Beautiful Stranger; #06
I had yet to tell her about Bette, but I wasn’t quite sure where we stood on that situation yet. I guess I would say it was complicated.
I smiled happily to myself, whisking the frothy egg white and sugar mixture.

I was standing outside Borders when I thought I spotted her. I squinted my eyes to try to focus them through the crowds of people. That long wavy hair and slim physic, her arms were around someone I couldn’t quite make out. I shook my head. Bette was in Thailand. I was getting paranoid and that definitely wasn’t a good sign.
“Tina!” I heard Lara call my name. I turned to see her decked in a flowery printed dress and flip flops walking towards me.
“Let’s go, what’s for dinner? I’m starvation central,” she said the moment she reached me.
“Shall we try out that place, Marmalade Pantry? I heard they have killer desserts.”
“I was thinking of that too! They’ve been talking about it so much at work.”
We took a quick walk down to Palais Renaissance and made ourselves comfortable in one of their very plush booth seats next to each other. We ordered after taking a quick read through the menu.
“Do you think Dana was your soul mate?” I asked Lara while we in the middle of our salads.
“Define soul mate,” she replied.
“I guess to me it would be someone who connects to the core of your inner being.”
“Then I don’t think Dana was my soul mate, I loved her dearly and did consider what life would be like if we had ended up staying together for the long run. But sadly, things didn’t quite turn out that way. I do have this theory that people don’t always end up with their soul mates.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Well, because I believe that even friends can be soul mates. And someone who connects with you innately might not necessarily be the person who you have a passionate connection with.”
“That makes sense. So you think that people have to choose?”
“I think people always have to make a choice. There are always the safe choices and the riskier choices. But the riskier ones always seem to pay off in the end, if you’re patient enough.”

Great chapter, I hope Bette just walks up gives Tina a hug and waits for her to explain instead of getting angry turning around and getting back on the elevator. Can’t wait for what comes next. PPS
Great chapter but did u have to stop there:( I guess like everybody else I’ll keep my fingers crossed n hope all will be well:)PPPVS
I knew that Lara was going to cause problems…just had a bad feeling something like this was about to happen…shucks! I wanted Bette to come back and sweep Tina off her feet in some grand romantic gesture. Now let’s hope she gives Tina a chance to explain…great chappie! PPS!
Oh goody Bette is back. I hope that she understands that Lara is a friend and nothing more. Was the woman that Tina saw earlier with her own arms wrapped around another person Bette?
Thanks for the update…very much enjoying the story. Hope Bette does not act hastily. pps.
OOHHH you killing me…awesome story and loving every bit of it…now comes the good part and i cant wait for you to post soon…so hurry:)
I smell drama. Then again, the Bette portrayed here seems to be the understanding-not-jumping-into conclusion Bette. And if she is just that, I think Tina might fall a tad deeper into her. I know I would. Thanks for the update! pps
Uh-oh. Hmmm… so the Thailand trip ended early. Does this mean Tina saw Bette outside Borders after all? If so, who did Bette have her arms around? Questions, questions… post soon, thanks!
I hope Bette doesn’t get mad and understands that Lara is a friend. Thanks for the post and pps
i don’t know how this one would turn out. Bette doesn’t seem uptight in this story so she may not see the hug as anything other than friendly. However Tina may have actually seen Bette earlier and misinterpret.
If Tina didnt ave some bad luck she wouldnt have any luck. Maybe that was Bette that Tina saw. How will Bette react seeing Tina hugging someone else?? thanks
Its okay Bette, just huggin her! nothing else, she’s been waiting for you!!
Well it was just a friendly hug after all, hope Bette believes that! PPS
That was just MEAN!!!! I do hope Bette will be OK with Tina hugging Lara. Please not to much Drama. Thanks Loving this!!! PPVS
