Alice opened the door, letting herself into the hallway outside her
apartment. “Hey. I didn’t expect you tonight,” she murmured, looking at
the carpet.
“You have company,” Dana apologized, trying not to show her surprise.
“Alex is here,” Alice told her.
They looked at each other for a few moments, both embarrassed and not sure what to say to the other.
“I’m sorry, Alice. I know you’re dating her. I should call first now,”
Dana admitted, looking miserable. “I’m going to run, I’ll call you
tomorrow, okay?” Dana was already backing down the hall toward the
elevators.
Alice watched her back away, annoyed with herself for feeling guilty and annoyed with Dana for looking so hurt.
“I’m not ‘dating’ her Dana.” Alice began. Dana said nothing,
chewing her lip as the doors closed in front of her. “*****,” Alice
swore underneath her breath.
As the blonde returned to her apartment Alex greeted her at the door
with a glass of the wine she’d been opening. “You look less cheerful
than you did before you answered that door,” the architect observed
wryly. “Was that Dana?” She had to ask.
Alice flushed, embarrassed.
“Gawd, Alex, we must look so dysfunctional to you such ***** drama,”
Alice apologized, shaking her head. She hated not having an easy
rational to offer as to why her ex lover sometimes sleeps over.
“It’s okay. I came late to this party. How could you explain it
to me in a way I’d understand without spending all our dates talking
about your ex? ” Alex teased.
Alice smiled back gratefully and then grew serious. “I’m not sure even
then I could explain. I don’t know exactly what is going on with her.
with us,” she added honestly.
Alex sat down next to Alice on the couch and took her hand. “Alice, are you trying to warn me off pursuing something here?”
She waited for Alice to look at her. “I really care about you but I’m
not much interested in a romance if your heart is with Dana. I can be
your friend if that’s what we are, let’s not just ‘try’ something here.
Okay?”
Alice lifted the brunette’s hand to her mouth and kissed it. “You are
so ***** charming,” she told her date. “You’ve been wonderfully
gracious,” she continued, smiling at Alex sadly. She let her hand down
and leaned back on the couch. “I could use a friend right about now,”
she admitted finally.

This time I made super sure I logged in as myself before I post a comment lol. Very well done. A few thing that stood out for me :
– Alice believing that Dana is
angry at her really tugged at my heart
– The therapist visit made me laugh and
feel sad at the time.
– Dana goofing while attempting to be serious around was so in character.
– If Alice goes back to Dana, can I have Alex?
here is a report by detective starlai
1. cap is a computer idiot and layla is such a good friend, so layla posts the stories for cap everytime
2. cap is lazy, so she just asked layla to post it after she beta the story
3. cap and layla are living together for whatever reasons, so they use the same computer
4. cap and layla are actually the same person who suffer from multi personality disorder
conclusion: no matter what is the truth, they/she are/is excellent writer(s)!
You are my new favorite Danish writer–I’ve always read your posts on the msg boards and was really happy to see you post a story because you’ve always come across as wonderfully articulate…this story is great and I like how you are revealing the deeper layers and emotions to Dana. I know that I’ve at times found it hard to decipher Dana’s layers, but you do it so well. Keep up the great writing and post again soon!
Lol, starlai. I go with no.4
But I definatley agree with your conclusion! Cape, you’ve got it spot on with the characters! Who needs to watch S3!? I’ve resorted to reading The L word, now! Looking forward to your next chapter!
good job cape! or should i extend this to layla too?! lol… who is who now??
good report starlai.. anyway, don’t keep us waiting too long.. post soon cape / layla lol
I think that alice is playing off the fact that she thinks that dana might still been in love with her and dana is seeing a therapist because she is hiding her feelings for alice but at the same time that is what alice is doing without really knowing it but I do hope that they can find a way back to eachother where they belong I love this story plaese post soon
love how you show that Dana hides her feelings but then allows them to come out by shadowing them with other insights…interesting. Sorry I think I just confused myself..lol..anyway. It’s always good to have someone to help you sort things out and talk to…if only they could talk to each other. Hmm…we’ll just have to wait and see….loving it!!
I am still completely enjoing your story, but I have one question.
How can we be sure that layla_gray is indeed the real layla_gray? Could it be capesquad in disguise? Are there distinguishing features? I’m so confused! lol Please excuse my silliness. Keep up the good work!
Excellent report detective starlai
