If I Fall: Chapter 13
"But only at the scary parts?"
"Sheer coincidence. Besides, I really just did it so you’d put your arm around me…," Dana noticed Alice’s face turning a pale shade of red and smiled at the good fortune she had, still being able to make her blush after all this time. "So, you think about the beach while I go get myself another cup of coffee. You want one?"
"No I’m good. Oh hey, can you grab me one of those little things I love. The muffin top things that aren’t really muffins…well, according to the British."
"Scones?"
"Yeah, that’s it. I think I like the—"
"—Raspberry."
"Yeah, and if they can—"
"—I’ll make sure they heat it up for you."
"Oh and you know what, on second thought I think I’m in desperate need of some—"
"—Vanilla Frap with skim milk coming up. You still like the whipped cream right?"
"Love the cream," the writer smiled as Dana unconsciously bit her bottom lip and let her eyes roam up and down Alice’s body. And as she watched Dana walk away from the table, Alice tried to remember if the athlete had always been able to finish her sentences like that, or if she’d just forgotten how well Dana really knew her. Either way, it felt good being reminded that after all this time, the profound bond they shared was seemingly unbreakable, regardless of what their relationship had been through. And even though Alice had lost herself for awhile there, it appeared that she wasn’t really lost to Dana.
It’s an unexplainable comfort that arises, a type of warm, tingly feeling surging throughout your body when you can acknowledge that just one look, or one word (in this case, scone) from another person can make you feel like you’re home again. That’s what Dana did for Alice, even after all that had happened. While Alice still had unvoiced trepidation about whether or not she and Dana would be able to get back the friendship in the condition it was before they became intimate, it eased her mind a bit when she recognized just how connected to each other they still were. True, it was just a simple breakfast order that made Alice think of all this, but she reckoned that it was so much more than that after all. It was really just the way they were with each other, the intricate dynamic between them that appeared on the surface to be as simple as could be, yet the two of them only knew just how deep their connection ran.

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
