Helena was almost unaware that her playing had reached such soaring volume until Dana reemerged and walked up to the piano clad only in a towel.
She stopped playing almost immediately as Dana walked closer, tugging at the towel as she went.
Helena offered a sheepish grin and said in a halfhearted attempt at distraction, "I think the swimming pool is on the roof."
Dana frowned at the weak humor and her blue eyes shone seriously as she said gently, "Helena, are you okay?"
The Brit stood from her bench and patted Dana awkwardly on the arm, saying, "I’m just fine, thank you. A bit knackered though."
Dana watched Helena carefully but didn’t press the matter. "Okay. Listen, if you need to talk- I’m here. I know I’m not Alice, but I’m here for you."
Helena felt an overwhelming surge of affection for Dana and she felt herself smiling in spite of herself as she replied, "You’re a dear friend, Dana. I want you to know I’d be as comfortable coming to you as anyone else. Thank you. Truly."
The tennis player tilted her head and gave Helena a meaningful smile. "Okay, I’m gonna go put some clothes on before Alice gets home and starts to think you’re making a play for me."
Helena’s eyebrows raised impressively and she said, "Oh? I’m sorry to say, love, that I fear our Alice might see it differently. You standing before the famous seducer Helena Peabody in only a towel. I could hardly be blamed. Tut tut, Dana."
The women shared a laugh as Helena moved to her own bedroom but Dana couldn’t shake the underlying sense of unhappiness that seemed to follow Helena. Whether it was Bette or something deeper, Dana couldn’t say.

Alice walked toward the loft lugging her guitar case and trying to keep the purse slipping further down her arm from upsetting the cardboard tray loaded with coffee that she held in her hand.
Balancing precariously on one foot, she leaned forward and kicked her foot to flail at the door. The purse slipped another inch and the tray dipped dangerously. Alice’s eyes widened comically as she tried to find her equilibrium.
Sighing, she unclenched her teeth and let the bag full of donuts drop in front of her. With her lips free, she shrugged her shoulders again to try and catch the purse and shouted, "Help! Dana! Helena!"

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.
