As Lara had hoped, Meg’s ADD kicked in and the conversation took a less personal turn. "Ooh, The Planet! I’ve imagined it a million times. Can we?" Lara was irritated to note that it was Alice’s permission Meg was seeking.
Alice chuckled. She was beginning to enjoy herself. "Sure thing, Meg. I’ve got all afternoon."
Twenty minutes later, the three women were seated on the patio. Meg’s head swiveled to and fro as she drank in the atmosphere. "This is great! It’s a lot more California than I imagined."
Alice looked questioningly at Lara who simply shrugged her shoulders. "We grew up in the mid-West. California was this exotic place at the other end of the world to us."
"Ah." Alice nodded. She was definitely beginning to enjoy observing the give and take that Lara and Meg seemed to have with one another. This might just be my opportunity to learn a lot more about Lara.
Max wandered over to the table. "Afternoon, ladies. How’s it going?" His eyes lingered on Meg.
Alice smiled tightly. "Going good, Max. How about you?"
"Great. Just catching up with some of the gang during my lunch break." He gestured towards a table where a couple of guys were sitting. He looked at Meg again. "I’m Max."
Meg smiled. "Meg."
Lara added, "My sister."
Max smiled wolfishly. "Really? Now that you say that, I do see the resemblance. You both have the same beautiful blue eyes." He turned towards his friends. "Well, I hope I’ll be seeing you around."
Meg nodded. "Maybe."
Once Max was out of earshot, Meg gave a low whistle. "He’s hot."
Lara leaned forward. "Stay away from him, Meg."
Meg grinned. "Why? Don’t tell me it wouldn’t be good for you guys to have me out of your hair a night or two. He might just do nicely."
Lara looked to Alice. "Help me out here."
Alice tilted her head. "Oh, I don’t know, Lara….how do you feel about lobsters, Meg?"
"Alice!" Lara yelped.
Meg laughed and nudged Alice. "See….you are in sooo much fucking trouble!" Looking over towards Max she continued. "Don’t worry. I’m not into transexuals. Not that there’s anything wrong with them. I just think Max isn’t too sure what he wants to be yet."

Ah, the plot thickens for the soup chef! Great stuff. Just keep writing any old time…seriously, is the next update almost ready? Huh?
when well lara get around to telling alice what is going on in her head please post soon I love it great update and so quick as well
home again from my friends in bremen i just found your latest updates! great stuff! meg is a very cute little sis you create for lara! i absolutley enjoy her visit. i can´t wait for the next chapter, to read, what she will do next.i´m sure she will be in big troule *gg*. so sail on, i´ll be here…
OMG you are such a tease, first the mystery person at the door and then such a quick update–way to totally fuel my addiction to your fanfic! Can we all just quit work and comment on your writing professionally? ;) Using ‘Megan the Abrupt’ to balance out ‘Lara the Guarded’ is simply genius…sometimes family members bring out that honesty, not to mention sides we may not show everyone, no? Alice remains the champ offering quiet reassurances while not flying off the handle. Could the ‘I’m here’ and ‘I need you’ gestures between our two heroines at the table have been any sweeter? NO! Because you are da bomb! Can’t wait for the date, are they gonna ditch the sis and….? Sorry, I’m starting to just make things up, LOL. Update as soon as you can, gaaaahhh!
Wow – feel free to surprise me with two updates in two days any old time! :) Ok, I know I say this in every comment, but this is just so freakin’ good! I totally agree with Min – bringing in Lara’s sister (who is just the perfect counterbalance for Lara) is pure genius! I loved how she casually revealed Lara’s comments about Alice being sexy – not that we didn’t already know that, but it’s great to have Alice hear it first-hand! Siblings who know too much can be incredibly embarrassing at times… but I think that is exactly what Lara needs in her life right now – someone who will force her to be honest without worrying about the consequences (because sisters are supposed to annoy each other from time to time!). That sisterly relationship gives her a lot more freedom to say what’s on her mind than Alice has at the moment. Oh, speaking of which – I also thought Alice’s blow-up at the beginning of the chapter was perfectly-timed. She’s been so patient with Lara’s unwillingness to talk about things lately (much to her credit), but Alice can only hold back for so long before she’ll let loose with what is bothering her. This was a fantastic update – thank you for not letting the suspense about who was at the door kill me, though I continue to be as addicted as ever to this story! :)
i come here everyday… 2 wait 4 this story… soooo…carry on,…. they r sweet 2gether
Manic Meg… I like! Alice somehow seems more restained than ever with the little sister brought into the fray. We’re just starting to scratch the surface of Ms. Lara’s world, aren’t we? Great chapter again, Goldrun. Thanks.
