Chapter 18
Tina and Bette were waiting for their baggage to arrive on the carousel after an uneventful flight back to L.A. for the Christmas break.
"There’s Alice," Tina waved as Bette turned around to determine which person appeared headed in their direction.
She soon spotted who she presumed to be Alice, a spunky looking blonde dressed like a hipster, and attached firmly to her iPhone.
Tina approached her and they greeted each other with a big hug before Tina took Alice’s hand and led her back to Bette for formal introductions.
They made small talk about the flight for a few moments when Bette noticed that her bag was making its way by them. She caught up with a few short strides before seeing that Tina’s was also on its way. She patiently waited for it to arrive by her to retrieve it from the carousel.
"She seems nice," Alice said quietly.
"She’s great," Tina enthused. "I can’t wait for you two to get to know one another. I think you’ll like her a lot."
"I like her because you like her," Alice replied. "She must be pretty special if she’s managed to capture your attention to this extent."
"Thanks for coming to get us," Tina said. "We’ll be able to catch up more tomorrow when I’m back at my place after picking up my parents."
"You’ve basically been living together for the last three weeks – how’s that going to go when you have to go back?"
"I’ll throw myself back into work," Tina said. "She’s got a job to get back to as well, so we’re both taking it as an opportunity to refocus on our professional responsibilities."
Bette made her way back to them with their bags.
"Thanks Bette," Tina said as she took hers. "I probably would have let it go around a few times while Alice and I caught up."
"Now we can talk while we’re on our way back to my place instead," Bette said. "If we’re hosting a party tomorrow, there are things I want to take care of."
They exited from the baggage area at street level to cross over to the LAX parkade.

Just loving this story. Perfect advice to tell loved ones that they are loved while you can.
It’s the end? :(( That was a great story, I can’t believe Tina bought a ring too hahaha, also on another note, how is it possible that Bette wore the ring onboard and Tina didn’t notice? hahaha oh well, either way, this was great, thanks jks! :)
Happy wall watching everyone 🎅🎄🎁 thank you swimmie!
this is the right ending!.. thanks.
Are you kidding, the end! Oh Swimmie, no. We don’t want it to end yet. Can we get a sequel at some point, pretty please? Wonderful story, Swimmie. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
The END…OMG??? Well, I guess it couldn’t last forever. I have to say though, you’re writing is the best. Thanks so much for this story. I loved and am hoping for an epi. Pretty please…if not, can I please request you come back with another B&T tale? :) Thanks and Merry Christmas!
A Merry Christmas to you, JKS! Loved the story, thank you. So nice to have a happy ending.
Merry/Happy _____ to all! What a sweet story — looks like you stopped before anyone bumped into any walls. Thanks so much and best wishes to you and yours for the holiday season.
Wow, that end came up too soon. Thanks for a great story! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you come back with another story soon!
simply perfect
JKS, I’m not ready yet for this story to end. But I am consoled by the thought that another fine fic fom you will soon be in the offing. I hope this couple have not acted in haste. I believe that it generally takes 6 months for the masks to descend and reality to portend. Well, since 20 years after freshman year would make them 38-39 or so, I should assume they know themselves well enough to toss caution and mortgages to the wind! You could revisit them after their crash course in matrimony and let us know what developed. Two, dare I say it, spinsters might find cohabitating a challenge. Thanks. Me and my kin prefer “Merry Christmas!” to one and all …!
“I bought you a ring for Christmas,” Bette said… “Wow” is right ;)
Wonderful story
Sweet ending to a lovely tale. Thank you, jks, and Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/wall-avoidance to you! Cheers :)
The end ?Too early for me but thank you for a beautiful story.Please continue writing and happy holidays for you.
What? There is something wrong I think with the format. Thank you for this lovely story.
I loved how you ended the story. It really was the only way to do it. Don’t disappear too soon.
Thanks for another great chapter and a sweet ending. I like it that some stories don’t always have to have intense drama in them. This was a delightful story.
Wonderful and enjoyed every word. Thank you
Merry Christmas Swimmie! Thanks for giving us this sweet story and hopefully there will be many more stories next year.
Great story, thank you.

May be you’ll consider returning with a sequel sometime?
