It was gratifying and wholly new to the tennis player. Dana
pretty much went along for the ride and didn’t understand why her best
friend wasn’t right there, laughing along with her. Some pretty amazing
things were happening in Dana’s career and all Alice did was poke fun.
Leaving the CAC, Dana had been distracted replaying Tina’s
strange departure in her head. Tonya was saying something about them
having a nightcap at a club with people Dana should get to know. Dana
was exhausted and just wanted to get home.
A voice behind them penetrated her thoughts, “They could be important people for you to know Dana” Alice mimicked Tonya.
Tonya had stopped to firm up their plans and hadn’t heard hear
her. Dana halted and turned squarely back at Alice. She stopped her
with a look that translated loosely too: “What the ***** is your
problem?”
Not waiting to find out, Dana brushed past her and joined Tonya’s
group. Hooking her arm in Tonya’s, she flashed the group her most
deadly smile.
Several hours later, Dana’s doorbell startled her. Struggling to
open her eyes, she saw that it was 4am. A feeling of anxiety woke her
fully as she went to answer the bell.
She found Alice at her door, still wearing her dress from Provocations. She seemed upset.
“Hi.” She’d said, “I have to talk.”
”What’s going on? It’s 4am, are you okay?”
“You can’t marry Tonya.” Alice whispered.
Dana barely registered Tonya’s voice from inside. She automatically assured her she was fine.
Looking back at Alice, Dana was torn. She responded both to the
obvious pain Alice was in and her own anger at Alice’s continued
disregard for her judgment.
”What are you talking about? Why?”
“Because.”
“Because, why?” Dana asked again. She watched Alice’s struggle.
“Because,” she’d barely breathed.
And then, Dana didn’t know whether to *****, run or go blind. Alice was kissing her.
It was over in a moment and Alice looked, if possible, even more
vulnerable as her eyes darted between Dana’s and the ground.
All Dana would remember of that moment was Alice standing in
front of her looking so beautiful and the racing of her own heart as
she stepped forward to kiss her back.
Where Alice’s kiss had been an admission, Dana’s response was a
declaration. An immediate, emphatic “Yes.” Yes to whatever this
moment meant.

“I’m no Lady-Gray.” Lady-Gray/layla-gray, are we sure we’re not the same person. We have asked this before you know.If you do start posting under a different name, please, I’m begging please let me know, so I don’t miss any of you wonderful stories. That’s with or with out steamy sex.By the way I did the same thing with my name and email. So when I googled my own name sure enough there were my stories. Whats even funnier is my name is Deb, so I guess if anyone googles my email the cat is out of the bag. LOL
Very good. I loved the Dana/Bette scene.
Oh how I look forward to your updates. I love this story. And so that my family and friends don’t find out about my “dirty” secret of reading L Word fanfics and commenting on them, I changed my user name to something totally unidentifiable to me. LOL!
I also loved how you filled in the gap left by the show. I was also happy to see Bette having meaningful interaction with Dana. Sometimes Bette seems so removed from the other characters.
I’m getting ready to read the story, but I had to comment now because I loved your Author’s Notes. Don’t worry – you are not the only one who spends WAY too much time reading and writing TLW fanfiction. I’m not very keen on most of my friends knowing about my most recent obsession either. ;-)
Fist off I just wanted to say that this was the best Damn Author’s Note I’ve ever read! Secondly I just wanted to alert you that putting you new alias in the Author’s note might still make it accessible to those you don’t want to see it so you may want to change it. Third if you do change it let me know because I’m looking forward to reading that filthy story.But seriously I loved this chapter you write the all of the character so well. I also really liked the flash back because it gave a lot of in site into what happened. Thanks!
I was laughing already at the author’s note. Let’s hope your mother’s more Lenore than Sharon, then . . . (though, on the other hand, no ‘excessive use of the verb “thrust” . . ‘ – I’m thankful for that at least!) I’m off to google ‘Capesquad’ now too. The flashbacks and Dana/Bette were great. Love the way you write.
I love it and I think what bette said to dana is mostly right about alice but can’t wait to see what happens next please post soon
Ask anyone – I am officially the hater of season 2, I think it’s pretty weak after season 1. Very badly written and awkwardly rushed. You really know where you’re going and you’re doing great. You don’t have to promise me anything accessories and / or food. I’m with you reading this all the way :)
1. Love the Bette and Dana’s scene, I like this side of Bette and Dana feeling a little out of place after the breakup was so in character.2. Dana continuing with Tonya after the 4am kiss was well explained, thanks for fill in the gap left by the show.3. I’ll be waiting for that flithy fic under “the artist formerly known as capesquad” with unrestrain glee.
hey capesquad – great job. I love this line – “Where Alice’s kiss had been an admission, Dana’s response was a declaration”. Its so true. Great update. Post soon.
