Alice had kept her eyes trained anywhere but on Dana’s and throughout the whole speech her voice had gotten gentler and tinier and Dana could see how nervous she was.
Smiling, Dana couldn’t begin to describe the way Alice’s words touched her. It was affirmation that they both felt so strongly for one another that they were willing to overcome things that gave them pause. Leaning forward, she stroked the side of Alice’s face lovingly. She was cognizant of the fact that it had taken Alice quite a lot to say as much as she had. Though the musician’s emotions were often written clearly on her face, getting her to give voice to them was another matter. That much Dana had learned already.
When Alice turned her brown eyes back to Dana, they were filled with such shyness and trepidation that Dana felt the tears that had been threatening to spill over begin to fall. Laughing, she swiped at them and muttered, "What is this? I don’t even cry at like, Beaches. Or Steel Magnolias."
Alice leaned her forhead against Dana’s and she smiled when she heard the tennis player sigh, saying, "You must be something special, Al."
Alice felt herself loosening noticeably with the lifted weight of her confession. Sliding her arms around the tennis player, she sighed herself when she felt Dana returning the embrace emphatically.
—————–
A few minutes later, both girls were considerably less somber and Alice had convinced Dana to pull into a drive-thru for some fast food.
Dana was ever so pleased when Alice pretended not to notice that for the first minute after their draining, but inspiring conversation, she kept swiping at the tears that were still falling occasionally.
They ate in companionable silence for a few minutes when Alice, her mouth still partially full, said thoughtfully, "Operation Hellcat Picasso begins tomorrow at lunch, Dane. You in?"
Dana watched Alice speak in mild disgust before she raised her eyebrows and repeated sardonically, "Hellcat Picasso?"
Alice shrugged, saying defensively, "What? I had very little time."
Dana said soothingly, "Right. Of course. Yeah, though. I’m totally in. There’s gonna be some fireworks."
Alice scoffed and said, "There better be. Those two would be so hot together it’s ridiculous. They’d be like, the lesbian version of- of- some really hot power couple."

(Love it)3 These 2 are absolutely adorable. I was so happy to see them talking about their issues. Let the game begins, Operation Hellcat Picasso! I hope Alice wouldn’t get a cold and ruined her concert. From now on, A would not be allowed to fall asleep in the living room without a blanket or D by her side. And that is an order (just joking). fripster, btw I will not be able to comment if you post again at 3am EST. I need to get up at 8 tomorrow. So pardon me if I skip one. Until next time, have fun.
You are posting faster than I can comment. I love it!! This chapter really emphasized that no matter how much more “experience” Alice has, they both have very little real relationship experience. Loved the wake-up trick, Operation Hellcat Picasso, etc, etc… You do an amazing job balancing the drama parts with the sweet and funny.
so youre totally spoiling us (me) with such frequent posting…not like im complaining or anything, i absolutely adore this story. but im just hoping that u keep up the way u have been b/c im so addicted.
Hey frip you sure did post super fast,,LOL,,,but I liked that. I am really like this Dana and Al, plus adding Helena in as Als best bud. and now let the fun begin with getting Helena and Bette together….Great chapter frip.
These two women are soooooo adorable!!!! I really wish that Dana was still on the show. Anyways, is Alice getting sick??? Let’s hope not, but then Nurse Dana will be at the rescue. I can’t wait to see what will happen when Alice and Dana try to hook Helena up with Bette. This should be very, very interesting…PPS
You are a Danish writing genius!! I loved the talk they had in the car and how each one is starting to open up about how they are feeling. Alice’s speech was very heartfelt. I loved the wake up trick Dana used on Alice, how funny. I hope Alice doesn’t get too sick with the show coming up and all. Keep up the good work and the quick posts.
Seriously, child. Do you EVER sleep??? I feel like a tard only doing one post every week or two, sheesh. That and the fact that I barely ever manage to leave comments for you tells me that I need to quit working/studying so much and seek out a way to pay bills by fanfic. This chapter was adorable sweet. I love the way you write these two their relationship is so stable and mutually loving despite both of them having uncertainties. And since you don’t like it when I say your story is better than mine, I’ll refrain and leave it with nothing more than “this is freaking awesome.”
awesome. both posts were excellent. i love the super quick posting. i hope i wake up tomorrow to find another. no pressure. they are so cute. and thanks for not completely being scared of my danish stalking. its only a mild case, really, i swear. have a good one.
yay! you posted again! I love the fact that their talking, and of course the hellcat picasso operation sounds great.:)
