If I Fall: Chapter 15
"How was your run?"
"Alright, I guess. If I want to even make it past the practice rounds next week, I need to be in better shape than this," she explained as she applied the towel to her face.
"Well, you look like you worked your ass off out there. You’re completely drenched."
"Yeah, sure," she replied absent-mindedly.
Lara narrowed her eyes trying to figure out what was on Dana’s mind, but she knew it was an incredibly futile task. For her, trying to read Dana was like trying to read a book in Swahili…upside down. Although lately, reading Dana wasn’t really a question since the answer usually started and ended with Alice Pieszecki. The chef knew that almost every troubled look, every far-off stare, every vacant glance on Dana’s face occurred because she was busy thinking about Alice. And for Lara, it had gone on for long enough.
"Your friends are over there you know. And I’ll have your protein shake ready in a minute," Lara muttered while trying to conceal her frustration. Dana hadn’t really noticed, too consumed with containing her own nausea to realize her girlfriend’s upset. She slowly turned to the table where Shane, Carmen and Tina sat and waved at the three women, making a mental note that Alice wasn’t with them.
"Yeah, I wish I could stay and sit with them. But I got the tournament coming up and Mike’s being a real hard-ass about my training, so I should probably just take the shake to go."
"Yeah that sucks, but I’m sure they’ll understand." Lara tried her best to smile, but even that came out half-hearted and broken. And as soon as she turned her back on Dana to finish making the shake, the brunette’s eyes scanned around the coffee house to check for Alice once more. And as fate would have it, as soon as the bathroom door came into her line of vision, it seemed to magically open where who emerged, but Alice.
As she let the door swing swiftly behind her, Alice noticed Dana right away and stuttered in her step a bit before flashing a shy smile her way. This of course caused the athlete’s breath to catch in her throat as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and slowly returned the smile. They found themselves caught in a pretty intense gaze for a moment there before Alice reluctantly averted her eyes and headed back towards their friends’ table.
