Nine heads simultaneously turned in surprise to see Dana standing there, looking quite horrified, but putting her best face on to conceal her growing anxiety. The only one to not turn to greet her was Alice. Dana silently winced at this and realized her goal may be harder than she thought.
"Hi Alice. Happy Birthday." Alice finally turned to meet Dana’s eyes and once again each woman found it difficult to breathe, or to tear their eyes from each other. The tension began to slowly mount and the rest of the group watched the interaction warily.
"Thanks Dana. It’s nice to see you," Alice managed to squeak out before her breath was completely lost. Still she was unable to focus on anything but the woman standing before her. All the while clutching fiercely to Julianna’s hand, everything else seemed to fade away as the two took each other in without realizing they were sharing such an intimate moment in public. But then Dana, feeling the harsh burn of Julianna’s eyes darting through her, quickly looked over at the irate blonde hanging on Alice and noticed the somewhat vengeful stare she was receiving. This was enough to shake Dana out of her trance as she extended the gift in her hand towards Alice. It wasn’t exactly a graceful offering, but more like she flung the gift directly at the writer. See, once Dana saw the look on Jules’ face, she felt as if she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar and panicked, not knowing what else to do.
"This is for you. It’s no big deal, but it just…I don’t know, it just reminded me of you I guess."
Alice smiled at her, genuinely, for what seemed to Dana to be the first happy emotion she evoked from the writer in months. And the athlete was so ecstatic at this, that without thinking, she pulled Alice into an embrace. At first Alice stood like a statue with a thousand conflicting emotions fluttering around inside of her threatening to break through the surface. But the shock eventually subsided and she was somehow able to hug her back. And the all too familiar feelings of being in Dana’s arms again began to buzz around inside of Alice. Without even realizing, she caught herself breathing in Dana’s familiar scent as their bodies tenderly pressed together. It may have seemed like an unnecessarily long hug to an outsider, but to Alice and Dana, that hug was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. To Alice and Dana, that hug was exactly what was needed when the words to describe what they were feeling wouldn’t quite do. And to Alice and Dana, that hug felt like home again.

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
