"I guess I’m just afraid to leave this couch right now. I know that may sound stupid. Actually, I’m pretty sure that it does." She laughed and shook her head before suddenly growing serious. "But…I’m scared that if I leave right now, that I’m going to wake up and find that this was just an amazing dream or something. And then when I try to come back to it later, I learn that none of it was actually real. I just…don’t…want…to lose you already." She finished her plea in a bare whisper, her voice catching in her throat as the sting of hot tears fell effortlessly down her face.
"Hey," Alice whispered back, placing hands on either side of Dana’s face and wiping away the salt water with her thumbs. Placing gentle kisses on the spots where the tears just were and staring her squarely in the eyes, she promised, "You’re not going to lose me, Dana."
And the tone and sincerity of Alice’s promise made Dana feel, if only for one brief, fleeting moment, that Alice could actually be hers forever. If only in that one, tiny moment, forever was somehow suddenly possible. And before she knew what was happening, Alice was leisurely running her tongue along Dana’s sealed lips, demanding entrance. Once granted, the kiss seemed to gain a momentum, a power, behind it as if to further assure the athlete that what existed between them was more real than anything either one had ever experienced.
Of course the one powerful kiss turned into about a dozen more deliberately long ones before either was able to tear themselves away from it. And just as Dana started to forget about everything else but how simply amazing it felt to be this close to Alice again, the writer managed to pull herself back.
"So you’re leaving? For New York?" She tried to mask the disappointment on her face, but her tone nearly gave her away.
"Huh?" Dana asked, still transfixed on the writer’s supple lips, which were too close in proximity to her to focus on anything else at the moment.
"The Open…it’s in New York City, right?"
"Oh. Yeah," Dana relented as a whole new issue began to surface in her brain. "My flight leaves Saturday morning." And as if at the same time they both suffered the realization that they’d be 3,000 miles apart for what could shape up to be 2 whole weeks, the room quickly filled with an eerie sort of quiet. Both women sat there, forgetting about the need to speak at the moment, while realizing how ill-timed this trip was in consideration of their newly-discovered reunion.

YAY!!! I love it! Post Soon!
Yay! I’m sitting in a hotel room in London, online for the first time in almost a week, and I see this on the first page. So happy you posted, and what a great chapter. I’m glad my girls are talking and holdong off on just jumping each others’ bones, although I have to be a perv and admit that I think they should jump each others’ bones all the time. And I know she’s already been claimed, but can I have Jules? Give a girl a break, I got through all of L3 without even a kiss. But it was such an awesome time, and all f them were gorgeous. Leisha and Erin kept watching each other talk on stage, and it was enough to make your heart melt. Well, maybe just mine since I’m a sap. This comment is hella long, sorry!
you blow me away. that was so good. i am glad alice went easy on dana when she tried to walk out, that would have sucked if they already got in a fight. i knew jules was going to know (but how could she not?) and yeah she should have let alice have it – but i’m glad she didn’t. we need to meet up in ny sometime soon? i will email you.
What a great update. This is such a fantastic story it’s been such a journey that you have taken this pair on to get to this point I can’t wait to see what you write for them together. Thanks for updating.
I have loved this story from the very beginning. This chapter is another example of your finest writing, beautifully executed. My heart melted while reading A & D’s tender moments. They absolutely belonged together and thanks for reuniting them at last. Simultaneously, I also felt sorry for Jules. Her speech was accurate, wise, thoughtful and most important of all, flawless. It is really pointless to be someone’s #2. Lastly, I want to convey to you my utmost admiration of your ability to deliver a perfectly crafted story. Bravo!
Hey, I’m totally new here and this was one of the first stories i started reading, I’ve been a bit of a silent reader but I finally decided to come and join the gang. I’m so happy you’ve found time to come and write again, this was a flawless and heartfelt chapter and I can’t fault you. Amazing =)
you rock!! so much too, more more please!! i crave this story so much it’s a little weird actually. Your one of two writers that i get really excited for wen i see u’ve posted i just can’t get enough and now that they’re finally back together its just gunna get so much better, poor jules though oh so sorry for her but it had to happen for danish sake. I can’t wait till next time on if i fall…. neways until next time i guess :) snaps for the swissmister!!!
Excellent chapter as always, swismiss24!! You write both girls so well — so honestly. And it’s great that they are actually communicating. I also love the maturity of the both of them. They both wanted to stay and get re-connected but both realized they had other things they needed to do. Gives me hope that things will work out this time around for them. “Capitan” Hee! Jules? Come on over here and MaGoose will take care of you. ;-D Thanks so much, swismiss24. This really was an amazing update to the story!
I feel sorry for Jules. She’s a great woman, if she were real and here, well somebody would be awfully lucky to have her! hehe This is one awesome chapter swismiss. But even if Jules is great and all, it wouldn’t be fair o neither of them if they continued sailing their ship. Thanks for updating! dear awesomeness:)
Nicely done yet again! I really like the fact Danish slowed down and talked to each other. It’s encouraging to see their relationship maturing. As much as I liked the impulsiveness of “Finally” in S2, I equally enjoyed those few glimpses we had into their still-intimate but less frenzied conversations. Thanks for rounding out their interation for us here. Congratulations on your Bar results! As always, I’m looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for continuing.
I hope you plan to update this AMAZING story soon!
