Crossroads- Ch. 12
The mini pulled out of the parking lot and onto a busy four-lane. Alice silently crept down the road at a snail’s pace and was startled when Lara giggled.
"What?" She darted a quizzical look at the redhead.
"Alice, you can go the speed limit. I won’t break." Lara cast a quick look in the side mirror. "In fact, I’m pretty sure you may get us shot if you don’t pick up the pace a little."
Alice blushed and pushed down on the accelerator. "Right. Sorry."
Lara watched Alice for a minute. Softly she said, "I was way out of line earlier. I don’t think I can apologize enough for what I said."
Alice shook her head. "Actually, I’m kind of glad you said it. I mean, don’t get me wrong….it hurt to hear. But, you made me really think about things." Alice fell silent once more.
"Like….?" Lara prodded.
Alice kept her eyes focused on the road. "You made me realize that I hold a lot more power than I give myself credit for. And, that I have an unfortunate habit of sabotaging the best things that happen to me."
Lara contemplated this for a minute. "Like your relationship with Dana?"
Alice shook her head. "It wasn’t Dana I was thinking of just now." She let the statement hang for a moment, then darted a quick glance at Lara. Taking one hand from the steering wheel, she tentatively placed it on Lara’s knee. "I don’t want to lose you before I’ve even found you, Lara."
Lara covered Alice’s hand with her own, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I feel the same way. And I totally agree with something you said earlier…before all this happened." She gestured gingerly with her broken wrist. "You said that every step seemed hard and every word seemed difficult with us. I agree. It’s like we’re walking on eggshells around one another. Every time we take a step forward we immediately jump seven backwards. I really want to get past that." Lara paused for a deep breath. "Alice, I want you to know I think you are one of the most astounding women I’ve ever met, and I want to be with you."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief. "Well then, we seem to be on the same page."

Dy-no-mite! Bliss, sigh, so freaking cute but in a good way, not a cheesy way. Believable as always. Love it. Thanks for the update, please continue as soon as you can. Sending you happy vibes…
This story is great. Please post soon!!
ADORABLE!!! I’m so glad they are with each other. I’m sure Dana would be happy to know that the two women she loved are a couple. Post soon.
wow i have had the crappiest day from school work to pulling muscles in my wrist again in volleyball, and you just made my friggen day!!! please post more soon!! god im love a happy lace!!
I hope Lara is right and that Bette and Tina are acting like a couple because that’s what they have decided to do….and try to forget about Henry.
Gr8 chapter,please post soon.
This stroy is amazing. Every part gets better and better. I love that even when Alice and Lara are being cute you still manage to keep an underlying sexual tension. Love this story and can’t wait for next part
this is so cuteyou know i love this story ;-)liebe grueusse
they r so f@#king cute!!!!!! Do write more!!!! Dun leave us hanging..:D
Nicely done! I’m looking forward to your next post.
Don’t stay away so long…this is too good to have to wait!
You are such a tease! Goddamit I loved it but I wanted more! Update soon!
Aren’t they the most adorable couple? Too much cuteness to have in one relationship. :P I had to laugh at Lara’s cd collection, I’m just as random as these two seem to be. I do have this feeling there will be some drama soon. Lara’s still not better. And they still need to deal with Dana’s death and everything that came out of it. Looking forward to the next chapter!
That was sooo cute! I love happy Lace!! The ending was the most adorable thing ever – Lara’s “Yup! So are you!” was great. It’s so nice to see them being completely at ease with each other; no one deserves happiness on the show more than these two. Of course, I have to agree with JazzyS – they still have a few things to work out (hopefully together!), including Lara’s illness and their shared grief over Dana. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Thanks again for this consistently entertaining story!
