An insistent buzzing roused Lara from a fitful nap. Confused, she looked around the living room for a moment before she realized the sound was coming from her intercom system. Stumbling from the sofa to the far wall she pressed the reception button and croaked, "Hello?"
"Oh, thank God…I thought you weren’t home for a second there. Um, I just happened to be in the neighbor—"
"Alice?" Lara interrupted.
"Oh—right. It’s me. Um…can we talk?"
"Come on up. I’ll meet you at the door in a minute." Lara pushed the second button, allowing Alice to enter the building. She dashed into the bathroom and rinsed her mouth, which tasted stale from sleep, and ran her fingers through her hair. With dismay she noted the shadows under her eyes. "Oh fuck it", she mumbled as she walked to the door.
Opening it, she found Alice holding two steaming cups. "Coffee?" she asked offering one of the containers.
Lara took the cup and studied Alice for a moment without saying anything. Alice’s face was a mask of anxiety and uncertainty. Lara bit her lip; she wanted to rail at Alice for leaving Milk with another woman, but she found herself unable to do so. After all, she wasn’t certain that she had any right to feel betrayed and besides, Alice looked way too vulnerable and way too adorable to yell at. Sighing, she stepped back gesturing for Alice to enter. "Come on in." She led the way into the living room. Turning off the television, she motioned towards the sofa, "Please, sit."
Alice silently perched on the edge of the couch. Looking at the blanket still spread over two thirds of the sofa and noting Lara’s t-shirt and sweats she commented, "Looks like you were having a relaxing afternoon. Sorry if I interrupted."
"I dozed off while I was flipping channels. Thanks for the coffee by the way….I can use the caffeine."
Alice quipped, "Rough night?" Immediately she thought better of her flip remark, and cleared her throat nervously. She picked at the side of her cup for a moment before looking at Lara who was gazing steadily at her.
"I guess you could say it was a rough night. I have to admit I’m a little surprised you came by. You seemed pretty irritated with me last night….and pretty enamored with your friend, Uta."

Of course I’m still reading, yay for updates! Now work is insane for ME so I’m looking forward to these to procrastinate with, haha. Where are you going with these Lara fainting/falling spells…is she preggers?! Now that would be drama. I like that you had Alice and Lara doing something together (cooking) to show their interplay and friendship, and of course underlying sexual tension…eventually down the road maybe leading to a LURVE connection? Morever, you keep such a smart and subtle sense of hotness brewing between these two, it makes for addictive reading. Hope you have time to update before too long, thanks for keeping this story up, we are out here, waiting for the next crack, I mean chapter, hit….
Wow…so Alice left with the vampire and she gets mad when Bette & Lara are breaking bread together? Alice needs to make up her mind what she wants…and you can leave Bette out of this little drama…will you find someone for her? Please not Helena…
Oh…and Bette is the B all and end all for EVERYONE…she is the shiznic…and if they can’t handle her …step aside laddies…lol

Entertaining is an understatement. That was fantastic! Just make sure you post another chapter damn quick!
I love it but alice and lara never seam to get a break please post soon can’t wait to see what will happen with them great update
Loved the update. The cooking sessions were sweet and cute. And my thought at the ending of this story was ‘Oh no Lara…!!!!’ First for her letting escape the words she said to Alice and secondly for her tumbling down the stairs (did she faint or might there be more to this?).
Gotta say I’m loving this story. Brilliant writing, and the sexual tension between Alice and Lara is so believeable and hot. Hope you can update soon cos I can’t wait for the next part!
