Force of Nature
Chapter 1, Water Cooler
“Now I want everyone to remember, we have to be quiet until we get into the screening room… Anthony?… that means you too.” Ms. Stallings gave the little boy a firm look to emphasize her point.
The boy smiled with excitement at his teacher. “Yes ma’am.” He said earning a smile in return from Ms. Stallings.
Bette Porter looked up from the group of three- and four-year olds to the floor number display above the lift’s doors with her hands gently resting on her daughter’s shoulders. She had dreaded the fieldtrip during the days prior, but succumbed to the children’s excitement once she joined them at her daughter’s preschool to fulfill her requirement to participate as a chaperone once a quarter. The prospect of sitting through a private viewing of the an animated children’s icon’s newest DVD pre-release did not excite the gallery owner, however, the thrill it generated among the kids, especially her daughter, was infectious.
The elevator opened up on the executive floor of the studio’s main building and the studio intern assigned to their group led them out with a playful ‘shushing’ and a wink. The children had been instructed to hold hands with a buddy and two by two, they followed the intern down the main corridor. Bette had fallen back to the rear of the line, enjoying the sight of the marching group and had no way to prepare for what was about to take place.
A reception desk was on the right side, mid-way down the corridor and the young receptionist smiled as the children approached. Coming from the opposite direction, another intern waved at the group before turning his attention to the water cooler beside the reception desk. In normal fashion, the intern obtained a paper cup from the dispenser and pulled the lever to fill the cup. The water tank burped, sending several large bubbles through the reservoir with a hollow ‘bluup, bluup, bluup” sound stopping Bette’s daughter in her tracks.
The little girl froze for an instant staring at the tank then spun around with a look of pour panic at her mother. She grabbed herself with both hands and shouted “Pee Pee mommy! Pee Pee!” then ran full speed past the reception desk down an adjacent hall.
“We’ll catch up.” Bette said over her shoulder to Ms. Stallings as she sprinted after her daughter.
“Madie!… Wait!… Madie!” Bette called out in a loud whisper to no avail.
Tina Kennard checked the time and put her computer on standby, she buzzed her assistant over the intercom as she stood and put on her suit jacket.
“Yes Ms. Kennard?” Came a young female’s voice through the speaker.
“No interruptions for the next ninety minutes Carly, unless it’s an absolute emergency.” Tina said with finality.
“Well yeah… but…” Carly began.
Positioning her finger over the off button of the intercom, Tina repeated her instruction before turning it off. “No buts… ninety minutes with no interruptions.”
Tina walked briskly across her office to her private entrance to leave without notice, setting her mobile to vibrate as she reached for the door. Stepping out into the hall, she looked up from her phone toward the sound or running approaching her. Surprised and amused at the scene, she quickly came to the rescue of the little girl nearing her door.
“This way.” Tina directed loud enough for the trailing adult to hear and ushered the child to her private bathroom.
The little girl made a beeline to the toilet and was hoisting herself up when Bette came in. “Thank you.” The brunette said with a relieved sigh.
“My pleasure.” Tina replied backing out of the bathroom and taking in the faint scent of vanilla and roses belonging to the gorgeous brunette.
“Mommy I had to go bad.” Tina heard the little girl say as she pulled the door closed behind her.

While I have been enjoying some of the seasoned writers returning, my mantra has been “What about sunkissed?”. I was so happy to see your name in my daily list of stories to catch up on. I love this sweet love story. I also have been wondering how long the gestational period is in Fan Fiction? ; )

It’s so hard to loose someone you love and look up too. I’m excited & doing a happy dance. Can’t wait til its caught up to where you left off. PPS

Thank you for bringing this back! Please don’t get rid of Vera. I love a feisty Grandma. PPS!
The long wait is over. Delighted to see you are back and thank God! you have not joined the exodus that has occurred these past days. I knew you were gone even before the upheaval that’s going on. “You left, but you came back” — thank you! I have been following “Force of Nature” until it disappeared. But i never lost hope that you will come back — I kept on checking whether you have re-posted. Are you going to share your other stories too with other readers who did not have the opportunity to read them? They are excellent, captivating stories: “Noble Deeds & Hot Baths” (under you other name Chelone) and “Rhytmic Freedom”
First time reading this one. Looks good but way too short :) I love ‘Tibette beginnings’ so I’m really looking forward to read more soon. We need at least 4 pages at a time :) when we get 2 or less we tend to whine.
Hoorayyyyy you’re back! Welcome back SK. Sorry to hear about your dad. I’m so happy that you’re reposting and finishing this story. I hope you will do the same with Rhythmic Freedom soon?Thank-you SK!
Yes! Thank you for posting. I loved this story the 1st time round and it’s even better reading it again. Thank you SK. Have missed you.

You don’t know how relieved and excited I am to see your post. When some author’s decided to leave the site, I checked your name and found nothing. *Sigh*, I was very sad and cursed under my breath, but you didn’t leave us and I am so happy. I loved this story the first time and I will love whatever changes you decide to make. I am also very sorry to hear about your father. *Hugs*, and thanks for making my day. PPS!!
