"Thursday at my house," Tina agreed, releasing her light grasp as she headed for the door. "And don’t tell Alice; you know for a fact she arranged our being here tonight. Don’t want to give her too much satisfaction."
"Not yet anyway," Bette smirked as they exited into the noisy hall.
No indeed. Not yet.
Chapter 6
Their ears rang with the din of the music, even as Bette and Tina walked in the parking lot after leaving the Planet barely after midnight.
"I haven’t been out this late in a while," Tina commented as they approached their respective vehicles.
"Me either," Bette replied.
"No?" Tina was genuinely surprised. "You were always such a night hawk…"
"Those days are long gone. It’s too hard for me to vary my schedule from week to week. And Angie is such an early riser…I can’t stay up late and expect to be coherent for her in the mornings."
"She tells me you’re strict about bedtime," Tina said. "I didn’t expect you to be as much of a stickler for rules as you are."
"And I didn’t expect you to be quite so … willing to negotiate with her?" Bette suggested.
"Well, I never vary from what you and I have agreed on. If it’s an ironclad decision we’ve made, there’s no getting out of it."
"But if there’s room for interpretation…" Bette let her sentence trail to silence.
"I err on the side of giving her a bit more freedom lately, it’s true," Tina conceded.
"This is me," Bette said, as she approached the front fender of her car. As was her habit, she had backed into the parking spot to allow for an efficient departure.
"Tonight was fun," Tina slowed to a stop and faced Bette as they spoke.
"It felt good to laugh with you," Bette said.
"Bette…"
Her name hung in the air between them for a few moments before Tina summoned the courage to continue.
"I want to ask you over, but I don’t want it to be awkward," Tina rushed the words out. "Loud night out, it’ll probably take us both a while to wind down, Angie’s not home…"

Thanks for the update. Fate has taken a turn and destiny is at play once more. We shall see where it lands. Maybe the first time wasn’t the right time to be together, but with the growth they’ve made emotionally, maybe they’ll be stronger this time around and communicate as they should have the first time.
you were right i liking the way you taking the story, can’t wait until the next post
It’s so strong, the pull between them.
You can’t change fate..sometimes it is what it is and you can only hope for the better. I’m definitely hoping for the better when it comes to them.
Great stuff JKS. Thank you.
Ugh…I’m so addicted to this story. I just want to shake both of them. I love your writing and I’m sure you’ll take care of them for all of us. Can’t wait to see where you’re going with them. :) PPS!
Enjoyed it, thanks. Looking forward to see how this plays out
Bette’s departure was abrupt, but I think something that neither of them were ready may have happened otherwise. Nice post, thanks for the chapter, jks. :)
I hope there will be a happy end for all Tibetters.Thank you for the update.PPS
I have been away from the site for a while, so what a treat to find a new story from you! And, of course it’s wonderful as always. Makes we want to read more stories! Thanks!
Can’t wait until the next update.
I agree with all the comments. PPS!!
Thanks JKS for another update! A bit tensed.. But in a good way ;-) and I am curious where do they go from this point?! So looking forward to your next chapter :-)
Agree with everything that was said in comments made above me. They can’t stay away from each other but are too stubborn with way too much pride to admit their feelings for each other. Hope they can talk again with no interruptions and admit what they are feeling and what they want, each other. Great story. Thanks for posting.
Wow! You may have been gone for awhile…but my oh my … you have not lost it. Superb writing and an enjoyable read, as you always provide! For a minute or two, I thought you were gonna shake it up! :) Do your thing, Swim! Regale us!
Can’t wait for more I love the direction this is heading towards.
this chapter really hit a nerve because this situation resembles something real, i hope these two will work things out and i really wish that real life could work in the same way…wonderful writing as always :)
