Alice´s apartment- a year ago

Someone knocked at Alice´s door. It was a tall red headed woman. Alice opened her door in surprise to see her there. It was Lara, Dana´s girlfriend, or not so much girlfriend anymore. She stood there with a bag in her hand crying. „Lara? Lara, what´s wrong? Come in.“ Lara entered Alice´s apartment and looked around. „ She told me to leave her. Alice, she sent me away. Kicking me out. Sending me to Paris.“ Alice guided Lara to her sofa and they sat down. Lara cried onto Alice´s shoulder and hugged her. „Lara, ssshh, it´s okay I will talk to her. It´s okay.“ Alice kissed Lara on her forehead and held her tighter. „Alice why did she do that? Am I so bad? Why does she keep sending me away? Why does she always punish me for her mistakes?“ „Because she doesn´t know any better. She sent me away too. She is too scared of the unknown. She is scared to be loved, scared that anyone knows what´s going on inside of her. She left me because of this too. And because I was too clingy.“ Lara looked up at Alice and smiled. „Why did you let me in anyway? Am I not the girl who robbed you your girlfriend?“ Alice stoked absently through Lara´s hair. „Hhhhmmm hhm, you seem to be. But yet you are such a nice person. And the best of all. You are beautiful.“ Alice blushed deeply after realizing what she said. „I mean nice and cute. Uhhmmm…“ Lara laughed loud. „You think I am nice, cute and beautiful all at once? Wow, I feel honored.“ They just lay there for a while quietly when Lara bit her lip and sat up and faced Alice. „Do you remember 6 months ago when you visited me at the PLANET? You were totally high. And almost fell into the vegetables I just finished cutting. I had to catch you and hold you.“ Alice thought for a moment and nodded „I do. And you said your sorry too. Why did you say that? I never got to ask you about that after that little drug induced incident.“ looking anywhere but Alice Lara bit her lip „Because I already fell in love with someone else.“ Shocked Alice sat up facing Lara „YOU WHAT?!?!!? WHO?!?!“ This time Lara looked at Alice, still biting her lip and whispered. „Yo… Yolanda Watts. Yes Yolanda is her name.“ „I could swear I heard that name before.“ Alice looked at Lara thinking not realizing that the redheaded woman in front of her was watching her every move. Before Alice could say anything more Lara kissed her. And Alice kissed back.

Lara´s apartment- Present Day

„We´ve never been here before, Lara.“ Alice said. Lara was somewhere in the kitchen looking for ingredients for her own Spaghetti recipe. „Well, there is always a first. Do me a favour and just sit down and don´t come into the kitchen.“ She wanted this to be a surprise for Alice, as she never coked for her. Lara shrieked when she felt arms wrap around her waist. „ALICE!!! I´ve told you to stay in the living room.“ Alice smirked „Wrong you told me to sit down and don´t come into the kitchen. Which I already was. Now all I can do is sit down. Oh well, for a chef you got a rather small kitchen. Alice said looking around. She kissed Lara´s neck and stroked her tummy with the hand that was under Lara´s shirt. „Do you give cooking lessons?“ Lara turned around and smiled at Alice and kissed her. „I‘ve only ever had one student. That would be you.“ Alice smiled against Lara´s lip´s. „I feel special. Show me something easy. Uhhmm like how to boil water.“ They started to laugh and Lara showed Alice how to cook. While they were eating someone knocked at Lara´s door. „Lara, stay here I´ll answer it. Are we in Timbuktu or Nepal?“ Alice said and walked to the door and opened it. She stopped smiling immediately and looked shocked at the person standing in front of her. Lara came a few seconds later to see what was going on. She looked shocked and surprised at the person standing in her door way and couldn´t say anything for a few seconds, then looked again at the person still standing there. „Gabby, what are you doing here?“ Alice finally asked.
