    Author Notes:

    Danish! The aftermath of the bathroom encounter; Alice is starting to give into her true feelings; Bette gives Dana a pep talk, and Alice has trouble being “just friends”.

     

    Bette couldn’t conceal the look of shock on her face. Try as she may, she was finding it hard to believe that Dana had just been that candid about her feelings. But now wasn’t the time to doubt what she had just heard. "Have you told her this?"

     

    "Not in so many words, but yeah. She knows how I feel. She knows I want another chance. But that’s not what she wants."

     

    "Do you know that for sure?"

     

    "That’s what she said."

     

    "Dana," Bette let out a small chuckle, "you and I have known Alice for many, many years. Don’t tell me you haven’t figured out by now that what Alice says isn’t always what Alice wants. It’s just her way of protecting herself…like the way she uses the sarcasm. It’s just a defense mechanism."

     

    "Fine, even if she’s protecting herself from me…there’s no way I can get through to her. She’s so hell bent on keeping me far enough away so that I can never hurt her again, and I know she has good reason to want to do that. But God, if she’s so determined to protect herself from me, I can’t possibly make her stop."

     

    "Oh no?"

     

    "What are you saying?" Dana prodded. 

     

    "Let me understand this now," Bette slowly replied as the beginnings of an idea started to form in her head. "You’ve told her how you feel?"

     

    "Yes."

     

    "You told her you’d like another chance?"

     

    "Yes."

     

    "And she seems insistent upon that not happening?"

     

    "Under no uncertain terms."

     

    "Well it seems you need another approach."

     

    "Another approach?"

     

    "Have you tried just being her friend, Dana?"

     

    "Well…wait, what do you mean?"

     

    "I mean the aggressive approach seems to just be pushing Alice further away. What if you just tried to put your feelings aside for the time being and focus on being her friend, and just her friend?"

     

    "But how would that help me get her back?" the athlete questioned.

     

    "Well, for one she may learn to trust you again. She’ll see that you’re there for her, and no matter what, no matter if she never wants to be with you romantically again, that you’re not going to run away like you did last time." Dana considered this for a moment, letting her lips curl into a small smile in the process. "And who knows? The more time you spend with her, the more opportunity Alice will have to be reminded of what a wonderful woman you are, and all the reasons that she fell in love with you in the first place."

    1. As promised, I have returned, so huzzah or some other such thing. To start with, I must have skipped over your disclaimer this morning…I read it and didn’t stop laughing for a good five minutes. Thinking about it now is making me giggle again. I’m glad I don’t have any roommates, or I’d be off to the loony bin for sure. As for the story…well, I hope you’re being serious about the angst letting up soon. Sure, I can be a drama whore in my story, but it’s usually only for a chapter or two. Alice needs to get over herself. I mean, yeah, protecting yourself is all well and good, but you only get so far in life by observing it going on around you. And Dana needs to prove herself with more than just words. (Sidenote…when they finally do reconcile, can it be on a tennis court? The tennis dresses make me drool). And I’ll be glad to take Jules off Al’s hands when she goes back to the love of her life. Oh, and I’m glad somebody agrees with me on the Mariah thing. The very idea makes me cringe, but I have a friend who swears up and down that she’s actually pretty good. Whatev. Okay, now that I’ve babbled your life away, I’ll leave this with a plea for you to post again soon. I still heart this story even though it makes me want to tear out my hair.

    2. forget what muted said about the angst! we LOVE the angst… how can we have steamy, tension filled bathroom moments without angst? don’t hurry it- they’ve only just now started admitting the problem- that ought to be good for at least a few more chapters! : ) loved the scene with Bette too–“The unfamiliar feeling of optimism was a welcome change, and it was as if Bette’s words lifted up a bit of the burden she’d be carrying around lately.” very nice Swis. Post soon.

    3. oh how i’ve waited for you, checking each day to see if you’ve posted and today my lord wat did i see your name…soo worth the wait wat a sad ending tho i love this story great work!!!!!

    5. If I didn’t know how much you loved danish too, I’d be worried. :-) I must ask that you make us suffer at least a little while longer, but please throw us a bone once in a while. :-)

    8. am i first?? i’m never first for anything! anyway, i have to say this was a great chapter! i feel so bad for dana but she put herself in this position. can’t wait to see what happens next. post soon!

    9. Okay, I need to rush to my dead end job so I just skimmed this over, but it looks more than good. I’ll read it when I get home tonight and leave a much better, or at least more well-thought-out, comment then. Yay, you posted right after me! We rule.

    11. So glad to see you updating this story. Feeling sorry for Dana but, yeah, she put herself in this position. Your writing is wonderfully easy to read and the whole story seems to flow so well – lovin’ it!

    12. haha, way to call me out, cape! Nah, the angst is good. I do heart the tension, as long as it leads to good things. You’ve already promised it will, so carry on. :P
