Reunion
Story written on November 5, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
"I liked her 20 years ago," Tina admitted. "And I just hope to make the next couple of months more interesting than the last six have been."
Their server had since been by to pour their wine. Alice lifted her glass towards her friend.
"To an interesting couple of months," Alice said. "And to breaking Tina Kennard out of her shell."
"I’ll drink to that," Tina touched the rim of her glass to Alice’s. Their simultaneous sips sealed the expectation inherent in Alice’s words.
Chapter 5
"So what are you going to do?" Zack asked Tina as they were wrapping up their afternoon together.
"Be as confident with her as I am when I’m at work," Tina replied, repeating the mantra he had been focusing on for the better part of the day.
"It’s not whether you’re good enough for her," Zack said. "It’s whether she’s good enough for you."
"I don’t think she’s short of offers," Tina said.
"You’d be fielding all kinds of offers too if you actually went out and interacted with the world now and then," Zack said. "Lesbians love the shy, sensitive type."
"I’m not shy – I happen to be very outgoing," Tina argued. "But sensitive…I just don’t like rejection. No one does."
"She’s interested or she wouldn’t be coming up with more reasons to see you," he said. "Keep that in mind."
"I’m seeing it as a social opportunity," Tina saved her work before closing the program they’d been working with. "Regardless, I need to get out more. Even if it’s just with friends."
"Well, I agree, but I don’t think she wants to cultivate a friendship with you," Zack said. "She’d be lucky to have any kind of relationship with you. You’re a great person."
"Thanks for the encouragement, sweetie," Tina hugged Zack before picking up her coat and purse and heading for the door of the lab they shared when not in one of their own offices.
"Good luck," he offered as she left to meet Bette. "Text me and tell me if you got laid!"
"I’m not going to text you!" Tina laughed. "And I’m not getting laid. At least, not tonight."

Awesome chapter, jks!
So sweet and cute, love them. Please post more, thanks!
Just got caught up on this lovely tale. Hmmm, Tina as a physicist trying out her bold side, I like it. Plus she’s got to have some glasses she wears when she works that drive Bette wild. Bette in a power suit always does nicely, but she needs to wear something sleeveless – those arms… : )
I love the way you are moving this along. Thanks for the post.
Hell yeah swimmie!!! I absolutely love this post. Everything from the pace of the story to the pace of the tour. I love the “short on time” philosophy they’ve both adopted. I’m using my computer this evening so no emoicon >-@> that’s the best I can do. It’s looks like a partially eaten fish. Oh well. Thanks swimmie!!!!!
No time to waste is right. Moving along nicely. If you’re going to have Tina wear glasses can they be tortoise because…well just because…you know what I mean?
This is a lovely story. Two adults finding each other after 20 years and it feels as if it was just a few days ago. Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing Swimmie. Where do you live Swimmie, I thought you were in NY or somewhere in the NE.
as the saying goes..love is lovelier the,second time around..that was true to them. ..thou that was flirting before. .. :P
Perfect – love this story. Thank you.
Great job, thanks
Thank you for the lovely update. I love that they are just being themselves. Time is short so why waste it. Sweet story!
Very stimulating dialogue -the one about art and physics! This is the beginning of a beautiful..friendship, a two month fling, or more? Can’t wait to find out.
Very well done. Thanks for the post. :)
Just exhilarating. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Loving this story.
your Bette and Tina are always so entertaining and real. Love this story
Love it. Thank you
I love your writing style.Thank you for another great update.
As I read this story, I am transported to your Bette and Tina world. Their world is so enchanting, I don’t want to leave them and come back. Thanks for posting!
It’s good to see an uptick in Tina’s confidence. I guess they both want to make up for lost time and also make the most out of their limited time together there. Can’t wait to see how their affection and attraction for each other grow. Thanks a lot for this treat, jks! =) And I’m praying for an Obama win. A lot is riding on this election not only for the deeply divided Americans but also for the rest of the world.
