Work to Do Chapter 9
Dana and Alice exchanged shy smiles and rolled their eyes. Stella took this for their assent.
Alice’s Apartment- Thursday 11pm
Alice was just getting around to washing her dinner dishes when she
heard the key in her lock. It had been a long time since Dana had used
her key when Alice was home to buzz her in.
Alice didn’t mention her not using the intercom first. Instead, she
tossed Dana a towel and asked her how her evening workout had gone.
Dana absently dried a glass and told her all about the crew from Nike
that had watched her train.
Alice listened raptly and oohed and aaahed in all the right places.
At the end of Dana’s account, Alice relayed gossip from the radio
station and an on going saga involving moving “The Chart” to five
afternoons a week during ‘drive time.’
They chattered easily as they cleaned up the kitchen and made evening
cups of tea. Neither mentioned the departure from their standard ‘code
of silence,’ not wanting to break the mood.
Dana went into the bathroom first and tossed on a pair of sweat shorts
and a tank she kept there. Alice followed her in. She went through her
nightly wash routine along side Dana, passing moisturizers and tooth
paste back and forth.
The only hesitation was as Dana left to make up the couch. Each could
sense the other’s observation as Dana wavered by the door. Finally,
Dana turned to Alice with perhaps the most genuine smile she’d offered
her in six months. “Good Night Alice.”
The look Alice returned was a perfect mixture of frustration and understanding. “Night Dane.”
Alice had turned back to the mirror when she saw Dana’s reflection still staring at her. Alice turned back inquiringly.
“Would you like a kiss good night?” Dana wondered.
Alice nodded up and down several times as Dana approached her. Pushing
Alice gently against the wall, Dana kissed her softly on the mouth.
Their foreheads met in the familiar resting spot as they looked at each
other. “May I kiss you good night?” Alice breathed, watching Dana’s
mouth and eyes. Dana’s eyes glazed as she nodded her permission.
Slowly Alice leaned into her before locking her mouth on Dana’s. The
same frantic need from before took the place of the kiss Alice had
intended.
Whimpering, Alice slid down the wall and out of Dana’s embrace. “I’m
sorry,” she gasped haltingly. “Dana. Sweetie. You’re killing me here. We
either need to change the plan or I need a cold shower.” Alice
bit her lip and gave Dana a “what’s it going to be?” look.
Dana laughed shakily. “I could probably use that shower too Al, but I
guess taking it with you would defeat the purpose.” Giving Alice a
quick peck on the cheek, Dana escaped to the living room.

“Would you like a kiss good night?” – Yes I do! LOL you’re an evil tease too. I love the famillarity they shared in the last scene, going about their nightly routine together without a
second thought. It’s so intimate and clearly shows the connection they shared despite the situation.
Another great chapter. Still waiting for the wild sex scene. Seriously though, loved the theraphy session and the nightly routine.
Layla Gray is right – such a tease! :-) Your chapter was definitely worth delaying my viewing of DH. I liked how they were able to talk to each other at the doctor’s office as though she weren’t there. I can’t wait to see how Dana and Alice proceed. Thank God for fanfiction. lol
Loved the way you depict Alice and Dana’s interactions with each other. Lookin forward to your next chapter. Thanks for the great writing!!!
I am one of your biggest fan Cape, this is one of my favorite story. Please post soon and hey? Check your PMs :) Both in l-word and MB
Thanks God for Mondays (never thought I would write that)! Really loving your story – you write pain and love so easily – Fantabulous!!!
I feel cheated. You lured me in here with the promise of a wild sex scene. Hmph! *sticks tongue out*
Okay, it was worth it anyway. Another great chapter. Looking forward to the next one. Oh, by the way, a wild sex scene would still be nice… =)
I am glad to see that they both want to see where they will end up even if it is as friends or lovers can’t wait to find out so please post soon I love it
I have to get up earlier on Mondays now since I know that you and layla will have both posted then (and I’m still suspicious about that). Anyway, I would obviously make a terrible couples therapist as all I could think of when Alice slid down the wall was the promise that “wild sex scenes ensue” . . . ! And since I always tell you what my favourite line was, I think this week it’s, “The look she gave Alice both broke her heart and stole it”. Ah, you’ll turn me into a romantic yet! Nice chapter.
