"Are you sure nothing’s wrong? Did Bette try to scare you away when I was gone?"
Jules laughed at Alice’s theory and how strikingly different the reality was. "No, Alice. Bette was really nice to me. All of your friends have been."
"Okaaaay…than why do I feel like there’s a ‘but’ in there somewhere?"
"Ugh I don’t know, I don’t like thinking the things going through my head right now."
Alice shifted Jules’ weight on her legs and intertwined their fingers. "Hey, come on, what is it?"
"It’s just…," Jules sighed, not convinced that she should relay her jealousy to Alice over Dana just yet. She knew that Alice and her ex shared a pretty deep bond, and she didn’t want her girlfriend to think that she resented it. But she couldn’t exactly hide such an important insecurity from someone who she was trying to build a relationship with either. So she decided to throw caution to the wind and just put it out there, hoping it wouldn’t alienate Alice completely. "It’s just, you were out there with Dana for an awfully long time."
Alice considered her words for a moment before responding. "It’s okay, I understand."
"You do?"
"Sweetie, after hearing all about my past, I think you know just how well I understand jealousy. And the thing is, I can’t blame you for being concerned. But it’s hard for me to explain it to you since I myself don’t really understand it completely either. Dana means a lot to me, she always has and probably always will. But I need you to understand that despite what we were to each other in the past, she’s just a friend now. And I do hope that things continue that way. But you have to remember, I’m here tonight with you."
While Jules appreciated Alice’s attempt at quelling her fears, she couldn’t help but ask the one question that had been replaying in her mind since their very first date. "But Alice, are you here with me because you want to be, or because Dana left you no other choice?"
Before Alice could answer, Tina and Helena appeared in front of them holding a cake, singing Happy Birthday. Soon the rest of the party joined in and Jules hurriedly got off Alice’s lap and stood beside her. Alice then followed suit and tried to grab Jules’ hand to keep her close, but the singer quickly let go and put some space between them as they stood beside each other. With the sound of happy birthday in the background, Alice tried her best to catch Jules’ eye in order to relay some sort of reassurance about the conversation they were unable to finish, but the singer successfully averted Alice’s eye contact, focusing instead on singing along with the others.

Nice touch with the gift and the note…sorry to say Jules, but you might as well get to pack’n…Sorry I have been a silent reader, but I had to comment after this chapter…PPS
that was such an awesome update. dana’s note was so beautiful. i was starting to think – how will they ever work this out? but the ending has given me some hope. i feel bad for jules and lara but like gemzo said – you can’t stand in the way of true love. thanks for that.
Poor, poor Jules. I liked the fact that Max and Jenny had a fight. That was cute. But poor Jules… lol
Wow fantastic part! Beautiful note from Dana, I feel a bit sorry for Jules but you can’t stand in the way of true love (i hope!) PPS :)
Okay, you made me cry like three times with this thing. Poor Alice, and poor Jules, and poor Dana. Poor everybody, except not Helena since she’s still rich in this. Ha, the wittiness, it astounds even me. And I’m rambling, but I do indeed heart this story immensely.
With Gemzo on this one. awesome story.
Awww, Dana Dana Dana why did you break up with her hmm? Julian is so patient, he’s like super restrained, must be his man powers. LOL I’m sorry, I can’t resist calling her a he, you write so talented and flawless and I’m not poking fun at all, I’m just so caught up and all aboard the danish train woo woo! Ok I think Bradshaw has to stop writing now and chill out because she seems to have lost the plot. Awesome chapter I swear you make me luv you even more with every chap :D xx
awww. that was soo great. loved the note from Dana. It sounds like things are about to be stirred up a bit. Can’t wait to read on.
That was just great. Dana’s gift to Alice was just perfect.
So close, Jules, yet so very, very far away. I’m sorry for her, but as Gemzo’s said, one can’t stop an irresistible force. Nicely done, and sweet at the end.
I actually like Jules…and I think she would be great for Alice if Dana wasn’t around. But Dana is..so back away Jules. ;) I hope a lot of Alice’s quesions willbe anwered by Dana clarifying her note in person.
