If I Fall: Chapter 23
"Dana Fairbanks, since when have you been Captain Communicado?"
"It’s Capitan, thank you very much!"
"Such a dork."
She grinned widely at the lightness between them, so incredibly relieved that despite all this tension and seriousness that existed, they could still tease each other and make light of things without giving it a second thought. "Since I realized that keeping everything inside and shutting down cost me the love of my life. And now that I have you back, I don’t want that to happen again." Dana placed her hands on either side of Alice’s face and smiled assuredly at her.
Alice felt a tinge behind her eyes as the salt water occupying them threatened to spill over. "You really think," she closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side in order to nestle closer into Dana’s hand. "That…I’m the love of your life?"
"I know you are."
And Dana said it with such heartfelt conviction that Alice couldn’t even attempt to doubt her. Instead, she moved in closer and pulled Dana down on top of her into another scorching kiss.
Another five minutes passed before they were both startled apart by yet another ear-splitting alarm clock, reminding Dana that her job responsibilities weren’t going away. She pushed herself up off the couch and hit a few buttons on her phone before the sound died away. Sighing as she checked the time, she looked guiltily back at Alice, who was busy smoothing out her now-wrinkled shirt.
"I’m so sorry—," she began.
"But you have to go. I get it Dane, it’s your job. That should come first right now."
"Ugh, I hate it when you’re right."
"Get used to it Fairbanks."
Inching in nearer so that her lips were now precariously close to the writer’s ear, Dana whispered, "I can’t wait to be reminded of all the things I need to get used to again." She heard Alice shudder just before she felt a hand on the back of her neck pulling her down so that their lips met once more.
When they broke apart, both flushed and panting slightly, Dana spoke first. "Listen, it’s still so early and I know you didn’t get any sleep last night. Why don’t you go lie down for awhile while I’m training? And this way when I get back maybe we can go to lunch or something?"

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!
