Once they’d arrived at Sandy’s cabin, the blonde had leaned in for a lingering kiss. She’d whispered, “I really care for you, Lara. Please give me a chance to show you how much.” With a smile, she’d continued, “Our picnic was wonderful—I hope we get a chance to do it again, but without the interruptions next time.” And with a wink, she stepped into her cabin, leaving Lara alone to walk the short distance to her own cabin.
“I’d say that bowl is rinsed out pretty thoroughly.” Alex’s voice stirred Lara from her reverie.
“What?” Lara’s vision refocused and she looked down to find water cascading over the bowl’s side. “Oh, for fuck’s sake!” With a growl of frustration she turned off the water and sloshed some of the water out of the bowl. As she picked it up to take it back to the boiling pot, Alex put a tentative hand on her arm.
“Hold up, chick. You’re wound tighter than a drum. What’s going on Lara?” Alex peered at her friend. “You didn’t have a fight with Sandy did you?”
Lara’s shoulders sagged. “Julie,” she called, “Can you take care of the grits, please?” After she handed the bowl of water to the assistant she looked at her watch and turned back to Alex. “Mind if we talk over a cup of coffee?”
Ten minutes later, Alex sat back in her chair with a bemused expression. “Wow.”
Lara waited a few seconds for Alex to continue, but when it was apparent that the monosyllabic response was complete, she rolled her eyes. “Really? That’s all you got for me?”
Alex shook her head. “I’m not sure what to say. It’s all so…” her voice trailed off.
“Fucked up?” Lara finished helpfully as she lifted her mug to her lips.
Alex shook her head, “Romantic.”
Lara nearly choked on her coffee. “What? Have you listened to anything I’ve said? What part of this is romantic?”
Alex raised her eyebrows, “Oh come on, Lara. This is the same woman you told me about five months ago…the one you’ve been hung up on for over a year. And here she is…fallen into your lap, so to speak.” She giggled, “I mean except that it was you who fell in the river, wound up in a wet shirt, and then flashed her in the bathroom. You’ve GOT to think that’s romantic!”

Awwright, update! Wait, who are you and how do you know my name? haha, just kidding. Good to read from you again! I happened to check here tonight and you happened to have posted so basically, we rule. Naw, all the other commenters/readers do too, I like reading what everyone has to say about this sweet fic. Aw, three weeks? Dang! But thanks for the heads-up, and I hope work is the good kind of busy. OK, love the chappy. Particularly the pronomial ambiguity we find in the last sentences. Does the possessive ‘her’ as in ‘her eyes’ index Papi or Alice? Is the ‘she’ as in ‘she froze’ a cohesive tie to dear Alice, or to that sneaky Papi? Now, the lexical item ‘yo’ leans towards Papi but…I don’t know for sure and I LOVE it. just thought I’d geek out and ask, because it makes for quite the cliff-hanger. Your grits inclusion was well-researched, too. Of course Lara would know all that;) And I can’t get over how clever the setting of adult summer camp is, seeing as how we are in the throes of fun-in-the-sun season. Looking forward to seeing how Lace misunderstandings continue to churn up the tension. Keep up the delicious-ocity and see you next post!
Ah, Lara. How I’ve missed Miss Perkins throughout season 4. I have a feeling the hilarity of Alice and Lara in sumo costumes won’t be all fun and games. Please, please, please post soon.
Hey Gold! Sorry I’m so late reading this chapter, but I just had to post to say I loved it as usual. Alice’s bleary-eyed, cranky wake up was hilarious… I could picture her doing exactly that on the show (I’m loving the Shane-Alice interactions in this story, by the way – you’ve really captured their chemistry). I’m excited to see what happens with the sumo wrestling in the next chapter – anything that involves full body contact (setting aside the layers of foam in the sumo costumes, of course!) between Lara and Alice is definitely ok in my books. :) And, I too enjoyed the grits research – I now have a strange desire to try some! Anyway, thanks for another great update!
Well I guess its true, th more you wait the better it gets. Loved the update but wish you would update more often. I miss Lara terribly so I love your story. Oh and can Sandy just go away please? ^_^
Despite Alex saying they used bird species to group the campers, I *still* read that as “Powerpuff” at first. I guess Alice’s hairdo could classify her as Bubbles… Right, anyway. Sumo wrestling! That is gonna be a hoot. I hope they don’t get too serious (although, I’d *love* to see Bette wallop Jenny). And after that, Al and Lara have a whole week, right? That’s plenty of time. The three weeks between chapters is gonna seem like forever, though. Ah well, I’ll be waiting. Brilliant as usual, Gold. Thanks for the post.
And by “soon” I’m holding you to three weeks. “At least three weeks” isn’t much help – Anything more and I’m going to have major withdrawal issues. But, that’s for another time. Tight now it’s hours later, and this chapter, ‘filler’ as you may call it to be, is still a great read.
I can’t explain how happy I was to see this update. I absolutely looooove this story, you’re doing an excellent job. Can’t wait for the next installment.
hey!! i read this chapter a copple of dasy before, but there was no time, to leave a comment till now. i really enjoyed this chapter. the end is a perfect cliffhanger and make me wish that i could read moore at this moment. so i hope the next two weeks will pass fast ;-)hug, naren
