“Yes you are…I’m sorry Al, I don’t really remember last night so whatever I did or didn’t do, I’m sor…” Alice interrupted Dana quickly, stopping the athlete from saying anything further.
“You can’t do that Dana, you can’t be sorry for something you can’t remember. It’s just a lie, and there’s nothing to be sorry for…nothing…happened.” The writer said pulling her shirt over her head and slipping on her socks. Dana sat forward bringing her knees to her chest,
“Then why are you pulling a Shane on me?” the athlete asked, the comment catching the writers attention, Alice looked quizzically.
“A Shane?” the writer deadpanned, Dana shrugged.
“Yeah she throws on her clothes and slips out of the house before you even wipe the fucking crust out of your eyes…” the athlete said, Alice wincing in disgust as she looked for her shoes.
“Alice come on please talk to me, you came over here last night and I’m sure you still want to talk…” Dana said, the writer slowed her search for her shoes realizing they were in the front room.
“I thought you didn’t remember last night,” Alice sighed staring out of the window, her back turned to the athlete.
“You wouldn’t have come over unless you were ready to talk…I know you Alice, we were friends first you know.” Dana said, the words seeming familiar to her, pieces of the night flashed across her mind. She remembered the kiss and remembered asking the writer to stay…but past that there was nothing.
“Well, I was a little high and I wasn’t thinking super clear, if I had been sober I would have seen how bad of an idea talking is…especially since we never get around to doing it.” Alice said warily, Dana nodded in agreement.
“I know, but we can talk now…I want to tell you how much…” Alice interrupted the athlete’s budding love confession,
“No Dana, no love confessions ok, we’ve both done that and the shit doesn’t work…You’ll just get half way through it we’ll fuck and never actually talk about what we need to.” The writer said gruffly, Dana’s eyebrows shot in the air.
“Ok…well, how do you want to do this then?” the athlete asked, a little surprised at Alice’s frankness. The writer stood up,
“Well you have an appointment at twelve, I’ll try to dump some of the bottles and crap from last night while you get ready. We can grab a cup of coffee and I’ll take you to the appointment…we can talk afterwards I guess.” Alice said, Dana jumping out of bed a looking through her closet.
“Ok, that sounds good, but you don’t need to clean for me, I made the mess I can get it later.” The athlete said peeling off her underwear, Alice trying hard not to look at Dana’s naked body as the athlete strolled around the house preparing for her shower.
The writer stood up quickly her eyes darting around nervously as she made her way to the door,
“Um well, actually I think I’ll still tidy up, not for you but for me, I really don’t want to sit in the living room that looks like a frat party flew through it.” Alice said tripping as Dana stood in front of her,
“Ok well it’s your choice, there’s nothing else for me to be embarrassed about now I suppose.” The athlete said stepping into the bathroom as the writer breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling to herself.
“She couldn’t wait for me to leave the room before she took all of her clothes off…I swear she did that on purpose.”

I was so glad to see that you updated this story…Not that I don’t love Apogee but this one is my favorite. And they do need to talk but this was a good start as well. And Alice was right Dana did that on purpose…hahaha go Dana! Looking forward to the talk(s) so keep um coming.
I agree – definitely on purpose! Thanks for the update.
Oh how I love and miss this story! I’m really glad that you updated this! Alice and Dana just need to get over themselves (and their addictions), and realize that they both still love each other a lot. Danish was meant to be together, and I hope that when they talk they realize that. I love the way you write these characters, because it is so dead on. I can picture everything perfectly! Great job, and please update again soon. I always look forward to reading whatever you write, because it’s all incredible! :-)
Awww… you dedicated this one to me, you’re so sweet, sugar. And thats why I call you sugar, lol. Poor Dana is such a mess. I love that she’s so appealing whether she’s messed up or not. I’m relieved that she’s not a sloppy drunk, lol. I found the kissing to be rather sexy… wonder how you’d be with a few drinks sugar. I find it amazing Alice can sleep next to her in bed with only her underwear…. and nothing happens. Wow… what will power, lol. Wonder what would’ve happened if Vic didn’t wake them up… if it would’ve played out differently. I can feel the tension building between the two but there is nothing wrong with that, lol. I like the little tiff… then Dana strolls around naked, and of course Alice can’t help but look. Looks like Dana knows how to push Alice’s buttons, lol. That was a great addition to your story… and it took awhile but at least you’re still writing it. Please post another soon… I’ll trade some of those hershey kisses if I have to. I love you sugar.
i love this story. i actually forgot about it since its been so long since you updated it. but it was a good one. you need to do it more often. i am glad that alice is finally realizing that the only one for her is dana. but dana definitely needs some help.
You left me hanging when I read the snippet (ending with the question). But Alice said yes! And that was the most excited I got this chapter, because the rest of chapter frustrated the hell out of me. *reliefs sighs of frustrations* When will they pull it together? Dana needs to get of the drugs and the booze and Alice needs to make up her mind. As for Dana stripping in front of Alice, she didn’t do it on purpose. I just blame it on Dana being an athlete and she is used to walking around naked around other women in the locker room. I’ll bet you she never gave it a second thought… :P
I only have a minute, so I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the update. Great job. I look forward to reading more, and can’t wait to see where you take this. Bring on the Danish!
I finally registered on this thing so now I can let you know (once again) how much I love this fic. You write the characters perfectly :D I can’t wait for the next chapter. I know you’re trying… so try harder :P
Thanks for the great chapter ClosetDana =)
Ooh naughty naked Dana.. I bet that was a sight to see lol. Oh and cuddling in bed together in just their underwear was very sexy! Hmmm. Even tho there is a lot to sort out between Danish it was nice to see Alice being there for Dana, and the emotions they are both feeling for each other are building up nicely!! Alice now needs to get Dana off these pills.. then maybe they can talk more openly. Great chapter, post soon. Thanks. Ps tenterhooks sort of means anticipation so that is good? [for me anyway] lol.
oh that dana… she’s not as clueless as people think. she totally did that on purpose. looking forward to your next post, can’t wait to hear this talk they are going to have.
Great update – keep it coming.
I hate being repititious with my comments, but I’m so glad that you updated this. Srill finding it hard to believe that nothing else happened between Alice and Dana even with Dana being intoxicated, but it was great all the same. Can’t wait for the talk, so please post soon!
I think making Dana the scapegoat was just your way of taking the attention off of yourself. Again you leave us hanging …. such delicious torment. I so completely love this fic. While I do love Apogee, I love this one just a little bit more & can’t wait for the next update.
