Chapter 10
Dana closed the refrigerator and was about to walk back into the lounge area when she heard the front door open. Setting the drinks down carefully, Dana rushed out into the hallway to head the other woman off before she could make too much noise. Not that Helena was particularly noisy.
The British girl noticed Dana’s exaggerated hand motions and the finger she placed across her lips to signal that she wanted silence.
Helena nodded that she’d understood and walked further into the loft to see that Alice was asleep on the couch, her body covered with a blanket and her hair listing pitifully to one side.
Helena checked her watch. Three o’clock. Alice must have really been exhausted. Or just completely worn out from the circus that had been their lunch.
Dana said quietly, "She fell asleep about an hour ago and I want to make sure she gets as much rest as possible before the weekend."
Helena approved and said as much before she led Dana into the kitchen.
Dana looked questioningly at Helena, offering her one of the drinks she had pulled from the fridge. Helena reached out, smiling, and said genuinely, "I’d like to apologize for my actions
at lunch, Dana. I let myself get a bit carried away and I’m sorry for how uncomfortable you all must have felt."
Dana gave Helena a sheepish grin that made it quite clear how uncomfortable she had been. Still, Helena’s manners weren’t the only ones to have been drilled into her since birth.
Dana waved her hands easily and said, "It’s okay, Helena. I think everyone was just worried about the argument coming to blows."
Helena could see the humor in Dana’s eyes and she said gratefully, "I must admit the thought crossed my mind. Your Bette has quite a temper."
Dana rolled her eyes, nodding emphatically at the same time. She hadn’t known Bette as long as Shane or as intimately as Alice. Frowning distractedly at the last thought, Dana shook her head to clear it then continued with her original thought process. Bette had always been kind to Dana. Still, Alice had told her that the woman had a legendary temper that could flare dangerously. She normally felt regret for her actions almost as quickly as she had finished. Though Shane had also said Bette could hold a grudge like nobody’s business.

OMG her last words had to be the Six Million Dollar man,,LOL. Frip that was awesome and now I want to know what were in those pills and what does Al have? And Tina is now aware of Dana’s sexualtiy but will she publish it or be a rewl friend and keep it quiet? And last we see that both Bette and Helena are hot and mad about one another,,,love it… I think that Dana should call AL her “Rock N Roll Queen” you know that is the name of the song, its so cool…great chapter Frip.
Six Million Dollar Man? Oh, geez…lol…”I don’t know if I want to slap you or kiss you.” I loved that…so much passion and fury, it’s intoxicating…pps
whooo hooo! i liked this one a lot. helena and bette are great, like their old selves. fantastic, and alice is an unfolding drama i wanna read more of. pps!
You are truly amazing. What a great chapter. Is there something higher than an “A” game? ‘Cause you hit it. Poor Alice! Thank goodness she has close friends who I am sure will rush her to a hospital. I trust you that she will be OK (maybe with a little drama). I hope those pills weren’t too bad — and that she learns her lesson about taking random pills! I have a feeling that Dana is going to feel pretty bad about not being there. They really do complete each other. What a great step for Dana, though, to come out to Tina. I wouldn’t object to any Belena lovin’. I know they aren’t soul mates (like Danish), but, I would like Helena to get some. Oh — and I had those doctors in college! I’m starting to think we may be from the same school. I had a doctor that just had envelopes of pills on his desk that he would randomly hand out. The muscle relaxers were quite nice. Apparently the doctors that were no longer competent for the football team got sent to the clinic. BTW: I’m actually more of a “Mother Goose” than an “Iceman” (hence my login name — actually based on Top Gun — yes, I am that old). Please keep posting. I am addicted to this story.
Thank you for placing the blanket on A while she napped. I guess I was too late to suggest some mega dosage of Vitamin C and Echinesia for her cold before bed. What did you give A, poor A, I hope she did not damage her liver or kidney. I love the way you wrote A’s dialogue. They were sharp & funny. What is going on? Tina’s sick too. Was there a epidemic? It was great to see T being so good to D right away. The exchange between B & H was great and you ended with another unbelievable cliffhanger. How do you do it? See, everyone loves your story and you are posting at “ludicrous speed” (remember “Spaceball”?). Your story is so awesome that I want to respond immediate after each post. Unfortunately I had to go out as soon as I saw the post. All day long I couldn’t wait to come home and read. Thank you fripster!
