"Yeah well, some of us have to work. We can’t all wake up at 1:30 and come and go as we please."
"Wait, so is anyone else here?" Alice asked hesitantly, deciding to ignore Shane’s last comment.
"Just Dana." Alice glanced nervously over at the athlete seated at the corner table. "Hey, you alright? I thought things were cool with you guys, but if you need me to stay I can probably call over to Wax and—"
"No no, stop it! I’m fine. Just didn’t expect it to be a table for two, that’s all," Alice explained, laughing to herself.
"Well, alright then. You kids have fun and stay out of trouble. I’ll call you later."
And with that, she adjusted her sunglasses and walked out the door. Alice took a deep breath, unconsciously smoothing the last remnants of her bed-head and made her way over to the table where Dana was patiently waiting.
"Hey."
"Hey. Sunglasses inside?" the athlete noticed.
"I know, I know. The only people that wear sunglasses indoors are blind people and assholes. But I’d like to amend that statement to include the severely hung over as well."
"That bad, huh?"
"I think I drank an entire vineyard last night. Possibly two."
"I didn’t realize you had so much to drink at the party."
"Yeah well, at the party…and after the party."
"Right…" Dana solemnly acknowledged as she remembered Jules and Alice leaving early to begin what was likely their own private celebration. "So you and Jules had a lot to drink when you got home, huh?"
"Well, not exactly. I sort of downed my own bottle after she’d fallen asleep for the night." She looked down at her hands remembering how difficult last night had been. When she finally tore her eyes away from reading Dana’s note for the third time that night, she returned to the bedroom and was regrettably greeted by Jules’ back turned to her. And when she attempted to spoon with the blonde, hoping to convey how much she cared for her despite her lack of desire to be intimate, she was brutally rebuffed. Well maybe not exactly rebuffed…Jules did allow Alice’s arms to wrap around her, but she didn’t make a move to get closer to the writer, or show any signs of being aware that Alice was trying to cuddle. And then after the first hour and a half of staring up at the ceiling, replaying the encounters she had with Dana earlier that evening, she decided to give up on the idea of sleep completely and fix herself another drink. Somehow another hour went by and Alice had managed to finish off most of the bottle before crawling back into her bed and passing out beside her girlfriend.

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
