Dryly, Lara commented. "Seems to have worked. You’re suddenly awful chipper. You didn’t happen to bring any along for me, did you?"
Alice shook her head. "Sorry….is it bad?"
"It’s calmed to a dull thud. I haven’t had anything to eat all day, though….which is probably not helping matters. Have you had lunch?"
"No…I was too nervous about talking to you. I could stand to eat now, though."
Lara stood. "Why don’t I rummage in the kitchen and see what I can dig up? Wanna keep me company while I’m scrounging around? Maybe we can keep the lines of communication going while we’re at it." She held out a hand.
Alice grinned and nodded. She grasped Lara’s hand and stood. "I’d like that."
Alice sat at the table and watched while Lara randomly pulled ingredients from the fridge. As Lara began to chop vegetables, she finally ventured a guess. "Omelet?"
Lara nodded. "I have some homemade bread from the Planet to toast up too. Sound alright to you?"
"Sounds great. Are you gonna do that cheffy flipping the omelet in the air thing?"
Lara laughed. "Cheffy? Do you use made up words in your articles, too?"
Alice nodded sagely. "When it’s warranted. I find it lends an air of individuality to my work. So, are you?"
"Well, it is the best way to get the omelet turned without breaking it."
Alice clapped her hands. "Cool. I love that….can you show me how to do it?"
Lara cracked five eggs into a mixing bowl. "Sure, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty." She raised an eyebrow as she began to whisk the eggs. "Deal?"
"You’re on, Emeril."
Lara reached up and pulled a second pan from the pot rack hanging over the sink. "First, you’ll need to practice." She opened the pantry and pulled out a container of dried beans. She poured a handful into the pan. As she walked towards Alice she casually flicked her wrist, sending the beans a couple of inches into the air and neatly into the pan again. "It’s all in the wrist." She demonstrated again, "A slight thrust forward at a slight down tilt then up. Easy." She turned the pan and offered the handle to Alice. "Practice."

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!
