Bringing her head back on level with Alice’s, Lara looked down at her and her face expressed a sincerity that startled the blonde. “Alice, I meant everything I said to you last night. I’ve missed you so much,” Lara whispered hoarsely before she brought their mouths together again fervently.
Suddenly, Alice felt an unpleasant nervousness flutter through her as her old feelings of vulnerability and terror crept through her. Lara had just told her exactly what she had hoped to hear; but, what could happen between them now? How could she be certain that she wouldn’t leave again? After all, Lara lived in New York, and Alice couldn’t just forget the fact that she had left before with very little warning. Although she was in a better emotional place now than she was seven months ago, Alice still didn’t think she could handle watching Lara leave yet again.
Plus, there was Tasha. Alice felt a jolt of guilt as she thought about her girlfriend, who would be devastated to know that Alice was currently making out with an old flame. Tasha was so trusting and had been so kind to her when she was going through a difficult time; Alice knew she owed her more than this.
With a groan, she abruptly pulled away from Lara and stood up. Lara looked up at her confusedly, and then stood to face her.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, disappointment written all over her features. Seeing how forlorn and sad she looked, Alice had to use all her willpower to resist the urge to run straight back into her arms. Instead, she took a step backward to create some physical distance between them.
“I’m sorry Lara,” she said softly. “This isn’t right. I can’t do this to Tasha. And, you’re going back to New York in a few days, so this can’t go anywhere anyway…” she trailed off, uncertain how to continue.
Lara’s eyes burnt with unshed tears as Alice’s words hit her forcefully. She felt like such a fool for ever having revealed her feelings to Alice, especially since it was now clear that the blonde had never felt the same way about her. Anger welled inside of her, and she felt a sudden urge to bolt from the room, get on a plane, and head back to New York.
“I should go,” Alice said, turning to leave.
“No; you stay,” Lara said with an angry edge in her voice. “You’re the best man, after all.” With a final parting gaze that revealed her sadness and frustration, Lara walked hastily out of the room, leaving Alice standing behind, feeling confused and utterly unsure about whether she had just done the right thing.

great update, im sure tasha is a nice person but seems like alice n lara really should be 2gether.
wow blue you keep out doing yourself which is just great! I agree with laura1888 Tasha seems nice and like alice said shes the “safe one” and safe is boring… lol so hooray for the laceness btw that last part was hot hot hot keep it coming! plz post soon :)
Yay, swipe away with any lines, it makes me feel part of the process, thanks;) And don’t think for one minute that your updates are in any way ‘boring’;) This was a H.O.T. one, you must be given a prize for One Who Knows How To Leave Us Hanging. Yay for the idea of exploring some potential reasons why Lara might be doing the bolting thing, you are so good at giving us really believable character insights and development. And hellooo, our two heroes are so obviously smitten–gah! and they don’t know what to do with it, double gah!! Love it. As others have commented, Tasha seems great but…hopefully she’s also smart enough to realize that Alice’s mental checkist? Very telling…! Good luck with work stuff and post as soon as you can.
Ahh! You’re back and I couldn’t be happier. Great work as usual. Can’t wait for the next installment.
This is amazing. Just three(!) chapters in and I’m completely enthralled, involved, and… wow. This is great. Keep up the consistent postings– er, good work. And please let Lara stick around long enough to shake off the “runner” label. Cheers.
Oh man..why does a nice/safe person always get left out in the cold..lol. Its unfair for an innocent party to get hurt but i guess a story needs some drama..*sigh* Be gentle on Tasha so Lace can be merry on their way :)Thanks!
AHHH!! What was Alice thinking!? This situation totally sucks…no one can ever get anywhere because they’re both thinking too much into things. I mean, Alice needs to just drop Tasha because she obviously wants and loves Lara. Lara…she’s so sweet and I feel for her soo much and I wish they could get it together. Sigh..but love is never ever that simple. I can’t wait to see what happens between them in S4 IM PUMPED! Anyways, i can’t wait to see what happens next between these two. You’re fabulous and I love this fic! Update soon love! :)
Fuck a Duck! What a chapter! Thank you so much! I’d love to read more about lara’s background!
One step closer, I hope. Lara is better for Alice then Tasha. Im curious to see what happens next.
god I love this when will they just sit down and talk about how they feel and I feel that there is still so much to come from this story please post soon great update I love it
man…they were so close…dang!! lol i loved the beginning. talking about the smokers and then “Damn, stil even” had me laughing for a while there! great job as always, post more soon!
Alice has already made up her mind which girl to choose. I mean, to only look at the pros and cons of Tasha vs. Lara says enough. ;) I didn’t see that kiss coming. But yeah, attraction like that can’t be denied. You can try to hide it, but it’s pretty difficult. Especially when the other person is feeling the same way. I don’t think Alice wants to be deliberately unfaithful to Tasha. She’ll proabbly be torn between these two women for a while. I wonder what she will do next…more precise, how and when will she dump Tasha? ;)
i’ve only Just discovered your story a few days ago!in the moment alice & lara are advancing to my favourite couple.the two of them simply belong together.i hope that in the series it will actually come to that.i enjoy your story & hope to read more soon.my friends at work wonder why i’m lounging in front of my screen on my brake reading on this site. lol.
Now it’s through the haze of jet lag that I’ll comment….as you can see, I am TOTALLY addicted, as I feel it compulsory to log on and check to see if you’ve updated! (besides, there’s only SO much fun you can have at Oktoberfest, before you run the risk of spending a night in jail…..we stopped full shy of that!)….enough about that….GREAT update! I have to say, I do love the way you write the characters. Lara is so quick to avoid confrontations, and Alice is so analytical about everything (LOL at her final “check for Lara”). Really true to what we’d expect based on the character development from TLW. Your insight and spin on the relationship is really a delight (read here “IC, it’s not too late to change your mind and bring Lara back late season!!!”). And finally….Alice in the parking lot with the mini on the lawn….sounds like something you’ve either done or experienced! LOL….we have a restaurant nearby that has a perfect lawn for a mini….and one always seems to find it on Saturday night! Yet another benefit to the teensy things. Thanks for the post….good luck with work and looking forward to reading more!
Hey mini, how are ya?Great update, simply fantastic and I’m running up the walls for more at the moment. I’m hooked. Lace ship really is the place to be. Post soon!
