“It’s okay,” Alice began, “I’m not really thinking straight right now either.” Jules tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and smiled shyly at her. “So you really kicked ass up there.”
“Yeah?”
“Totally. I have to admit, I was a tad weary about some girl calling into my show to invite me to her band’s gig.”
“Oh God, was it totally creepy? I was hoping to avoid the whole creepy Play Misty for Me thing.”
Alice couldn’t help but laugh at this. Not only because she just referenced the Clint Eastwood classic, but also because of how down-to-earth and unassuming she seemed.
“I assure you it wasn’t creepy. It was…”
“Weird?”
“I was gonna say cute, but we can settle on weird if you’d like.”
“No we can have it your way. Unless…”
“Unless?”
“Well unless you change your mind and go with weird after you hear my next question.”
Alice raised her eyebrows as if to say ‘Go ahead’.
“Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?”
“Yeah, that’s a little too weird,” the writer facetiously replied, to which Jules’ face immediately turned a bright shade of crimson. “No, Jules, I was kidding.” The blonde breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more embarrassed that she didn’t pick up on Alice’s joke. “I’d love to have dinner with you tomorrow night.”
“Okay, but only if you play my band’s CD on your show as much as possible.” It was now Alice’s turn to not get the sarcasm as a look of disbelief crossed her face. “What, you think you’re the only one who’s got jokes?” Jules teased. Alice thanked God she wasn’t serious and returned her smile. Jules grabbed a pen from her bandmate and wrote her number on the back of a cocktail napkin sitting under her bottle of water. “Call me tomorrow and we’ll figure out the details.”
“Sounds like a plan. I’ll speak to you then,” Alice retreated from the stage, but not before the two women shared another flirtatious look. Thirty seconds later Shane found her friend standing alone by the bar with an inexplicably silly grin plastered on her face. “Uh…what’d I miss?” the brunette inquired.
“I’m not sure what just happened, but I have a date with the hot lead singer tomorrow night,” replied Alice proudly.
“Alice Pieszecki, you stud. How the hell did that happen?”
“Shane, I have no fucking clue. It’s all a big haze, and I swear it’s not just from the alcohol.”
“Well, she’s hot. Good for you.”
“Thanks. Now let’s get the fuck out of here. I need to get home and catch up on my beauty rest for my hot date.”

Woah so much happened and explained about our girl but firstly, Alice mate what are you doing going out and getting yourself emotionally involved with another woman when your in no fit state to handle yourself? Then again Jules could be could for her but maybe only as a distraction from her underlying problem…Dana. And now that Dana and Lara are rocky over Alice will they break up? And how will Alice react to Dana being single if they do? Will this cause Alice to flip out again blaming herself and how will Dana react to know that Alice is out dating again? oh my god way too many questions I need answers to like right now lol. I think I’m starting to sound like Carrie Bradshaw from SATC with these questions so I’m gonna round it up by saying awesome post, loving this story, you may not post often but damn they are brilliant when you do! xx
Gah! So much tension! So much uncertainty! I don’t know that I can take it! And dammit, you made me like Jules. I’m not supposed to like people other than Dana with Alice, so I’m quite perplexed, especially since you gave her Samuel L. Jackson’s character name in Pulp Fiction. But anyway, aside from my vexation I loved it. So much was explained, and you made it realistic and totally fitting for Alice’s character. I think I’m going to go crawl into a hole in shame now. Toodles.
WOot woot good for Alice! I wonder how Dana’s gonna take Alice dating again. Thanks for another awsome chapter, post more soon!!
I haven’t read yet, but there’s nothing more productive than posting!Okay, maybe that’s not quite true, but you should write as much as you can now – to make up for when you’ll be too busy again in a few weeks. (That didn’t sound self-serving, did it?) lol
I liked Jules too. I didn’t find her annoying at all, though when she called in, she sounded an awful lot like Dana. I’ve never wanted Lara and Dana to stay together – until now. Alice may not be ready for another relationship, but I’m all for a little distraction. I don’t think Alice’s problem is Dana. I think her problem is Alice, and her family issues growing up. I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with Jules and Alice.
i finally got caught up reading the past 5 posts and it is great. i love that you have given some background and reasoning for the things that alice and dana have done. it is definitely true to character. jules sounds super cute. i am excited for jealous dana when she sees them together. post soon.
So I have never read this fic before, but your summary sounded interesting so I gave it a shot and it’s great! I am gonna go catch up right now. lol. I also wanted to say that when you were naming bands and you mentioned Garbage and No Doubt, I was thinking…ok cool. This girl has good taste. But then…you mention Jenny fucking Lewis and Rilo Kiley…and I gotta say…you made me a fan for life. RK is my favorite band of all time and I have met Jenny and the gang several times. That was just too fucking cool when you mentioned them. So anyways, sorry for the ramble. This was great and I look forward to the next chapter. I’m off to read the old ones. lol
Loving this story and hoping you post again soon!
