I sighed, a little disconcerted about a pain in my chest. It must have been a result of all the coughing this morning. Fuck.
“Where?” Alice mumbled softly, her voice almost overshadowed by the rustling of the sheets. She must have been rolling over to catch some more sleep, exhausted even more then I first suspected. That of course left me with little choice but to let her get some more sleep. Alice had to be all there for the party tonight, because I suspect that it’s unlikely to end at a decent hour, or with any kind of sobriety.
“Go back to sleep Al, I’ll pick you up tonight.” I hung up. Al is dead to the world, which probably meant the Helena took the day off work. That left Shane, who was likely in class and Dana. Dana, now she may be free.
I hope she wasn’t teaching, or practising.
“Hi Bette.” The smile in her voice instantly brought an answering one to my face.
“I’m thinking about heading out for lunch, you available?”
“Sure. Do you want me to meet you?” I declined to offer, it’d be nice to hang out with her, listen to some music and just have some fun.
I jumped onto my bike, put on my helmet and speed off the Dana’s.
As I pulled up outside Dana’s, I noticed her sitting on the front porch waiting. She was always like that, ordered and ready to jump when asked. Sometimes I wished she would stop doing as people asked. That she would just try and make herself happy, to be more comfortable in her own skin.
“Hey Dane,” I waved, pulling off my helmet and smiling as wide as I could. Dana didn’t respond, she was just looking at my bike apprehensively. I had actually forgotten that she was afraid of my bike. She wasn’t just afraid, she was terrified and it was difficult to ride with her onboard.
Given that I had no desire to scare or, or risk either of our safety I tucked my helmet under my arm as I picked at the fingers of my gloves. Slowly relieving the leather from my skin, one at a time.
“How about we take your car?” I ask lightly, trying to put her at ease. She’d inevitably feel bad if she thought she was inconveniencing me, and that’s the last thing I wanted to see happen.
“I know you like Mexican, there’s a new Mexican place about 20 minute from here.” Dana suggested, surprising me. Last time we did this she was deferring to everyone else. It appears that during my absence she has started to gain some self confidence. Now, we just had to help her release what an amazing person, and musician that she really was.
“If you want Mexican. Th… there’s Italian. Chinese?” I think I spoke too soon, because the moment of confidence was all but erased by her backpedling. “It’s up to you really.”
I was about to respond when I was caught by a coughing fit. I thought I was going to cough up my lung for a moment. As quickly as it came, it went. “Mexican is fine.” I tell her quickly. I was hungry, and she was right.
Smiling slightly, Dana slid into the drivers seat of her car. “80′s?” She asked me, at my nod she slid a CD into the player and we started the bounce around to George Michael’s ‘Faith’. I can only wonder when Dana will have a little faith in herself. The look of joy on her face, and her playful countenance quickly erased those thoughts as we sung loudly and obnoxiously to 80′s pop classics.

Great Chapter!!! Thank you PPS So love Dana.
Yea, I’m sticking with it. In this chapter, Bette sounds like she is really sick and doesn’t want to admit it to herself. I haven’t read anything that says she smokes so it must be soemthing that she has picked up in her travels. Hopefully it won’t be life threatening but anything tropical or something from the middle east may be just that. Hope not. Post when you can.
Another great chapter. Poor Bette is sick but I get the feeling she’s been sick like this before. Looking forward to your next chapter.
Great narration but sad undertones as if something is looming. PPS.
Dearest Deean: As you are adding other elements to the characters you are making this story more interesting and with lots of possibilities. Bette obviously has a weird illness, which she confuses with the flu. Hmmm We love Dana overcoming her shyness and that she is a musician. -We really liked Dana in the show.- Alice numb responses are just priceless. Hahaha Bette certainly needs medical attention. It seems she is being obsessive about not letting her friends know that she is not feeling well. We think her friends would be more than willing to help, if she lets them to carry on. Thanks for this magnificent update, Deean. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Bette should really see a DR. If she is coughing a chest hurting.she shouldnot be diving, air bubble in her lungs. Dana a singer, sound good to me. thanks
wow im first Dana as a musician really…you know something i can see that but she does need to do something about that confidence.Bette needs a doc im sure of that and what happened to Alice i mean she was dead beyond the means of extreme.Loved the update cant wait for more.
Hello My Beautiful Dee… Ok… that is freaking HOT… Bette on a motorcycle… *THUD* OMG… so freaking sweet… I love how in-tuned with nature this Bette is… she really does seem like someone who values the beauties that the earth has to offer and her mind is a whirlwind of knowledge… it was so cute how she reacted to Alice being all sloshed… the idea of Dana as a singer is such a powerful one… it seems that art is a common thing amongst these friends… I’m still wondering what is wrong with Bette… its more then a flu… maybe these recent rumblings are a flu but there is something deeper… hmmmmm… the idea that Bette will travel and we will see how these ladies react and interact as she comes and goes is so neat… once again you have completely blown be away with your sheer talents and willingness to continue to move forward… much love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving cuzzie to the ever talented and lovely Eunichick and Newly crowned Cuzzie of T_Daze)
I hope that Bette gets to doctor very soon. Thanks for the update and can’t wait for more.
