“Are you really here?” Alice asked, almost to herself.
Lara smiled slightly at Alice’s comment. “Yes, I’m really here,” she replied with a soft laugh. “And I’m not going anywhere.”
“What do you mean?” Alice asked cautiously. Now that the reality of the situation was gradually dawning on her, she felt her old nervousness creeping through her. All of a sudden, she couldn’t seem to remember what she had planned to say to Lara if she ever had the chance to see her again. She felt utterly tongue-tied.
Lara’s grin widened, and she tucked her hair behind her ear nervously. “I mean, I just quit my job in New York, Alice. That’s why I disappeared for most of the reception; I was using Helena’s phone to make a few calls to people in Manhattan. But, with the time difference, I had to wait until my boss got to the restaurant to start the prep work for the day to speak to him. God, I’m going to owe Helena a fortune when her phone bill comes through,” she added with a laugh. Taking another step closer to Alice, her face grew serious again. “Alice, I’m moving back to Los Angeles – for good. Kit offered me my old job at The Planet again tonight, and I accepted.”
Alice’s mind reeled as she slowly began to process all the information Lara had just revealed. Feeling completely dumbstruck, she replied without thinking. “Why would you want to move back here?”
Seeing Lara’s face darken faintly in response, Alice winced and felt a sudden urge to slap herself in the head. “Oh god, I’m sorry, Lara,” she apologised, moving closer to her. “I so did not mean that the way it sounded.” She bit her bottom lip habitually as she tried to figure out what to say next. She just couldn’t believe that what Lara had just told her was true; it fitted too perfectly with what she had been hoping to hear. There had to be some kind of catch.
“It’s ok, Alice,” Lara replied understandingly, reading the confusion on Alice’s face. “Things have been so back and forth between us over the past few days – well, the past few months, I guess – that I don’t expect you to take all this in at once. In fact, I don’t expect you to accept any of this – not tonight, at least. I just wanted to do something that would prove to you, once and for all, that I’m not planning on going anywhere. We’ve wasted so much time running away from each other, Alice. And, I know that it might take time for you to trust me again, but I promise to make you happy, if you let me.” Lara paused as her voice broke under the weight of her feelings. “I want to be with you,” she continued with renewed strength. “So much that it physically hurts. I’ve spent the last seven months regretting leaving you, and I can’t stand the thought of spending another minute feeling that same regret.”

Oh not cheesy at all..thank god they finally let their feelings known b4 someone burst..being caught making out.. priceless :) Nice update!
Just the right tone…and just the right beats. They should take it slow, but I’ll bet they can’t take it as slow as they think they should. Maybe it’s time to stop thinking….PPS
Hey! What gives? I’ve got wine, I’ve got crackers….but there’s no cheese to be found! Instead, I’ve got this goofy grin plastered across my face. Sorry Min…you haven’t posted yet, and you gave me permission to rip you off….so….Sexcellent update!! and just the right touch of chastity to make it all downright painful for everyone! :)good job, blue! Looking forward to what fate has in store for our girls!
Darn you Goldrun, you totally beat me to the wine, crackers and cheese comment idea, LMAO! Clearly, great Bluemini Fans think alike. Not like we were totally awaiting this update or anything, noooheewww. Bluemini, if that was cheese, bring it ON. Like give me a lactose overdose. Nothing is cuter than Lace getting caught by the night janitor, that was priceless. And right, Lara, first of all, points for you for saying ‘funny business’ and uhm, yeah, like you’re gonna be able to not grope Alice tonight. Because you know you want to. Mwhwhwhaaa. Oh. Nice. I am talking to fanfic characters, is there a 12-step program for fanfic addicts like me? I am also soo jazzed that you are not ending this great story with this chappy. You characterize these two so damn well and I am really looking forward to seeing how you shape their journey together. Please update as soon as you can, happy happy joy joy!
I have a very fuzzy, warm feeling in my chest now because of your wonderful fic. I love it when everything seems to sort itself out and they get all lovey. It’s so cute. You did really, really well mini and I’m keenly waiting for your next chapter.
haha. I was doing my ap lang essay which is due tmr but i juz cant resist the urge to read ur fic. geezz. ur gd……
You stay right there in Denialville and keep writing this wonderful story! ;) This was one sweet update. This story makes me want to see Lace on the show. And all the other new developments too, I like the interaction of the gang in your story. Are you sure that there will be no funny business going on between the two of them at Alice’s.I know…they should take it slow at first… *pouting like a small child who didn’t get his ice cream*
Ha! That was great!
Taking it slow, huh? Riiight. Something tells me “all the time in the world” will be reduced to less than 36 hours. And when it does happen, let’s hope they aren’t interrupted. Great chapter, blue. Cheers!
totaly cuuuuute! post more soon!
i have finally caught up. i was a few chapters behind. but it made it fun to be able to read them all in a row. now you just need to hurry up with the next one. great story. they are really cute. i am glad they sorted it out.
I am just in love with your version of Lara. Why can’t the PTB behind the show see the same potential in the character that you’ve managed to convey in your writing? Great post, blue.
Hello bluemini. I read your first post before a trip and returned to six more wonderfully textured chapters. Thank you for writing.
I love it and the fact that they are taking thngs slow for now is great please post soon great update
