FORCE of NATURE
Chapter 17
All in a Morning
~~~~
Tina was sitting at her vanity applying the light makeup that she customarily wore for work when she caught sight of her bedroom door opening very slowly. An unruly blonde mane crest the top of the small bureau between her and the door; her heart melted knowing Anthony was working his way to join her in bed had Tina’s early rising this morning not intervened. She had slept well and would have preferred to have remained that way, but an early meeting demanded she be at work to speak with the east coast office beforehand. Nine o’clock in the morning New York time meant too damn early L.A. time.
Anthony peered around the bureau and met his mommy’s smile with a sigh. Tina held out her arms and he shuffled to the offered embrace.
The blonde mommy lifted little Anthony up into her lap and her half-asleep son snuggled into the warmth of her body. She kissed the top of his head as she cradled him back to sleep. Nothing measured as precious in her life as her little boy and she savored these moments of unconditional love.
After placing Anthony in her own bed to finish his sleep, Tina fetched Chloe to keep him company. Two more pups to find families for and it was obvious that it couldn’t come soon enough for the exhausted K-9 momma. The faithful companion to her son settled in contentedly at the foot of the bed as she placed one more gentle kiss to her sleeping son’s forehead to bid him sweet dreams.
Not surprisingly, Tina found her mother up preparing coffee. “Good morning!” She greeted upon entering the kitchen; her heels tapping out her quick pace on the tile floor.
Vera turned toward Tina as her daughter reached for a travel mug from the cabinet above the sink. “Good morning.” She replied in kind with a smile. “Do you have time for breakfast?” She asked noting the mug selection generally meant Tina would be rushing out the door.
“Just toast this morning…” Tina began as she prepared her coffee to taste. “I ate way too much last night.” She confessed.

I’m glad Anthony’s doing a back-up drawing, just in case. ;) I don’t think I can say enough how much I enjoy this story, but I’ll say it again: I love it! thanks, sk. :)
Aaaauuugghhhh!! Too good, you can’t stop there? :)
SK/C, I love this story even more than your lemon cake recipe. And that’s saying something! Your other story has gotten off to an intriguing start also!
I did a happy chair dance when I saw you posted again. Happy happy joy joy. Loved the chapter. Yes Anthony can’t leave things to chance put it all in your drawning..
tina’s calling? she’d better LOL
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I literally groaned out loud at where you left it. Good grief girl! PPPPPPPPPPS!
Seriously? This is where you take a break?
Tut-tut, SK. You are having a “relapse” moment of evilness. It’s ok…we all fall off the bandwagon of compassion…one day at a time. Maybe saying a serenity prayer will help you or by posting another chapter. You choose. LOL! Seriously…your story captures the phrase…”A little child shall lead them” It is so beautiful indeed.
Uhhhh, I think the one above me is commenting on the wrong story. I’m confused. Anyway, Maddie and Anthony are so adorable. PPS!!
Such a cute story.PPS
Yes, I do live in Florida. I live on the Gulf Coast in Pensacola. I love the kids drawings. Do you think that if I draw a picture of Bette and Tina they will become a part of my life?
Loved the chapter. Anthony and Madie are so darned cute and they are just at the right age to be absolutely adorable and so lovable. Would you be kind enough to give out the lemon cake recipe this year? So happy they will start dating, well maybe. Wish Tina had let the writer come to her instead. If Madie and Anthony’s wish-drawing can conjure up things you really want, well hot doggies, I’m getting out my drawing pad and start to sketch the woman I want in my life. Dang, times a-wasteing. Thanks so much for posting. Love this story more each post we get. So sweet and loving. Thanks.
Excellent love how you write about the Kids and Tina and Bette. Just brilliant.
Hahahaha!!! Anthony you are a really wise boy lol.sunkissed, you can’t help yourself, can you?Always teasing us by stopping just where…. you…..shouldn’t pmsl. PPVS
Hey Sunkissed, I just adore this different take on Bette and Tina’s beginning.Anthony and Madie are so precious.This was a tense and terse chapter as both Tina and Bette’s frustrations came to the fore,Now I hope that familiar voice was Tina’s and not her mother’s.Bette and Tina really do need to talk and plan their next date. (Hint, hint!)Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
wouldn’t Bette like to go to NY for a visit with that red eye flight? Nooo…too soon huh? Shame, it’s always nice when you can get away for a short -even business- brake.
and SOME people say I am a tease?
Yep, I agree! Just evil to stop there. You’re grinning again, aren’t you? Lol! PPS
God this is so good. I can just feel the frustration of the two as thier days put a distance between them then neither will admit they don’t want. Nicely done … very nicely done
