Put it up to your ear…what do you hear…Chapter 4
Bette and Meg had settled themselves into a semi-private booth at a small, family owned Italian restaurant, tucked away on a quiet side street in West Hollywood.
Meg had found the restaurant one day as she was jogging by. When she noticed two rotund men, standing outside smoking cigarettes, and bantering back and forth in Italian, she thought that might be a good indication of the quality of the food. So, she stopped by a week later…and ever since, had been adding an extra mile onto her running routine, in order to accommodate her newest Italian addiction.
At first, Bette had been more than a little skeptical when Meg mentioned where she wanted to eat. “You do remember that I just came back from living in Italy, don’t you? How could Italian food in Los Angeles California even come close to that?”
Meg smiled at her stubborn friend. “Do you miss the food?”
A sigh escaped the lips of the sultry brunette, as she thought back to the year she had just spent living in Venice Italy, completing an internship at Gallery dell’ Accademia. A soft moan followed the sigh, as she smiled in memory. “Oh God Meg…the food…”
Meg couldn’t help the giggle that rolled out of her throat, caused by the look of wonder on her friend’s face. She had missed this woman so much during the last year This was one of the things that sucked the most about growing up…knowing all your friends will be moving on with their lives, starting their careers, and except for short visits here and there, you will never ALL be in the same place, together again. That’s what made this visit so important to both women. They had been standing beside each other for so long, the thought of not having that safety net, as they embarked on their next adventures, was scarey for both.
“That’s why I am taking you to Antonia’s. I promise you…you will think you are back in Venice.”
With the memory of ‘melt in your mouth’ homemade pasta still dancing in her head, Bette had finally agreed, and they were now sitting, enjoying a glass of wine, catching up on each other’s lives…waiting for their food to arrive.

Well petal, it’s so good to see 2 chapters in as many days! Reminds me of the good old days ;)Don’t worry, I have a desk all set up for you to write from so no excuses when you get to England!Loved the phone story, I nearly fell of my chair laughing!
Yep,I’ll have to agree with your friend. A little every day, is a good thing, for us, especially. And, it’s working, too. This story is great. I can’t believe how you’re bringing these two together. Never would’ve thought of it, but it’s great! Wow, even after all these years, Tina still had the shell. Bette will faint when she finally sees her shell, again. Can’t wait for that. So, little bits and pieces, okay Sea, everyday, too, please!!! Oh, and thanks for writing again.
Oh, we’re getting close to the meeting that will change Bette and Tina’s lives!!I seem to remember reading in one of previous installments of this story that the sounds coming from the sea shell were those of love, hope and happiness. The sea shell was a safe haven for little Bette and then the safe little haven was picked up by Tina. The love, hope and happiness will eventually come full circle when Tina meets Bette and they discover this little magical sea shell they share/shared. Love/hope/happiness lost, love/hope/happiness found… I just love where this is going, Sea!! Just keep writing and we’ll be happy. Thank you.
I look forward to their meeting at the party. I can’t think of anyone better to write it. Thanks!

Hello.Your story has great possibilities and I just can’t wait how you decide to develop it. It’s so hard to get back into the groove of writing, but once you do, everything just pours out and you can’t type fast enough. You just have to find that place again. (Easier said than done.) You’re a great writer and you probabaly have many stories to tell. It is just a matter of taking those amorphous ideas and weaving them into hopefully cohesive and coherent words.I hope you find your muse soon. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
great work. I hope you get back into your writing for your experience. It is a total bummer when it doesn’t “come out” as we planned it. Good luck and good intent..*winks*
thank you for an update. please post even a short or very short chapters. this’s gonna be such a sweet story.
Very cute. Looking forward to seeing the way you develop this. Your writing is just fine, stick with it.
Ok I wont hold you to a post everyday but maybe every other day..LOL…Awaiting to see where you take us!
Sea, aren’t we the lucky ones… 2 chapters in 2 days maybe a 3 fer(sp?.. I’m sure this is sp is wrong!!!LOL) Even if it’s a short one tomorrow it would be WONDERFUL…hint, hint…THANK YOU!!!
Oh, that cell phone thing was hilarious. Tell your friend we still love her, but that was too funny not to share with others. I have to say that giggle seashell thing is pretty spooky now…in a romantic sort of way. Anyway, missed you!
Thank you for writing.
I’m loving where this story is going!
This story is destined to be fantastic! I’m afraid to read on scared of the emotions that will come from me because i see happy and loving times ahead
