Usually these encounters ended with Alice tip-toeing out of the room before the stranger lying next to her awoke. Though sometimes she’d have to make up some lame excuse as to why she was leaving after the deed was done, and also without the other person’s number in hand. But other times she would just leave before anything could happen at all. There was no rhyme or reason to it, there were just some nights that she couldn’t pretend to be into the person enough to get to the point where she turned her brain off and allowed herself to simply feel. There was a numbness of mind that was required now whenever she had the desire to be with another person, and it took a lot out of her to get to that point. So if she wasn’t drunk enough, or hadn’t medicated herself to the proper degree of lassitude, she’d hightail it out of there after only a kiss, mumbling excuses in a hurried attempt to get out the door.
The song ended and Alice readjusted the microphone in preparation to take her first caller. She cleared her throat and began the call in her incidental sexy radio voice.
“Hello caller, you’re on The Chart”
“Hey, am I on the air?” replied a woman’s voice.
“Yes you are, and who am I speaking with?”
“This is Jules.”
”Hey, Jules. So is ‘Jules’ short for anything?”
“Uh, Juliana. But I don’t think anyone really cares…”
“Well I do.”
“I appreciate that, but I’m not so sure this really makes for good radio.”
“So you called up to tell me my show sucks? I see how it is,” Alice teased.
“No!” Jules quickly replied. “I mean…I doubt the listeners care about what my nick name stands for. But it’s not that it’s your fault, I was just trying to help. I guess it’s not really for me to decide though…”
As this Jules character kept rambling on, Alice couldn’t help but find it somewhat endearing. She had to lean away from the microphone to conceal her laughter as she listened to Jules try to apologize for what she thought were Alice’s hurt feelings. In reality, Alice just enjoyed playing with the callers, but this poor girl needed to be cut off before she used up all her oxygen.

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!
