Instead, Dana listened distractedly as her mother burbled enthusiastically. Dana listened right up until her mother said, "And I can’t wait to meet this boy at Parent’s Weekend."
Dana launched herself up in bed and repeated sharply, "Parents’ Weekend?"
Sharon laughed good-naturedly and said as though she was speaking to someone half Dana’s age, "Of course, darling. Your father and I are coming up to see you. We want you to show us all around your usual haunts and we want to meet your friends. Especially this special someone you’ve been hiding from us. "
Dana’s lips were moving soundlessly and she felt like she’d been suckerpunched. Of course her parents would want to come. How could she have forgotten Parents’ Weekend?
"Alice."
Dana’s eyes snapped open in shock and she squeaked out, "What did you say, mom?"
Sharon repeated firmly, "Alice. I want to meet this girl that you can’t stop talking about. All of your calls home – when they happen, young lady- are Alice this, Alice that. I can’t wait to meet her."
Dana responded glumly, "She can’t wait to meet you either."
Dana spoke to her mother for a few more minutes and then hung up the phone feeling as if someone had bashed her over the head with it.
Dropping her head into her hands, she spent a few moments wallowing in utter self-pity before she walked into the bathroom and started a bath; debating whether or not to drown herself inside it.
——————
Helena felt a twinge of remorse for letting so much time elapse before remembering to tell Dana that her parents had called. She hoped that the conversation wouldn’t be too unpleasant for the athlete.
Then again, not everyone had such contentious relationships with their parents. It was surely one of life’s great ironies that she and Alice ended up living together and cornering the market on mother issues.
Tapping away thoughtfully at the ivory keys laid out before her like the most familiar roadmap, Helena began to think of Bette. The woman was exasperating. Infuriating. Terrifyingly sexy.
It all came down to a vein of sheer, unbridled competition in Helena that was richly mined by Bette herself. She couldn’t understand the passions that Bette awoke in her. She couldn’t stand herself half the time. She became pretentious and arrogant and smug. Her natural predilection to be somewhat aggressive and demanding during sexual encounters was certainly only encouraged by Bette’s own desires.

Poor Helena. I hope she finds someone who is a better match for her. Dana is so sweet with wanting to help Helena and making sure Alice’s papers don’t tip over. But, man, she is heading for a rough ride over Parent’s Weekend. “I was hoping to seduce you on the way to the bathroom.” — Hee! And the towel thing at the end was so Danish. As for “6 Days”… Keep in mind that you may have limited yourself to four parts, but, you have unlimited *sub-parts* to work with. ;-D Thanks again for the wonderful stories!
HEY! I’m glad to see you’re posting again. I miss the last post and had to go back to catch up, but now I’m back! Dana’s mother thinks that she found a man that stole her heart? Wow..I don’t think things will be good for Dana at Parents Weekend. I hope that the concert goes great for A-Okays and Helena. I see that you’re bringing Tina more into the story..What’s bothering Helena?? Will she let it out and tell someone?? Of course, I love Alice and Dana together. They are so sweet and cute and especially funny AND sexy…Can’t wait for the next chapter…THANKS!
heeeeeey i missed you and ur fast posts lol love this story always will hope they get it on hahaha u write em so well they just semm so perfect such a sweet story…oh and i sense drama with the fairbanks’s coming into town eee can’t wait love abit of drama :)
lol Alice is so gonna be in trouble for that one! That was good. I can’t wait to read Parents week. That should be interesting hehe. It’s sad that she feels she can’t be out though, hopefully all that’s gonna be okay soon. thanks for updating PPS:D
Hey Frip first so sorry to hear about your breakup but your young and you will find someone else just for you!! Anyway, I loved how you have helena brooding about something other than Bette. And poor Dana her parents coming to meet her new BF and AL,,,lol,,great chapter!!
that was pretty funny. they would be my favorite outfits too. sorry about the breakup. and school sucks. sooo glad i’m done with that. team usa 4-eva.
fripster, so happy to see you posting. Sorry to hear about your breakup. Hope it is for the better. Thanks for sharing the noodles incident. I swear those drinks are equally deadly. Now hopefully, I am a little older and wiser. Must admit that I still enjoy a couple here and there. But nothing like before. Again, I can’t stop laughing. You are just so remarkably good with this story. “soundproofing the walls… the stack of paper… fall off and the subsequent explosion of frustration… to drown herself inside it… swimming pool is on the roof…” & A trying to hold on to her donuts, coffee and guitar case then telling H that D was naked. The fun just doesn’t stop. I can’t wait to read about the Parents’ weekend. This is one night cap that I have treasured. Thanks.
Awwww, so cute. I just love how adorably you write Danish in each other’s company. While they’ve both got their issues, when they’re together none of that seems to matter, and it gives me hope that maybe somewhere out there, something like that really exists. Maybe not, but I kinda like deluding myself about it. Anyway, sorry about the breakup dear…although now I might just have a chance. No? Well, okay, but at least I tried. I’m totally kidding, don’t mind me, I’m rather sleep deprived. As to soccer…sheesh. It was beautiful until that game. I adored watching something so great, but so secret at the same time. Seriously, one of the few sports we do really well in on a worldwide level, and hardly anyone cares??! Ridiculous I say. But yeah, that game depressed me for days. It was like watching a star die. Okay that’s totally melodramatic but it did make me sad, lol. I should really go to sleep before I make any less sense than I am.
