Fuck that….Alice thought determinedly. Sure, Bette might be hot….and sure, Bette might have a really cool new job. So what if Bette has the hip factor going with the artsiness and the whole Buddhist thing? Alice remembered the way in which Lara had flirted as they flipped the omelet, and how Lara had encouraged the kiss they’d shared. Beyond a certainty, she trusted the honesty in Lara’s eyes when she’d looked into them and saw the raw desire that was reserved for her, Alice Pieszecki. With a renewed sense of confidence, she believed that she had a future with Lara.
Almost as quickly as the confidence bloomed it was deflated again at the thought that something might be seriously wrong with Lara. Alice groaned in frustration and rubbed her eyes vigorously with her knuckles.
She was startled at the gentle voice that probed, "Alice?"
Her eyes flew open to find Tina looking on with kind compassion evident in her eyes. "Al?" she repeated, "Are you okay?"
"Tina, what are you doing here? I didn’t mean to interrupt your time with Angelica." Alice started. She stopped, swallowed and then quietly continued. "I’m so glad you came."
In an instant she flew from the hood of the mini into Tina’s understanding arms.
"Oh, honey." Tina knew enough not to promise that everything would turn out alright. Instead, she just held Alice.
After a few moments, Alice took a ragged breath. Pulling back, she looked at Tina. "Thank you for coming."
Tina nodded. "I know how scary panic attacks can be. I had a feeling you were going to try and tough it out on your own. I thought a friend might make it a little easier." Her eyes held nothing but concern for her friend. "What’s going on with you and Lara, Alice?"
Alice chewed her lip for a moment, considering her answer. "I’m not exactly sure, Tina." She thought a minute more. "I think I may be falling in love with her," she finally whispered.
Tina closed her eyes, and whispered, "Oh, Alice." She reached out and embraced Alice once more. Whispering into her ear, she murmured, "This must be so scary for you."
Safe in the arms of her friend, Alice finally cried.

You packed a heck of lot into this chapter…I’m still catching up, but am sooooo enjoying this story. Well done! Please update soon.
That was a fantastic chapter. Well done. I look forward to the next.
You have such a grip on the characters and their individual and collective personalities it’s eerily delightful. Don’t keep us hanging for too long, okay?
Well done my friend. You cover almost everyone in that small space, Loving this thanks
Wow! My head’s spinning from that chapter! Exxxxcellent G! Love your writing too! Can’t wait for more G!
That was great. Love the way you had the two of them just chillin on top of the car, chatting away, and Bette just happened to hear. Then, HELLO, Bette gave the keys of the Saab to Kit, no one gets those keys. Wish I could be in the car with them.
Delicious! Wow, I’m all a-giddy, even for Bette and Tina. I like that you have Lara and Alice not really sure of what they feel for each other and nervous about what the other feels, there’s nothing like the butterflies stages of relationships–wonderful and complicated. Needless to say, I can’t wait for the next hit, uh, chapter, lol. The pacing remains believable and realistic. It’s crazy how a TV show has endeared me to fictitous characters and your chapters make me wish this is what we’d see on the show. This chapter in particular was one was a tasty whopper, thank you! Keep it up, be brave for taking the next ‘post PG-13′ step (maybe it’s not yet, but whenever it is…), you can do it, your style of expressing these womens’ experiences is…gaah, it makes me just want to make out right now, all sweet and sloppy and tender and fun. OK, I’ll stop now…rock on!
*claps hands* Hercules…Hercules…Hercules…thank you Goldrun for getting my girls together…the dating and getting to know one another again will be exciting. The green eyed monster wouldn’t let Tina picture Bette with Lara….lol…please post soon.
yay, loving it as always. Addicted as always :P You write it perfectly, ah I love the Lace coupling that much! So now the next chapter will be really sweet and lovey-dovey… right? Right??? Haha please!
This chapter was just great. You put a whole lot into this one and it was GREAT. Thank you PPS
yes, i agree with you alice! finally just the two of you! lol great ukpdate. post more soon
Ok, while I liked the idea of Lara and Bette together… I still like the idea of Tina and Bette together a LOT better. YAY! Everyone’s happy, at least for now!
lol, I’m the wrong person to comment if you’re dragging it..I like to go in detail too. ;) But hey, if I ever say you’re dragging it then you know you really need to keep it short. :P Loved the update. Bette was quite straightforward with Tina…but yay, Bette isn’t after Lara anymore. ;) And Alice and Lara finally alone…revelling in the thought they really like each other (no more doubts).
Hey Gold! So sorry I’ve been AWOL lately! Everything’s fine – thanks for asking. I’ve been mostly offline for the past couple of weeks due to a random combination of life and work stuff… imagine my jubilation to find not one, not two, but three wonderful updates for your story when I finally got back online! And 6 pages for the most recent chapter! I actually whooped aloud when I saw that, which caused my housemates some minor alarm. :) I can’t tell you how much I love the way this story is progressing – it just gets better and better! I’m still wearing a huge, cheesy grin on my face as a result of this lovely chapter. I especially like the idea of Alice having to confront her demons about Dana by dealing with Lara being in the hospital. I love that you’re forcing them to face their fears and anxieties about each other; it is those small moments (such as a couple chapters ago, when Alice worries about Bette and Lara having dinner together because she remembers all of Dana and Lara’s “friendly” dinner dates) that really add layers to the characters by gesturing toward their history together (rather than completely forgetting or ignoring it, as IC & co. tend to do). I only hope that TLW writers scan these pages for ideas – your plotline for the Lace relationship is just terrific, and exactly what I would hope to see on screen in season 4. Of course, having read your story, I won’t be satisfied with anything less from TLW next year! Thank you for the updates… I’ll be looking forward to the next chapter with Lara and Alice finally alone together!
this is great I love it but I still see that there could be some trouble still to come for a few people please post soon great update and I love it
