For Alice, it felt good to be back in Dana’s arms like that. It was as if every muscle in her body relaxed at the felt of the athlete’s skin on her own. And part of that was because of the undeniable, almost magnetic, pull she felt existed between them, especially when they were standing that close. It was all either of them could do just to stand there and let gravity pull them towards each other. Alice was tired of fighting that attraction. She was tired of fighting Dana. And most of all, she was tired of fighting herself.
And just as she was starting to give in, she felt Dana’s hand reach below her chin and lift her face up towards her. Quickly, yet tentatively, the athlete placed a soft kiss on her lips and pulled away to wait for Alice to respond. They fixed their gazes on each other, Alice unconsciously biting her bottom lip as her eyes drifted downward to focus on Dana’s inviting lips. And just like that, Dana found herself being ravaged by Alice . Their lips met once again in brute force, Alice immediately demanding entrance with her tongue to Dana’s, which the athlete gladly gave her. Fingers became tangled up in hair once again as they both pressed their bodies as close together as humanly possible. And once again, Dana reveled in the all-consuming feeling of being like this with Alice, her Alice. And for the first time in months, she was sure not only that this was where she wanted to be for the rest of her life, but that maybe, after everything, Alice actually wanted that too.
And then the rug was pulled out from beneath her.
"I’m sorry…I’m sorry. It’s too late. It’s just too late." Alice broke away from Dana, fleeing from her grasp and backing away cautiously.
"Alice please, just stay. Let’s talk about this."
"No," the writer ran a hand shakily through her hair while the other hand covered her mouth. "No I have to um, I have to go. I have to find Jules." She grabbed her keys off the coffee table and moved towards door.
"Jules?" Dana, who was completely caught off guard, asked in bewilderment. She didn’t understand how Jules could still even be an issue after that kiss they just shared.
"Goodbye Dana."
"Alice!"
Dana staggered towards her, but Alice rushed through the open door and hurried outside, darting to her car without once turning around to witness the anguished look on the athlete’s face. And Dana just stood there, both arms outstretched and clutching the door frame to keep her from doubling over and giving into the pain. She watched as Alice peeled out of the driveway and into the night, wondering what had just happened and how they even got to this place. And then she realized how familiar this scene felt. Suddenly, the eerily reminiscent feelings creeping up upon her seemed to make total sense once she recalled that night where it all started. She and Alice standing nervously in the doorway, fumbling for just the right words to explain how they felt, followed by a kiss that made Dana wonder how she ever existed before knowing what passion really felt like.
Shaking her head slowly at the images swirling through her head, she resignedly walked back into her condo and shut the door behind her. Making her way into the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of water, although she was more concerned with the emotional hangover she’d have in the morning than any physical one the alcohol could possibly give. And when she finally found an unopened bottle and closed the refrigerator behind her, she came face-to-face with the blinking clock on her microwave. Like a cruel joke, the neon lights flashed on and off before her, making damn well sure that she was fully aware of the time it was exhibiting. Dana let out a self-deprecating laugh as another tear fell steadily down her cheek.
‘Figures,’ she thought, ‘this all had to happen at 4am.’

awesome. i am so excited to see what happens next.
Oh man my heart is breakin here, this was a great chapter!!, I hope Dana doesn’t give up though, thanks for the post!!
Fantastic chapter – Dana can’t give up on Alice – what a pity she was so stoned – as things might have been a bit different. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
OMG…that was intense. I was holding my breath untill the end of this chapter! What is their next move? What will Alice tell Jules? And how will ‘ sober’ Dana act around Alice the next time they see each other?
Okay, I haven’t even read past the first page yet, but I have to comment and say that I’m a little freaked out. After work this morning I decided to have a Tarantino marathon, and right before I checked the main page I’d just finished watching Pulp Fiction. Needless to say, I’m feeling a little spooked as well as amused by the word “motherfucker” in this. Okay, I’m gonna go read the rest and leave more feedback later. Ta.
Okay, I read it and have returned to comment again. You’re a fucking heartbreaker, you know that?? I’m seriously crying over here. Poor Dana, poor Alice, and even poor Jules, but she’s a bad mother fucker so she’ll get over it. Well, if there’s anything to get over, which there had better be because Alice and Dana need to be together.
First things first it happened at 4am…that was magical, next I am so glad that Dana actually told Alice how she feels but for some reason I don’t think Jules is just going to sit back and let it Dana and Alice happen. This chapter would have to have an 11/10 if I could do that. Fantastic PPS.
Wow! As much as my heart breaks for Dana, I understand Alice’s need to protect herself. Jules is a saint and all, but I wonder how she will react when Alice finally finds her. She gets it. Not only does Dana belong to Alice, (I loved that line), but Alice belongs to Dana too!Go Tennessee!
Wow that was just perfect I can’t wait to see wat happens next
Ouch you are killing me here. PPS. You can’t leave us hanging like that, not nice.
I think we know the real reason Alice and Jules haven’t slept together yet *nudge nudge* , so when he and Alice eventually have the talk about ‘Dana’ will he admit his secret? hehe ok I love this, I truly do, I want it to never end. :) xx
damn! poor dana :S she finally opens to alice but guess it was too late :( i just want jules to disappear…:P well not really but frak! i just want danish together :( can’t wait for your next chapter :D
