "Someone’s been keeping you rather busy, eh?"
Dana blushed noticeably and muttered darkly, "You’d know."
Helena’s face took on a wry look as she said mournfully, "Yes, that’s true. I really should invest in soundproofing the walls."

Dana walked into Alice’s room and closed the door softly behind her. It felt a little strange to be calling her parents from her girlfriend’s bedroom. She could smell Alice’s scent on the wrinkled, messy sheets and she could see Alice’s touch everywhere. The stack of papers on the piano had been growing steadily higher for days and Dana could close her eyes and picture the day when it would fall off and the subsequent explosion of frustration from Alice. Dana crossed the room and tried to make the stack a bit neater before she ultimately separated the papers into smaller piles and then resignedly placed Alice’s bongo drums on them as a paper weight.
She heard another shrill ring emanate from the receiver pressed between her shoulder and her ear and then a soft click heralded her mother’s voice saying politely, "Fairbanks residence."

Poor Helena. I hope she finds someone who is a better match for her. Dana is so sweet with wanting to help Helena and making sure Alice’s papers don’t tip over. But, man, she is heading for a rough ride over Parent’s Weekend. “I was hoping to seduce you on the way to the bathroom.” — Hee! And the towel thing at the end was so Danish. As for “6 Days”… Keep in mind that you may have limited yourself to four parts, but, you have unlimited *sub-parts* to work with. ;-D Thanks again for the wonderful stories!
HEY! I’m glad to see you’re posting again. I miss the last post and had to go back to catch up, but now I’m back! Dana’s mother thinks that she found a man that stole her heart? Wow..I don’t think things will be good for Dana at Parents Weekend. I hope that the concert goes great for A-Okays and Helena. I see that you’re bringing Tina more into the story..What’s bothering Helena?? Will she let it out and tell someone?? Of course, I love Alice and Dana together. They are so sweet and cute and especially funny AND sexy…Can’t wait for the next chapter…THANKS!
heeeeeey i missed you and ur fast posts lol love this story always will hope they get it on hahaha u write em so well they just semm so perfect such a sweet story…oh and i sense drama with the fairbanks’s coming into town eee can’t wait love abit of drama :)
lol Alice is so gonna be in trouble for that one! That was good. I can’t wait to read Parents week. That should be interesting hehe. It’s sad that she feels she can’t be out though, hopefully all that’s gonna be okay soon. thanks for updating PPS:D
Hey Frip first so sorry to hear about your breakup but your young and you will find someone else just for you!! Anyway, I loved how you have helena brooding about something other than Bette. And poor Dana her parents coming to meet her new BF and AL,,,lol,,great chapter!!
that was pretty funny. they would be my favorite outfits too. sorry about the breakup. and school sucks. sooo glad i’m done with that. team usa 4-eva.
fripster, so happy to see you posting. Sorry to hear about your breakup. Hope it is for the better. Thanks for sharing the noodles incident. I swear those drinks are equally deadly. Now hopefully, I am a little older and wiser. Must admit that I still enjoy a couple here and there. But nothing like before. Again, I can’t stop laughing. You are just so remarkably good with this story. “soundproofing the walls… the stack of paper… fall off and the subsequent explosion of frustration… to drown herself inside it… swimming pool is on the roof…” & A trying to hold on to her donuts, coffee and guitar case then telling H that D was naked. The fun just doesn’t stop. I can’t wait to read about the Parents’ weekend. This is one night cap that I have treasured. Thanks.
Awwww, so cute. I just love how adorably you write Danish in each other’s company. While they’ve both got their issues, when they’re together none of that seems to matter, and it gives me hope that maybe somewhere out there, something like that really exists. Maybe not, but I kinda like deluding myself about it. Anyway, sorry about the breakup dear…although now I might just have a chance. No? Well, okay, but at least I tried. I’m totally kidding, don’t mind me, I’m rather sleep deprived. As to soccer…sheesh. It was beautiful until that game. I adored watching something so great, but so secret at the same time. Seriously, one of the few sports we do really well in on a worldwide level, and hardly anyone cares??! Ridiculous I say. But yeah, that game depressed me for days. It was like watching a star die. Okay that’s totally melodramatic but it did make me sad, lol. I should really go to sleep before I make any less sense than I am.
