Work to Do Chapter 7
MILK-
Shane and Alice sat at the bar. It was just the two of them for the
evening. Shane had called Alice to catch up. She’d been worried about
her friend since Alice had left the Planet the day before, upset about
running off Dana with remarks about her therapist.
“This is amazing Al. So you and Dana are going into couple’s counseling, does that mean you are trying to get back together?”
“In one form or another,” Alice smiled shyly.
Shane beamed, giving her a ‘continue’ look.
“I doubt it would be romantically, Shane. That was such a fiasco the first time around,” she peeled at her beer label.
“I think Dana might give us another chance as lovers but honestly, I don’t believe our friendship could stand another round.”
Alice took a drink from her beer considering her words, “I love her.
I’m in love with her”, she acknowledged, “But I risked my friendship
with her once before and look where it got us. I lost her once Shane, I
know I can’t lose her again. It’s not worth it.”
Her eyes filled as she added, “I’m a train wreak when it comes to
relationships.” She looked around for the bartender, avoiding Shane’s
kind, sad expression.
Shane considered Alice’s statement.
“What about Dana?” she asked softly.
Alice snorted. “Dana should know better than anybody how fucked up I am
in a relationship. I can’t believe she wants to try again.”
“It wasn’t all fucked up Al.” Shane reminded her.
Alice stared at her, “No?”
“Anyway. We have a lot we need to say to each other and a lot of issues
to address. Seeing “Doctor Stella” seems like a safe place to start
trying to be friends again.”
“That’s your story, eh?” Shane raised a skeptical eyebrow.
“And I’m sticking to it,” insisted Alice.

Dana’s Condo
Dana was pacing. She was on hold, waiting to talk to her therapist
about Alice joining their session. As she waited her mind replayed the
scene in Alice’s kitchen last night. She was smiling when Stella
Rudnick said hello.
“Dr. Rudnick! Hi. This is Dana Fairbanks,” she added unnecessarily.
“Hi Dana,” the therapist greeted her warmly.
“Hi. I’m calling because I wondered if it would be okay if I brought someone with me this week?”

LOL Shane getting involved unwittingly was a joy to watch. My personal favorite scene in this chapter was Alice opening up to Stella and her little jokes. I love it that we’re getting some insights into Alice’s behaivour.
hahah ‘have fun watching grass grow’, loved that line! This is great stuff!! keep up the great work!
I love it. Each scene was great. Funny and poignant. And I would pay (more than my cable TV fee) to watch the scene with Alice and the shrink!
That was great!! I loved the conversation between Shane and Dana, both oblivious to what they said. But Awkward Alice definately stole my heart, with the shrink. Post soon! I’m almost becoming teary eyed, the fact that you considering writing a *sniff* Betty fic. I knew you had a thing for EZGirl…next week, we’ll work on Amy Ziff ;)
This is cute. I, too, loved the “have fun watching grass grow” line. I can’t wait to see where what’s going to happen next, so post soon…or else. :) Okay, how about post soon, please? :)
Well me too, but I hope a good storyline (maybe i’m a dork, lol). Thanks for this.
