Alice just shook her head in disbelief. “Hey, whatever floats your boat. Who am I to judge?”
“How are things…I mean, how are you really?”
“You mean with Dana?”
“Well yeah…but I don’t want to pry so if you don’t want to tell me, I completely understand. It’s totally your call, I mean, I really am still a stranger at this point, I wouldn’t blame you if—”
Alice’s laughter at the strange, and somewhat adorable rambling that this woman tended to do cut Jules off before she could finish, “Oh god, you’re laughing at me…”
“No! I promise not at you…with you,” the writer teased. At this Jules raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “Okay, maybe just a bit at you. But it’s because you’re so cute,” it was out of her mouth before Alice could take it back. She’d wanted to say it since they first met, but her fear at scaring her off had stopped her. She figured now that the two glasses of wine were probably helping to quell those fears a bit.
“I am?”
“Well…yeah. The way you ramble on when you’re nervous. I like it.” Truth be told, it sort of reminded Alice of Dana’s innate ability to ramble when nervous or tongue-tied, and she knew it probably wasn’t the best reason to find Jules so cute. But, it was familiar to Alice as she had become a pro at handling Dana when she got like that, and familiar felt good. Besides, Alice figured that it may just mean she had a “type”.
“See that’s a good thing, because I’m pretty nervous right now so the rambling may just work to my benefit.”
Alice blushed. “So what exactly do you want to know about Dana?”
“Well, I’m assuming that everything you’ve said on air is probably pretty accurate?”
“God, yeah, unfortunately it is. I guess the bright side is that now I don’t have to rehash all the gory details to you. However, you pretty much know everything…which is why I can’t believe you’re here.”
“You should really stop being so hard on yourself…or at least stop focusing on what you did and starting thinking about why you did it. You cared very much for someone who you thought you could always count on no matter what. And because of that, you put your entire self into a relationship that you had no reason to initially doubt. That’s human nature Alice. If we can’t trust our best friends with our hearts, who the hell are we supposed to trust? You’d be a cold, scared, lonely person if you thought you weren’t able to count on your best friend to be there for you.”

LOL I’m glad you liked my Carrie rant and the only thing missing was the cosmo since I was smoking lol. However after the last cosmo incident I had I vowed not to drink them again for a very long time. Anyway back to what’s important, your story, your amazingly fantastic story. Jules, I half love her half hate her, she’s so damn cute and funny and perfcet and that’s great if I wasn’t such a danish lover. My heart is being torn betwene Alice’s sanity and a danish relationship, your making it sound like they belong apart because it’s easier on them both which makes me very sad :( I think Dana’s reaction was totally realistic to her character and if I was Lara I’d be major pissed off. Ok that’s enough ranting for now, awesome post, you’re putting me to shame big time. PPS xx
i feel bad for dana – she sounds so confused. but then at the same time i am happy for alice that jules sounds so awesome. thanks for posting so fast and ggreat job.
It seems like everyone on this site is trying to out me lately, in some form or another. First De_leish_ous outs me as a Danish perv, now you’ve outed me as a Jules fan…before long there won’t be any closets left to hide in. I really liked this one, you got a lot accomplished in only a few pages. I just have to ask…and feel free not to answer if you don’t want to, but…are you a Helacious fan, by chance? Just wondering. And as to Alice having a type, Jules does have dark hair, right? ;) I’m such a nerd, sorry. Anyway, you do a freaking fantastic job of getting into Dana’s head, and if I were Lara I’d be really pissed off right about now. You’ve managed to make me feel bad for the Soup Chef, so be proud!
Watching a Jet game with Patriot fans … sorry for you! Are you going to hang out with your Pats friends next week too? I find myself liking Jules a lot. She seems to have real depth. I hope she’s someone Alice can fall for.I think Dana doesn’t wants to be so selfish as to mess up things for Alice, but I’m sure she’ll blow up the thing with Jules – eventually.Go Helena! Speak the truth! :-D
Well let me start off by saying that you can never talk to me too much about music. lol. It’s pretty much my life :D Moving on to Jenny Lewis, I have met her several times and she is amazing and beautiful. I will have to tell you the story sometime of how we first met but it was awesome and hilarious and she’s fantastic! Very short though…which surprised me a bit…anyways, RK is my all time fav band and her solo album was excellent! PM sometime about them. Ok so on to the story. lol. This was awesome and I love where it’s headed. I don’t know how I missed this story but I am glad I found it. Keep up the great work and post again soon!
