“This is a surprise.” Butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. “I thought we weren’t seeing each other until Sunday?”
“I took the day,” Lara said with a warm smile. “Something came up or I would have surprised you with lunch instead of dinner.”
“Kathleen, will you take the children and help them wash their hands?”
“But we’re clean Mummie,” Jun Ying protested. “See?” She presented her little hands for inspection.
“Darling, it won’t hurt to do it again.” Helena’s voice was noticeably softer. “Mummie needs a moment with Lara. Is that okay with you?”
“Come on Jun Ying,” Wilson was all older brother in that moment. “Let’s go feed Leonardo and Michelangelo.” He was still proud of having convinced his mother to let him name the turtles after the Mutant Ninjas.
“You’re upset,” Lara said the moment they were out of earshot. “What can I do to help?”
“You might call and let me know you’re leaving town,” Helena snapped in a measured tone.
“That’s what I need to discuss, but I thought it could wait until after the kids are in bed.” Lara couldn’t figure out why Helena was reacting like this.
“You’re absolutely right, Lara,” Helena stated. “Apparently everything about us can wait until later.”
Lara was taken aback. She’d finally understood that Helena was feeling neglected and was trying to do something about it, but Helena’s coldness wasn’t making it easy. She reminded herself to stay centered before she spoke.
“I know it’s been difficult lately and I understand that it’s mostly because of me,” Lara said firmly, but quietly. “I’m sorry I didn’t recognize it sooner and I intend to make sure that you and the children know that you come first in my life.” Helena remained impassive. “Unfortunately my sister picked the five minutes before I was going to leave for your office to call.”
Helena forgot about everything else for the moment. Lara’s sister had called. And there was a suitcase in her car. The Brit’s chilly reserve dissolved.
“Is everything alright?” She moved closer, her concern obvious.
“Not really,” Lara answered quietly. “My favorite Aunt is dying and is asking to see me.”
“When are you leaving?” Helena took Lara’s hand in hers.
“My flight is tomorrow at 11:15 in the morning.”

OK first off this was the best chapter so far Sammy!!!! I Loved it,u write so freaking awesome and alls I can say Is Awww. Im pissed at Laras Family for being such Assholes! GAWD! And im proud at Shane for going to see Someone for her problems! Im VERY proud of Alice for going through that place and reliving that nightmare,And then Dana being so loving and careing (God u rock Sammy) The sex was Fucking AWEsome,u say i rock,not by a long shot,U ROCK~ Thanks and PPS
Where oh where to begin. Helena’s insecurity is palpable and I am glad that Lara caught on. I feel so terrible for Lara having to deal with her family. I hope Helena takes care of her. The Alice and Dana was amazingly written pain, terror, reconciliation, and finally LOVE! Living with some who is clinically depressed let’s you see things in people and I wondered if that may be a route you were taking with Shane. It is mind numbingly terrifying and for friends and family it is confusing and painful. I hope with the groups continued love and support Shane will find her way through.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I am so proud of Alice and Dana to make it through going to that hotel. The support they show each other is really touching. Lora and Helena are killing me. I hope they don’t end up throwing what they have away. I am a bit concerned about Bette. I know Tina has faith in her (and so do I) but she does need to be carefully that she doesn’t impact her job in any way. I’m glad Shane has been diagnosed. I hope she will follow doctor’s orders — and tell her friends about it so they can help support her. Alice’s explosion of anger and tears was so real. She never really did have a chance to process those feelings. Could Dana have been any sweeter or supportive? And the NC-17 at the end? Excellent! I think Alice needed that after the day she had to reaffirm life. I simply love your writing. Every sentence is a thing of beauty. Thank you so much for this amazing story!!
After a chapter like that, the only one doing any bar-setting here is you! You proved my point again, this installment is better than all the previous. Alice’s breakdown and the support Dana gave her during and afterwards were brilliant. Shane’s diagnosis wasn’t entirely surprising, and I’m glad she has such good friends to help her through. Lara’s family sounds a lot like mine. I feel so bad for her, but just as bad for Helena being so insecure. I hope Bette and Tina are able to overcome the slutty TA’s plans. And don’t worry, there won’t be any scrolling from me…unless of course I absolutely have to in order to keep reading.
always excited 2 see this story…
Great update and great to have you back again. Damish forever!!!
What can I say I Love this story…Cute “Game Set & Match!”
Fantastic!!!!! love this story so much go danish!! :)
hiya,I’m kind of very late into this, since I was out of town for a while, but being able to read this with all the updates made it that more better! Fantastic story, great quality as always. Great to see Danish becoming parents soon. I also love the storyline about Lara and Helena. Hope Lara’s family is not going to be too bad to her. Can’t wait for the next update! :)
Its always a pleasure reading your stories mama b. You know, its even better when I’m not doing a horrible job proofing for you. But you always have my back, even when I’m trying to have yours you had mine…its safe to say that when backs are being had you’ll always have the final back in the back having process. Also I must give kudos on you portrayal of Alice’s feelings at the hotel it really pulled me in and kept me. I’ve read it three times and it still really grips me. Also the sex was hot hot hot very smooth transitions on that ankle move, Dana’s no slouch in the sack apparently. I can’t wait for the next chapter and for the AlShaDane conversation. PPS Luv Lil’Cubz
