A Second Chance at Forever
Story written on August 28, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
"Tee…are you okay?"
"Yeah, I’m good," Tina replied, finally making her way past Bette. "I just…was remembering something from work."
"You look…kind of frustrated," Bette offered.
"One of those days," Tina replied lightly. "All set…"
"I love your house," Bette said. "This is the first time I’ve been up here."
"Really?" Tina furrowed her brow and pulled her head back. "You haven’t even seen Angie’s room?"
"On the rare occasion I pick her up, she meets me outside," Bette said. "And of course, lately we’ve stayed downstairs when I’ve been over."
"We have time if you want a quick tour…?" Tina’s voice raised to imply the question.
"I’d love to see it if you don’t mind," Bette replied.
"Main bathroom," Tina waved over her shoulder. "But because she’s gone a week at a time, I find I have things in there too."
"You have a master ensuite?"
"Through here," Tina lead the way to the master bedroom. She flipped on the light as they entered. The curtains had been drawn to block the afternoon sun.
"Serene space," Bette commented. "And you always had an eye for detail."
"Thank you Bette," Tina replied. "That means a lot coming from someone whose taste I admire."
Bette walked over to confirm she saw what she thought she saw on the wall that was to the left of the entrance.
"Tina…" she found herself at a loss for words.
"I love that painting Bette," Tina said. "I had it in the den for the longest time, but the West sun strikes it at the end of the day in here."
"I didn’t think you would still have it," Bette finally found her voice. "I’m glad to know the person I painted it for still sees it."
"Everyday," Tina replied, joining Bette at her side. "And it always brings you to mind."
"Come on," Tina made direct eye contact with Bette as she spoke. "I’ll show you the rest of the house and then we should get going."
They took a few minutes to tour the remaining rooms before they made their way to Angie’s game.

Slow and steady wins the race, right? I like the pace of the story and will miss it when it ends.
I love this story and your writing, I wish it would go on forever!
this story is touching me on a personal level, i just wish that life was just like your fiction LOL waiting for more :)
You have been away far too long to even hint at this story ending! I have found myself reminded of how engaging I always find your character dialogue. Thank you so much for taking the time to return.
It’s probably best they not forget their rekindled friendship in what they’re trying to explore. I like how the story’s going and I’ve been enjoying reading it. Take your time, we only just got you back! Thanks for posting, jks. :)
Don’t end it to soon. I have been enjoying your writting so much. This is a great story. I hope you have another story in the works.
I love this story and the pace. Please don’t end it too soon and if you feel you must, then I hope you’ll bring us another story to follow this one. Glad you’re back and enjoy reading your stories. :)
I like this story! The details make me feel like I am watching a movie. This back and forth which obviously comes from fear is something that happens a lot in relationships and I can’t wait to find out how Bette and Tina will deal with it and how/if they will manage to make something good out of it.
Please take your time,no need to end this great story.Please don`t leave the site again,I`m so glad you are back.
They are making progress
Great update. I love the dialogue between the two and Angie throwing her two cents in on top of it. That was a nice flow to the story. Its great that they are working on their friendship as I see that the possibility of more exits. Great writing!
You take the time you feel is necessary to tell your story. I love the slow and in depth look you take at the progression of their relationship. I am so glad that you didn’t have the 2 of them just jump into bed right away without solving any of their issues. Thanks for the post!
Read all your updates on this story. Love it. Thank you
Ditto to all the comments above me. I love this story and hope it will not end any time soon. The way you write the story feels real and they are doing what is necessary to rekindle their friendship and their love for a new relationship and family all together in one house. Angie’s comment was priceless, she is just too cute. Thanks for coming back to us and posting this wonderful story. Please stay with us and continue to write.
left something out. What’s not to like, I don’t understand that at all. This is one of the best stories on this site. It’s not hurried, they are taking things slowly to reconnect with each other and rekindle their love without everyone else’s inteference, they are coparenting their child with much success. They are doing so well with rearing her that she wants them to “not gang up on her all the time.” lol. Typical child. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this story on some level. It’s wonderful. Keep writing, we’ll stay with you. Besides you have and have had well over a thousand views since the story started. That, to me, says that there are more enjoying the story than not. However, we respect your right not to continue if you can’t for whatever reason. But we sure hope you will stay with us. Thanks.
Thanks JKS for the update … Great conversations, sound so lively and real! :-) … PPVS?! :-) … Uhm… Excuse me… End?! I hope the end of the story is feasible through some long chapters in between this one to the finale as frankly I feel the story is just begin … A good thought will be: great!! that means you have wrote the stories … which means we can have more often update and longer chapter?! ✌😁 hehehe…
