FORCE of NATURE
Chapter 16
Schoolgirl Crush and a Woman’s Heart
~~~
Tina carefully pulled Anthony’s bedroom door closed after checking on her sleeping son. Down the dimly lit hall, a slit of light spilled out from under her mother’s bedroom door. She quietly made her way to Vera’s room and knocked softly.
“Come in.” The elder Kennard said breaking away from her book to focus on the door.
Opening the door just enough to extend her head into the room, Tina smiled at her mother seated in her reading chair with her feet up on the ottoman and legs crossed at the ankles. “Just wanted to let you know I’m home and say goodnight.”
Vera brought her chin up and regarded her daughter through the lenses of her glasses that were resting low on her nose. A few quiet beats passed with mother and daughter smiling at one another.
“You look like you had a good time?” Vera observed.
“I did.” Tina said and smiled fully.
“Good. Good for you!” Vera said closing her book and removing her glasses. “I’m glad.” She smiled truly happy to see her daughter’s bright smile shine through her father’s hazel eyes.
“Well… umm, I guess I’m off to bed now, so goodnight.” Tina said deciding to keep the evening’s details to herself at least until the morning.
“Goodnight.” Vera replied. Just as her daughter pulled clear of the door she called her back.
“Oh, Tina?’ Vera rushed.
“Yes?” Tina answered pushing the door open and standing more in view than previously.
“Tell me…” Vera began with a serious tone. “Do you kiss when you eat spaghetti?” She teased posing the question her grandson had surprised her with at bedtime.
~~
“Oh come on Bette…” Alice implored. “You can’t just dismiss me like that… I’ve known you too long and that smile is a dead giveaway, you can not expect me to take ‘I had a nice time’ and leave it at that!
Bette kept her back to Alice as she moved around the kitchen preparing a cup of tea. “Why must you know anything more, Alice?’ Stirring the dollop of cream into her cup, she forced the smile off her face before turning around to face her friend. “I had a nice time… it was a nice evening out with a very nice friend…”

Always a pleasure.That metaphor adolescent crush – genius.
You’re right. Love can be divided and not diminish too… For example, I’ve loved each of your chapters so far, and I’m sure I’ll have enough love for as many as you wish to produce! ;-)
I love this story, and the way you write Bette & Tina. So sweet.
Glad I had time to read today. I just read all of your posts. I love this story!
i hope vera is there for tina if she needs a friend…that schoolgirl crush talk is so cute
It’s always a pleasure to come home from work and to just read your stories, C. They make me forget how tired I am. LOL. I may not be able to comment all the time but I read your stories when you post them. Thank you. I wonder how you will continue…I can’t for the next one. As always….
I just want to give Tina a cuddle and tell her to go for it. Such a lovely quote… and I think both their hearts are big enough. Sweet chapter, sk. thank you. :)
what a beautiful quote
Oh Tina, bless her little heart, as my Irish mother would say. So much heartache – I’m glad she has Vera there to guide her forward. And the schoolgirl crushes – so damn cute…those were the days, LOL. PPS!
Avocados…yeah…they are awesome! According to Prevention Mag – 1/2 an avocado a day keeps the fat away. Back to your story…ahhhh…so sweet…”inner teenager.” The banter is so delightful. I sniff drama coming up with Tina feeling guilty about Kelley…but meantime, it is time to enjoy the “tummy butterflies.” Way to go SK!
Thank you SK. Aboslutely adorable this update. By the way, can I retract my stament – any stories you write I’ll read :) Thank you again and just love the way you write.
Shy and adolescent, but mature enough to express her feelings to Bette. Go Tina!
this is an adorable story I ca not wait to read the next chapter.
Oh Tina honey, yes your heart’s love is large enough to divide and not diminish. As for the attraction she feels towards Bette, it is telling in that Tina is missing the friend she had in Kelley that she could talk to rather than the lover Kelley was to her. I am ready for the really official “date” for them. This story is so lovely and I love it so much. Laney and the girls were so cute in their texting and watching “our girls.” “Double D” heh, lol, well that’s a first and I like it. Sorry that happens sometimes, AT&T sucks. Linbooks told me there is a way for authors to delete the double posts. So happy for that because it takes up room for other readers comments. I’ve always wanted to go back in and delete them but can’t. Thanks for posting.
Ok sunkissed it is very hard, I understand :-)pmsl. But knowing you,hahahaha you will do it hey lol.How cute and emotional for Tina hey. I hope Bette will be there for her and Vera will support the couple(when they become a couple ) to growth. I loved their telephone conversation, so sweet and full of flirt. I am asking politely sunkissed :-) can we have some more post like yesterday please hahahahaha!!!
Lovely post SK!! I love that quote, it’s so true. I’m hoping beyond hope that this will be another 3 post sunday…whaddya think? Wink, wink… no pressure! : )
