Previously…
“Are you hungry?” Tina asked breaking the short silence.
”Starving actually. Hospital food and I don’t agree.”
“Do you think you’re comfortable enough to ride a bike or do you want to walk to the market?”
“Why don’t we walk, that way you can tell me more about your Loveladies.”
Chapter 8
“That was an amazing meal. Thank you.” Bette sat back in her chair next to Tina and nodded her head to the wine being offered to her.
Tina refilled Bette’s glass and her glass. She placed the empty bottle back on the table. “I can’t believe we finished one bottle.”
“It’s a great bottle.” Bette took a sip. “I like your selections.” She glanced over wine cooler underneath the kitchen island. “I recognized some of them.”
Tina glanced back to the kitchen. “Well, you always did have taste when it came to wine and other things.” Tina took a sip of wine. She held the liquid in her mouth, letting the flavor penetrate her taste buds. “It’s been a long time since I had this selection.” She smiled. “Just as I remember it.”
Bette watched as Tina sipped her wine. Had conversation always been easy between them? She thought. She listened as Tina told her about her neighbors to the left of the house and the neighbors to the right of the house and how far the beach goes.
“Would you like to take a walk on the beach?” She heard the blonde ask. “If, you’re not too tired that is or we can sit on the deck and relax on the lounge chairs or we can stay inside.”
“Tee, whatever you decide is fine.” Bette swirled the wine in the glass. “I’m not tired at all.” She stopped what she was doing. “I feel energized for some reason.” She reached across the table and placed her hand on top of Tina’s. “Thank you for inviting me to your beach house. It’s just what I needed.”
Tina turned her hand over and grabbed Bette’s hand. She gave it a squeeze. “You’re welcome.” She gave Bette a smile. “I’m glad you decided to join me.” Tina released the brunette’s hand. “Why don’t you sit on the deck and relax while I clean up.” She stacked the plates and placed them in the sink. She turned to Bette and watched as Bette carried the remaining dishes. “Take the throw from the couch and bring it outside with you while I load the dishwasher. It will only take about ten minutes. Oh…” Tina paused. “Do you still like ice cream because I have a container of Ben & Jerry’s.”

Wonderful update enjoyed it. They will get it together before long, now that they know how the other feels. Thanks for posting.
The idea of them being alone at the beach sounds so romantic to me. Great way to refresh their memories of their happy times together. Thanks for the update T! PPS
**I meant them being alone at the beach house(-;
Great update.I think Andrea is now history.Thank you and PPS
More coincidences with Andrea and Tina…. interesting. Bette’s clearly been yearning for Tina for a long, long time. Maybe she’ll make the most of her opportunity, if she can get past everything. I’m curious about this strawberry/balsamic vinegar/ice cream concoction… but not curious enough to try it myself, as my palate is the stuff of cowards. I have a very willing test subject in mind though. ;) Thanks for the post, tg. :)
Thanks for the update. Ditto to the above comments. Its a wonderful story of hopefully new beginnings.
That was just so great. Thank you
Really enjoyed the update, thanks
Sweet Mary mother of God you’re singing my song…reduced balsamic vinegar and ice cream with strawberries. I haven’t had that for a long time. Clearly, Bette has some lingering Tina issues, and was trying to find her substitute in Andrea.
So much time lost. That’s so sad.
Thats good and they need to talk
That’s me all caught up… Perfect chapter… Not sure about the strawberries and balsamic vinegar but ‘don’t knock it until you tried it’ right? Funny the things you do unconsciously which link you to your past…. And even when they are pointed out to you, you don’t pay attention until it nearly slaps you in the face… Great piece of writing too! XxK
so bittersweet for these two always, but I guess love is never easy and simple
