"Thanks, Jeeves," Alice grinned at the butler.
"Is that really his name?" Jules asked doubtfully.
"I don’t know, I’ve just I always wanted to say that to a butler."
Jules laughed and kissed Alice on the cheek before opening the door to the backyard. And just as Alice suspected, as soon as the door opened, the word ‘Surprise’ was shouted at her by much more than the eight voices she expected to hear. She put her hands over her face in mock embarrassment and shook her head slowly as her closest friends began to gravitate towards her, enveloping her into a giant group hug. When they finally released their holds and gave her room to breathe she grabbed Jules’ hand and started the long line of introductions. And as Jules made small talk with each and every member of the gang, Alice looked around and couldn’t believe there were so many people there. She wasn’t exactly sure who to thank yet for putting this all together, but whoever it was managed to invite people from nearly every facet of her life. Even her sister was there, looking utterly bored as she stood beside her equally drab accountant-husband. Alice couldn’t believe that all these people were here to celebrate her birthday, especially since Bette and Tina had thrown a ½ year celebration for little Angie just last week, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about Alice turning a full year older at the same time. But now all the people she loved appeared to be present and accounted for, and all in the name of celebrating her. Everyone that is, except for Dana.
Alice noticed right away that Dana wasn’t there, and she couldn’t help the hurt she felt that the athlete hadn’t even acknowledged her birthday. Alice understood if she was too busy to call, thinking she’d just see her tonight. But now it seemed as if Dana couldn’t even be bothered by coming to the party. It wasn’t like Alice expected a gift, or really anything more than an acknowledgement by the woman who told her less than a month ago how much being friends again meant to her. But the blatant snub didn’t exactly meet her expectations either. And while the writer admitted that she hadn’t really made herself available lately for Dana to be a friend to, that wasn’t in fact a credible excuse the athlete could hide behind as far as Alice was concerned. ‘Whatever,’ Alice scolded herself, ‘tonight isn’t about Dana, so just stop caring that she’s not here.’

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
