If I Fall: Chapter 14
"Wow, Lara, these things are amazing. But what are they?" Carmen managed to get out as she finished chewing her food.
"Crab Rangunes. It’s a new recipe I’m trying out for The Planet’s menu…I guess they made the cut, huh?" the chef laughed and smiled warmly across the coffee table at Carmen, all the while, from the corner of her eye, catching Dana daydreaming next to her.
"Totally. Hey, anytime you need a guinea pig, you call me. Dana, I’m so jealous, you must eat like a queen! I wish my girlfriend new how to make more than just remedies for a hangover."
"Uh, you weren’t complaining the morning after Alice’s party when your girlfriend was nice enough to make you a concoction to take away your hangover," Shane shot back.
"Haha, well I’m sure Shane tries. But yeah, Dana’s hard not to spoil." The chef smiled and leaned over to Dana, giving her a peck on the cheek. This was enough to shake the athlete from her reverie as she smiled politely up at her friends. "Carmen, if you really want to be a guinea pig you can come help me in the kitchen and be the first to try the Vietnamese Spring Rolls."
"Girl, you don’t have to ask me twice!" Carmen quickly followed Lara into the kitchen, chatting the whole way about some recipe for Empanadas her abuela used to make when she was a kid.
Dana waited until Lara and Carmen were in the kitchen and out of ear shot to turn to Shane, who was currently nursing a beer, not noticing the rather anxious athlete staring forlornly at her. When she noticed the way Dana was contorting her face like she wanted to ask something, she took one last long sip, placed the drink down on the coffee table between them, and raised her eyebrows expectantly.
"What?"
"What?" Dana replied all too quickly.
"What’s with the look on your face?"
Dana suddenly turned beat red, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear and dropping her head down. "What look?"
Shane rolled her eyes. "The look you have on your face that says you want to ask me something but are too scared to ask."

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
