Alice was leaning in to steal a kiss when Dana suddenly pulled back, gesturing to the other two women in the room. Alice coughed nervously and reddened again.
Both of them tuned back into Helena’s story, which ended with a nine year old Helena hanging suspended from a third story window while her thirteen year old brother snogged Pheobe Woodburne-Sneed, Helena’s first crush.
——————————————————————————-
Lenore joined them for dinner and Alice was surprised to find that it went relatively smoothly. They ate at a small Mexican restaurant around the corner from the loft and while the margaritas flowed freely, the drama was happily absent.
Dana sat beside Alice but not too close. There were some girls from the tennis team dining nearby and Alice wordlessly moved over to the edge of the booth to give Dana more space.
Alice didn’t even seem to question the movement and that bothered Dana more than it would have if she’d seemed openly hurt by it.
Again, Dana was struck by her feelings of guilt over forcing Alice to remain so guarded in public. She wanted more than anything to be able sit right beside Alice and to hold her hand and kiss her cheek; audience or no.
She knew she was being selfish but Alice was being so damned understanding about it that she knew she was taking it for granted.
Helena had called Shane before they’d left the loft and invited her to join them and she and Lenore were currently discussing the merits of dying the older woman’s hair a darker shade. Shane’s major was undeclared but she dabbled in hairstyling and had cut Alice’s hair many times.
Tearing her thoughts away from the biggest question marks in her life, Dana decided to focus on the conversation around her.
Alice was telling a very funny story about some of the encounters she’d had while on tour that summer.
Dana listened with a mixture of pride and surprise. She’d had no idea that Alice’s band had toured so extensively. They’d even been so far as Nova Scotia and when Alice’s story incorporated some of her experiences in New York Dana felt a twinge of jealousy as she imagined Bette and Alice’s time together.
Shane asked Alice with obvious interest, "So when do you guys hit the studio?"

Poor Alice!! I would probably curl up into a ball and die if my mother did that to me. At least she had Dana there with her fir support. So how long before Alice starts to grow tired of having to hide being with Dana? You can already see guilt of it all is eating Dana alive. But what about Alice? Do we get to see how she really feels about it all? Anyway I can’t wait for next post since you left us dangling there at the end. I just love a drunk Dana.
Not a drop of Danish tonight until you showed up at 3am EST. I was about to go to bed. What can I say? You are amazing! Thank you for your comment and analysis. I totally agree with you about ED’s & LH’s. If weren’t for their outstanding performance, I do not think I will be so hooked on reading all these Danish stories and writing comments at 4am. I thought I too came across a story or 2 about A & L. But I did not read them. So if you happen to know, please tell me then I shall broaden my horizon. You have Lenore down perfectly. Thanks a lot Lenore, “Seems like I just met the last one”; Charlie’s angel? (Like Jaclyn Smith and hope is not Kate Jackson); “and the six million dollar man came along”. Poor Alice. I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this chapter. You are just a natural and your timing is perfect. Sitting in the booth scene really hit the whole staying in the closet issue. Good job. Btw, you are way to humble about your success. I am still laughing as I am typing this. Bravo! And I did not have one drop of alcohol. Like I was telling Akiracolorblind earlier. Danish stories make the best night cap. Hope you have a happy weekend & looking forward to your next post.
Hey frip, I must say that I ahve always liked Leonore and wish she would be back on the show. You really got her pegged down and Al is so different wieh she is around. I feel that Helena and Dana got more than they wanted w/Leonore and see why Al is the way she is IMO. Great chapter frip!!
oohhh… leave us hangin right there huh? again, LOVE IT! I logged in two seconds after I got home! hahah I can’t wait for the next chapter
you are z best frip!!this story is beyond good loving it and no do not mind the quick posts look forward to my daily danish can always count on you making it delicious;)
Another excellent chapter! The drama was nicely offset with the humor and love between Dana and Alice. I hope the next installment picks up in the bathroom. And you can be my wingman any time….
HEY!!!! I do really agree wih you about ED & LH. I don’t think the story would be great if it wasn’t for their wonderful performance on the show! I love the Top Gun reference: that was cute. I love the story about lil’ Alice getting rescued by the Six Million Dollar Man. I felt sorry for Alice about her mother, but what mother doesn’t have an embarassing story about their child? lol anyways great job..PPS!
Awww. This chapter was a little hard to read. I had a rough childhood, so Lenore’s blatant disregard and condescension toward Alice bring back a lot of memories. Poor thing. I’m glad Dana was so supportive, though I kinda wonder why Shane wasn’t moreso. Oh well. And as toward me being Yoda, yeah right. I’m thinking you could teach me a thing or five about writing, so hush. This is great, can’t wait to read more.
hey! i love this story, its so cute & funny! i totally agree that ED & LH played the relationship soooo well on the show & that is what made it so interesting. looking forward to the next post :)
