Helena saw it though and grinned, saying invitingly, "Come on, then. Tell me what else is bothering you."
The guitarist said in a quiet voice, "Dana. She was so excited about the article, and I could tell she was proud of me, y’know?"
Helena nodded slightly, waiting for Alice to elaborate, though she thought she knew where Alice was headed.
Softly, Alice added, "But she looked sad or something. And I didn’t place it at first, I thought maybe the chili was too much for her. But it was like she realized that one of us getting more famous meant that maybe her hand would be forced; like maybe she’d have to man
up and make a decision. And I don’t like that, Hel. It scares the fuck out of me because I know if I could just wait, and make her comfortable enough, she’d come out sooner or later. But this fame stuff means someone might do it for her. Like, some reporter might see us together or a fan, or whoever, just somebody. And I’m so afraid she’s going to back away from me. Take the easy way out with her closet status intact."
After Alice’s strained admission, Helena sat quietly, pondering her friend’s words. In actuality, some part of her feared that Alice’s assessment was correct.
The last few weeks had given her a great fondness for Dana; not just as Alice’s girlfriend, but as a valued new friend. Still, it didn’t lessen Helena’s misgivings regarding Dana’s ever coming to terms with her sexuality. She wasn’t minimizing Dana’s fears. She knew that the tennis player could only come out when she realized that it was totally her decision and totally her choice. Additionally, Dana had to realize that she would never be truly happy until she was out. It had to be done on her terms or she could grow to resent the person that pushed her.
Again, Helena wished she had more comforting words for her dearest friend in the world. Instead, she said carefully, "Alice, I don’t know what to say."
Alice looked crestfallen and Helena pressed on, murmuring encouragingly, "I know for a fact, though I’ve never heard her say it, that Dana is in love with you. I can tell that she adores you. It’s sickening, in fact."

Frip so loved that Helena is a great friend to Al, and seeing that Al took the advice she was given. Now we see the Tina is in the picture and seems to have noticed how Dana reacted to Dana talking about Al, but didnt say a word. I love how Al an Dana are so corny that is it sweet at the same time…great chapter Frip.
Just as I was getting off line, I decided to check the page and come to find out who put up a new post. Well I guess I found out sooner than I thought. lol. I’m glad that Helena was there for Alice when she needed a friend. OOOhhhh, Miss Tina Kennard comes into the picture. I can kind of think of where this is going. I think. lol Dana and Alice are so cute together. I hope that the 3 days will go smoothingly for the two ladies, even though they won’t be together because of the different occasions. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh yeah, thanks for enjoy my last chapter!!!! PPS.
FANTASTASTIC!!! will there be some drama coming up? hmm i hope so i love it lol man i love this story keep up the good work!!! :)
I told Akiracolorblind that it would be an earlier night but instead I was catching up on some old blogs regarding the show. Again, at 3 am your post appeared. What could I say other than I must read it. Thank you for mentioning Crossroads by Goldrun15. I will get to it soon. Btw, I also have friends who think orange juice and ketchup are fruit and vegetables. I have a chuckle from it. I think as you get older, you will think differently. Anyway back to your story. In the last chapter, I also noticed the red head but I did not want to think, even an inkling, that she was into culinary. If so, bring her on. I believe A & D’s deep love for each other would help them to endure all hurdles coming their way. From the conversation with H, A’s fear was totally legitimate. There would be the Fairbanks and the whole tennis world that they had to deal with. I look forward to seeing how things will unfold. “Let him who desires peace prepare for war,” that’s deep and true. I also like the introduction of TK. Wow, another incredibly good chapter. I totally agreed with the effect they had on each other. I guess being in love, one could conquer all. Yes, for you, carte blanche will always stand. Please do not ever second guess your writing ability. If MT said you are good, YOU ARE GOOD, period. One last thing, you can always bring back the hand washing deleted scene in another chapter. I will love to read that. Thanks again for your post.
yeah there is a huge time difference between where I live and where you live. I’m guessing your from the USA? or not somewhere in the west? We have like a ten hour difference. I just had dinner with my friends so idk what you’d be doing at this hour. I’m so glad that I stopped to check who has posted, this is another great chapter from you. I just love happy Danish. It makes me smile all the time. I hope they’ll get though without seeing each other for two days lol. Thanks for the post. I’m looking forward to the next one.:)
