Chapter 86 – You’re the Boss
Bette’s House – Bette’s POV
Since Tina still had my shorts and tank top she wore home the morning after the first time she spent the night at my house, I was able to wear my own clothes for the drive of shame back to my house. Even though she had thrown them in the washer, her natural scent lingered on the soft threads and kept me company during the drive.
I was pleasantly surprised when I returned home from Tina’s later in the morning to find the band rehearsing away in my backyard. Angus was the lead vocal for a song I had only heard a portion of the night I came home from my first non-date, date with Tina. I entered through my back gate and watched the band enthusiastically play as Angus gave his all. My sister looked on in amazement as she rhythmically shook the tambourine in her hand.
It made me smile that she was so smitten with him. I’ve never known my sister to shack up with any guys who were worth her time, but she and Angus had danced around their attraction for as long as the band had been playing together. That had been the better part of the last two years. She had yet to give in to his charm, though it never stopped him from trying to develop more than a friendly connection on stage with her.
I remember telling him less than a year ago to be patient, because I was sure she would come around eventually.
“Waiting patiently
Wanting anxiously
More than neighborly
Looking longingly
While I’m playing by heart
Hoping to start
Something real with you
What do I gotta do
Just want to try something new
Feels like I’m playing by heart for two”
It wasn’t hard to figure out who the song was about, especially since Angus stared at Kit the entire time he sang the chorus. Without wasting anymore time, I pulled out my phone and shot the tail end of the performance on video. Maybe I’m biased, but they really do sound great when they play together.
I ended the recording when the band wrapped up the song. After slipping my phone back into my purse, I rewarded them with a walking ovation and a few whistles. They each looked more than pleased with themselves.

Early morning swims? That makes me shiver just thinking about it. Hopefully you’re in a heated pool!

I had a crazy weekend at work, but you made it go away with this update!
It was a pleasure to read it again and looking forward to the new chapters!
meloveslu says
Thanks Bibi! Why do you work on weekends? When do you ever get to relax?
Bibi28 says
Hi MeLL,
I work twice a month in the weekend and have free time during the week. I recieve extra payment when i work in the weekend and on special days like Christmas, Easter etc. It allows me to go away for short holidays, like going to Laurel Holloman’s exhibition this year in Paris.
And i love to work those days. As former train manager i am used to work in the weekends and holidays. Over two weeks i have 5 nightshifts, that will be new for me, i hope i stay awake ????
I plan to take my tablet with me, because between 1 AM and 5 AM there is nothing to do. So feel free to post as many chapters!!!

I read the first story and I’ve kept up with the updated version. Umm, very much still in love with it! Thank you for updating. I truly madly, deeply hope these ladies have the happy ending they deserve. Especially since Laurel may not return to the show. I guess I’ll be coming here for my daily Tibette fix lol.
meloveslu says
LOL. Thanks Tie! Glad that you have come back to find out how it all shakes out. Looking forward to your response to the ending soon!

So short ughhh ! Were you in a rush ? the dentist maybe …
meloveslu says
Who are you calling short? I’ll have you know that I am of average height for a female! lol. Just kidding. You’ve become spoiled by other authors for sure. I’m going to have to have a talk with them to get them to stop making me look bad.
izzie says
Don’t be mad ;-)
Here’s for you :”Qui aime bien, châtie bien”
Have a good week !

Aaron Bluetooth, beware of the wrath of Tina, the evil Sith Lord! LOL. You’d think that some ignorant idiot like Aaron would be fired. Hopfully Tina gets to give a repeat performance of her last encounter with her boss.
And I hope that Jody will someday get what she deserves for the wy she treats other people.
I’ve been out of town for a few days and therefore a week worth of reading PBH behind. As it’s getting closer to 1 a.m. it’s too late for me to read your Sunday’s post but chapter 86 is just long (or short) enough for me to enjoy before turning in for the night.
Thanks for posting, MeLL, and thanks for taking us on this wonderful trip aka “Playing by heart”.
It’s been a real delight to re-read all these chapters again and discovering the little updates you made.
Looking forward to read how you wrap up the story.
Have a good week!
