Storm Watch 02.16 – Ashes of Hope

            Two days, only two days had passed since Rosita’s father had released her from her promise and what a two days it had been.  They’d talked about Max and about where they wanted their lives to go, and who would be along for the ride.  They’d come to the conclusion that they wanted each other in their lives.  They were not going to define how that was going to happen.  Ro just wasn’t ready to delve into this type of relationship, but Tina was happy with the way things were right now so they were at a cross roads and the ball was in Rosita’s court.

            Tina was not going to push there was no way she was going to lose Rosita from her life, and she was a pivotal part of the rebuilding of her life.  Rosita wanted Tina in her life she still unsure as to in what capacity, friend or lover.  Tina was content to give her the time she needed and wanted.

            Tina started her car and waved good bye to Rosita who was putting the finishing touches on a car and was about to leave to meet her father.  She pulled the last of the tape off the windshield and nodded to herself, trotting over to her car.  Tina rolled down the window and yelled.

            “Why don’t you come to the Planet when you are done?  We are all having a late dinner.  Dana‘s arranged for a cook or something, can you come?  It’s going to be a big party please?”  Tina begged pleaded in her head that she had to come, she just had too.

            Rosita pushed the pink sunglasses up to the top of her head and she shrugged, blowing a strand of hair from her eyes and she smiled.

            “I don’t know how long I’m going to be with Papi but how about I promise to try?”  She offered and Tina grinned brightly and nodded, yelling back to her.

            “Deal, if not I’ll see you later tonight.”  Rosita said nothing and merely got into her car, and Tina drove away with a bright wild grin plastered on her face.
