Provocations Linger- Chapter Five (revisited and revised)
“ALICE and DANA are….” Kit pulled up a chair and sat down. “For real?” Kit turned to Shane for confirmation. Shane started laughing.
“Don’t look at me. I honestly don’t know, but they’ve both been giving off a vibe lately.”
“We all seem to be thinking the same thing,” Bette agreed.
“They’re fucking and they have called us all here to make the announcement,” Jenny concluded, a devilish look coming over her face.
“We should totally mess with them!” she giggled.
This suggestion was absorbed. Looks were exchanged.
“What did you have in mind?” Bette smiled.
“We make our own announcements! Completely steal their thunder.
Tina laughed. “I know, you and Shane can announce you’ve fallen in love while living together.”
Bette nodded eagerly, smacking Shane’s arm,
“You could thank them for suggesting we all hang out tonight because you and Jenny have something you’ve wanted to share!”
Shane cracked up laughing. “Alice would be so pissed!”
“That would totally steal her thunder all right,” Bette smirked.
“How about you guys?” Jenny prodded Bette and Tina.
“I know! Tell them you got back together!” she squealed. Shane shot her a warning look.
Bette and Tina both looked momentarily stricken.
“I think your announcement will be enough,” Tina answered firmly but smiling.
Bette nodded agreement, wanted to keep the atmosphere light.
A round of drinks and appetizers served as a welcome diversion. Over shrimp and beer the girls shared similar observations of Dana and Alice smitten.
**********************
“They’re here.” Kit alerted the table, nodding her head towards their friends out the window.
Alice and Dana stood outside the restaurant giving each other a pep talk and trying to calm the butterflies in their stomachs. Neither had expected to be so nervous!
Finally Alice headed toward the door. “Come on Dane, let’s not try to plan anything. We’ll just… tell them,” she smiled.
Dana nodded her agreement, proud to be walking in with Alice by her side. She reached down and took the blonde’s hand as they entered the Planet. Alice looked at their hands and back at Dana, a goofy grin appearing.
When Dana took Alice’s hand all thoughts the group had of teasing them vanished. Their family simply watched, feeling an unexpected joy as Dana and Alice joined them.

Glad to have you back! I really love this story.
Such a difficult conversation, when there’s differing recollections of what happened. thanks for posting
I remember the pages and pages of debate we had on TWOP over that supercharged word. Tempers flared, lines were crossed, people got bounced from the site for their inflammatory rhetoric. Rape. There, you said it, and I’m proud of you for going there. So many years later, can we cooly reflect on the passions of that night? Wow, what a way to end a season!!! Bette and Tina wrecked on the shores of infidelity! Season One was great, even with the Marcus Allenwood’s stupid girlfriend and Jenny’s mushroom trip. It was great, I tell you! You’re bringing it back. Thanks!
” The dominance of the act had aroused her and she had allowed herself to view it as sexual rather than controlling.” – interesting to finally see what was going through their minds at that time – wow
This was such a hard scene to watch in season 1 and it is still hard to remember it this far out. It brings up such uncomfortable feelings still. This conversation was great. Thanks for bringing this story back!
What an excellent chapter. The way you wrote about the rape scene was extraordinary. So complex, and so subjective. I’m really loving reading this story.
Wow this was a hard conversation. I, too, shuttered at the word ‘rape’. It is so hard, I remember at that time a lot of conversation going on around whether that was or was not rape. What I do know is that the conversation was hard in this chapter and will continue to be hard. You’ve got me hooked, amazing writing, and thank you!
This was the chapter that got me so hooked on your story in the first place. When Tina used the word rape, I remember thinking, What?! And then I went through the scene in my mind. You’ve written this so well, from both perspectives…I can’t wait for the rest of the conversation. Fantastic writing!! Thank you!!
I just have one question, you are going to finish it? I remember reading the first post and you left us hanging. please tell me we’re going to get a good ending
I think this story remains one of the most thoughtful and sensitive on the site. Glad you’re reposting.
that was the hardest scene to watch in season 1, so well done…the way you wrote about it brought back all those painful memories for them both but if they will survive that, they should be okay, right? i hope so :)
Awesome story and update. Thank you for posting. Excellent!
