Resolutions- Chapter 7
“Other than being pissed about waking up at the crack of dawn, I’m good. Why do you ask?”
“No reason really, except that you shut down last night after seeing Lara.”
Lara. Alice sagged as the memories of the previous night washed over her. “So, it wasn’t a dream?” She asked while the vision of Lara kissing the blonde bike instructor replayed vividly in her mind.
“No, while the little saga of our spying on Lara and Sandy seemed like a nightmare, it was, in truth, an embarrassing reality,” A hint of a rueful smile played at the corner of Shane’s lips. “By the way, I never thanked you for shoving me through the bushes to kick start the party.” She peered closely at Alice. “But back to you. How are you doing with all this? You seemed to toss and turn an awful lot last night.”
Alice sighed. In fact she had only drifted to sleep an hour before sunrise. The remainder of the night she’d spent struggling to temper the unsettled feelings that were raging at the sudden re-entry of Lara to her life.
“I’m okay, I guess,” she lied.
Shane arched an eyebrow. “You’re lying.”
“No. I’m totally good. Really.” Alice tried to reassure herself as much as she was trying to staunch the flow of concern from Shane. Shane had been the one person she’d confided in just after she and Lara had their fling, so she knew that Shane had watched their interaction the previous evening with a discerning eye. “I was just surprised to see her after all this time, you know?”
Shane nodded. “She looks good.”
Alice quickly agreed, “She does, doesn’t she?”
Shane grinned triumphantly.
“Oh go screw yourself, Yoda” Alice snarked. “Okay, so I’m a little off balance, but I can deal. Besides, it’s obvious that Lara’s moved on.”
“You think?”
“What would you call the little bump and grind we interrupted last night?” Alice wrinkled her nose at the recollection.
“I don’t know. She was pretty focused on you after our…reunion.”
Alice perked up. “You think?”
Before Shane could answer, Tina and Bette entered the bedroom. “Come on guys, get a move on. Breakfast is in fifteen minutes.”

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
