Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Three
Out of an effort to give her friends that needed time and space, she
began going to different clubs, restaurants, and shopping centers. It
was also for her own good. She didn’t like how she acted around her
friends and she felt just so truly and deeply embarrassed and ashamed
of everything she had done. Alice didn’t have it in her to face them
and apologize properly for her actions. To do that would require far
more strength than she currently had available.
That’s why Alice was shopping in Glendale instead of Beverly Center
because she wanted to have that time and space. Then she walked out of
the Apple store with her newly purchased wireless mouse, feeling the
same odd happy feeling she always got when she went there because of
their super friendly staff, and saw Dana.
Not just Dana though. She saw Dana and Lara, smiling and laughing and
holding hands as they walked through the busy mall, winding their way
through the crowd. Alice remained unmoving except for the people
passing by who bumped into her, occasionally muttering at her to watch
it or simply shooting a look her way. Only she stayed right where she
was, stuck to that spot, her eyes fixed on Dana who laughed again and
met Lara’s lips for a sweet kiss.
She kept watching until she couldn’t anymore because the crowd had
swallowed them and they were beyond her vision. Then she swallowed the
lump in her throat and blinked her eyes in an attempt to rid herself of
the tears that she knew were coming and turned abruptly to exit the
mall. Running into people and probably causing more of them to curse
her and make comments but she didn’t care. She had to get out of there,
it was too much… seeing Dana like that when she wasn’t prepared.
Things like this were why she avoided West Hollywood and all of the
normal places she usually went.
Once inside her car, Alice let the tears fall. Her head resting against
the steering wheel, she cried and she cried until she didn’t think she
could cry anymore. When she was done, she felt tired, so very tired and
she wondered blearily if she should drive in this condition. Opening
her purse that sat in her lap, Alice reached for her cell phone and
stared at it for a long while. There were just two people she honestly
could call without feeling guilty about it.

I really have to stop reading all of Helena’s parts in a British accent. I’m annoying myself….dreiser, you rock.
Thanks for such an endearing Helena, its far too easy to get bogged down by the cannon Helena but your tale takes me far away from that and into the realm where I quite like her and the lovely Alice together. Keep up the tension and please never stop giving us loyal and loving fans more!!!
can i say that i love that you use the right terminolgy in the right settings. Seems like such a small thing, but it isn’t. Like a tennis match, not game. Helena’s quarters, not room. You always make the right reference in the right place. And the details do not go unnoticed, thanks – it makes for such great flow and reading.
A human catch and a human reeling it in – wonderful analogy with the fishing and the pending hook-up. loved it dreiser.
Alice and Helena together are so cute!
So much sexual tension!!!!!!!! Its driving me crazy. Both you and Sulky still have not even let Alice and Helena kiss!!! Someone let my girls be happy please! By the way, I love you, you are the greatest writer ever. I wait for like two weeks for this story, its kills me but when it gets here… bliss. Keep it up babe and thanks.
I loke Helena and Alice together. Lets keep then that way.
alicesgirl – you are too right
I’m loving your story dreiser.

It’s so true you and Sulky are killing me, please I need to read happy helacious. Mmmm I just wrote that? Well in my danish heart there is some place to this ship too, and it’s all your fault :P . Thanks.
