Alice was kissing her back and it was amazing. It was scorching. It was intense!
And then it was over and Alice was running away. Dana watched her go, unable to react.
She leaned back on the door and followed Alice’s car out of sight, her brain numb.
She slid down the door and sat on her stoop. “Alice kissed me,”
she told herself. “She justkissed me.” Her eyes widened more with each
stunned blink.
It’s not that Dana had never entertained the idea of being with Alice. Of course she had, from the very beginning.
There had been several ‘touch and go’ moments along the way. A
shared gaze here, a lingering brush on the lips there, usually after a
night at milk or some adventure involving alcohol. But one or the other
had always backed off before they went too far to deny something
happened.
Dana had taken her cues from Alice and she’d always gotten the
same clear message; they were friends and they shouldn’t ***** it up by
sleeping together. She certainly didn’t want to do that. Alice was her
soul mate in every other way. ***** that up wasn’t an option.
Dana had sometimes wondered if their friendship was what made
them both so particular about prospective lovers. Consciously or
unconsciously, Dana measured everyone by Alice.
“Holy *****, Alice kissed me,” she told herself again.
NOT a lingering gaze or a touch This was not a moment you could
deny later. In a moment, Alice had changed everything and it both
terrified and electrified Dana.
She went inside long enough to throw on her running shoes and
garb. Sleep was clearly not an option, frankly nothing but a very long,
very hard run was. Dana escaped without waking Tonya and headed out
toward Laurel Canyon.
Dana’s memories of her run in the Canyon that morning
depressed her. How elated she’d felt; running the trails, thinking
about that kiss and what it meant.
She’d known she’d have to have a talk with Tonya soon but all
she’d wanted to do that morning was go find Alice. She figured she’d
catch up with her along with the rest of the gang at brunch at the
Planet.
No doubt they’d all be there to rehash the opening the night before, it seemed like there would be plenty to discuss.

“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.
