Angels Never Came Down 11
"I can wait for you." Tina stopped the car and watched Max get out.
"No, no. It’s time for us to go our separate ways. I have a lot of ground to cover. You have my number and I got yours. We’ll reconnect tonight, okay?"
"Call me if you can’t find a place to stay."
"You do the same, okay?"
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye, T. And good luck."
"You too."
Max sauntered into one of the shops and Tina felt silly at how bereft she suddenly felt. She almost got out of the car to go after Max, but thought better of it. That was something pre-Portland Tina would have done. Max seemed confident that she would find Jenny her first day here. Tina didn’t know whether to applaud or to fear for her friend.
Tina pulled back into traffic. She wasn’t looking at her mirrors and a sudden blast of car horns startled her. She braked but not before she heard the crunch of metal against metal. Oh, shit.

Alice re-checked the address and hoped that she got it right. Dana had awful handwriting. She wasn’t sure if the address said "5" or "6". Anyway, if I got it right, I only have to go next door, she rationalized.
Alice wasn’t sure why she was feeling nervous. She had come to Dana’s house way too early, intending to help her friend with any last minute preparations. She planned to go back home with enough time to pick up Bette so they can come together. She checked her watch and wondered if three hours was much to early. Dana might not even be home yet.
She jogged up the stairs that led to the front door. As she did, she noticed the size of Dana’s new home. It was huge! The lawn had recently been mowed and the white paint on the house still smelled fresh. It had obviously been repainted recently. In spite of herself, Alice was impressed. This was a far cry from the apartment that Dana used to keep.
Before pressing the doorbell, Alice checked her breath against her palm. Catching herself, she almost knocked her head into the door. What the hell was wrong with her?
She heard voices from inside. Alice paused, unsure. She didn’t know Dana was dating anyone. Then again, she didn’t know a lot about Dana anymore. They had sort of grown distant over the years. She seldom saw Dana these days. She’d gotten used to it. They still talked over the phone once a week, and sometimes they’d catch each other at The Planet, but it was a far cry from how close they used to be. Alice was sad that her friends pulled away once her relationship with Bette became known. She accepted it. She had expected it to happen.

Thanks for the update. I am so curious about what Tina looks like now. I can’t wait to see what Bette’s reaction is. And poor Alice’s reaction too.
It’s a small, small world.
Oh wow! What a surprise Bette’s going to have. Thank you for this story.
OMG, can hardly wait to see what happens when they see each other again. I just can’t imagine a Tina with short hair like a boi, I guess she would look a lot like Randy Dean. Alice may think Danas houe is too big but when she sees Tina, it will seem as though it is one big room and not nearly large enough. The look of surprise on Bettes face will be priceless. Hope she doesn’t faint. My guess is that she will run away. Can’t wait to see what happens. Let’s get the party on. PPVS. Thanks for posting.
What a small world, now let see Bette reaction!
“B/T, B/A, A/D
I just had to clarify that it’s not that kind of story ;) Various pairings at different time frames, is all.
Heh… My comment got eaten up. Anyway, this is slow burn! I literally can’t wait for the shit to hit the fan when they meet. Also, I think it’s awesome Dana is pining for Alice instead. Stalker Alice really made me sympathize her…
Let’s get this party started! Thanks!!
Wow… That party sounds like it’s going to be awkwaaaaard. And hey, there’s hope for Alice’s heart! Though that whole “she expected them to pull away when she got together with Bette” thing was weird… I thought it had been a more organic falling into a relationship. Anyway, PPS, 7!
Whoo! With Bette meeting Tina again and Alice being stuck with Dana, this house is gonna get a little warm!! hahaha, Thanks! PPS! =)
Dana seems a bit… odd. I dunno if I’m reading hope or excitement or shock or sarcastic consternation or a touch of malicious glee in Dana’s reaction to Tina having returned. I sort of suspect it’s a little of all of that. Dana’s party is going to be quite the do, isn’t it? Maybe it’ll mark the beginning of the return of the “fun” she’s been missing… or maybe it will all be an unmitigated disaster! Great chapter, 7. Thanks :)
such a delightful update…i take pride in thinking of A/D possibility LOL bring it on, can’t wait for the party
