Carmen, Shane, Lara and Dana were gathered around Dana’s coffee table, all seated on various pieces of living room furniture with drinks in hand and food in their mouths. Lara had thought it would be a fun idea to have them over to Dana’s for a "couple’s night", which seemed to Dana to basically just be a glorified excuse to hang out and drink. Although to Lara it was something more symbolic. It was a way of insinuating herself into the group further, hoping that Dana would notice how well she got along with her friends and in turn be less distant towards her. The chef knew it was a reach, but she was at the point with Dana where she’d try just about anything to bridge the widening gap between them.
She’d be feeling extremely insecure lately since Alice came back into the picture, and found herself doing whatever she could to silently show Dana that the chef was just what she wanted. Now she knew it wasn’t fair after all this time to be feeling like she was still playing second fiddle to Alice Piesezecki once again, but Lara knew how this would all play out if she started showing any signs of jealousy or difficulty with Dana’s renewed friendship with the writer. To be concise: Dana would run. And as much as Lara knew she wasn’t as happy as she should be, living her life in a manner that required her to bite her tongue and sometimes walk on eggshells, she knew that losing Dana again was a much worse feeling.
Yet she couldn’t help but let her mind go to all the places she knew it shouldn’t when thinking about her girlfriend’s "friendship" with Alice . Let’s face it, it was never a just a friendship, and Lara was wise to that. Even when she dated Dana the first time around she could always tell there was something more between those two, despite the fact that even they may not have known it themselves. Lara immediately liked the group of friends, but there was just something off about Alice. Despite her suspicions, she liked Alice and took to her right away. But she couldn’t help noticing the lingering looks she and Dana shared, or the way that their hugs would last just a bit longer than any others. And the way they mercilessly teased each other? Lara was convinced that was just a type of foreplay, or a prelude of what was to come. Truth be told, Lara always knew that their love ran deeper than simple friendship. But Dana never said a word about having those types of feelings for Alice. And at that point in time Alice was doing her best to bend gender stereotypes by dating a lesbian man, so the chef knew that she wasn’t in any immediate danger of losing her girlfriend to Alice. However, she wasn’t exactly surprised when she found out months later that they had finally given in to the undeniably sexual tension between them and begun a romantic involvement.

Pfft I beat that Bradshaw hands down, I’m sure she copied me actually :P Anyway on to the reason for this comment, my god this gets better and better and I sincerely mean that! I like to read Lara’s point of view even though I’m nto a fan of her character but thats probably because the show didn’t explore her enough. Dana needs to sit down, breathe and seriously re-evaluate what she wants in life and more importantly, who. Alice should be honest with Jules if she’s not ready for commitment, it sounds like she’s stringing her along from fear and that’s pretty bad even though it’s coming from a good place. Shit I could ramble on and on but I will save you the pain and just say well done! PPS :)
Okay, I cried for like half this chapter, it’s that damn good. It’s like Shane said in Loud and Proud, when she told Alice that she could see Dana loves her…then asks her if she can’t see that. I think it’s always been obvious that Dana loves Alice beyond life, she just doesn’t know how to say it, and poor Alice somehow can’t see it for what it is and needs the words. Okay, so that’s my essay on Danish for the day. And yes, I heart Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was pretty sure that’s where you’d taken the sunglasses thing from, but I didn’t want to say anything in case I was wrong. I sense that you’ll be getting these two stubborn biatches together before too long, and I couldn’t be happier about it…just please have them communicate, k? Okay, I’m really done now, I swear. Love this more every time you update.
Even the fucking shrink knows that Dana loves Alice……greats chapter PPS
Great story and great update. You do a wonderful job of representing Alice and Dana, strengths and flaws alike.
Usually I completely relate to Dana as you write her, and explain her twisted motivations. :-) At the end of this update I completely related to Alice. Maybe that’s why I love this couple so much. I guess I should thank you for inadvertantly giving me the therapy I so obviously need. lol I’m glad the doctor was able to see how Dana feels about Alice. Alice can’t be objective about her interactions with Dana, nor can she trust her feelings for the athlete. As Alice was describing what eventually happens when she and Dana spend time together, it was pretty clear that Dana reacts that way because of her own feelings for Alice. Alice’s heart may suspsect that is the reason for Dana’s change, but her mind can’t allow her to set herself up for the heartache that will come. I’m so glad you had time to update. You are writing a wonderful story.
Loved this chapter, liked Lara’s point of view, and Harriet giving Alice some direction to whats going on with Dana. Thanks for an awsome post!!
that was great. I can’t wait to see what Alice does with this new info that Harriet gave her
