And after their inelegant first date, which was comprised of Jules spilling wine down the front of Alice’s shirt, Alice eventually getting drunk and revealing her love for anti-depressants and all things Valium, and the horrifying goodnight kiss that played out as Alice’s lips somehow meeting Jules’ eyelid, Alice never thought that they would get so close so quickly. And that completely terrified her. She knew that eventually she’d stop using sex to medicate herself and start dating again for real, but she never thought that she would find such a stable, promising relationship right out of the gate. And that was probably what scared her the most, considering that she and Dana seemed so promising in the beginning too. After all, they both knew all of each other’s insecurities and annoying little quirks inside and out after being best friends for seven years. Alice just figured that with that first-hand knowledge, there wouldn’t be any problems that the two of them couldn’t overcome together. However, Dana seemed to have had another plan in mind. Alice was fully aware of Dana’s cowardice propensity to run away from problems and hide her head in the sand, so the writer wasn’t exactly willing to assume all of the blame for the breakup But the way she had acted, all needy and clingy, wasn’t really an incentive for someone to stick with her. Especially someone so damn afraid of emotional dependency like Dana. But hey, it happened and there was nothing Alice could do to change it now.
However, if Alice managed to drive Dana away, what if she’d do the same thing with Jules? The writer knew she wasn’t emotionally stable enough to take that risk. Not yet at least. So even though Jules heard all the gory details of the breakup via The Chart, and had been nothing but supportive and understanding about all of it, the writer still felt the need to warn Jules about the current state she was in. She made sure the blonde understood that she still had a lot of issues to work through before she could jump into another relationship, and wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t feel like sticking around and waiting for those issues to be resolved. Alice was pretty sure that Jules didn’t owe her anything, nor did she have any reason to put any more time and energy into getting to know Alice when there may not ever be a payoff for any of her efforts in return. But after Alice had finished her shaky little disclaimer, Jules once again shocked the hell out of the writer by simply taking her hand and whispering, "I’m not going anywhere." And to further Alice’s surprise, she actually believed her.

Bradshaw approves highly of this chapter :D I’m agreeing with muted about that hug, if danish think they can have a platonic friendship I think they are madly mistaken, Jules is gonna get his heart broken, yes I put his on purpose because I still believe he’s hiding a penis in there somewhere, that’s why he and Alice haven’t had sex, he doesn’t want his secret revealed :P Am i right? This was a cliffhanger, I really wanna know what Alice and Dana say to each other now lady, bad you for making me needy! However it could go terribly wrong and they end up arguing, or will they actually communicate and tell each other what’s going on? Will Jules catch them? PPS so I can let out a sigh of relief when I read a glimmer of hope for danish :)
I’m feeling awfully needy too. I didn’t even think about them possibly having an argument – but things seem to spiral out of control quickly with our beloved danish. Jules seems so good for Alice, but her unfinished business with Dana is going to leave her in the cold eventually. I like how Jules reacted to Dana. She’s not going to let Alice go without a fight, but Alice’s heart is elsewhere. Imagine if Lara was at the party. She wouldn’t have appreciated that not so little hug. Maybe Jules and Lara can get together.I was psyched to see that you updated so quickly, but I was tempted to delay reading because with your busy schedule – who knows when you’ll have time to update again. You aren’t too overworked right now, are you? lol
Great chapter as always. You portray and develop the characters so perfectly. I can’t wait to see how this story unfolds and hopefully it will be a looong happy one :P Thansk for such great writing. Post soon!
ah man – you’re gonna leave it there. well ok – more to look forward to in the next post. thanks. that was cute.
this is such a great story. you’ve got alice down to a T! i love it. i’m feeling sorry for dana,and nervous for alice and jules. can’t wait to see what happens next.
LOL @ Alice kissing Jules’ eyelid on the first date. No matter how Jules tries to mark her territory, though, I have this distinct feeling that she’s going to be left out in the cold… there’s too much left undone between Al and Dana for her to be able to stop it. Liked the chapter a lot, swiss, post soon!
I loved the tension bewteen Alice and Dana. The talk can go either way (and is probably more likely to end in an argument), but as long they have chemistry I’m fine with it. :)
This is a great I can’t wait for more
The Eternal Hug, eh? Nice. And Jealous Jules is pretty awesome, too. I feel bad for her though, it’s so obvious that Dana and Alice are nowhere close to being over each other. And I’m with you, the new season is making me adore Helacious times a thousand. I just hope the show writers realize what a good thing it’d be. Knowing them, though, we’ll have to depend on fanfic. Anyway: Danish good.
“Pain in the ass, Yoda is,” – that made me smile. Can’t wait to see what happens next
Lovely thank you. PPS
