Say Nothing Chapter 17
Chapter 17
“I guess it’s time to talk” Tina’s voice became a whisper.
“I think so.” Bette smiled. She had wanted this talk and now she was going to get it. “Let’s go out to the beach.”
“Sounds great.” The ride was made mostly in silence, both obviously thinking to themselves how they wanted this conversation to go. Bette parked the car, got out, walked around to the passenger side door and opened it for Tina, she stepped out. They walked hand in hand to the edge of the sand and removed their shoes as they took their first steps on the beach together. They found a shady spot under a tree and sat closely under it.
“You first.” Bette implored Tina to talk.
“Bette, I don’t even know where to begin. All I know is that from the moment I saw you standing in the foyer of my home, I felt something. Something I have never felt before. If I could give you a better explanation I would be happy to but, it is just that simple.” Tina didn’t really do much to explain where she wanted this to end up.
“What do you want out of this besides spending time with me?” Bette returned to Tina the words that Tina had said.
“I want to date, or, be involved, be in a relationship….. I don’t knooow. All I know is what I feel and I’m an artist not a writer. My self expression does not always translate well verbally. I guess the question is, do you want anything from this?”
Bette who was generally verbally skillful seemed at a loss for words. “How do we make this work Tina. You live a half a world away? Seeing each other three times a year, I’m not sure constitutes dating.”
“I could move to LA.”
“Absolutely not. You could not possibly be serious.” Bette’s eye showed fury.
“You don’t want to date, have a relationship?”
“Tina, that is not what I am saying. I don’t want to fall in love with you. It scares the shit out if me. If I lived in Paris, I wouldn’t give this a second thought. I would be thrilled to be in this position. Logistically, I am not sure how to make it work.”

Hope everything works out fine for you, sweetie. As for this update, it was enchanting, dearest DJRK. Tina is really finding the right way to relax Bette and give the exhibit a good perspective. Now that both have agreed to the path they shall take, they are more at ease with each other and able to express more their true feeling. Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. Give our best to your beautiful half ChaCha. She’s a real keeper. PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)

Thanks so much for another chapter. Your Tina is unravelling control freak Bette and it is wonderful
wow, another great chapter… u really didn’t disappoint us… and pps…:)
I absolutely love this story. I am so glad that your partner gave you some new ideas, so it can continue for awhile. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and your time with your father. I took care of my mother who had alzheimer’s for over seven years. Although, it was a daily experience, I was happy that I could be there for her.
watching them part will be torture…make the time go by fast please. i think bette feels if tina moves she will lose some of what makes her the “tina kenard” and the love of art in her will not let her agree to tina giving up her creativity.
Everything’s working out very nicely. I wonder how long it will be until one or the other moves their life halfway across the world? Hope your visit and the dinner go well. Lovely chapter, thanks for posting, djrk.
I love this story and I love Thanksgiving…it is probably my favorite holiday. Food, Family, Friends and Football. What more could we ask for? Oh…and update to this story! So glad you are going to continue it..and I hope you both have a wonderful time with your families.
Finally – they really talked. And with what a wonderful outcome! hope they stay strong through all the exibit craziness and their time apart! Looking forward to your next post! have a good week!! Thanks.
