Phoenix Rising (9)
Chapter 9
It was just past 7:00 and dinner was ready. Alice and Shane looked at each other and Alice spoke.
“Do you think we should wake her?”
“Normally, I’d say no, but she really needs to eat. I’ll go in and see what she says.”
Shane tiptoed into the bedroom and sat on the side of the bed and put her hand gently on Tina’s back. Tina rolled over and sighed. Shane removed her hand quickly and whispered in Tina’s ear.
“Tina…Tina…Wake up.”
“Be…Oh…Shane…Hey. What time is it?”
“It’s just past 7:00 are you up for dinner?
“Yeah, I’m starved. I’ll be right out, okay?”
Tina washed her face and came out into the living room.
“Hey TK, we missed you.”
“Sorry I slept so long.”
“Grab a seat and I’ll bring dinner over.”
“Thanks.”
They sat down and enjoyed their dinner. When they finished eating Alice looked at Tina.
“Tina, I’ve been good…I didn’t snoop, I didn’t pry…but you have got to give me something here. I’m dying.”
Shane and Tina laughed at the truth of their friend’s words.
“Al, it actually went pretty well. We talked some…It was good to hear her voice…”
“Are you going to see her when we get home?”
“I told her I’d call her when we got settled…Al, she offered to move out…to let me live in the house…to help…she was so…so…sweet.”
Shane smiled.
“That’s great Tina…she’s changed a lot…she’s, I don’t know…calmer…”
Tina laughed.
“Well she wasn’t exactly calm, but she was sweet.”
Tina just stared into space as she bit her lip.
Alice jumped up and started clearing the dishes.
“So you guys gonna just sit there or are ya gonna help clean up?”
They giggled and started to clear the dishes.
They were laughing and talking while they cleaned and then Tina turned to look at her body.
“So, you guys think I’m starting to gain a little weight back?”
Alice laughed.
“Now, TK that is something I never thought we would ‘ever’ say to each other. But you, my dear, are looking better every day.”
“You guys think so…Shit…Don’t even….How the fuck did I let myself get this way…I guess it’s going to take some time…”
Shane walked up behind Tina and put her arm around her.

I’m loving this story more and more! Thank you so much for posting so frequently!
Everyone should have a Kit in their lives. Great story. Let’s get cracking and on to Bette! PPS!
I am dazed and amused by this story . . . thanks for the awesome post DnA.
Nice to see that your Kit and Tina still have fond feelings for one another – makes sense.
Having Kit meet them at the airport was wonderful. I thought when Kit showed up that Bette might be around. Wish she had been in the airport to at least see Tina for herself. They will get together at some point I’m sure and hope it isn’t too far away. Alice and Shane did a lovely thing for Tina and they are right she did the same for them and more in their long friendship. It was a lovely gesture for a lovsely lady. This is a wonderful story for two very warm, loving and resilient young ladies that deserve to love each other again. Thanks for bringing this wonderful story to us. Thanks for the shoutout. PPS
I am so hooked on this story…PPS so emotional
Wow, that’s real friendship for you. Loving this story.

Hey there! I am on pins and needles now that everyone is being introduced back into Tina’s life…I’m strapped in, let the big one come!

Hey D&A, Just caught up with the last three chapters.And oh so much has happened.It was sweet that Tina had such good friends in Charlie and Katie. Tina does have closure now with her time in Phoenix.The call to Bette was so emotional and tender. It showed that Bette is still pining for Tina and she has grown up a lot in their time apart. Bette now wants to do what is best for Tina. It was so sad when they hung up and Tina was overwraught with emotions. This has been one helluva journey.Then returing to LA and Kit, How touching was it for Kit to be there with oepn arms and welcoming her sister in law home.I do hope that the gang can help heal Tina and get her and Bette back on track.I just cant’ wait to read more.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
