If I Fall: Chapter 13
"It was a great party though, and so nice of Helena to have it at her place," Dana interjected.
"Helena’s the best, no doubt about it. She’s been like, the most generous friend to me."
"Hey, thanks!" Dana feigned being hurt over the comment.
"Well, I mean, you were generous in other ways," the writer defended with a smirk as she removed her glasses before noticing Dana wiggling her eyebrows seductively. "Get your mind out of the gutter, Fairbanks."
"I have no idea what you’re referring to, Pieszecki."
"Yeah, I bet." The two shared a knowing look that made Alice blush a bit before clearing her throat and directing her attention towards the kitchen. "So, anyhoo, where’s Lara today?"
"Uh," Dana began, as she unconsciously dropped her head to concentrate on an empty packet of sugar next to her coffee, "I don’t really know, actually."
Alice could hardly believe her ears. Could there be trouble in paradise already? Before she responded, however, she did her best to conceal the surprise in her voice and sound as nonchalant as possible. "Oh. Well, is everything okay?"
"Yeah…totally. We just spent last night apart, obviously, and I haven’t spoken to her yet today."
"She hasn’t called you?" Alice asked incredulously. She was sure Dana and Lara were closer than that. And, if Lara cared about Dana as much as the writer suspected, she couldn’t believe that the chef wouldn’t have called already hoping to hear the details of last night’s party.
"Sort of…"
"She sort of called?"
"Sort of like 3 times," Dana gently explained.
"Dana!"
"Alice, I can’t believe you’re actually yelling at me for not calling Lara back!"
"Okay, true…the irony in that isn’t lost, even on me. But still, I like to hope I taught you better than to be rude to the ladies like that. Are you sure everything’s okay?"
Dana had to laugh to stall for time as she thought of the best way to explain that she didn’t feel like talking to her girlfriend at all, especially since the only one on her mind lately had been Alice. "Y-yeah," she stuttered.

Okay, first? “Top of the muffin…TO YOU!!!” Sorry, I had to. Second: I love your little homage to Ally’s Julian conjecture. Awesome. Third…nothing specific, just that you’re fucking amazing at this and I heart the story more every time you update. I love the slow buildup thing you have going for Danish, and making Jules human and good for Alice instead of a jerkbot who makes it logical for her to run back to Dana. Love love love this! And take as much time as you need between updates, you’ve got pelnty of people who’ll read and enjoy this no matter how long you make us wait.
I LOVE this story
Quantity and quality … you’re amazing!!! I chuckled when I read the part about Dana not returning Lara’s phone calls. I hate to say it, but I see so many of my less than direct qualities in her. lol I had forgotten that De_Leish said Jules was a guy – too funny! Your story is fantastic. I caught the part you added. It fit in perfectly. Thanks for the update!
Damn I freakin’ love this story. I haven’t had much of a chance to read fanfic lately, so I just read the last two updates now. Can’t wait to see what you have planned next.
Finally got caught up this morning…and am still very much enjoying this. You’re doing such a great job of capturing the awkwardness of trying to pretend nothing’s there while they’re trying to recapture their comfort zone. Looking forward to more! PPS
On one hand I could strangle Dana for playing with Alice’s emotions like that. On the other hand…if it would result in a positive Danish outcome I’m all for encouraging Dana on what she is doing (although she doesn’t even know herself waht she exactly is doing ;)). Looking forward to the next chapter!
Lameoid I am – I’ve just discovered your story – Yay! for me – it’s wonderful. Jules sort of scares me – anyone that immaculate must be borderline wacky mcnutty. I am so anticipating the next chapter.
Ok I LMFAO when the penis convo was brought up! I’m so happy Dana agrees with me :D I luv ya for that, I truly do, it’s made my night. In fact this whole post was amazing, the depth and realism you write about their situation is so excellent. PPS
